Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is the third part of Raven Software's series of first person shootouts set in the world of Star Wars. The player once again takes on the role of Kyle Qatar. This time, the Jedi Knight has to face the mighty Dark Jedi, who is working on power limiting technology in the Galaxy.
Star Wars Jedi Outcast: Jedi Knight II is the third chapter in the adventures of the almost-Jedi freelancer Kyle Katarn. Several years have passed since Kyle avenged the death of his father and saved the Valley of the Jedi from the invasion of Dark Jedi led by Jerec. Terrified by the power of the dark side, as he nearly fell into its clutches, Kyle entrust his Lightsaber to Luke Skywalker, vowing to never use it again. However, once the future of the Galaxy is threatened by a new danger, he must regain his connection to the Force and stand firm against the evil one more time.
The aforementioned danger is a powerful Dark Jedi who desires to create a device that could infuse anyone with Jedi powers. In this FPS, the player assumes the role of Kyle Katarn and leads him through famous places featured in the movies as well as some completely new locations. As Katarn, you have several unique weapons and incredible Jedi powers at your disposal. In comparison to Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Lightsaber combat was significantly enhanced and features new offensive and defensive moves.
- Various Jedi powers, such as Jump, Push, Jedi Mind Trick, and others.
- Engage in direct combat or stealth operations, depending on the situation.
- New locations known from the Star Wars movies: Sky City, Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Nar Shadda, smuggler base on the moon, as well as other, previously unknown places.
- Two multiplayer modes: Jedi training and team match.
- Advanced Quake III engine.

NintendoWorldReport: 6 / 10 by Peter Spezia
If players want to discover what Star Wars games used to be like before the arrival of November's Jedi: Fallen Order, this is a reasonable point of comparison. After all, 2002 seems like a long time ago when it comes to cinematic action-adventure game design. Sunshine, Metroid Prime, and Wind Waker all hold up as game experiences from this era. Jedi Outcast is far, far away from doing so.
PlayStation Galaxy: 9 / 10 by Lexuzze Tablante
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is a trip down the memory lane. It’s the greatest Star Wars game of all time next to Star Wars Battlefront II (the 2005 version, not 2017). With an amazing story, memorable combat experiences, and the fantastic lightsaber action, Jedi Outcast’s flaws become insignificant next to the power of the Force.
GameSkinny: 5 / 10 by Jonathan Moore
Despite a good story and solid lightsaber combat, Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast ultimately succumbs to the dark side.
