Without doubt, the best Star Wars game ever made.

if the game would work and not soft lock you 10 hours in it would be great.

I can see why everyone enjoyed this back when it was new. For people who got this for the first time, you might want to force limit the fps. This game doesn't like high frame rate and bugs your controls after every battle until a limit is set. Sometimes after playing it for a while the dialog will skip, this is a memory leak, quitting and launching the game tends to fix it.

as much as I'd like to suggest it, it is notably worse than the first game in most ways. Story is cool in concept but incredibly lacking in polish, the combat balancing completely breaks even faster than the first game, the party roster is a lot less likable overall, and the planets are FAR worse in content.

Even playing in 2025, it's an amazing game.

Solid game that holds up pretty well. Fun game for Star Wars fans and TTRPG players

I love the series, but I find the bugs quite frustrating.

story is a convoluted mess

still some bugs present

combat system feels worse than in KOTOR

i have wasted my time, one of those sequels worse than original

Just like the first game, KOTOR II is clunky and outdated in some regards (get mods like Restored Content mod), but is absolutely worth playing because of its terrific story, character development, and atmosphere.

Its tone is noticeably different from the first game--KOTOR I has a much more optimistic and traditional plot, while TSL has a darker, more introspective story. Many characters are disillusioned with both the Jedi and Sith, seeing them as two sides to the same coin. There's a lot to unpack in the different characters' feelings towards both factions, exploring their philosophies and motivations was fascinating and offered a more complex narrative than what I'm used to in Star Wars games. The tone of KOTOR I really encourages a light side play style (for me), whereas KOTOR II's darker, morally ambiguous narrative blurs the line, which adds new perspective to the decision-making and role-playing for me.

If you enjoyed the first game, TSL is definitely worth playing.
