Whether a retro enthusiast or a curious historian, this should absolutely be in every player's library somewhere, Switch or otherwise. Truly, Jedi Academy is one of the all-time great Star Wars titles and this port helps reaffirm that.
The Dark Forces / Jedi Knight series was a pivotal moment in the Star Wars gaming franchise. Released between 1995 and 2003, the games brought new stories and characters to the Star Wars universe, all while revolutionizing the first-person shooter genre.
These games are crazy nostalgic for me… those FMVs… I can almost smell the computer room in my house growing up.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is a 2003 action video game set in the Star Wars universe, featuring customizable Jedi characters and a variety of gameplay options including single-player campaign and multiplayer modes.
What's bitterly disappointing about the Switch version is you can play against Bots or people, but can't do both!
Me and my son wanted to play in the same game, against Bots on our Switches, but can't.
Star Wars has a fantastic history of PC games. These are just 10 of the best Star Wars experiences you can play today.
This isn't a review.
I remember asking my parents for Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast for my birthday in 2002. Outcast and Academy have a special place in my heart and are excellent games. Single-Player for both games follow a pre-Kathleen Kennedy agenda with their stories, and they both are some of the best entries in the Star Wars universe.
