Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition

I think it's a very charming game. The main two protagonists are kind of "silent protagonist" types. They have some personality, but they're fairly subdued in nature, I'm assuming as a way for the player to fill in the blanks on their own. I've never been a huge fan of this, but it's not a dealbreaker. The soundtrack and world and general aesthetic of the game is really well done. Even the bosses look amazing in bossfights Combat is fun without being either too deep or too shallow. If you're going into this game thinking that you're going to be buffing your group out the ass, debuffing the boss, using status ailments, etc. that's not going to happen. And to be honest, i was actually pretty glad; it was a bit of a break from the typical JRPG "spend the first 30 minutes preparing your party then 5 minutes doing burst damage, then another 30 minutes...." way of turn based combat. The bossfights here will often have a correct way/strategy to tackle them, but if you die, it's not going to be after a 2 hour spell spam session. The game tends to respect your time w.r.t bossfights, which i appreciated, at least on normal difficulty which is the game mode I'm playing. Story-wise, I believe I'm in the beginning of Act 3 now if I'm not mistaken, so about ~75% of the way through I want to say? At the very least, I'm more than halfway through Act 2, so around 60-75% of the way through. Will update my review once I'm finished with the game, but so far the story has been really enjoyable. It definitely had a slow start to it, but I think it was necessary in order to get all the characters in the party established. It's easy to see the story's been well thought out, and so far has been really entertaining. The lore building of the world in Sea of Stars is impeccably done. I like that they give you the option of listening to the stories of the legends from Teaks (side character) if you want and it can help make sense of some conversations (like you'll have an idea beforehand what to expect or what people are talking about in a few rare instances) which really makes you feel like a part of the world. Minigames wise, I'm not a huge fan of them. The fishing one is really bad, and I didn't particularly like Wheels either. But, I stopped trying to 100% every game i played a verrrryyy long time ago (thanks for teaching me that lesson, Yakuza 5), so skipping those minigames and never looking back was not a huge problem to me. One thing I might find incredibly disappointing in this game if it turns out to be true and relevant is a 'True Ending'. I find that having alternate endings is an incredibly cowardly way to end your story. If you want to tell a story, stick to your story. Don't ♥♥♥♥♥ out in the end and say "oh no, actually if you want, here's what really happened!". Either way, if it's too much of a pain in the ass or I need to look at a guide to get the true ending, I'll probably just youtube it, and my rating of this game will go down from a 9/10 to a 7/10. Still worth playing, either way. Update: Yeah, it's one of those trash "you must do these specific sidequests and oh also collect these 60 freaking collectibles that are hidden all over the world before you can see the true ending that we deemed people with lives unworthy of seeing." - 6.5/10 final score. Completely flubbed the way a game should be ended. Instead of locking people out of an actual ending unless they spend more hours on your game doing ♥♥♥♥ they dont like, you should just provide an ending that anyone dropping over 20 hours on your game would find satisfactory.

说实话没什么意思，看了推荐视频买的，玩了才发现是商单

不要玩。 硬要吃的话， 等你到清凉港就知道这游戏的无引导系统加上那个B加尔， 亲手喂了一坨屎给你。

不推荐，这就是23年最佳独立游戏？ 修改评价：仍然不推荐，没吃过石的可以试试。 如果你想玩，请考虑以下问题 1.定价高。对于像素游戏来说 2.战斗无聊。战斗的QTE和破锁机制在刚玩的几个小时还算有点新意，到后面越来越无聊，重复性高；战斗不能跳过，纯坐牢。 3.剧情拖沓还白开水。幼儿园水平叙事 4.技能少。每个角色的技能一只手就能数过来，把手指剁一根都能 5.解密无聊。套路重复 放弃通关了，吃灰去吧

Un piccolo e contenuto JRPG dal cuore grande, pieno di amore per il genere che gli sviluppatori gli hanno riversato dentro. A dispetto di una durata tutto sommata breve per gli standard del genere, e la cosa non mi dispiace affatto, il gioco ci mette un bel po' di ore a ingranare lato trama; quando lo fa, sa regalare momenti assolutamente di livello e una storia ben scritta e con diversi "colpi di scena" che manterranno vivo l'interesse fino al primo epilogo. Il cast di personaggi è ben scritto e funziona bene, eccezion fatta per i due protagonisti, troppo inchiodati nel loro ruolo semplici pedine nelle mani del giocatore, senza mai riuscire davvero a caratterizzarsi o a risultare memorabili. Il sistema di gioco è semplice e si basa sui turni, mescolando sapientemente elementi come parate e attacchi perfetti, con combo e super mosse da dover dosare con minuzia per penetrare le difese nemiche, cercando il più possibile di interrompere a priori le loro azioni più pericolose: funziona bene, ha il difetto di lasciare davvero poche azioni al giocatore. Un avventura infine piacevole che, chicca finale, potrà essere giocata anche interamente in cooperativa. Cheers...a Garl.

Sea of Stars es un juego que me gustó muchísimo. Se siente sumamente fresco y sabe cómo mantenerte atrapado desde el primer momento. Curiosamente, comparte muchísimas mecánicas con Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, especialmente en lo que respecta al sistema de combate, la exploración de islas y la variedad de combinaciones que puedes hacer. ​Apartado Visual y Ritmo: El apartado visual en pixel art se ve espectacular y la jugabilidad es sumamente entretenida. Logra mantener un ritmo constante que no aburre en ningún momento. ​Historia y Personajes: En cuanto a la narrativa, la historia es más o menos normal; se queda un poco en el "quiere y no puede". No significa que sea mala, pero es una trama bastante sencilla de seguir y el juego no ahonda mucho en el trasfondo de los diferentes personajes. ​Conclusión: A pesar de tener una historia simple y personajes con margen de mejora, el juego destaca por su diversión, mecánicas y belleza visual. Lo recomiendo muchísimo para cualquier fan de los JRPGs.

after 12 hours of playing…. i will give you the honest take and lyk that if you like deep characterization and fun combat i think this game will fall flat for you p quickly. it’s visually stunning but that’s about the only outstanding thing about it. the combat starts off strong and once you do it enough times it loses the shine it has and there’s really no deviation.

Me siento un poco mal por dar el pulgar abajo a este juego porque, la verdad, visual y mecánicamente es hermoso. El pixel art es de lo mejor que hay, la música es buenísima y el sistema de combate es bastante divertido. El problema es que, para ser un RPG, la historia está completamente vacía y no tiene ningún chiste. Los personajes son súper planos y la trama avanza sin nada de fuerza ni gracia. Es tristísimo ver un juego que se ve y se juega tan bien, pero que no tiene nada de alma en la escritura. Si solo te importa lo visual y el gameplay, dale una oportunidad. Pero si juegas RPGs buscando una narrativa que te atrape y personajes memorables, te vas a aburrir rapidísimo. Es un cascarón hermoso, pero completamente vacío.
