Just want to chime in as someone that has played both:

Both games have a nostalgic longing for games of the 90s, but that is about the only similarity between them!

Sea of Stars is charming, but I’d say it doesn’t hold a candle to Tunic. Still worth checking out as it’s on Game Pass, but I just wanted to bring another opinion to the table

Controller is just fine for our 4-player party. Having played Divinity on PC, I know kb+m will be easier but I didn’t think controller was particularly restrictive.

The tutorial segment is very weird for Remnant. My partner died before the ‘final stand’ segment of it (and before she had even seen all the control prompts) and she was shown the cutscene and dropped off at the Ward!

The game is definitely Souls-lite, and some of the bosses can be brutal (I have not finished my first run of the game, for reference), but I found it to be a fun time with friends. And it appears number 2 dials things up and addresses some of my issues with the game.

This batch of games feels so incredibly specific for me. I’ve just got through the bulk of Starfield and I’m looking forwards to playing other games alongside it, so this is the perfect batch to get lost in for the next few weeks!
