- “It's a full coming of age story laced with magic, betrayals, and a carousel cast of unreliable narrators, which will have your starchild measuring their own judgment against their trust in other people.”
- “Incredible story with intricate characters.”
- “I loved reading through 'Stars Arisen.' I felt like each of my choices added something to the story or allowed me to influence the narrative meaningfully, both of which helped keep me invested in the marvelous universe described in the game.”
- “The romances were undercooked and didn't blend well with the main decisions of the story; but the redemptive/revenge family arc was especially good.”
- “It is a bit more removed from being in the story, so to speak, in that you are focusing more on other people, groups, and situations.”
- “In this one, there is still a large backstory/before the story element, but your character was not actually involved in the events per se, just living the repercussions of those events.”
