While I generally agree with what you're saying. Jedi Fallen Order has several hallmarks of the soulslike genre. Meditation resets enemies. You collect "souls" under a different name. The difficulty isn't really up to scratch for a soulslike, mind you, but IMO it definitely falls into that genre.
It's a good game. If you're gonna copy, do it well and they did. Probably the best SW games in a long time and the combat system works really well with it. But yeah it's nicked entirely haha.
Did you ever play Force Unleashed or the KOTOR games? I like the idea behind the new Jedi games, but they really do not give me that Star Wars vibe like FU or KOTOR did. Force unleashed made me feel like a force user who we normally only hear about lore wise (Revan for sure, maybe lore accurate Anakin/Vader) but the KOTOR games were SOAKED in Star Wars vibes.
I’m only asking because the new Jedi games just felt mediocre (to me!) and uninspired.
Yeah both those games are better than anything recent, still amazed we haven’t gotten a proper remake of KOTOR yet tbh. Easily one of the best Star Wars stories in any medium and that whole era could be its own movie saga.
