NieR: Automata
Like NieR: Automata, it places a small band of fighters inside a galaxy-sized conflict and binds action to questions of identity and survival; Survivor’s focus stays on Cal and his crew rather than shifting among android protagonists.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
The story of Cal Kestis continues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a third-person, galaxy-spanning, action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. This narratively driven, single-player title picks up five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows Cal’s increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further into darkness. Pushed to the edges of the galaxy by the Empire, Cal will find himself surrounded by threats new and familiar. As one of the last surviving Jedi Knights, Cal is driven to make a stand during the galaxy’s darkest times — but how far is he willing to go to protect himself, his crew, and the legacy of the Jedi Order?

What it’s about — and how it feels
Five years after Fallen Order, Cal Kestis is still fighting the Empire, but the struggle has become more personal: survival, loyalty to his crew and the Jedi legacy pull him toward difficult choices. The single-player adventure pairs galaxy-spanning exploration with lightsaber combat, giving its escalating conflict room to unfold through both movement and character moments.

More on your wavelength
Three titles that echo something distinctive in this one, with a quick note on the connection.
Bayonetta
Both games make combat a flowing spectacle against outsized foes, but Bayonetta leans into flamboyant, balletic set pieces, while Survivor frames its fights around lightsaber techniques and Cal’s grounded Jedi journey.
Devil May Cry 5
Both pair close-quarters action with an ensemble facing a spreading threat; Devil May Cry 5 switches among three distinct combat styles, while Survivor follows one central hero through a broader, exploration-led adventure.
