Critic Reviews for Star Ocean First Departure R
Star Ocean First Departure R is the best Star Ocean game in a long time.
Fans of Star Ocean will know what to expect here. This is a game that's pretty fun to blast through for nostalgia's sake or from the point of view of simply experiencing the game that kickstarted the long-running series. For anyone else this is simply a pretty old RPG that's showing its age in many ways.
Star Ocean: First Departure R on Nintendo Switch is a fine way to experience the origins of the Star Ocean franchise but a pretty barebones remaster.
Star Ocean First Departure R is an underwhelming port of an excellent but often forgotten Square Enix JRPG.
Star Ocean: First Departure R gives the players a chance to revive an old classic without ruining its originale core.

A classic JRPG in the good and the not so good: it has that charm that only this kind of games possess, but things like structure and narrative hasn't aged so well. In any case, if you haven't played the original (or the remake), Star Ocean: First Departure R is a great opportunity to do it.

I love Star Ocean: First Departure R. It’s a must-play for JRPG fans, and gaming historians.
