Dec 26, 2023Star Ocean: Second Story R comes as a remake that tries to revitalize the player's love for the franchise, bringing an art style that mixes new and old elements without losing its charm. Even if basic, the story has the usual beats of classic JRPGs and can keep you entertained with its characters of varying personalities. The combat is fast and visually appealing, but can be too easy and not too rewarding. The extra content can net you a few more hours of gameplay making the remake worth for the replay factor and the new novelties of UI and mechanics.

Dec 24, 2023One of the best Star Ocean sequels ever got a very high-quality remake in 2D-HD style. With its timeless charm and fast action battles, enriched with new graphics and numerous improvements, it is perhaps the best example of how to properly bring back to life a title from the first PlayStation era.

Dec 23, 2023Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a true delight for the fans of the series, skillfully recreating one of the best titles the franchise had to offer. But if you weren’t a fan of the original game, there's a high chance you won't particularly enjoy this one either. The game features intriguing characters and their relationships, beautiful graphics and a diverse world. Yet, the story lacks depth, and the somewhat clunky combat system is likely to divide the audience into those who love it and those who wouldn’t even want to touch it.
