Finished sea of stars "secret true ending". just a couple extra things you need to do after beating it once. it sends you back to the save before the boss, and lets you go do a few more tasks.
The "true ending" doesn't actually go very far in closing up loose ends, or giving any real closure.
Thats definitely one of the games weakpoints. the story is weak. Theres two problems. one is the tone. and the other is the game setting up the cinematic universe, and not actually dealing with THIS games story.
tone, a few too many silly, and not fitting into the world characters like Yolanda the pirate. Garl himself. The world itself seems designed for the game first, not a living world either.
This funnily enough contradicts the other major problem where WAY WAY too much of the game is setting up the companies multiverse. Fleshmancer and alchemist. to the point, the endings end up super lame because one, you don't even fight the big bad, and the other you do, but he just leaves in the end.
(this is the same universe as "the messenger" same company. story from what I understand does not directly relate, but again same universe.)
the game would have been better suited if it spent more time on THIS world, and THIS struggle. not setting up the universe, and constantly pulling deus ex machinas from Gandalf to save the day.
Relatively short game. 30$ price tag suits it pretty well. or, free on gamepass of course.
animated cutscenes are pretty great.
