    • A Masterpiece of Nastalgic Childhood Memories
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5
What can I say about this game other than its such an awesome blast from the past. I remember playing the original on PlayStation and absolutely loving it. The characters, the story, the game play, are all still amazing. The graphics have definitely been updated from when it originally came out, and even though its graphically nothing compared to modern games, I still love the art style think it looks amazing. The story is really good and playing it again made me remember why I liked the characters so much. I remember thinking that this was probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite RPG of all times. After playing it again now.... I can say that its pretty good, haha. Obviously games have come a long way and I could have sworn that this game took a long time to beat back in the day than it did this time around, but I wouldn't change it in any way. I'd say if you could get this game for anything under $30 and if you like older games or want to revisit this game from your childhood, definitely buy it, I certainly have no regrets. ... show more

    • Amazing Graphics for scenery compared to original
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5
Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a visually stunning remaster of the classic 1998 RPG, reimagining the beloved title with modern graphics and refined gameplay for the PS5. The game retains the essence of its original 2D sprite-based design, blending it seamlessly with 3D environments and character models that look breathtaking on next-gen hardware. The combat system, fast-paced and action-oriented, remains one of the standout features, offering real-time battles with a range of combo attacks and character-switching mechanics. The voice acting and writing have been updated to appeal to modern sensibilities, though fans of the original may feel nostalgic for the charm of the 1998 dialogue. The story, set against the backdrop of an intergalactic conflict, offers compelling character-driven narratives, with meaningful choices that affect the outcome of the game. Fans of the original will appreciate the expanded content, improved user interface, and quality-of-life updates that make for a smoother experience. Overall, Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a fantastic RPG that not only honors its roots but elevates the classic with vibrant visuals and enhanced mechanics, making it a must-play for both newcomers and long-time fans of the franchise. ... show more

    • Good remake, no spoilers
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5
Pretty sure this is a remake of a remake now. I played the original on PS1, then the remake on PSP, and now this sort of HD2D on PS5. Still a fun game. Has more to it than I've ever figured out or tried. Music instruments? Cooking? I just grind more, buy better gear, and stock up on items. Fun if silly story. Just glad they don't forget old games and instead carry them forward with nice to have enhancements. If only they would have done the same for the first game. ... show more

    • Great Game but the menu needs work
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5
Great remastered game if you like rpgs. There are a lot menu skill/talent/perk options that all connect on different screens and it can be confusing. There are no in game instructions on how all these mesh together and it’s a lot of back and forth. Get your own and paper ready because there are a lot of things to remember in the settings. The game is great but the menu could have been done in a much easier way to understand ... show more
