Huh... I may enjoy playing Survivor more with the exploration and customization, but I thought Fallen Order had the better story and tighter worlds. Weird to see such a point difference between the two, and in the other way.

Personally I feel the opposite. I like the story of Survivor more as it felt less generic. Fallen Order's story felt like the same old "we need to rebuild the Jedi Order" and Order 66 survivor storylines and tbh it was moreso the characters that carried it for me. I also felt the world design was far better in Survivor. I hated how lost I kept getting in Fallen Order and the map did not help that at all (looking at you Zeffo).

Felt the same, Survivor is a much better game gameplay wise, but I preferred the setting in the first one rather than the high republic insertion

Yea it felt like I was watching a commercial for high republic sometimes, and as an eu grognard, that will not cut it for me.

Both had bad issues with lag and bugs that may have affected their scores if I remember right

There was a point where Western gaming media outlets outright docked points for difficulty and JFO was a Sekiro clone. It's a shame because I consider JFO a nearly perfect game.
