Stars Reach

40 million for this? Did they buy gold toilet paper for the office? Seriously. I could have made this myself, alone for 40 million. Hire me. In all seriousness this is a "we failed, we're trying to recoup some of our losses by launching on steam before shutting down." This is basically Ashes of Creation 2.0 If you do buy into this game, just know that this is very likely the reality of the game and you're basically buying it and hoping it survives long enough to be something good. Definitely do your research, I thought it would at least be playable but it very much was not. The lag was unbearable

This is so far beyond bad it's disastrous, everything, especially your player character is so insanely ugly and badly animated. There are so many things labeled "WIP", and the game runs and plays like rubbish. I don't care what you label this, this is not a sellable product. The only reason i'm not refunding is because I'm an idiot who hopes this might actually get decent in the future, but I'm pretty sure this'll go the route of Ashes of Creation.

This game should not even remotely be considered early access at this point.. Its barely even passable as alpha quality and is borderline unplayable. I can not recommend this game at this time, in a few more years it may be ready for an early access period. What are you doing Steam?

I really think people with .05 time in a game should not be able to write reviews about those games. I ignored those reviews, bought the game and so far I'm having a blast! Its hard enough to be challenging but also easy enough to keep me engaged . I have a bit over 2 hours into the game and still doing the noob quests....but so far ive had no lag no stuttering no server issues none of that BS I read from the guys with 10 mins in the game Trolling in reviews.... So far ive had nothing but an enjoyable adventure on an alien planet with cool vibes and exciting encounters!! 4.5/5

This is a true early access game in an Alpha state. Devs have been very transparent about this in discord and I got exactly what I expected. This is a good purchase for someone who wants to play with the physical and ecological systems that make this game unique. You will experience bugs and you will get to witness the active development of the game that is built on top of these systems.

I will recommend the game but only for people that want to play as early Alpha testers. The game is getting constant updates so i hope it will see a 1.0 launch. I refunded simply because I expected a early access beta with a functional infrastructure/core and a basic/fun game loop. I am fine with bugs, jank, and crashing that was to be expected for EA. In my opinion, what your getting is early alpha....testing/concept phase with placeholders for everything. Animations are unfinished, npc spawns are broken, the character controller barely works, character models/buildings/Props/terrain/level design/effects are all very basic/plain/unfinished. That is the short list.... Betas usually build/improve upon a solid foundation and I don't see anything but placeholders and duct tape here. I really have high hopes for Stars Reach as they are using Star Wars Galaxies to fuel their hype. SWG was my 1st and favorite MMO until they overhauled the game to copy other popular titles during its time, removing everything that made the game unique and fun, which led to its downfall. If Stars Reach become the spiritual successor of SWG and improves upon that concept it will become a huge success. I can ignore the current state of the game in hopes it sees a finished 1.0 launch with all the promises intact. However the art style is just ugly and kidish, i really hope it's just a placeholder. It doesn't match the genre and complexity of the game. What is the target audience for this game? You have deep complex systems, no handholding, open classes which would mostly be appreciated by teens and adults yet the art style is geared toward young kids. The last reveal I seen has UFO saucers as space ships???? If they are locked into this Style, i will not be playing after release.

As a former SWG vet, I followed the game with certain expectations. Unfortunately Stars Reach feels like and performs like it was developed in the early 2000s. "Outdated" is how I can describe it best. Not the Terrafrom Tech itself, but the overall implementation. The UI, movement, character design,... Because of this very poor impression, I refunded the game within an hour of playtime. This is NOT worth 30€ in 2026!

Tried to give it the benefit of the doubt. Star Wars Galaxies is still just better, and still easily available. The theme and aesthetics of this will never catch on, and the gameplay is dated and bad, not to mention the typical server issues. The bones just aren't there.
