During a livestream on April 30, 2023, Twitch streamer Saqib "Lirik" shared his thoughts on the recently released game Star Wars Jedi Survivor and claimed it was one of the "weaker" releases of 2023. He compared it to Hogwarts Legacy, claiming the Avalanche Software-developed title was "more polished." However, he claimed that, in terms of combat mechanics, Hogwarts Legacy lagged behind Jedi Survivor as players were not adequately punished in the former.

The streamer added that there are some instances in Jedi Survivor wherein players can be affected and hurt when using certain moves and abilities.


Lirik gives his take on Star Wars Jedi Survivor combat mechanics

Lirik was two hours into his livestream earlier today when he started discussing the state of recently released games. He claimed that Star Wars Jedi Survivor was one of 2023's "weaker" launches. He compared it to Hogwarts Legacy and claimed that it was "more polished," saying:

"I would now say, this is probably one of the weaker releases of 2023, IMO (in my opinion). I mean, there are still so many games dropping. So... I mean, not all of them are going to hit. Like, you know, at least Harry Potter felt polished."

According to Lirik, the combat system in Hogwarts Legacy did not punish players. He elaborated:

"Dude, Hogwarts Legacy was... no, the combat in Hogwarts Legacy, actually... wasn't; it didn't make you feel like you were being punished sometimes, for like, pressing some of your spells. They wanted you to combo and do different things with your spells."

"This game, if I do like this move (The streamer does a move with his Lightsaber), during that animation, I would've f**king gotten shot (The streamer gets shot my Meyen Corr). Ahh, f**king a**hole!"
