Good idea, poor execution

It's... playable, but that's the best I can say. The storyline is similar to other sci-fi horrors (especially Dead Space). So we are exploring (again) a derelict space station. And we are not alone. Nothing original, but it's acceptable. The visuals are mediocre - this is one of the games with great looking screenshots, but once you play it, you see mostly crude animations. Hard to tell which elements are interactive, especially when there is no way to highlight them (I know it's a "late" standard, but still it should be present in a game from 2015). Worst part: the puzzles are weird and doesn't make much sense. There are some hints hidden between lines of multiple journals and notes scattered around the place, but it doesn't really help. You'll get stuck quickly, sometimes the game will tell you directly what to do, but your goals will often be unclear. Path to achieving them - even worse. Sadly, although I really liked the idea, I can't recommend this game. It had potential, and at some point was pleasant to play, but it's not enough.

The ending made me Alt-F4

When it comes to point and click adventure games, there's not really much to expected. What is expected is pixel hunting, back-tracking, and madman logic on puzzles. Stasis has little of those three negatives, which is a huge plus along with the fine voice-acting, amazing atmosphere, and stellar visuals. So why a one star? One word: Story. It wasn't enough that the villain was a stereotypical god-complex type, but there's a twist that just harms the story, then an ending visual which utterly murders it off! The atmosphere, especially discovering and reading random PDAs for backstory, is bloody amazing. It almost feels like the designers of this game want me to avoid all future products. The first twist is a bit cliche, but the ending stinger--the one shown right before the credits as a 'DUN DUN DUN'--is trash. I don't know how to design how awful it is without it being a spoiler. I feel cheated of my $5.

Free? Right price.

More than one euro is overpriced.

Not very good

As a veteran of point-and-click adventures I'd say that Stasis is one of the most mediocre titles I ever played of this kind. It's not awful but very far from being one of the best I ever played. For a start, graphics are just nothing special, rooms pretty much look all the same and animations are unconvincing. Sanitarium came 17 years before and was much better in this regard. If I had not read that music is by Mark Morgan I would not have guessed it; not really a patch on the superb work he did for the Fallout series. But we all know that the real substance of adventures are story and puzzles. And things fall really apart here. The story is a collection of clichés, from the lone survivor guided by an ambiguous character to the mad scientist who believes to be a god. What I really do not like, however, is the gratuitous gore and shock, especially in the last part of the game. It seems that the authors were unable to convey a captivating atmosphere and went through the punch-in-your-face way. It just feels "cheap" as well as, for certain parts, illogic - why dedicate so much room and resources on a spaceship to the removal of "waste" when you could simply throw it into the cold immensity of space or burn it in the hydrogen-based atmosphere of Neptune? The ending was quite predictable as well. As for the puzzles, I found them more than easy to solve, except for a couple of times where I had to employ the old try-everything-unless-something-happens method which is the bane of this kind of games, together with pixel hunting (which thankfully was not something I experienced here). In a nutshell, I was disappointed by Stasis. I would only recommend it to beginners of traditional adventures, if they can live with the bad writing and forcefully shocking setting.
