What will you be playing this weekend? Starfield or Sea of ​​Stars?

The weekend is finally here, and for many, it’s the perfect time to take a break from school or work and develop their passion for gaming. We are incurable interfering people and offer our traditional question: what are you going to play this weekend?

The week was monopolized in a way star field, the highly anticipated space adventure from Bethesda. While the global launch is scheduled for Wednesday, September 6th, many have already started playing it yesterday thanks to guaranteed early access with the purchase of the Premium Edition.

As explained in our Starfield review, we’re talking about a game colossal, multifaceted and full of activity things to do and potentially entertain hundreds and hundreds of hours. Bethesda has excelled in offering players a superior world and main quest and faction storylines that surpass past standards. The technical sector on consoles and the purity of the game code are also surprising, which violates the historical tradition of a studio full of errors. However, we were not entirely convinced by explorations of space and planets, where procedurally generated structures tend to repeat indefinitely, as well as the static nature of the game world in relation to the player’s choices.

Sea of ​​Stars, one of the best non-Japanese JRPGs of recent years

Another very important release of the past week is Sea of ​​Stars, an RPG created by Sabotage Studios inspired by great Japanese classics like Chrono Trigger and old Final Fantasy, keeping the best elements and stripping down the old ones. The result, as explained in our review, is an unforgettable game, made possible by top-notch art and truly intriguing game design choices. If you’re curious, know that Sea of ​​Stars is available for almost every platform on the market and is included in the Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalog.
