Surely he's just too flipping powerful for his age
He's 17 years old in tfu I'm pretty sure so if he reached his peak he would've been ridiculous (personally I think they made him way too strong)
But that sort of potential is for skywalkers lol
So how powerful would he have become?
He's been training for about as long as RotS Anakin (right?), but presumably doesn't have the same potential. You'd expect him to be weaker than Anakin, and I do think he's inferior in some areas such as lightsaber combat and probably Force valor. It's possible that he simply focused on different Force abilities from Anakin, so he can lift heavier objects but might not have the augmentation to break Dooku's saber defenses.
Even then, he would probably beat Anakin in a fight, which is weird. I suppose the dark side makes you stronger faster. Vader also probably drove his apprentice far more ruthlessly, and with a greater emphasis on combat, while the Jedi training curriculum likely dedicates lots of time to indoctrination - err, philosophical conditioning. They may even have actively tried to restrain Anakin's growth (as he suspected) to prevent his power from too quickly outstripping his maturity. Plus, potential and prodigiousness aren't perfectly correlated.
He obviously had the potential to surpass Vader. He probably would've surpassed Palpatine too, given that most Force users peak in their 40s or so.

Well I mean he already had an extraordinary potential, not Skywalker level, but really high nonetheless, and he spent his entire life training intensely under Darth Vader.

The writers of the game wanted him to be a representation of Luke if he had been raised by Vader rather then on Tatooine. So I'd say around Luke level.
