Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln

While it's not the best the series has been – many could argue Jedi Knight II or Jedi Outcast will perpetually battle for that title – Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is still a fun and lengthy trek across the (non-canon) Star Wars universe. The multiplayer doesn't live up to its former glories, but the sprawling and semi non-linear campaign certainly makes up for it with its lightning-fast lightsaber combat and that silly quintessentially silly approach to Star Wars that was still rife in the early 2000s. Don't expect Jedi: Fallen Order, but do expect a time capsule of an action-adventure.

Full Review

Expansive:

Whether you’re a retro enthusiast or a curious historian, this should absolutely be in your library somewhere, Switch or otherwise. Truly, Jedi Academy is one of the all-time great Star Wars titles and this port helps reaffirm that.

Push Square: 8 / 10 by Graham Banas

Despite the relative lack of polish, wildly swinging lightsabers at one another is a blast. The multiplayer is just as fun as you it being.
