This game certainly is a beautiful. I love the artwork from the beginning to the end. But Sea of Stars isn't a good game in my opinion. The fighting systems gets boring pretty fast, there is no real character development whatsoever. Aside from "stronger" there is no variety in the weapon/armor system. All (let's call them) dungeons are extremly short, there are hardly any puzzles (aside from some optional ones at the very end). One main game mechanic (the day/night circle) is completly underdeveloped, which is such a wasted oportunity. This game is just missing the fundamentals to be at least a somewhat good RPG.

Aside from that. The story is bland, no character deveopment at all. The whole game is on rails. The music... well I at least enjoyed one or two main game song, but like the songs of the pirat band. Almost no optional content. Well there is some post game content, but this doesn't fix any of the main games issues.

Let's call this game a nice RPG-first try and hope for a better one in the future. Although I want. I can't recommend the game.
