As mentioned earlier, Sea of Stars won our GOTY. It’s not hard to see why, given its tremendous story, gorgeous world, and addictive combat. To mark the victory, we wrote about the game, saying, “It’s the positive vibe of the game that kept me eagerly coming back the most though. It’s so easy for a video game about saving the world to overdo the angst and misery, but Sea of Stars manages to feel cheery and light-hearted for almost all of the game which makes the darker moments hit even harder. It also means that when tragedy strikes you know you can trust in your party that things will be okay eventually, and honestly I needed that reassurance.
I could talk for hours about all the aspects of Sea of Stars that I love. The gorgeous pixel art visuals, the banging soundtrack, the true ending, there’s just so much about the game that makes it special. I’m so pleased to be able to officially announce that Sea of Stars is the God is a Geek GOTY 2023.”
To celebrate the announcement of the Sea of Stars physical edition of the game, a brand new accolades trailer has been released, which you can watch below:
