Sea of Stars took me by surprise, and is my pick for GOTY of 2023. It has so many elements from iconic JRPGs that blend so well together, along with the clever humour, gorgeous visuals and amazing sountrack, which all contributed to hooking me into the game immediately. The story is fun, and full of surprises, the level design is super creative, the combat feels rewarding and fair, and the whole game is packed full of content. A must play for any JRPG fan.
