During Black Friday week, the gaming market is flooded with deals, but if you're craving an old-school RPG with stunning 16-bit pixel art, Sea of Stars is a standout choice. This game pays homage to the golden age of video games, offering a nostalgic adventure filled with engaging action and a compelling narrative.
"Sea Of Stars is a classic SNES-era turn-based RPG that stands up to the giants of its time," Jason Fanelli noted in GameSpot's review. "Elements from those classics are woven throughout, but Sea Of Stars doesn't merely rely on its predecessors' achievements. Amidst a year packed with high-budget AAA titles, Sea Of Stars shines with an impeccable craftsmanship that allows it to hold its own against the competition."
Complementing the game beautifully is its official art book, brimming with exquisite illustrations by lead concept artist Bryce Kho. Released earlier this year, this hardcover book spans 272 pages and is currently priced at $39 (originally $50). Inside, you'll discover detailed artwork of the game's characters, worlds, and lore. The cover is particularly striking, featuring metallic accents over the artwork of the protagonists Valere and Zale.
Sea of Stars is just one of many JRPGs available at a discount during Black Friday. For those seeking more in this genre, there's a plethora of options. Notable among them is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, now on sale for $40 (originally $70), alongside other titles like Persona 5 Royal on PS5 and Star Ocean: The Second Story R, each priced at just $20.
