STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R

Polecam. Moja końcowa ocena 8,5. Albo raczej 850000000/1000000000 żeby bardziej pasowano do part 2 gry :)

Dreck.

Perfect from start to finish, if you love experimenting and crafting in your game this game is incredibly addictive with its IC system. Story is good too. 9/10

Runs super smooth, amazing remake of the OG on PS1, and the story is fantastic and is a great addition to the timeline lore. highly recommend to those who are late to the Star Ocean franchise. also, this game runs super smooth on Steam Deck OLED, i play it on the go all the time on my commute to work.

love it so far :) (14 hours in)

Story is meh but the art style and gameplay made up for it. It was fun.

Muy buen RPG que equilibra lo clásico con lo moderno.

"I've got a Ocean you can Star in." Star Ocean The Second Story R. This was my first playthrough of this game. My original introduction to Star Ocean with "Til the End of Time" on PS2. The production, the music, the combat still sticks with me to this day. So I gave Second Story a shot because the art mixed with the Pixel Art is right up my alley! I played as Claude. He's likeable as a protagonist, I assume Rena is too. but my PoV is going to be through Claude only. You get to choose who to play as between the two at the beginning. He's the Melee/Tank archetype and she is the Healer/Caster archetype. Story wise, it's typical SO fashion of being on underdeveloped planet, things happen and so on. This story in particular does have some fascinating things happen that will make you do a double take. You can recruit up to 8 characters per playthrough and I think there's a total of 10 or so that pare playable? So there's reasons to replay the game through NG+ to experience different team setups and characters. Each character has their own spells/abilities that can make them feel unique to other characters and you can have up to 4 in combat at one time which was nice. The AI isn't very smart but you can dominate for the team and have them basically support you if you wish. Plenty of difficulty sliders to get a feel for what you can handle. There's a ton of different ways you can kit out each character and there is right and wrong ways of doing it but the customization of it all is neat, especially for a game like this! Deep crafting abilities allow you to make some really interesting choices with gearing, specifically in the late endgame. You will need to grind/farm late game areas to get the best gear to push those end game progression loops. This is outside of the main story of course. You can play the Main Story without having to min max, this is specific to just the very late endgame activities. Character models look fantastic and I really liked the touch of having characters pop up on the screen when talking. Allowed for a more immersive experience. Shoutout to Celine! The art in general was top notch and I'm really impressed with it all. Solid RPG and I'm happy to have played it. Here's to hoping they continue making for Remakes!
