I loved this game BECAUSE I played Sea of stars first, and that is one of my favourite games of all time. It is worse than that game though, in my opinion, but still a very good game in its own right.
Loved the twist, the free DLC was good. Definitely worth a play.

I initially thought it was janky and dated, but then things click and it becomes an incredibly precise game of skill.
It was very satisfying to complete, and really absorbs you into its world with it's art style and music.

A very solid high difficulty boss-battler with twin stick shooter elements. It was very satisfying to finally beat.

Visual puzzle game. It's easy enough once things click, but I actually had way more fun playing through after trying to mop up achievements or listening to the dev commentary.
100% must play for any puzzle game fan.

Played with my 5 y/o son. Didn't really like the game to be honest, but will always cherish the experience.

A Visual novel with more gamification than most and TONNES of agency. I have completed the main objective, but only scratched the surface of the stories they have hidden in this game.
Hope to go back to it eventually.

It was fun while it lasted, but I kind of plateu'd in skill once I got to around 2.5 stars. Playing on steam deck is hard too, I think I can't really progress anymore.

It still surprises me that I beat this game. I would repeat the same boss for hours on end trying to learn the patterns and best it.
Definitely a great personal achievement for me.

A slow-paced discover the story game with fun flight. Aesthetically, it's beautiful, and I enjoyed it, but i used a guide to race through the content.
If you're a patient gamer, this is your game, if not, probably actually skip this one.

Great little puzzle game, with a heartwarming story. Not very difficult, short and simple.
Perfect for a palate cleanser.

A True masterpiece. The story is one of the best I have experienced in a videogame, ever.
The gameplay is great, and customizable. Too easy? Turn on a relic or two that make it harder. Too hard? Turn on the adventure mode relic.
Combat has a lock system which turns each battle into a mini puzzle game, if you want it to. (I recommend playing with the relic that makes enemies defence higher when they have an active lock, but vulnerable when you break it.) Theres also a timing system that adds even more interactivity to the combat. It was never dull.
Music and SFX were fantastic, and the Characters were just so likable. it's full of humour.. I can't stop gushing.

Breath of fresh air.
This is like, half game, half interactive movie. The combat is good, and feels really intense because of something the game tells you early on about there being permadeath if you die too many times.
Its just such a unique experience in gaming and I feel like everybody should give it a go, even if it is over-acted and the story is a little bit hard to follow.
The best thing about this game is the binaural audio. Definitely play it with headphones.

I expected this to be a novelty meme type game mostly for kids. It actually is a well fleshed out speedrunning type game.
Once you adopt a playstyle you like with a couple of upgrades that suit you well, its really quite enjoyable. The end boss is different and fun too. I had a really good time here.
Unfortunately it is still a bit inconsistent and buggy at times thoughm, which is why I can't score it higher.

DNF - Too unfun, too buggy.
