The first chapters of the game clearly shows that we are in another decade than the first game. There are some flaws in the story, and the main character is somewhat of an asshole from time to time which put me off a little bit when I started playing this game but as I continued playing the story and the atmosphere was almost as good as the first game. The music and the graphics are great for a nearly ten year old game, the acting is better than the first game but not superb so its a good sequel. The game doesn´t give me the scary uneasy feeling of the first one, but the feeling of being in a spooky adventure is strong.
If you like old school point and click games like I do, this might be a game for you. The obscure alien landscapes is clearly inspired by eighties and nineties sci fi, with a pinch of Lovecraft. There is a bit too long loading time here and there leaving you with a black screen and the game mechanics are a bit clumsy at times, but they wont hurt the game experience too much, since this is simply a point and click game. The manuscript is okay, but I would like a little bit more character development to get into the role of Hadley a little bit more while playing. For a free prequel game this is great, but it feels like this game is made to get more people buying Stasis. This game is almost worth 4 stars and without the small flaws I would definately rate this higher! The atmosphere is the best thing with this game and if you need a fun short point and click game try it! Its almost great ;)
