Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition

Beautiful pixel art and animations. That's it. The environments are really wonderful but everything else is so frustrating and tedious. There is constant climbing, tightrope walking, jumping, and sidling along walls. Sometimes the scenes are so dark I can't see where I'm supposed to go. Very annoying. The puzzles are not engaging, everything seems like a chore. The world has backtracking but it doesn't feel good to explore, see points above. The leveling system feels tacked on and not meaningful to add stats. I've started avoiding combat encounters because they take so long and get stale after a while. The story is bloated and lacks character and is not interesting. I think I'm about half done with the story, but I really don't care to finish the game.

I wanted to like this game but it's kinda boring. It has a fantastic art style, but the combat is very basic, and from the research I did the combat doesn't really change very much until you get the 4th character which then is just a case of delaying enemies turns. Also I hate to jump on a hate train but I never thought I would find a single character so annoying in all of my life in a video game, Garl inserts himself into EVERY situation whether he belongs there or not. It's not cute, it's annoying.. If you want to know what people are talking about as spoiler free as I can. The main characters are taught in the arts of whatever skills they have, you're told to go and meet somebody to further your craft, and the character previously mentioned will insert himself into the trial and almost get to the point of demanding to someone who's considered a higher "spirit" lets say that he belongs there.. He really doesn't, he's had no training, he does nothing but talk about food and literally creates situations that could potentially be gritty into something positive and SOMEHOW about him. The game is boring, and all of a sudden you have a situation where you could change that boredum to a potentially crazy scene, to have this Garl jump in and say "Everyone will forgive everything you did, don't worry if you killed people, as long as we all have a big meal we can all smile and be happy" It's so crap

Very very very very poor combat system

I 100% this game on Gamepass, bought it here to 100% it again

it's good, the DLC is good, buy this

Terrible game. Even on the the easiest setting it is impossible to defeat the first major boss.

My gambling addict friend said if I post a review on Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition and it gets 350 likes and 150 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer, some vodka, and bottle of wine.. So I'm just gonna leave this here..
