First of all, if you do not like isometric games, this may not be for you.
However, if you like a game full of suspense and narrative, I would definitely play this game (even if you are not a fan of isometric). This by far the best I have played in a long time.
The background story, the plot twists, the atmosphere, it is just very, very good.
This is what a Lovecraft story would have been like, if H.P. had written science fiction.
Stasis is the sort of game for those of us who've been longing for a dark sci-fi horror game in the vein of Alien, Event Horizon, or Sunshine, and can't contain their itch anymore. The game builds on those experiences, and aspects of somewhat similar games like Dead Space and System Shock, to create an engrossing and dark atmosphere in the depths of space amid bio-genetic engineering gone horribly awry. John is a very likable protagonist, and a believable one as well, in his quest to find his missing wife and daughter, no matter what twists and turns the ship's inhabitants - alien AND human - throw at him.
The control interface is very modern and streamlined, as well as being minimalists for maximum atmospheric impact and immersion. You won't be inundated by a smorgasburg of items, and most puzzle scenarios are challenging-but-fair. Although the game's narrative is quite linear and there's only one possible ending, the journey towards reaching that ending is very filling and kinetic, constantly moving the game forward and keeping the plot fresh.
Visually the game is very well done, although sometimes the isometric view can make locating certain items more difficult than need be. The level of detail is impeccable, however, and more than makes up for this. Sound design is fantastic, especially with headphones on, and the dialog and PDA entries are well-written, grammatically sound and exuding lots of character. The only possible real disappointments are (depending on how you look at them) three specific aspects of the third act, including the ending.
Again, this comes down to how you interpret events in the story, and as such rewards players who actually take their time to lay inside the lore and narrative the story has set forward for them, rather than trying to speedrun wholesale. For that reason I'd definitely suggest avoiding a particular Youtube video and Steam thread until *AFTER* finishing the game of your own accord.
Highly recommended.
This game reminds me so so much of sanatarium. The style, the graphics even the story (sci-fy) definately recommend you playing it especially if you liked sanitarium. Theres lots of blood every scene every where you go theres no escaping it so those of you with blood phobia dont play. great atmosphere music not offputting or overpowering just right- fits the style-horror. Theres alot to read pda's " personal data records" of dead bodies scattered about. You always know what to do next even though theres no to do list so to speak. theres no hot spots to help you but strangely enough you dont seem to need them in this game even though there are things to pick up and/or interact with. All puzzles are totally logical and if you try hard to think what would you do if you were REALLY there then you will get through each scene. my only wish was that the graphics were better and at a closer range
I have a confession the last horror game I enjoyed was Resident Evil 2 and then I played Silent Hill which creeped me out and I haven't bothered since but this is just a bit special.
I am a fan of point and click and this is exceptional , atmospheric , clever , interesting , great audio dialogue, I am struggling to find a fault.
If you like Aliens, Event Horizon and enjoyed the concept of Dead Space ( this is point and click and not FPS ) you will love this.
I'm going to hunt down the developers other games but it's a shame that GOG don't do scoring out of 10 as this would be a 9.
Good writing, good acting, good puzzles, good scares.
There are a few loose ends in the plot, and a little pixel-humting, and a few puzzles that only make sense once you have solved them, but this didn't prevent me from enjoying this game. Also, increase the brightness of your screen, otherwise, you'll end up regularly not being able to spot your character!
