Dream of Waking

#17 – Star Wars: Dark Force 2 – Jedi Knight (PC)

Jedi Knight is one of those games I would’ve been best off leaving in my memories of it. To say it has not aged well is an understatement. Some of these levels that I fondly remembered are absolutely godawful, in particular the last three and early Jedi levels. Though you get a lightsaber in this iteration and it does become your primary weapon through most levels, reflecting blaster fire with it simply doesn’t work early in the game and late in the game it’s still easier to use Force Pull to rip the weapon out of your enemies hands before you get shot up too bad than it is to reflect shots back at them till they die. The last boss was a total pain in the balls and left me with this sour feeling. I don’t think I’ll be playing Jedi Knight again anytime soon.
