Starwalker Reviews

I really like the directon the game aims for. Unfortunatly, the controls are bad, no mouse turn/look and the game is grossly unfinished. Wish someone would finnish this game or start from scratch using the same concept.

Not a complete game. At all. There's no guide, it's too dark in the beginning. Buildings disappear, you can't tell if you're inside or outside sometimes. It is rife with bugs, aliens that you kill, getting 'stuck' on you and continuing to do damage. The UI is clunky and inelegant. I spent over an hour trying to find food. The second objective the "tutorial" gave me. There's no maps, there's no compass, no way to tell where you are...and you can't see anything. It's a 3rd person game with all of the horrible weaknesses of field of view of a first person game. And dark. Did I mention dark? There's not even a setting to crank the brightness so you can see. It sounds like it has a lot of potential, but releasing this game for $10 on Steam was irresponsible and borderline unethical. It is in alpha, at the best. Maybe even pre-Alpha development.

Alright, I've played and liked a bunch of Early Access games in my day. However, this is the most unfinished one I've ever laid eyes on. First, you get given very vague instructions, there is no map, there is no objective indicator and the enemies can literally sneak up on you with no sound or even effect noise for their attack. I just happened to look at my health at one point and realized something was trying to eat my face. The enemies can't be looted, and the initial map (crash site) is huge, but since you don't know where and what you're supposed to be collecting/doing, you just sorta run in circles hoping you get the right item by accidentally running over it. I think the premise is nice, I think the game will MAYBE one day be playable and worth it. But as of now, I'm feeling super cheated as it's the bare skeleton of a game and not anywhere close to what they think it will become. I'll keep hoping that I see it's updated in my steam window in the future and give it another try, but for now, it's just going to haunt my harddrive as the little game that maybe could one day be worth playing.
