Nov. 2024

Played this game when I was a kid on a Windows 98 and it's just as gritty as I remember it. This one isn't just about nostalgia, I definitely feel like this is one of the best SW games next to Jedi Academy as far as story and gameplay are concerned. 10/10

June 2024

This was such a fun Star Wars FPS and a great sequel to the classic Dark Forces. It's well worth a purchase by anyone that appreciates a good Star Wars story from before the dark times (Disney).

May 2024

This is still considered by many one of the best Star Wars games out there. Sure the graphics are outdated, but back then it was an amazing immersive Star Wars experience. The game had everything a Star Wars fan would love (cut scenes, Star Wars themed sound track, modern gaming engine, massive world, etc.), and especially (for the first time I think) the option to choose between the light side and the dark side. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3248774032

March 2024

— Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is an underrated gem, a classic everyone interested in FPS games should give a try (Mysteries of the Sith is also very good, it is actually better even though it doesn't have that quality FMV cheese). — The GOG version is superior to the Steam one for the usual reasons that they are superior with regards to older games. — For the best experience, download the source port OpenJKDF2. It has a very easy drag-and-drop install and makes Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith play nicely on modern PCs. — Don't forget OpenJKDF2. — Please don't forget OpenJKDF2.

Feb. 2024

This is kind of a controversial opinion because Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy especially are still very popular for their multiplayer scene, but I think atmospherically and tonally the original Dark Forces 2 best captures the tone of the pre-Prequel expanded universe the best (along with Mysteries of the Sith in particular). This game is essentially an Indiana Jones adventure story where Kyle is racing the villains to a ancient buried plot macguffin.
