Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition

Fun, but I hate Garl.

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..

uhhh.... this game's pixel art looks really good. why did i find myself skipping through dialogue and laughing at the bad writing and just not caring, basically from the very start? something is very off on this one, and i also just do not care enough to figure out and articulate what. very strange. it felt like people telling me that avatar airbender was good, and when watching, makes me question my own validity because it was so bad. McAnime, meet McJRPG. like a cheap, shallow take by passionate fans that.. dont... quite.. get it. so, hard to say this because they obviously put a lot of effort into all of this game, but this game... just ISNT good. like there's a haze across the entire game, from the very start, and i cant quite put my finger on it, but it's like the developer didnt quite love the game or thought they could take shortcuts in everything or just ineptitude or something. which obviously isnt entirely fair, but that's kind of how it feels like. like the x-factor is mysteriously absent in *everything*.

É surreal o carinho que os devs tiveram ao fazer esse jogo, cada detalhe e cada ação foi pensada no jogador, fora as semelhanças e easter eggs com o jogo The Messenger. A gente se sente tão querido.

Ich habe das Game lange vor mir her geschoben, und bereue es das ich so lange gewartet habe. Es ist wirklich Klasse! Man bekommt sofort Lufia/Mystic Quest Legends vibes. Tolle Schiberätsel/Greifhaken/Licht und Schatten Mag über die Geschichte nicht spoilern, sie wr nichts wirklich neues hatte aber interessante Ereignisse und ich fühlte mich gut unterhalten. Grafisch ist das hier eines der schönsten Pixel RPG's die ich je gesehen habe. wirklich wunderschöne und flüssige Animationen. Dazu die ganz kurzen Zwischensequenzen im Anime Stil, echt toll! Der Soundtrack ist auch stimmig. Das Hauptspiel hat mich gute 24 Stunden beschäftigt. Hauptspiel Bewertung: Für mich eine 7/10 Anspruch: Einsteiger. --------------------------------------- DLC-Bewertung: Huch was war das denn? Das Hauptspiel genommen und die Regler auf 180 Gedreht! Die Rätsel waren viel Anspruchsvoller als im Hauptgame, dir Geshichte fand ich auch etwas besser. Kämpfe, ja sehr knackig im vergleich zum Hauptgame. Soudtrack hatte auch einige tolle Stücke dabei. Und das beste, alles kostenlos! Andere hätten für diese gut 7-10 Stunden extrainhalt kräftig kassiert, hier bekommt man nach Ende des Haupgames einfach noch was geschenkt, danke! Für mich eine 8/10 Anspruch: Fortgeschrittene

I stopped playing when I learned you have to treasure hunt shells to get the "true ending." One of the dumbest game mechanics you can make for a "true ending" is making people do pointless treasure hunts that don't seem to have any function other than to waste your time. There are 60 of them. You will be required to backtrack to find them all. You might as well make the "true ending" of Dragon Quest games gated behind having to find all the gold medals. Don't waste my time. They named the game wrong, because it's more about a sea of shells. Not stars.

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