Just started sea of stars myself! The music and the visuals for now are absolutely beautiful!!

Agreed, it's really good. I thought I was done with JRPG's. Generally, they're too slow paced for me and I don't have as much time as I used to. I've really enjoyed this one so far though.

One of the features that I like is how even though the combat is turn based, it still feels active because of the timed button presses for attacking and defending. It definitely gives the traditional gameplay mechanic a breath of fresh air.

yeah i agree, the biggest problem for me in JRPGs is that i just don't have the time and sometime the attention span to keep playing. This one for now it’s working, although i’ve only played for a couple of hours.

Action RPG's are usually where it's at for me.

How is El Paso Elsewhere? It looks really good

[–] rustyriffs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

El Paso Elsewhere is quick fun, albeit, fatiguing for me personally. I've been playing it in bursts.

I'd say you just have to take it at face value, as far as story goes. It's part of the charm though, that it's kind of just... wacky?

The guns are pretty fun. They could've been better, sure, but they're generally pretty good.

I think the music is where this game really shines though. The soundtrack is just kick ass. Well worth a play, even if it was only for the music. I'd go so far as to say I'd purchase the music separately.
