Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
No, you’re completely right, the numbering of the LucasArts Star Wars game makes about as much sense as Activision’s for Call Of Duty. Jedi Knight II: Outcast is indeed the sequel to Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, which absolutely had Jedi Knight: Mysteries Of Sith release between the two. Fortunately, you could pick up any one of those games and still have a completely marvelous time.
So why are we highlighting this one? LIGHTSABERS. To be fair, all of the previous Jedi Knight games made the fizzy wands feel awesome, but when Raven took over development duties, it became next level. It also let players mix up Dark and Light Force powers, rather than having to opt into one side or the other. But it’s the lightsaber combat that everyone remembers the best. If you want to play it today, make sure to load up on fan-made mods that run it smoothly on your fancy PC.
