Stasis Review
The atmosphere created throughout the entirety of Stasis makes this one of the most constantly unsettling experiences I have ever played. As an experience this is incredible, but as a point and click game it doesn’t quite hit the same heights. There are some issues but overall this is a unique experience that deserves to be played.

STASIS is visually well made and has some great atmospheric elements, but the annoying dialogue and preachy story drag it down a lot.

STASIS is a good video game that will appeal to those who like both the adventure game space and the classic science fiction franchises that deal with corporate greed and with the failings of humanity. The Brotherhood clearly had limited resources to work with, but they have managed to create an impressive game world, mainly through the use of good puzzles, interesting characters, and well-placed sound triggers. STASIS understands that the modern player is desensitized, and that intellectual horror is no longer enough to make them stop playing and think about society, the power of technology and how important morals are to our continued existence as a race. The game might be too gory and violent for some players, but it is rarely gratuitous, and playing through it is a great way to get a scare, explore a cool story, and then sit back and think about how one might react when a cryosleep trip turns into a nightmare.
