This is an awesome realization of the classic SNES RPG. It's been modernized in all the right ways with stunning art and sweeping music. Its gameplay has the hooks of a classic RPG with some modern tweaks to make it enjoyable no matter the enemy. The timing attacks really encouraged me to stay engaged with combat, it never devolved into simply mashing the attack button. All of its other small mechanics, like revives happening after a number of turns and the option to enhance any move both help to make combat a breeze and add additional strategic layers. All that said, I found the story and main characters to be a bit corny. It felt like pacing was all over the place and I was left with a number of unanswered questions. The main characters were almost lifeless with how little characterization they had, but the supporting cast often made up for this flaw. Sea of Stars is the closest any game has come to Chrono Trigger, even in spite of its weaker elements, so it will certainly be a game that I remember fondly.
