The Force Unleashed II
Shorter, prettier, hollow. The powers feel better and the campaign ends almost as soon as it starts, on a cliffhanger for a sequel that never came. The first game's problems without the first game's ambition.

Skip The Force Unleashed II unless you finished the first game and need the rest of Starkiller's story. The campaign is short enough that critics singled out its length, and it ends on a cliffhanger that a third game was meant to resolve; LucasArts closed first. Reviews landed at 59 on PC and in the low 60s on PS3 and Xbox 360, and Steam users rate it 63 percent positive.
What it does better than the first game is feel: dual sabers and sharper Force powers. On PC it is capped at 30 frames per second, and PCGamingWiki's cap fix unlocks more at the cost of physics bugs. Some setups crash at launch with a 59Hz refresh rate or a second monitor, and PCGamingWiki has fixes for both. The Endor bonus mission never came to PC. Valve does not support it on Steam Deck, but ProtonDB players report it runs (Gold).
If you do want it, both stores list it at $19.99 and discount it often, so buy it on sale.
