IndieView - Stasis
Like I said in my original review. The game draws obvious heavy inspiration from classic sci-fi, from Alien, to System Shock. The developers did their homework when it came to building a creepy and mysterious atmosphere. One thing I have noticed though is that Stasis isn't really all that scary. Creepy? Sure. Atmospheric? Definitely. Just not scary. The setting and story are the only real selling points here, but that isn't a bad thing because Stasis does both pretty well. The gameplay itself is rather standard of the point and click genre, combining items, finding where and how to use items, puzzles etc. No surprises to speak of really but I will say there is no hand holding either, you've got to pay attention and be clever. I got stuck more then once and sometimes puzzles were vague and obscure at times, however these moments are rare though. What kept me playing Stasis was how the game feels almost like a movie mixed with a game. There are cut scenes and story moments that really do an awesome job of building the universe. I wanted to know more and it gave me just enough to chase the carrot. The voice acting is solid and helps build the tension. John's reactions to things make you feel like you're there. The graphics are spectacular for a P&C game, as are the music, and sound effects. They need to be for what they aim to do with this game. In all the journey of Stasis is incredibly well done and fun. The story itself has some standard tropes that I hope have a twist. I can't comment on this until I complete the game. Which should be fun and soon!
