Stars Reach

I seen all the mixed reviews. There was a little lag at the start but I also have a fast internet 600-900M. I thought this would be like (planet crafter or similar), however, it reminds me like a Roblox game for some reason. There isnt a wow factor. I roam around gather items, shoot semi stationary things, some have massive dmg capabilities. Roam some more scanning those red gems (1 was almost impossible but I got it, on the side of weird mountain.) Mining you have to go off planet and cant terraform on Haven. I probably didnt touch the surface. I will recommend however, not my taste. (I be placing this in my Meh folder come back to someother day.)

I'm disappointed that they brought this to early access, in it's currently state I would barely call it early alpha. Add it to your wish list, but don't pay for this right now.

If they keep the updates rolling, this game has huge potential. It is rough around the edges, but that is part of the process. Go in knowing you are playing a work in progress, but that progress is going steady. Combat already feels 100x better, lag and stuttering has improved a lot, and the bug fixes are being handled quickly. I am excited to see what the future of this game can be.

[b]Raph Koster Helped Define What an MMO Could Be. I’m Betting He Can Do It Again.[/b] My love for MMOs probably started before I ever knew what an MMO was. As a kid in the '80s, I played tabletop D&D with friends. I dabbled in MUDs, and I have great memories of huddling around an Amiga with friends playing single-player RPGs. But I remember always wishing for something more. I wanted that fantasy world to be a place where [i]all of us[/i] could be there together, each on our own computer, having our own adventures and creating our own stories. Years later, [b]Star Wars Galaxies[/b] finally gave me that. It somehow brought together my love of D&D, video games, Star Wars, and shared worlds in a way I'd imagined since I was a kid. It wasn't just a game I played—it helped define what I believed an MMO could be. That's a big reason I'm supporting [b]Stars Reach[/b]. Raph Koster belongs on the Mount Rushmore of MMO designers. His influence on this genre, and particularly the idea that virtual worlds should be more than combat treadmills and queues, is enormous. Supporting Stars Reach feels like an opportunity to support Raph and a team attempting to build the kind of [i]world[/i] that made many of us fall in love with MMOs in the first place. [b]So, you have my support.[/b] Now for the difficult part... I honestly can't make it past the character creator yet. I've tried. I really have. But the current art style is a pretty significant hurdle for me. And that's especially unfortunate because creating your character is one of those magical first moments in an MMO. It's the doorway into the world. I need to look at that character and think, [i]"Yep. That's me. Let's go have an adventure."[/i] Right now, I'm just not getting there. But I'm also not writing Stars Reach off because of it. I'm going to let the game cook. I'll continue supporting it, watching it develop, and hoping that the visuals—particularly the characters—continue to evolve alongside everything else. I've waited a very long time to experience another MMO world from Raph Koster. [b]I can wait a little longer.[/b] [b]Recommended[/b]—not because Stars Reach has already become the MMO I've been waiting for, but because I want to support the people still willing to try to build one.

Love the game idea that it has, but why would you release a game , even in early access, when game is unplayable? I just got out of the laggy tutorial to be bugged out in the garden area, not able to go anywhere.. tried restarting game, others have issues too and we are all stuck here.. paid $40 to be stuck not able to move or go anywhere... why do devs do this to their players..

A Negative Review That I Hope Turns Positive I really want to like this game, but right now it feels like the studio tried to build a bigger vision than the current systems can support. Movement feels buggy&laggy, combat is funky, and inventory management is unnecessarily messy. The biggest problem is that identical items from different planets don't stack. An apple from Planet A and an apple from Planet B are apparently completely different apples, so they take separate inventory slots. The market inherits the same problem, which makes the whole economy feel more complicated than it needs to be. The graphics also feel like they're from the early 2000s. Normally I don't care much about graphics, but in this case some areas are genuinely hard to overlook. There are quests across four different planets, but the way you travel between them is probably the strangest part. You leave the space station, slowly make your way toward a teleportation device floating in the middle of space, and then teleport to the planet. It feels unnecessarily complicated rather than immersive. My biggest concern, though, is that the game doesn't seem to communicate its potential very well. Maybe I'm missing something, but the bigger vision the game seems to be aiming for never really came through for me. It feels like the studio may have bitten off more than it can currently chew. Untill the studio keeps improving the core systems, fixes the awkward parts, and manages to bring that bigger vision to life, its a No from me.

В игру пока не играл. + Сказалось быстро. +- Создал персонажа (для беты есть что выбрать но выбор не велик). --- Уже минут 50 сижу жду загрузки в мир. но если переходить между меню настроек и обратно к загрузке я вижу как кто то бегает и прыгает (то есть есть те кто загрузился).

Good idea ruined by jank, bugs and bad graphics.
