Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the God of War Ragnarok of Its Franchise

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor makes some interesting twists and turns in its narrative, but many of its key beats are either predictable or familiar if fans have been keeping up with modern AAA games lately. It is true that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor being leashed to the Star Wars canon means it cannot make any bewildering choices, but its introduction of the High Republic and its dissection of Jedi morality were fascinating to explore. In more ways than one, though, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Cal Kestis sits under the shadow of God of War Ragnarok’s Kratos.
