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.
