While I wait for Golden Sun 1 to pop up on Switch Online, Nintendo to gather analytics and metrics of the demographics playing it, and for Nintendo to calculate if a remake is viable and will sell, I’m in the need of scratching that itch for an adventure like Golden Sun.

Are there any games that are similar to Golden Sun? What do you recommend?

Currently I’m playing Tears of the Kingdom and Persona 5 Royal (my first entry into the Persona series). I haven’t played Octopath Traveler, but I heard from others it is a similar type of series.

    Have you played Sea of Stars? There’s a free demo available on pretty much every platform, that gives a very good idea of what the full game is like. I’m currently a few hours in, and I can say pretty confidently that if you like GS you’ll like SoS

      Thanks for the recommendation! I checked it out on Steam and it looks really great. I’ve picked up a Steam Deck not too long ago since it’s easier to pick up and go compared to my PC where I have to carve out time to play. I think this would be a perfect experience for Deck.

        Oh must definitely. I’ve been playing it on Switch and it feels very good played handheld
