I don't quite know what happened with Sea of Stars. It seemed to get a positive reception at launch, maybe before anyone but professional critics had given their evaluation, but since then I've seen it brought up pretty often as a go-to example of garbage. I didn't finish it. Wouldn't have called what I played terrible by any means, though.
