I have mixed feelings about this game, so this won't be an entirely positive review . This game is loved by most people who have played it, but I don't think it's that great. It's not a bad game, tho . Sea of Stars is perfect for people who have never played a JRPG , or for those who want one without doing Excel math every turn. The art and soundtrack are undeniably beautiful . You can tell it's a game made with love . Story In this world, solstices sometimes bring about the magical birth of warriors infused with the power of sunlight or moonlight . These are known as the Solstice Warriors . Their purpose is to protect the world from evil , but since they aren't always born, the world isn't always at peace . This time Valere and Zale are born, the blandest and annoying protagonists I have seen in the history of video games . Even a random NPC from a generic village has more personality and charm than the two of them combined. Anyway, Valere and Zale , along with their best friend Garl (imho, the real MC), travel across the world to stop the Fleshmancer , a powerful entity threatening the world. The story itself isn't bad . It's as a prequel to the video game " The Messenger ", and it is fairly entertaining, although the writing is full of immature and superficial moments. Gameplay Sea of Stars features a turn based combat system with mechanics similar to Mario RPG and even Chrono Trigger . At first, it's fun and promising. But as the game progresses , the system does not evolve and you spend 40 hours using the same attacks and combos , which eventually becomes boring. Depending on what kind of player you are , the game can feel very easy or very hard . Fortunately, Sea of Stars has a relic system to balance the adventure and adjust it to your taste without punishing you . Also, exploration plays a crucial role and, small spoiler, it directly affects the plot . The puzzles are really fun, and you also have some minigames like fishing , a quiz contest , or my favorite: Wheels , a 1vs1 strategy game. In addition, Sea of Stars has a free DLC that adds more than 6 extra hours of gameplay . Personally, I think the DLC is much more difficult than the base game and it manages to do the impossible : it makes Valere and Zale even more annoying . Do I recommend it? If you are a hardcore JRPG player, I do not recommend playing Sea of Stars, you will not like it . Play it only if you want to experience the story and admire its wonderful pixel art . There is practically no strategy , the battles are repetitive , and the protagonists are unbearable . On the other hand, if you are a casual player , I think Sea of Stars is a solid and entertaining option (although the story is written in a very childish way). So if you are a player who only wants to spend some time with a JRPG that won't give you a headache , this game is completely for you .

Ive seen alot of "this game is good, but not amazing" "crowd goes mild" type reviews. for me, I think this game actually leans more into the amazing category based on a lot of what it does well, and even its weakest points get much better after the DLC. for me, the game was a blast to play. Just exploring the world and doing puzzles and being in the universe was a treat the whole time, due to its vibe and aesthetic. Graphics and style are the strongest point of the game I would say and 100% one of the reasons to play it. while I wouldnt say graphics matter that much in what makes most games good... here it definitely matters because it captures a feeling (the nostalgia old style rpg feel) and is part of the general joy of just playing the game. I would follow that up by saying the next best part to me was the music (could easily be the best part of the game for some). there are soooo many good tracks in this game. found myself humming quite a few of them in my daily life. third would be exploration and level design. I really enjoyed doing the puzzles in an area to find secrets and little hidden paths. additionally, The rewards were often good and made it feel worth it. All three of these aspects I would say are 10/10 to 9/10 aspects. the weaker side of the game would be combat and story, and the DLC helped with both of these. combat in the main game is pretty enjoyable, but after 20 or so hours it does have some downsides. it doesnt evolve all that much throughout your playthrough and you will be clicking very familiar moves the whole time. the amount of moonerangs ive thrown is too many. that being said, i was never really "bored" with it. and I think combat overall is still a huge step up from some of the turn based RPGs of old. The DLC also gave combat a huge boost in my opinion with tons of new varied moves, some of which are pretty fun to use. It comes at a great time too, because like 8 to 10 more hours after the main story of moonerang might have been too much. I do just want to reiterate that even as one of the weaker points, combat is still a plus side and enjoyable to those who like this style of combat. the weakest part of the game i would say is the story. The main story fulfills its purpose and is serviceable and moves the narrative along. But, I was never floored or shocked. It was never bad by any means. but it wasnt at the same quality of what the rest of the game delivers. However, the DLC also helps a ton with that. it gives some more love to characters that needed some more TLC in the main story. I enjoyed it quite a bit. again, I think the story is still solid and would give it like a 7/10 or 7.5/10 (like an 8 or 8.5 for the DLC). So to me, even the games weakest aspect was pretty good. then a small gripe and the actual weakest part of the game to me. why are there achievements that require multiple controllers LOL. doesn't affect how I rate the game. but man. that is wild.

Pros + Pixel art graphics look great, especially on Steam Deck + Decent level design + Decent soundtrack + Lots of difficulty modifying options Cons - Combat has little to no depth and can get quite repetitive - Story is generic and relies heavily on the "chosen ones save the world" trope - The main protagonists basically have no personality Conclusion Captures old school JRPG nostalgia, but that's about the sum of the game's value. Combat peaks a few hours into the game, and the generic story makes this a fairly forgettable experience. Don't get me wrong, the game's still fun, but there just isn't anything unique enough about Sea of Stars for it to be a standout. For anyone looking for a good pixel graphics JRPG, Chained Echoes is superior in pretty much every single way. 6.5/10

it's such a crime that this game isn't rated overwhelmingly positive, this game was worth every cent, can't wait for the DLC to release

It gets the narrowest of thumbs ups from me. It is great visually and is obviously loving made and is a quality product. But when playing it I am mostly just meh about it. I find myself looking for a place to save so I can stop playing after like 45 minutes or so. I look forward to finishing it so I can move on to something else. It is weirdly less than a sum of its parts. I want to like it more than I do.
