The title resembles its predecessor in both areas, which in turn helps give this sequel that distinctive Star Wars cinematic feel. Those who’ve played the prior BioWare title should feel at home with KOTOR II as soon as the sweeping opening credits begin since Obsidian clearly went with the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset when it came to the graphics and narrative presentation. I was quite impressed with the Switch port of the first Knights of the Old Republic, so I was eager to dive into the Obsidian-developed sequel. Players take on the role of this Exile as they soon find themselves neck-deep in a fight that spans numerous worlds and could very well affect the fates of every living creature in the known universe.
A former Jedi, a lone exile who lost their connection to the Force after following Revan and Malak in the Mandalorian Wars, wakes to a dangerously deteriorating situation on a mining colony in the Outer Rim. The last of the Jedi have gone into hiding due to a mysterious new threat that shows no qualms about killing entire planets to get at them, while the Republic is stretched far too thin and struggling to maintain even a semblance of order in a galaxy far, far away. The Sith Lords takes place only a few years after the events of the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which have become known as the Jedi Civil War. However, this initial base version of the RPG released on Nintendo Switch is more like a whisper fading into the emptiness of space rather than the reverberating roar it could so easily have been. Like the echoes often discussed in its plot, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords leaves an impression. Echoes are curious things: subtle, tiny whispers reverberating throughout the edges yet insistently powerful at the right frequency.
