What did you think of Sea of Stars? (lemmy.world)

I thought that it was overall good fun. The battle system is excellent and the music is great. The characters are cool and generally quite enjoyable. However, the standard ending of the game really annoyed me. It’s totally anti-climactic. I really don’t want to go back and do a bunch of side quests (collectathon in particular) to unlock the true ending.

The production of it is excellent. Art is great, combat design was very good, music is good.

But the writing leaves a lot to be desired.

Like, if you could combine the writing of Undertale with the production of this game, you'd have a game that would rival the classics themselves.

As it was I really struggled to stay engaged with Sea when the dialogue felt like it was written by a Disney intern in their first week on the job.

The writing definitely feels very amateurish. Which I agree is a mismatch with the otherwise high quality nature of the game.

I like the overall themes though. It was serviceable enough for me.
