Sea of Stars is like a blast from the past, taking us back to the awesome 16-bit era of JRPGs. I mean this game is a total love letter to those classic gems, and it's just so darn beautiful! It took inspiration from game I truly love like Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Golden Sun and many more.

First off, the battles in this game are super cool. They make you think and strategize, which is a blast. And don't get me started on the music – it's like a magical soundtrack that keeps you pumped up. The way the game looks, with its pixel art, is like stepping into a colorful, living world. Every dungeon you explore feels different and exciting. Plus, there are these fun puzzles and side quests, like fishing and cooking and mini game that keep things interesting.

But here's the kicker – I only wish there were more combo skills to play around with. Still, every battle feels like solving a puzzle, and you've got to manage your magic points wisely. Now, on the flip side, the storytelling could use a little boost, even though the ending is pretty great.

So, all in all, "Sea of Stars" is like a dream come true for JRPG fans. It's got fantastic battles, amazing music, and a world that's bursting with life. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's a love letter to a time when gaming was pure magic. You've got to check it out!
