Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition

игра не оправдывает свою стоимость ничем, кроме как графикой. геймплей. он очень однообразен, практически с самого начала ты делаешь одно и тоже в бою, ничего нового вплоть до конца игры. если бы не механика парирования, которая, к слову, ублюдочна и невыносима в этой игре, я бы засыпал на файтингах. головоломки для детей до трёх лет, лишь раздражают своим нескончаемым количеством. сложность представляет разве что одна, практически в самом конце игры (или, возможно, она вообще необязательна, я не совсем помню). графоний, музыка и т.д. графоний хорош, сразу видно за что ты отдаёшь 1.2к деревянных, очень приятный и проработанный пиксельарт. только за счёт последнего я смог дойти до конца игры. музыка незапоминающаяся, но и не сказал бы, что какая-то отвратная. сюжет, персонажы. если вам нравится приторно-вылизанный сюжет - вам сюда. после 5 часов игры мне хотелось блевать от этой невообразимой доброты и отсутствия интеллекта у персонажей. апогеем этого скотоублюдского безобразия является другалёчек главных героев. из-за этого нехорошего человека-косоходящего вы будете страдать на протяжении всей игры, ибо весь сюжет строится на том, что у этого паренька свербит в жопе, да дай кому-нибудь помочь. персонажи, в свою очередь, не интересные. два главных персонажа - одинаковые болванчики, которые различаются лишь цветом волос. про Гарольда я уже сказал. ассасин имеет свою полноценную сюжетную линию, однако она такая же приторная, как и остальной сюжет. клоунады вокруг её двух личностей я так и не понял, зачем и для кого было это придумано - непонятно. алхимик и стеклянный парень самые скучные персонажы. особенно последний. если алхимик ещё как-то участвует в сюжете (до определённого момента), то второй говношмыг просто есть, да, у него имеется своя мини-арка, но на этом всё. никакого раскрытия персонажа или ещё чего-то. ну вот он есть и на этом хватит. в заключении скажу, что сами главные герои никак не развиваются по мере сюжета. какими они были в самом начале, такими и остались. не рекомендую.

Quite boring with bad progression and a bad story. Visuals & audio are good though. Would probably not buy this for more than $5-10.

The combat is interesting, the story is pretty good, and I was listening to the soundtrack before I played the game. Thumbs up.

Chrono Trigger for a modern generation.

Some reviews will tell you the story sucks. Some will tell you the parry timing mechanics suck. Or that another aspect of this game sucks, but the rest (and ohhhh the art oohhhhhhh, it's so great ohhh) is good. It is actually much simpler. Only on a superficial level you find anything good about this game. The moment you THINK about anything happening in the game, you will notice how disgustingly bad it is. The most obvious point is the writing. The moment there is any interaction between the characters, you get filled up with 50% cringe and 50% disbelief. Why do the characters act the way they do? Why do the NPCs react the way they do? At every point I kind of understood where the writer tried to go, but through the amateurish execution it just put me off soooooo much. You could have removed 90% of the dialog and interactions and it would improve the game. But to me, the writing was not the worst offender. The combat is actually way worse. The main characters are some two chosen ones, and everyone says "WOW, they are WAYYYY better than the previous generation!". Yeah, really? Because I don't notice. Every other encounter, one person dies in combat. And I don't feel like I did any mistakes. The combat is build around you being group of weak little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Enemies constantly resist your attacks, and even if they don't, you usually do not deal enough damage to defeat them before their action. Why would you design the combat this way? More, your mana recources are extremly limited. This limits gameplay options, as you need mana-based special attacks to counter enemy special attacks. You will use your mana to heal your team alot, but then the enemies deal more damage because you don't counter them, so you heal again. But if you instead use your mana offensively, well, you do not deal enough damage, so you receive damage either way, but now your party members die and the combat gets longer. Either way you play it feels like you are loosing. It fundamentely is not fun to play. What is actually the gameplay here? Good games design: either my encounters test the players ability to manage resources, I give them some money, some mana, some abilites and there you go, reach the boss before you run out! Or I design it like a puzzle game, ressources are tight, but every encouner has a solution that costs your team (almost) nothing. Or, you make it a grindfest, where your struggle alot at the beginning, but as you progress through a dungeon, your numbers go up, trash encounter get easier, and that's how you eventually win. But this game decided to ... do neither of those. Your level ups are extremly powerful, but also extremly rare. Grinding feels bad in this game. The encounters are not designed in a way, that you can negate almost all damage enemies do. They always drain ressources. But at the same time, you do not really have any ressource management. I could write thousand more words about things that irk me in this game, like the suprise attack mechanic on the overworld, the "spellcasting without spellcasting" stuff that is never usefull, but I don't want to right now. I hate everything about the combat, and it felt actively bad to play. The last thing I want to comment on ist the music and the art. The tracks I heard in my short 5 horus of play time, were absolutely nothing special. The art .... yes the game looks good, but also extremely badly directed. There were so many thing moving and happening on the screen in any scene. I do not know what to focus on, everything on the screen is distracting. So no, I don't like the visuals in the game. The art IS goood, but due to the lack of direction I could not enjoy it. I will now start my 5th playthrough of Chrono Trigger, which this game is a homage to. There is jsut no comparision between this turd here, and an actuallly good game.

The art, the story, the exploration, the combat everything is fun highly recommened

Great comfy game, can be played on the sofa, great for couch co-op.

Jeu incroyable, quelques rares moments frustrant (Assassin + Pretre ? Deux fois ? Sérieux ?) mais sinon il est top
