Deciding the best Star Wars game is like choosing your favorite Jedi. Every player has their preference when it comes to the best game.
Now add to the mix your bias on preferred lightsabers. See how you have a hard time choosing the best Star Wars lightsaber game.
However, the perspective can quickly shift if the game is easy to play or features one of your favorite challenges. It automatically becomes one of the best games.
Similarly, according to the mass of Star Wars fans, some games have been ranked the best. They have been chosen according to the dynamic mechanics of the lightsaber control, the character’s abilities, and the graphics of the quests.
Although I must say it is a popular Star Wars game that many Lucas Arts films were okay to play. While other games gave you a realistic lightsaber experience. As if you were wielding the lightsaber in real time.
What do you have to say? Take a look at our list and see if you agree!
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
At the top of our list is a Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. It features one of the best lightsabers and most desired duels of all time. Additionally, the lightsaber control is phenomenal on this one. You do not have to smash your controller’s button to dust to command a move on the screen.
The quest is also full of suspense and adventure. It follows the journey of a young Jedi Knight, Jaden Korr. Jaden trains under Luke Skywalker and goes on a quest while accompanying his master. His goal is to stop the Disciples of Ragnos.
The best part of the game is that it gives full control to the gamer. You can choose between different lightsaber blade colors even the unique ones like yellow saber, Black saber as well as a purple saber!
Not only that there are other controllable aspects regarding the lightsaber hilt, movement, and speed. The game has the best to offer!
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a rather popular game. It explores the story of Kal Cestis. Many fans were excited when the video game came out. The continuation of Cal’s story was yet to be explored. Now you get a video game where you can control many aspects. Even better!
The game follows the revenge path of Kal Kestis as he constructs his lightsaber, camouflages under Order 66, and fights the Sith Troops.
According to the fans, the game is more polished than the Jedi Outcast, the sequel. Not only that but the lightsaber striking moves are realistic and it’s easy to forget you are playing a video game!
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Although there are mixed reviews about the mechanics and the character’s abilities in the Jedi Outcast game. The Dark Knight series overall has won the hearts of many gaming Star Wars fans.
The lightsaber used in this game is exceptional. Not because the lightsaber is easy to control. Oh no. That one is hard. It is because following the continuation of Kyle Kataran’s journey you for the first time realize the shift between the blasters and the lightsabers.
Many users have expressed frustration with the timing of the quests in the Jedi Order. For someone new and with basic skills. Jedi Outcast is the best in training you in the dueling aspects of the lightsaber. The control of the lightsaber combat style however in this game? Unbeatable!
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic is the first installment in Knight of the Old Republic video games released in 2003. This game is a Multiplayer RPG game that takes place years before the formation of Star Wars films. So there are several diverse and challenging quests that players embark on.
You have free reign over many aspects of the game. From the choice of the character to full fledged lightsaber customization options. Players pave their challenges as they advance in the game with a company of choice. Furthermore, the color of the lightsaber as well as the hilt style and blade type can be flipped on choice.
Lastly, the challenges are quite traditional as compared to modern video games. Yet it cannot be denied how Knights of the Old Republic paved the way for lightsaber combats and many future games.
Jedi: Survivor
Jedi Survivor is a recently released video game by Respawn Entertainment. The 2023 video game ticked off all the expected lightsaber control boxes successfully.
This game has brought forward better display quests, quite agile characters, lightsabers that feel like they can do real damage, and enemies that pose a bigger threat. More than that the game has advanced features like stance options that give each player a unique fighting skill.
Lastly, the dynamic shift between the dark and light side of the force is quite strong here. So your lightsaber is out to good healthy use!
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
LucasArts and The Collective brought forward a clever game that managed to capture the Star Wars gaming audience quite successfully despite their doubts. The game is an adaptation of the movie. So it makes many parts almost predictable, posing a bore to the audience.
Even then the game has managed to end in this list. Because the combat play and dueling mode of the game is quite strong. It allows the players a realistic experience where they get to push their lightsaber combat skills.
As you progress in the game the angst and challenge also take a higher notch. The game is designed to test your lightsaber abilities. As well as it is a great way of teaching you the best strike moves in an aesthetic interface.
