Sam Wachter: "As soon as Star Ocean: The Second Story R released, I was glued to my recliner and I didn’t want to stop playing. Not only is this a favourite gem from my childhood, but this edition is definitely the definitive one. Everything Gemdrops has produced in Star Ocean: Second Story R shows a lot of love and respect towards the original game while making it much more accessible and fresh to newcomers. While I will always cherish my memories of the cheesiness that is PSX edition, the joy I felt replaying a favourite game was strong throughout. Star Ocean: The Second Story R is the best Star Ocean game hands down, and every RPGamer owes themself a chance to enjoy this amazing remake. You won’t be disappointed."
A new Square Enix March 2024 Switch eShop sale is up and running with the lowest prices ever for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, Paranormasight, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, and more.
CCG writes - "On a technical level, Star Ocean 2 R takes all that was good about the original game and polishes it to a mirror sheen. Coupled with an immense amount of quality of life and rebalancing decisions to make this classic game accessible to both old-time and modern gamers, I cannot recommend it highly enough."
Square Enix, Tri-Ace and Gemdrops' role-playing game, Star Ocean The Second Story R has achieved over 2,000 "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews on Steam.
Beat it. Great game. I have to replay it though so I can fight Gabriel without the limiter. I missed the damn cutscene the first time. I'm also in love with the OST at the bottom of the Maze of Tribulations.
Same but I was going through it again, cause I was playing both campaigns anyway. Could not do the cooking mini game for shit. My girl smashed it in about 5 tries. Got me that platinum lol I wont lie.
Great game. After I finish the buggy mess but really good game Jedi Survivor I’ll go back to work on the platinum.
