3/5 ★ – Diluted_Thought's review of Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

The first Star Ocean game I played was "Till the end of Time" on my PS2 and I really enjoyed my time with it, so I figured I'd have a similar experience with "The Last Hope", unfortunately, by the time I got to this game I was already close to putting away my Xbox 360 for good in favor of my Nintendo Switch and PS4 shortly after. The gameplay no longer excited me and I found myself having a more difficult time leveling up in this game. Maybe I was no longer interested in grinding quite as much? The game looked ok, but the in game characters looked ugly and it was a pain to watch cutscenes. I apologize if that sounds harsh but they could have gone with a different art style. I put in about 10 hours of so into the game and decided to call it good. I may have put a little more energy into it had I played it earlier but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
