Has anyone played this yet? I’ve put about 6 hours into it so far and I’m thoroughly impressed by how good the story is and the combat is very well done. If you’ve ever played the Lord of the Rings games by Monolith like Shadow of Mordor then the combat mechanics will be very familiar to you. My only minor gripe is the lack of a mouse sensitivity setting.
The game takes place 5 years after “Order 66” was issued by Palpatine during “Revenge of the Sith”.

Its a game I'd really like to get. I've read good things about it. How does it play on PS4 archermav? Games like The Order: 1886, Uncharted 4, RDR2 and God of War have done a really good job of being optimized 30fps locked games. Not only an optimized 30fps but I think there use of motion blur all creates a consistent game play experience and overall smooth feel.
I still have yet to finish the Forced Unleashed games which I really enjoy.

I admit that the puzzle-solving can be a little frustrating for me at times, That first planet you visit is essentially one big jumping puzzle. I died more from falling to my death than from fighting the local wildlife.

You just killed it for me. I hate jumping puzzles. Yeah, I would say the game is a definite pass for you if you hate jumping puzzles. I'm now on the second planet in the game and it's also full of them.

I understood it is a bit "Tomb Raider in Star Wars setting".
From the gameplay vids I saw, I didn't take to the characters. But it's supposed to be the best SP Jedi Game in a long time. I've put 15 hours into the game and I can corroborate all of what you said. It is very much like the Tomb Raider games in that you have the frequent jumping and swinging from a rope puzzles but the story so far is surprisingly very well written and interesting. In fact I'd say it is good enough to be made into a film! Where this game really shines though is with the combat. The lightsaber and Force mechanics are the best I've ever seen in any SW game.

I still want a new Empire at War game. There are tons of mods, some look really good, but it's not the same. Too often mods overcomplicate a great game. It would be nice to see KOTOR get the Mass Effect treatment. Otherwise, I want some non-Force centered games and not simple cockpit fighter games.
Fallen Order looks great visually, but just doesn't seem like much of a change from the Force Unleashed games, at least as far as action.

I never played the Force Unleashed games but based on some Youtube game play videos I've seen I'd say your assessment is accurate. I would absolutely love KOTOR getting the Mass Effect treatment and I would gladly pay $60 or more for my digital download copy. Of course that will never happen since EA is not interested in that approach for the SW gaming license.
