Is the game free roam?

I'm thinking of buying it, but I am not a big fan of super linear games, which it looks like this is. Just wondering if you can free roam or do you constantly have to keep moving forward like Force Unleashed and similar games.

From what I can tell so far, is that you can travel back to previous destinations and complete them. As I was about to jump to another world. I had noticed the world I was about to leave was only 60% explored. I think You can free roam :)

It's effectively Star Wars Dark Souls, mixed with elements from Tomb Raider, Dark Siders, and Mario.

You will do lots of back tracking and running all over the map. Some areas force you to take alternative back paths as the way you came in is one sided. Like jumping down from a super high cliff.

It's semi linear.

Not really no. I also wouldn't say it's like dark souls because I've played dark souls, and I regret to inform you that this is not an RPG.

Right... It's not an RPG, so it can't possibly be mechanically similar to another game it practically took all the basic mechanics from.

Good logic there.

I'm glad you agree with me.

Yeah, a lot of people are saying it's Sekiro like in it's mechanics.

It's broken up into semi-open areas that are mostly linear but have branching paths, which you usually can't get to at first, but can after you come back later after getting new unlocks.

It's nothing new in that regard.

You can back-track to previous worlds / levels, but the levels aren't your typical "Open-World" though.

Think of it like levels in Dark Souls or Sekiro with Tomb-Raider / Uncharted Bits thrown in. You have platforming and combat throughout each world.
