Star Ocean 2 The Second Story R Review

Star Ocean 2 The Second Story R First Impressions

Image

There are quite a lot of additions to the game we're all excited about! The first and foremost would be the ability to have benched allies perform support attacks, ensuring that despite not being out in the field, they'll still have a method to contribute to their allies' victory. Chain-stunning would also be a fun mechanic to mess around with, particularly on a game that utilizes a real-time combat system. Fights have also been streamlined, such as easier access to skills at the touch of a button.

The updated graphics and gameplay are heartwarming things to see for such a beloved game released 15 years ago. We're excited about getting our hands on the game and reliving the experience.
