The second game is pretty much the only one that gets a lot of praise. 3 is much more mixed and 4 and 5 are generally negative in their reception. 1 just kinda exists

Never seen CE act like it's overall a fantastic series.

You forgot they made a 6. That's how bad it is

One and two are good games and three was decent.

One's biggest problem is it feels like half a game. Because I think it is half a game.

2 is really the only great one in the series. 3 is mostly good, but questionable writing brought it down. (Worse twist than Tales of Arise.)

The gameplay was flawed and tedious. It just makes me wish I was playing a Tales game since the battle system is just a worse version of that.

TLH was my only SO game and it was so painfully average I have no interest in trying the others.

Star Ocean is a series predicated on just how much you can focus on gameplay over story. The writing is embarrassingly bad, but its gameplay is very top notch.

SO3 is one of my all-time faves (the twist was great you fools!). The sequels after ranged from okay-incredibly bad.

Also, I agree with @ellis123. The series is all about gameplay and exploration. The stories and characters are usually garbage.

SO3 has no exploration though. You're stuck on one planet for 90% of the game.

Dang.

I guess there is no exploration in 99.9% of RPGs because you are always on the same planet.

The selling point of SO is exploring space and other planets. You know what both that post and I meant.

Only one of the games had that. The fourth game. Every other game the sci-fi setting is just a backdrop for whatever generic fantasy planet takes up 75 to eighty percent of the game.

I've put it in 200+ hrs in so4 and i would've played more if there were additional end game dungeons. Then again, i play for the gameplay first. Story is your bog standard end of the world jrpg shenanigans, horrendous english va and script, ps1 era dialog (I don't recall if there was lip syncing at all). Despite all that, I was invested and by the end I felt satisfied and came out of it uplifted

The most recent one tended to get the high praise of "It's alright" which is high praise for Star Ocean recently.
