@@koontzsamaI don’t know about that. Young kids like stuff like Minecraft, Fortnite, Five Nights at Freddy’s, those games aren’t particularly “good” looking.
@@koontzsamayeah idk. There’s a reason why Windwaker and Okami haven’t aged a day when nearly every other game from that generation look worse every year. Stylized graphics hold up better.
It’s a game created by a company from the province where I live, the province of Quebec! I’m so proud that they made the achievement of selling 100 000 copies! From a Canadian-French video game compagny, it’s a great achievement! Believe me
I absolutely adore the Mario and Luigi games for their timing-based combat. I’m loving the combat in Sea of Stars because it feels like the Mario and Luigi games in a way
I am old and played the JRPGs in the 90s on the SNES... This game is hitting all of the right nostalgia notes for me. Also I love how they made the maps fun to explore, and the little puzzles. This and Chained Echoes are top games of the year for me personally. So fun. Also I know it sounds weird but I like how these indy RPGs have toned back the Anime art style and went with a little more Western art style (I get their are anime elements in the cut scenes)... but it is just nice to not have a copy and paste JRPG. You can really feel when a studio puts passion into their work, and a game like this deserves to be bought at full price imo.
I enjoyed the devs previous game and was happy when they got the original Chrono Trigger music composer to work on this game. Going to pick this up on steam once I get back from work.
I played the demo a few months back on Switch, and I was hooked then. So if course, I had to buy it when the full version came out. It's very impressively made. I love it.
Soooo, welcome back to another episooooode. Today I'm talking about Sea of Stars. I love the soundtrack. The game reminds me of the SNES era rpgs. Back then I used to go to the mall, and they had these stores...
Glad it turned out well! I'm gonna wait for the physical Switch version. Looking forward to the soundtrack because the composer of Chrono Trigger soundtrack has a bunch of music on Sea of Stars.
Objectivity is out the window right there with this video. If you look at the art you can clearly see who is the moon and who is the sun. What a dufus.
I love your honest review, dude! Everything you said is spot on. I personally never bought into the internet buzz....because I was already all in 3+ years ago, back when this was still a Kickstarter campaign! I was immediately sold by the 24-bit graphics, the beautiful lighting, and definitely the interactive combat system! I was so happy the day finally came when this mere proposal became a reality! I consider this my baby, even though it's just my name that will appear on a gravestone within the game, for being a super backer. Sabotage has been beyond amazing, keeping us up to date every single day through Discord and KS emails. This is why I support small, promising devs like these fine folks from Quebec!
The Super Nintendo RPGs are the best. My favorite was the Final Fantasy Series, Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger. And I cannot forget about Secret of Mana. Looking at this game takes me back. Thanks for the review!
Too bad it's going to be released by im8bit. So you better develop some patience skills because if they do this as they do every other release they do, it's going to take them 1 year to ship. Not even kidding
Rgt85 what are you think about more arcade 1up coming up and they are the same but XL and other's new? How many arcade we are going to have on the house?
Really enjoyed the demo. I'm itching to play the full game but that would be disrespectful to my backlog. More than likely going to wait until next year for the physical.
Good idea, my backlog is ridiculous as well not including my other hobbies and responsibilities awesome times to live in but man we have so much stuff we can get into, good luck
Also also, "rpg game"? You know the "g" in "rpg" stands for game right? I swear, more and more RUclipsrs are making themselves look less intelligent these days.
the mrs. and I checked it out on game pass.... definitely sold on this one! struggled a little bit with a boss early on ... yeah THAT same boss, but once I got past that it was smooth sailing! the battle system definitely has some interesting stuff going on, too. I did find lots of little sly nods to the likes of Chrono Trigger which I thought was cute, I mean paying homage to the OG! around four hours in and enjoying it immensely going to have to hop back on later and play it some more!
literally how lol the terrible lock system is literally telling you exactly what to do each turn since only one ability can break multiple of any given element
We played the demo the other day on PS4 and... it didn't do a lot for me, and my wife thought it was "boring." Did not get the go-ahead from the CFO to purchase it.
Cool thank you for the awesome review! I was looking everywhere to pick up a copy but just realised it's not been released here yet. Have to wait a few more weeks but I'm definitely going to play :) I love those pixel based video games, RIP to the old pokemon :D
It seems like every review has something amazing to say about this game. It was my most anticipated game of this year for me, I'm glad a lot of people like the game, however I'm gonna be honest, i do like the game, it is good but not great. Im 30 hours in and already have quite a few gripes with the game. First being lack of exploration, you go from one dungeon to the next and then to the next, i need a bit of break and do other stuff and explore. however there isn't really much to explore or do other things. Avoiding enemies can be tricky and once you're in battle theres no escaping. Also the enemies only drop loot that is food ingredients for recipes that are only for healing hp/mp which isn't much of an incentive, would of liked it if they dropped rare weapons, armour or item for crafting, which is another thing, no crafting or making unique weapons or armour, the weapons are very basics. They introduced fishing which I've liked in previous jrpgs however in this its really basic, the fish you get just turns into food ingredients. Im hoping i enjoy the game more at some point. I do have to remember that this is an indie game and no a big bugdet production, I still prefer Chained Echoes, now that was an amazing indie rpg.
I feel the exact same way. I'm still enjoying it, but it is clearly a step below Chained Echoes. Glad I'm not the only one who is not in love with the game.
@@adamjohnston2145 Same, I'm glad I'm not the only one either, was getting to a point if I said anything negative, I'd get crucified. Its interesting how when Chained Echoes released, I never heard much hype about it.
This would be a great Christmas gift for my brother. I will wait for the physical copy release but man this game looks dope. I am planning on picking up a copy for myself.
Gonna download the demo after work, looks very much like something I want to play as an oldschool FF fan. Lots of people in the FF community have been recommending it to me too
The game looks great, though I would be remiss to not point out that some of the things about it that you are praising in the video I first experienced with Super Mario RPG. For instance the active time battle stuff with timing button presses as well as having platforming in an RPG that complements the gameplay. I believe you said you never played it, right? The remaster will be here soon so you need to get on that.
I’m 41 and having a blast with this nostalgia ridden gem from the past. Excellent play experience. It’s a perfect game for my 7 yr old girl to get behind rPGs. She’s having so much fun with the music, cute characters and colorful world. Kudos to the developers. Will be buying a physical copy to support them.
What threw me was that I started playing the demo on Switch then changed the Xbox for the full version. I was surprised that the demo starts you after the prologue. I was thinking I was playing a different game on Xbox until I got past the prologue.
I felt almost every battle was perfectly challenging and nothing was too hard. Probably because they don't expect you to grind your level to make it easy.
Hardware wise if you didn’t want to compromise the game’s graphics in anyway you would need at least a Dreamcast or better (OG Xbox, etc…) to pull off this game as is without hurting the widescreen, resolution, colours, effects and framerate. 32-bit consoles from the 90s couldn’t handle the resolution to begin with.
I'm about halfway through it and I've been waiting for it a long time. Well worth it. It's been great fun. Surely not reinventing the wheel but it feels great to play and the difficulty is changeable. The relics are neat but optional and WHEELS is a SUPER fun minigame. Greatest minigame since Tetra Master or GWENT.
@@Shaner373 well, not directly but you get some relics that increase or decrease the difficulty. One relic does actually bump the difficulty and another gives you more xp for battles of you can negate enemy defense bonuses while casting. Things like that.
Sea of Stars is the best game I've played in a very, very long time. Definitely the best RPG I've played since Lunar Silver Star on Sega CD. It's gorgeous, it's got a good story, you think it's over and it keeps going several times.
Bought this on steam to play on the deck and it runs perfectly and has been pretty fun about 5 hours in, I only play for like 30-45 mins before bed so far so good
What I’m getting from this is that you thought it was fine but it didn’t blow you away. This looks like something that would be exactly what I’m looking for after Octopath Traveler 2.
Still have to ‚finish‘ Zelda but then this is next. Got the SNES in 92 and played all those jrpgs back then. Dunno if this really is that good but it hits all the nostalgia I want from the demo alone 👍🏻

