Sea of Stars
A break today from Japan posts to talk about one of the finest games I've played in a while.Sea of Stars looks like a Super Nintendo game. It does nothing revolutionary. Yet it is so well put-together and so charming that it's irresistible.
Like I said, it's nothing revolutionary as an RPG. A few kids who want to save the world stuff. It's so well-written, though, and the music is excellent, and the graphics grow on you, and the combat mechanics are interesting, and there are all kinds of little surprises that are downright delightful.
It's also a game that doesn't get in its own way. It's never too obtuse, or too complicated. You probably won't need a strategy guide to find your way through. You just get to play and enjoy yourself, and it's incredibly refreshing.
This is my favorite RPG in many years.
It's on everything, too. Gamepass. PS5. Switch (which would be perfect). Steam (also perfect). I'm playing it via Gamepass on Series X, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
