Star Ocean: The Second Story R
What critics said
MKAU Gaming90Star Ocean: The Second Story has one of the best stories in any JRPG series, and the most recent remake adds even more to the already emotional rollercoaster. The added content provides even more hours to a game that already takes more than 20 hours total to complete. Star Ocean: The Second Story R brings one of the best stories in the series to modern platforms.
GameHope.com80Star Ocean: The Second Story R shows how a truly great remake should be done.
TheGamer80Without spoiling things, Star Ocean eventually devolves into schlocky cliché territory, but by that point, you’re firmly on board, ticket purchased and ready to see its journey through to the end. Star Ocean: The Second Story got the remake treatment for a reason - it’s a classic of the genre with compelling characters, wonderful storytelling, and oodles of satisfying mechanics. R goes to great lengths to streamline the Star Ocean experience and make it more beautiful (the new arranged soundtrack is glorious), and while it might have sustained a bit of the difficulty that made the original a triumph to overcome, it still squarely sticks the landing.