Tellin you, man. Video game companies are making a mistake leaving pixel graphics in the past. This game's art is going to age so nicely.
For old people but the young people who are playing games the most usually like all that flashy new stuff
@@koontzsamaI don’t know about that. Young kids like stuff like Minecraft, Fortnite, Five Nights at Freddy’s, those games aren’t particularly “good” looking.

I absolutely adore the Mario and Luigi games for their timing-based combat. I’m loving the combat in Sea of Stars because it feels like the Mario and Luigi games in a way
This. It's Mario & Luigi with Crosscode
Yea!! This was my draw to the game haha
I'm roughly 4 hours in, and I am really enjoying it. The combat is incredibly fun, and the entire package is very immersive.
I like the way it looks and the levels, but I don't like the combat much 😢
@@mac1bc I'm sorry the combat didn't appeal to you
One of those games that I am glad to have backed on Kickstarter when the project was live.
Ayoo Kickstarter Crew let's gooo
I’m just over an hour in and I’m really enjoying it. It’s so colorful. I’ll definitely pick up a physical copy for the Switch.
My Favourite Nintendo RUclipsr trying to discuss and review an RPG brings joy to me on this Friday
Playing on GP, i adore this game. Between this and Chained Echoes, indie RPGs are coming through.
I’m currently playing Chained Echoes like 60 hrs in l😂. So much do & the story is superb
Yeah Sea of Stars isn't great by comparison Chanied Echoes is a lot better to be fair.
I hate@@Ihatevideogames334

Sea of Stars on Xbox Series has a higher Metacritic score than Starfield.
