Cleaning up the world before the final dungeon. And I gotta say, this is an all-timer for me. Right up there with the 90's glory days of this style.

Just finished this game, and it really is phenomenal.

Sea of Stars looks like what I wish a lot of that "HD-2D" aesthetic looked more like.

Awesome review! I knew I’d enjoy Sea of Stars going in, but at some point in my playthrough I realized that I absolutely love this game. You can tell there was so much heart put into Sea of Stars and that soundtrack is SO good. I highly recommend to anyone on the fence. I had such an amazing experience that I decided to try Sabotage’s previous game, The Messenger afterwards (which is also a lot of fun).

I’m almost done with the game and already want a sequel. It’s rare to find a video game that’s designed with the sole purpose of just wanting the player to have fun and experience excellent visuals and music along the way. It reminds us of why we started playing video games without reminding us of the growing pains associated with early gaming mechanics. A true gem.

Love this game! Great review. I hope Blood learned the proper Sunball timing eventually lol.

Love the game so far. 1 thing I think they should have done is scatter more secret chests. One of the most rewarding thing that I remember in games like Chrono Trigger was to walk behind a wall only to reveal a secret passage with a treasure. The game makes sure that you are not missing any treasures as they contain items you can't really afford to skip. But I wish there would be those occasionnal secret chests that just are good enough for you to be happy you found them.

I already completed this master piece!!!

This years is one of the best of recent times, and this game is among the great ones!!!

Until this day, Sea of Star is my GoTY, and I loved Mk1, SF6, RE4, Zelda TotK, Metroid Prime, such amazing games, but this one, bring me the chills!!!

What a great time to be a player!!! Great Review Guys!!

I like that this game is getting even more recognition!

In a year full of amazing AAA games, I think I can safely say Sea of Stars is my GOTY. Such an incredible experience, and that soundtrack goes so hard. I platinumed the game a few days ago and it was totally worth it for that true ending, and the bonus secret at the very end.

Im playing through this right now, and LOVING it.

Took me about 30 hrs to beat and 50 hrs to platinum without using a guide, so it's not a huge commitment compared to most RPGs. While I quite liked it, I found I liked it even more as a companion to Chained Echoes, both for their similarities and their differences. Sea of Stars is mostly lighthearted, with surprisingly friendly characters (and enemies), and pretty simple to learn and play, whereas Chained Echoes is a bit darker with more characters and systems to learn (although not that much more). I highly recommend both. They both managed to take good design lessons from Chrono Trigger and experiment with new mechanics and are in my top 5 games over the last year.

This is an excellent rpg and definitely one of the best that lives up to when the classic rpg's came out way back when. I am so hoping that this level of depth to continue on and more of the like get released in the future.

This game is fantastic. Got the plat, and already want to play it again.

[PhoTC]

27 hours to beat, 35 for the full 1k completion (because I didn't let any stone go unturned during the first playthrough, so I didn't have to backtrack much, mostly for Wheels). Enjoyed every damn bit.

[TheGameGrinder]

Sea of Stars was amazing! I'm glad to have had the chance to play this gem. After so many years, finally something close to the prestige of Chrono Trigger. I'm also so glad I was able to be a Kickstarter backer for it.

[jorgeramos]

Glad you reviewed it allies! Loving this game so far

[ubersoldat]

The art and animations look so good. I can't wait to dig into the soundtrack

[BOTCHED]

Great review Blood, been enjoying this game quite a bit.

[rossedwardmiller]

Everyone is hyped on bg3’s incredible depth and variety. But I am not a d&d guy, I’m a jrpg guy. I can’t wait to play this.
