How does it look? Mobile is a bit fucked I know, but static width seemed to work in preview?

I have this preordered on Steam. I’m hoping it will be great like Chained Echoes.
Probably won’t have time to play this between AC6, Starfield, BG3 and RDR but will definitely play it once I’m done with them.

How do you pre-order on Steam? Only gives me the option to add to wishlist.

Live from NeoGAF, it's Friday Night!
The text for Valere is below her GIF and for the others it's above them. Compared to the desktop view. And the alignment is a bit off. Only on mobile. The rest looks fine.

Going to play this as it’s part of my sub. Looks really charming.

Have kept an eye on this for a few years now and it was mainly due to the gorgeous art-style and animation. I also played the demo and it was quite decent. While I am not a fan of action elements in turn-based games, the aspects other than combat still make it worth playing for me.
So yeah, looking forward to it via Gamepass.

I enjoyed this demo and I am looking forward to the game. It's a shame it's sandwiched between two mega releases.

pre-order is live on Xbox, looks like it’s going to be priced at $35
I’m hoping that Humble Store has it release day so I can get 20% off

i hope this game is at least as good as chained echoes, the price hasn't been released on Steam yet but i'll probably pre-order it.

Is this actually a story sequel to The Messenger? I might have to replay that. I never did finish it.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Great OT, I am 100% going to play this, unfortunately its releasing at a time where other games hold my interest more.
Maybe late September or November after the glut of releases has passed.

Hopefully its better. I dropped off of CE as soon as I got the airship and things opened up. It was real good up until that part albeit a few pain in the ass difficulty spikes.

Hey man, social media marketing at its best, not gonna deny it. Many other reviewers agree, check OpenCritic, tons of 9s and high 9s and even 10s (Including us) https://opencritic.com/game/15003/sea-of-stars

It said to play in the same universe but to what extent i'm not sure. Some reviewer mentioned that no knowledge of the Messenger is needed to enjoy the game.

It's in the same universe but takes thousands of years before The Messenger. It's officially a prequel.

There was no handholding in the demo for the puzzles and combat seems challenging. I was running out of healing items by the end of it.

Combat can be made more difficult using gambits, which you can choose which to turn on and change the gameplay in different ways. For example, one gambit does the following reduces HP by 95%, but then doubles damage and also reduces damage to 1 but only if you get the defence timing right.
You can see the demo boss fight using this gambit turned on below:

Anyone know if this supports rumble on controllers? Can't find answers online. Debating between switch lite or oled.

Imagine being sensitive to writing and grammar. I hate this insufferable cunt.

But did you notice that in your time with the game ?

I'm kind of a grammar nazi. Not a deal breaker, but it can make a game look cheap for sure.

English is not my first language first of. Second of all I was too busy enjoying the characters, story and the combat and the music to worry about a bunch of text on screen.
I am not going to sit there and waste time to perfectly read the text.

That's good enough to me, if it isn't something that doesn't immediately jump out at you like some of those infamous PS2/PSP localization cases we've seen.

I am only a grammar nazi when it comes to writing professional written reviews or youtube scripts. It's very rare for me to notice small grammatical mistakes in a video games.
I feel like if Baldur's Gate 3 had grammatical issues then that would.be a different story since it's extremely dialogue based, but then again I am sure they have professional grammar nazis for hire for a game like that + everything is voiced.

Grammar isn't what concerns me.....it's the game being too "text heavy" from what I am hearing. If there's a good story to be told, then good...but I don't want to be stuck in dialogue for 15-30 mins like I was for Eastward (another 16 bit like indie). The demo had some of this where NPCs I didn't care for were going on and on and on for like 10+ minutes with what I call uneventful filler dialogue. Otherwise the game looks insanely fun.
