В цей раз відійшовши від фільмового таймлайну на тисячі років в минуле, Obsidian Entertainment вирішили показати "А що як", і у них в черговий раз вийшло шедеврально. Тоді ще уміли робити ігри. Кожен з персонажів має свою унікальну історію, на яку ви особисто можете вплинути і взаємодіяти, та і персонажі у цій грі - це її головна фішка. В додачу, пропрацьовані і довгі сюжетні лінії, які переплітаються одна з одною, створюючи павутину сюжету, складають сильний фундамент гри. Я заздрю тим хто пройде це вперше, бо це без слів - шедевр.

A classic. Even taking off the rose-tinted glasses, this game still has a lot to offer, and I come back to it for another full playthrough every couple years. But fair warning, in classic Obsidian fashion, it was released unfinished, and like KotOR I, it was already buggy to begin with. So I recommend saving often (and alternating between two to three save slots every couple hours), and also using The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM). As many reviews note, that mod, created by dedicated fans, patches a lot of holes, both in the plot and character arcs, and also in the actual gameplay itself. But even it is not perfect.

This game greatly improves on KotOR I's solid mechanical foundation, which loosely adapted 3rd Edition D&D RPG mechanics for its combat and character progression. Weapon and armor upgrades have been overhauled into a crafting system, which offers a fair few avenues to optimize your chosen build. The companion influence system is another welcome innovation which deserves to be truly iterated upon. And the story and characters are much more complex and not what you'd expect from a Star Wars game -- although it does take a couple playthroughs to fully understand, in my experience. Fair warning, the first 10 hours can be pretty damn dull --it doesn't bother me much, but it's a common point of criticism.

Bottom line, you get what you put into this game. It's a great ride, and I love growing my team from humble beginnings into army-killing demigods, all the while enjoying some pretty juicy roleplay and introspecting on the story's themes and questions. But between the practically necessary mod, the slow opening, and at times unintuitive RPG mechanics, it's not nearly a perfect game. Easily worth $10 and 20 hours to make up your own mind, I'd say.

May the Force be with you, and remember to save often and in multiple slots!

did I ever tell you the story of the lesbian space witches?

Kotor 1 is amazing, but this one...
Its good, but i dont care about the companions i have, cant remember there names, i remember every companion in kotor 1.
Also whats the story, i never understood what i meant to be doing, the story in kotor 1 was clean and simple, find starforge and destroy it and beat malak.
I geniunely have no idea what kotor 2 is about, im trying to find myself and then i fight some old lady whos name ive forgot.
Fine game, but nothing compared to the first.

not as good as KOTOR 1. Super buggy, but it's still fun

One of the best games I have ever played. Great storyline and voice acting, really nice world building, depth of narration, diving into the lore of the Star Wars universe. There are some bugs, but nothing serious.

The first Knights of the Old Republic is still superior in my opinion, but that may just be nostalgia from playing it for the first time years ago. This game is absolutely fantastic in every way. Also, loving the dark story!

Amazing game that everyone needs to play. If you are a fan of rpgs or star wars you need to check this out. The ending falls a little flat but the Journey is one that is worth it.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite game on the Citadel.

Best stories out there with the one of the best feelings of playing like a Jedi would.
