Cal Kestis is the hero of "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order." He was once a padawan training to become a Jedi, but the Jedi Order was executed by the Empire before the start of the game.

Cal is searching for a set of ancient alien temples to repair his connection to the force and restore the Jedi Order.

Cal isn't alone on his quest — he's accompanied by BD-1, a helpful droid who keeps a map for Cal and scans the environment for information.

Combat in "Fallen Order" is intense and can quickly turn deadly for Cal. Your lightsaber will cut foes down quickly, but you'll need to learn how to parry and dodge enemy attacks since you can only heal in limited amounts.

There aren't a ton of enemy types, but they each feel unique and require slightly different strategies to beat. Mashing the attack button will leave Cal open to attacks.

"Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" has a quite a few bosses, too — beating them requires a mix of strategy, proper use of force powers, and good timing.

Cal explores several planets, each with their own environment. You'll have to battle against animals and the elements to complete the journey.

Cal doesn't have his own ship, so you'll spend your time mapping out the planets on foot and finding ways to reach unexplored areas. There's no fast traveling either, so you'll have to get used to navigation and platforming.

Respawn worked with Lucasfilm to ensure that each planet in "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" had a distinct personality, and bizarre alien creatures to match.

Between clashes with the Empire and adventuring across the different planets, "Fallen Order" will provide a challenge for most players. Luckily, you can change the difficulty at any time.

The story-driven action sequences in "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" are some of the game's finest moments, but you have to restart the game to replay them.

The story isn't anything life-changing, but it will feel fun and familiar for fans of the "Star Wars" movies.

As always, "Star Wars" fans can expect some twists and turns as the story unfolds, and the game is short enough to warrant multiple runs.

Completing "Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order" took me about 12 hours on the second-hardest difficulty, Jedi Master. I could easily spend a few more hours collecting hidden treasure, upgrading Cal's abilities, and just enjoying the combat.

"Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order" is the best "Star Wars" game in a very long time, and a refreshing return to story-driven games for the "Star Wars" franchise.
