The gameplay is so good and music is fucking ridiculous. Like the devs combined nostalgic tones with modern music and the end result is a freaking masterpiece. I am back in 1998 playing Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger and Star Ocean 2.

I will, when the physical version is released. 😊 Plenty to play in the meantime.
I do love pixel art!
The nostalgia vibes are amazing, takes me back to hs/college time
I’m a pure honest to god zoomer and I had a great time with it as well even without the nostalgia, it’s just a fun little 30-40 hour adventure with no padding that was clearly made with a bunch of heart.
Really my only gripes are small mechanical ones like parties of 3 that anyone can be swapped out at a given moment forced everyone to play a little generalized, everyone but 1 character was a damage dealer/healer with maybe one specific stat higher that the rest but if you’re super in love with the combat flow I can pretty easily imagine that being relatively negligible.
I want to get this game but Im currently playing a different kind of sea of stars right now
I’m millennial and I need to sleep more, drink less and now play this game… in that order
No
I AM!!! You don’t have to yell.😭 /s
>!It’s pretty good, though the levelling system bugs me, feels I’m always picking the wrong option.!<
Trying it now, and I really want to love it, even just like it… but I’m not liking it. 😪
The Messenger got me hyped for this game too, but my feelings aren’t there.
I’ve been loving it so far. Here’s a good documentary with Sabotage (The dev team) https://youtu.be/NvsDBAcKFDw?si=LcaVSCarcS5MGa_2
I plan to eventually, but first I gotta get through Baldurs Gate 3, Starfield, Spiderman 2, and Super Mario RPG remake.
Maybe in 2025 I’ll find the time for sea of stars lol
Sea of stars is SO GOOD
I really, REALLY want to. But i’ve heard the equipment and skills are really shallow. That’s always been my favorite part of games like this.
Loved this game!
Also check out Chained Echoes! Another great nostalgic RPG that was AMAZING! Has a lot of callbacks and Easter eggs to other great RPGs like a very obvious Chrono Trigger one.
Currently playing Chrono Trigger and like it so far, definitely want to play more of these cozy games with pixel art, but I heard Sea of Stars has a lot of bad Translation is that true?
Played it all morning, just got to Brisk…. plan to play more tomorrow! amazing game!
You guys do realize most of these games arent that great and the exact same but you jerk to em cos they look like snes games, right?
Im 37 and these dont appeal to me.
Found the completionists burner.
Will probably pick up tho it sounds fun
No
Is it free? If not, then nope
It’s pretty good. Not amazing or anything, IMO. I think I am almost done with it. Hopefully I can finish it tonight.
I’ve been having an absolute blast playing this game. After playing AC VI all day I needed a game like this to relax to. 10/10
The game makes fun of rpg tropes, WHILE perpetuating those tropes. It’s hilarious!
Literally playing it rn. With this and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, this a great month for nostalgia.
Just started playing it for a few hours. The best comment I can give is “unimpressive” in terms of everything:
* Combat strategy that heavily relies on precise timing — I hate the PONG! mini game when boss had three moon marks.
* Story without rhyme or reason — the dialog was just awkward; but since it’s just the early stage so I hope this would get better.
* Unremarkable music and sound — is there any background music at all ? I really can’t remember; maybe I should lower my standard after spending 100+ hours in Octopath Traveler 2.
* Over simplified equipment & character development — I mean, com’on, we can have different “builds” even in Final Fantasy 2.
* Dungeon and mob design — Am I playing Souls game ? This is definitely not how the old school JRPG way to make a dungeon.
* The “nostalgic tones” is too *fashion* for my generation who grow up with DQ345 and Final Fantasy 1234.
Guess I’d still finish it but I can’t give it any better rating higher than 6/10, for now. Hope I’d change my mind later.
Started playing it last night, enjoying it so far. Music is awesome.
No
Still Busy with Baldur’s Gate 3 at the moment but it’s definitely next on the list for me. I love Secret of Mana.
No. I’ve played pixel games as they were standard. From time to time, I try to get into them, and I tryed this game but can not get into it.
I’m more than half way through the game I think. The story is kind of lacking which for me should be the most important part of games like these. It’s a decent game to be sure but it isn’t something that blows you away like some people here are stating. The music is great and combat is engaging enough. But the story and characters seem to be half baked. I’m definitely enjoying it but it’s not like it’s some masterpiece that you have to play.
am i weird that nostalgia doesn’t really work for me? it’s always just disappointment playing my favourite old games etc, *extremely* glad for the progress gaming technology has made, older style game graphics and mechanics don’t entice me at all
How long is it? Does it have a lot of puzzles? That’s what turned me off from playing CrossCode even tho it looks beautiful pixel art
I gave it an honest shot, really been on the lookout for turn-based RPGs ever since Final Fantasy swore it off and Persona takes 10 years between releases.
Refunded on Steam largely because of the writing and storyline. Watched further and it doesn’t improve. Story is hugely important to me for an RPG, it’s why I keep coming back to FFX. It’s a shame because the art really is beautiful.
So is this like the best year in gaming since 2015?
Caveat: PLAY THE MESSENGER FIRST
I grabbed this on gamepass to play while I waited for Starfield and I’m actually going to push back starting Starfield to finish playing Sea of Stars. I am absolutely LOVING it.
