Comment on What games did you complete in 2024?

Sea of Stars has been on my radar for a while. I’m not huge on turn-based combat, but it looks so good!

It’s very much standing on the shoulders of Chrono Trigger, but in such an intelligent way that it ends up being the better game. Objectively (gameplay, art, direction, music, and writing are all much more ambitious in scope while remaining firmly rooted in the tradition of retro turn based RPGs) and subjectively (we got pretty emotional at some points and laughed pretty hard a few times, always stayed invested in the story) it’s just a better game than CT, which is something I simply never expected to say about a new game.
I’ve also been playing a lot of Noita, but haven’t beaten it.
