Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought so my wife and I could play a single player story game together. It is very good so far.

This game is beyond amazing. Grew up with the originals and now playing this, feel like a kid again such a good nostalgia high but also the QoL features are an incredible welcome. New fan or old this game has it all for everyone couldn’t be happier.

Amazing game! Decent Remakes are a bit oversaturated but this is a rare gem that has all the pros. The difficulty is my only real gripe.

This was probably my favorite JRPG in years from one of my favorite series ever. It really captured and improved on everything I love about 90s anime & video games.

Good game to get it has great get graphics an old school game that I played before but this remake is really good

So fun, never got to play the original but am thrilled to own this updated version.

Beautiful remake of an already outstanding game from the late 90s. Second Story R may be Star Ocean at its best, giving new fans a perfect entry into an awesome series. Multiple endings give it tons of replayability and hours of intriguing gameplay. This version also offers a number of upgrades to make the game more user friendly. An outstanding game that sets a new standard for what we should expect from video game remakes.

It’s a fun and nostalgic game, I love the combat and the music is entertaining.

Very interesting game with beautiful visuals. Enjoyable even though I'm not super into RPGs.

This is a great remake of an old jrpg... I like the story and game play.

Came in perfect condition - The game is also stunning and lots of fun!

One best Rpg I play for the ps1 back in day. Worth every penny to play it again with all the improvements!

While I'm only about 10 hours into this one, Star Ocean: The Second Story R has shown itself to be a hidden JRPG gem of the PS1 era. Much like SquareEnix has done for Octopath Traveller and similar titles, the mash up of 2D sprites set against 3D environments looks simply amazing, especially in motion. The battle system seems simple at first, and battles move at a quick pace, but complexity is added on as you progress through the story, adding party members, spells, and summons. I wish there was an option to skip the underpowered battles, as the load times do add up when you're constantly running into meager fights, but the battle theme and the flashy animations keep things interesting. Lastly, the rerecorded dub (Spike Spencer of NGE fame is Clyde!!!), new score and character illustrations, and depth of the leveling system help this game make a real name for itself. Truly, its been a while since I've actually completed a JRPG, but I can see this one being a personal classic for years to come.

Another square enix classic.. remastered for better play.

The game play and story are great with this game. I have always enjoyed the starocean saga.

One of the best Star Ocean Remakes so far. I really enjoy the HD-2D visuals.

A very well done remake, I can tell the developers were fans of the first one, my cat is a fan!

Fantastic action RPG. This is a remake of what many consider to be the best game in the Star Ocean series. This is a must own for RPG fans. Game on cartridge, no download code.

The game is great, runs well, and has awesome music. It should be a must buy if you have a switch, hopefully this sets the standard for remakes of older RPGs in the future!

Great old school rpg with combined graphics that make it all the more enjoyable.
