21 hours. 21 hours is how long it took me to finish this game and I enjoyed every second of it.
First and foremost, this game is a soulslike, but if you don't enjoy those don't run away, because I don't either. The game has 4 difficulty options, I finished the game on the 2nd hardest, Jedi Master (hardest being Jedi Grandmaster). The game is very forgiving with ample "bonfires" (meditation areas), fairly easy combat compared to other soulslikes (except on Grandmaster where damage is doubled from the Master difficulty with an extremely small parry window and highly aggressive enemies), and a very forgiving intro with appropriate tutorials, with more coming as you unlock new abilities.

I don't want to get too far into the story to avoid spoilers, but suffice to say it is a significant improvement over most Disney offerings. The Atmosphere and storytelling are top-tier for the genre with an immersive Star Wars feel and a tight focus on story unrivaled in the soulslike genre.

The performance on my rig was generally good with a few framedrops in certain specific areas, which I hope gets fixed, but overall not too bad. I only encountered one bug where my character began clipping through the floor without falling through while opening a chest on Dathomir.

Overall this game is a very strong 10 for me. I had faith in Respawn to make a decent game after falling in love with Titanfall 2, but I'm thrilled that this is one of the best Star Wars games this decade and I look forward to seeing what else they might release both in the Star Wars universe, and out.
