Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition

Compre este juego por gente que decia que era similar a Chrono triger. Me arrepiento totalmente de darle una oportunidad y no poder regresarlo, aburrido, lineal, personajes planos que no generan ningun interes. El principio es casi infumable que no engancha.

Regrettably, this game simply does not live up to the hype that led me to purchase it. Lots of effort and love went into the visual design of the game, but that's about it. I can't give it more than 6.5/10. Perhaps the game would have been more enjoyable if played with local co-op, but many of the fundamental flaws would remain. The music is good, but not memorable. The writing is simply bad. I cannot maintain my suspension of disbelief because the story is constantly introducing new, totally unrelated ideas without any unifying threads to tie them all together. Here's a simple example: "Songster Magic," which is used by a late-game character. To my recollection, it is only mentioned once in the story. It has no ties to the rest of the world and is seemingly only put in place because the designers wanted singing magic. This, plus the gods that shall not be named, the rules that powerful beings abide by that shall not be explained, the [spoiler]ascension of the main characters into an immortal god/goddess[/spoiler]...I could keep going on, but I think I've made my point. And the "true ending"...I'm not sure what to say, except that it was tremendously underwhelming and honestly quite nonsensical. The characters don't feel like they're real people with struggles. They all have one-dimensional personalities that makes it impossible to connect with any of them. The DLC was the only part of the story that showed a hint of character development. The world doesn't feel like a world teeming with people affected by the decisions and actions of the main characters. Instead, it feels like a patchwork of themed levels strung together on a world map so you can teleport from one set of levels to another. I did not find the exploration and puzzles to be particularly interesting. And the combat...unfortunately, the combat is interesting for just the first few hours. I played on the hard difficulty (no items in combat, no healing at rest points, etc.) and learned pretty quickly that you are not rewarded for taking risks. Your goal is to simply play defensively and keep your battle resources (MP & Combo Points) ready for when you are forced to perform a particular set of skills to stop your enemy from casting a powerful skill. It's thus more passive management than engaging combat. There are "minigames" when performing actions, which is an improvement over simply selecting skills, but it doesn't compensate for the root issue. I don't know why I finished this game. I certainly did not enjoy how the true ending was locked behind replaying a portion of the game and chasing down collectibles. I'm not a completionist and did not enjoy completing the story. I read the rant and the easter egg behind the fourth flimsy wall - to the developers: I'm sorry. It seems that a lot of energy and passion was spent creating this game, but this game just does not hold a light to ones like "CrossCode" and "Ori and the Will of the Wisps."

I was kind of wary about this game because most reviews and comments I've heard talk about repetitive combat and a lack of strategy options around it, and, of course, the endless comparisons with the classics. I experienced none of that. While Sea of Stars has obvious influences from other more well-known RPGs, it's a really solid game on its own, and it's mechanics are deep and fun enough. The characters, world-building and story are quite compelling too. And the artstyle, of course, is amazing.

Beautiful game, wonderful soundtrack but the story is really weak, the cast of characters unappealing, the combat repetitive. I really tought it could be the next Chrono Trigger :(

looks good, music good. Thats about it. Combat sucks, story sucks.

No suelo escribir reseñas, pero Sea of Stars se la merece. Lo empecé cuando salió y lo dejé aparcado durante unos 3 años. Hace poco decidí retomarlo y, aunque estaba convencido de que lo había dejado casi al final, resulta que aún me quedaba muchísimo contenido por descubrir (y eso sin contar el New Game+, porque no soy de rejugar títulos). El apartado visual es precioso, la historia engancha y la jugabilidad es una pasada. Sinceramente, por el precio que tiene y todo lo que ofrece, es un juego que recomiendo totalmente.

This is truly a modernized classic RPG. I'm really enjoying it so far and can't wait to continue playing it! The puzzles are cute and interesting, and feel reminiscent of games from the early 2000s but still leveraging modern design philosophy and technology.

Pra que Expedition 33 se tenho Sea of Stars?

Beautiful game Beautiful soundtrack Beautiful story theres nothing else to say
