Says Unsupported, but worked perfectly fine on Steam Deck. Controls map fine, graphics, etc. Maxed out settings at 1280x800 resolution at a solid 60 fps. Just wanted to point that out as people may be wondering how it performs on Steam Deck. I played this way back on the PS3 (one of my first games on it) with the International release and enjoyed it.
This ain't bad, but: Squenix needs to remaster/release Second Story aka best JRPG ever made.
they should have all starocean games
It's actually not the best, don't get me wrong this is a fun game. I just wish they would give us Star Ocean The Second Story on steam because that was the game in this series that I never forgot about.
This is by no means a great game. It's a decent game that has a weak story, kind of weak character roster, some excessively long bits between save points... However, it's enjoyable. Combat is fun, if you get familiar with it. You can just mash x to win in the beginning, but a lot of fights (including mook encounters) will make that brain dead strategy hard to progress with. I've beaten it once on PC now, and twice on 2 different difficulties on PS3. It was an great deal of fun playing it again, so long after last touching it on my PS3. This is the 4th game in the mainline Star Ocean game, but is a prequel. You don't need to have played the previous games to understand what is going on, but it can help with references to previous games as well as staples of the series as a whole. Performance wise - it's a pretty damn good port. I'm running on slightly below spec hardware and getting re
This game is a guilty pleasure of mine. I have put in hundreds of hours here on Steam and on the Xbox 360 version. I adore this game, and it is for all the wrong reasons. The characters are generic cutouts, the story is trying so hard to be deep, the gameplay movement is a bit rubbish and tedious, and so many more flaws that I just can stack up on here. But there's just this charm to the game that I can't break from. It is so likeably unlikeable that I honestly compare it to being a JRPG version of The Room. If you are looking for something with a story with exceptional writing, character investment, and intuitive gameplay, this is NOT your game. But I've grown to love all of it, even down to the silliest flaws. I have heard other reviews saying there is some gameplay issues, but for me, I have no such problems on my 2070 Super or my 3070 Ti upgrade. I have also played it on my G14 Zeph
