Updated April 30, 2022, By Ben Jessey: AnotherJedi Fallen Order title seems to be on the way. This is great, considering the 2019 title is such an engaging and enjoyable action-adventure game. The bad news is it's still going to be a while before fans can get their hands on the new entry. Thankfully, there is an abundance of games like Jedi Fallen Order already on the market. And this list shines a light on some of the most notable examples. Yet, a few great ones didn't make the original version. So, we've decided to update the piece to include them. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Assassin' s Creed 2
By this point, there has been a litany of Assassin's Creed games. And the second one in the series tells a similar tale to Jedi: Fallen Order. In it, a young man named Ezio is initially hesitant to follow his supposed destiny but soon finds himself accepting his role in the conflict between the Assassins and Templars. This is similar to Cal's own story, except it's about the Jedi and Sith. Of course, each narrative differs in many ways. Yet, if you enjoyed the premise of Fallen Order, you'll probably appreciate AC2. On top of that, the two titles share a few gameplay similarities, especially when it comes to climbing and exploration. Batman Arkham Asylum
While many still think of Metroidvania games as being 2D adventures. Jedi Fallen Order has proven that elements of that genre can work in a 3D landscape. However, Arkham Asylum proved the same thing long before the Star Wars title. And it arguably still remains the . As such, it has the type of enjoyable progression these types of games are expected to have. Plus, it contains a thrilling and dark story alongside some of the best hand-to-hand combat mechanics you're likely to see. There are even some puzzles like the ones you get in Fallen Order. Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy
Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy boasts phenomenal lightsaber combat and an intriguing story. These are two things that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is also known for, so the games share similarities beyond taking place in the Star Wars universe. Jedi Academy might have more depth in terms of gameplay, though. After all, the title allows you to switch between using blaster rifles and lightsabers. Therefore, there's a bit more variety in combat. Other noteworthy things about the game include Luke Skywalker serving as your Jedi Master and the title's online capabilities. Dark Souls
Now and then, a game has a breakthrough and defines itself as a new genre. Although Demon Souls came before this game contains gameplay enhancements such as more enemies and improved combat. As a game that released the painstaking Prepare To Die Edition, it's a challenge for even the most adept players. Unmistakingly, we see similarities between Jedi: Fallen Order and Dark Souls. With Jedi: Fallen Order said to take inspiration from it, Dark Souls is similar in more ways than one. Star Wars The Force Unleashed
The Force Unleashed is set in a post-Order 66 universe, just like Fallen Order. Yet, this story differs as you begin the game as Darth Vader's apprentice, who's hunting down the Jedi that survived The Emperor's famous purge. Although the gameplay in Star Wars The Force Unleashed becomes repetitive, it's a whole lot of hack-sand-slash fun. And players can find immersion in a world that questions the lines of morality. Should you choose to be Darth Vader's apprentice or fight for the forces of good? These questions are the center of focus in Star Wars The Force Unleashed, and it helps make it one of . Bloodborne
One game takes on dark gothic themes, and the other is built around Star Wars, but the two have similarities if you look closely. Difficulty-wise, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and are comparable-aside from the multiple difficulty levels of Fallen Order. Grinding for experience in both games is similar. Bloodborne uses a "blood echoes" system that collects experience points as you defeat enemies. In both games, players can find XP (or echoes) and cash them in for player improvements. Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast
This game reached critical acclaim when it was released way back in 2002. Despite its age, Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast holds up by today's standards with the best lightsaber combat in the Jedi Knight series. In fact, . Visually, Star Wars games have come a long way since the release of Jedi Outcast. But fighting dark Jedi and many Storm Troopers is still highly entertaining till this day. Nioh
From Team Ninja, the development team who created Nioh is a Souls-like game that is all too familiar. Of course, the first thing we notice when playing Nioh is that its combat system is comparable to that of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The way enemies approach, the stamina bar, and a system that involves collecting XP give this game cachet. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order differs from Nioh because it has a skill tree rather than attributes. It's still up for debate, but an attribute system could have enhanced the gameplay of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The Surge 2
Whether you're a fan of The Surge, The Surge 2, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (or all three), they certainly have established themselves as . The Surge 2's combat system is more advanced than its predecessor, bringing load-outs that allow players to switch between weapons. Load-outs prove to be effective against varying enemies, whereas Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order has only one weapon, the lightsaber. Therefore, Jedi Fallen Order can learn a few things from The Surge 2, despite having more intriguing exploration and puzzles. Demon Souls
The original Dark Souls game, Demon Souls, is a lesser-known game that is perhaps the most impactful in recent times. The combat system was refined in later installations, but the concept of fighting tedious bosses while collecting Souls (or XP) is primarily owed to this game. Demon Souls is like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order because of its combat system. Fallen Order could have perhaps improved on the formula with a wider variety of weapons, but it's hard to criticize a game that is so polished. Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2
The story of Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 takes place after the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Once again, it follows Kyle Katarn, but this time around, he is a Jedi of the New Jedi Order. The original Dark Forces inspired Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, so maybe a future movie will take after this game. The lightsaber combat of Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 may not be as advanced as some of other Star Wars titles given its age. Despite its setbacks, though, this game can be highly enjoyable for fans of Jedi Fallen Order or the Dark Forces series. Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
Not long before Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released, rocked the video game market with its intense combat and beautiful visuals. It tells the tale of a Shinobi who tries to wipe out a samurai clan in an act of revenge. Along the way, you fight a litany of . Outside of the plot and setting, Sekiro is very similar to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. In fact, both games have helped define what the Souls genre is outside of the actual Dark Souls series. And like Fallen Order, Sekiro proves that these types of games can work in different settings. Onimusha Warlords
This PlayStation 2 classic kicked off a trilogy of games that ended with a surprise cameo from actor Jean Reno in the third title. Its mixture of Resident Evil-style approach, Japanese swordplay, and mysticism made it one of Capcom's most endearing hits. Onimusha is currently available for purchase on Steam in HD upgrade form, complete with support for 16:9 resolutions. So, there's never been a better time to give it a shot! Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
Metal Gear Solid has always been over-the-top when it comes to politics, characters, and story, but Revengeance took it to the extreme. This adrenaline-pumping action title puts swordplay at the very top of the list, making it an essential game mechanic. Players can slice and dice foes to ribbons while going up against mammoth bosses that defy the laws of physics and reality. It's a much faster game than Fallen Order, but the type of combat and inclusion of futuristic elements makes them feel similar. Tenchu Stealth Assassins
While this PlayStation classic might not have aged as well as some of its contemporaries, it's still a game that deserves a playthrough. Tenchu was one of the earliest 3rd person stealth-based games, focusing on two ninja assassins that must strike from the shadows to accomplish their mission. While the boxy graphics and poor camera controls are a hit against it, Tenchu excels at atmosphere and strategy. It might take a while to get the hang of it, but the experience is still a timeless one. The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim
If the swordplay of Fallen Order was a major highlight for you, then you might not be as impressed with what Skyrim has to offer. However, what it lacks in style, it makes up for with a bevy of weapons you can wield as you explore a vast district. that you can install to enhance the experience and provide a little more realism and challenge. In fact, there's practically nothing you can't mod in Skyrim. Ninja Gaiden Black
Gluttons for punishment will want to pick up the "definitive" edition of Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden reboot, entitled Ninja Gaiden Black, which is a compendium of the original release and its two Hurricane Packs. It's easy to see where games like Fallen Order took inspiration from, especially after playing Ninja Gaiden Black. It's rough, tough, and ready to make a mockery out of your pathetic skills. Are you going to take that lying down?
