One of my favourite video games of last year - and possibly one of my favourite RPGs of all time - is getting a major free update, and I couldn’t be more excited.
If you missedSea Of Starslast year, you missed one of the best indie games in a long time. Oh, and it’sfreeonPlayStation Plus, so you really have no excuse not to play this stunning retro-inspired RPG - especially now it’s getting a substantial update.
Developer Sabotage Studio recently confirmed that, in addition to the in-development DLC,Sea Of Starswill receive a brand-new local multiplayer mode that will allow players to explore and battle with friends.

For those that haven’t playedSea Of Stars, the game’s battle system is reminiscent ofSuper Mario RPG, so working together in combat will involve lots of well-timed button presses to block enemy attacks and deal maximum damage together.
I gaveSea Of Starsa 9/10 last year, and would urge anyone even remotely interested in classic RPGs to pick it up.
Here’s a lil' snippet of my review:Sea Of Starsmay come across to some as little more than a tribute act to the classics, but I hold no truck with such sniffy dismissiveness.

“If it is a tribute act, it’s definitely more UK Pink Floyd Experience than your mate’s crappy pub band that plays Arctic Monkeys covers. Sabotage Studios has created an unforgettable, essential RPG that stands on the shoulders of giants and boldly looks ahead to the future.Sea Of Starsis damn-near perfect, and more than deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the titles that inspired it.”
Sea Of Starsis available now on… well, pretty much everything.
