  • gameplay
    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a mix of simulation and management set in a sci-fi environment, featuring micromanagement and grid-based construction mechanics that some players find confusing or shallow. While the game offers a relaxing experience with a soothing soundtrack and engaging sound effects, many users feel it is unfinished, with numerous mechanics needing improvement and balancing. Overall, it may appeal to fans of space sims, but potential buyers are advised to wait for patches to address current gameplay issues.

    • “The gameplay is pretty much a simulation of working, living, and producing goods in space while dealing with random events and daily human needs.”
    • “If you like key shortcuts as much as I do, since they make gameplay smoother and easier to handle, then be amazed.”
    • “Fun gameplay, nice visuals, and a great game for multiple plays.”
    • “In general, wait for the gameplay patch; only then can you buy. I do not recommend it yet!”
    • “Bug-free as far as I can tell, but way too many unfinished mechanics and pretty bad balancing.”
    • “That said, the mechanics are rather shallow and most possibilities are exhausted quite quickly.”
  • graphics
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the appealing visuals and contemporary design, while others criticize the use of outdated 2D pixel art that lacks depth and quality. Although there are options to adjust resolution, they do not significantly enhance the graphics, leaving some players disappointed. Overall, while many find the graphics decent and fitting for a base-building game, others feel they fall short of modern standards.

    • “The visuals are very appealing.”
    • “Graphics and art style is excellent, sound and music enjoyable.”
    • “Stellarhub's graphics are really rather good.”
    • “From all accounts, the people who could get this to work found what looked like a deep and interesting space station builder was, in fact, as bad as the shoddy 2D pixel visuals.”
    • “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel 'art' as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
    • “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is primarily conveyed through a series of tutorial missions and contracts that serve as a basic campaign, but players feel it lacks depth and engagement. While the tutorials effectively introduce gameplay mechanics, they are criticized for their poor grammar and excessive text, leaving players wanting a more cohesive narrative and additional content to sustain long-term interest. Overall, the story aspect is seen as underdeveloped, with a call for more interactive elements and a clearer overarching goal.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “You build a space station, hire specialists, and progress trying to fulfill missions and prevent destruction.”
    • “The game comprises two tutorials set in the solar system, six missions of varying difficulty and size in other star systems, and a random system mode.”
    • “More interaction, more story, a campaign or two maybe, not sure how multiplayer would work but the game needs more.”
    • “The tutorials do a reasonable job of introducing the basics, though some of the grammar is terrible, and it's not yet clear to me whether there's a set goal in each of the system missions or whether they're just more structured sandbox modes.”
    • “The game offers a tutorial to help you get into the game, it has a slight learning curve which is actually quite fun to learn, along with that there are a few missions that can be considered the campaign but they are more just there to work as a tutorial and slowly ease you in to the game and all it has to offer, the game is pretty much played in custom mode as a simulator.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is currently a significant issue, with multiple users reporting numerous bugs and control problems that hinder gameplay. While the developers are actively addressing these issues and plan to release updates, many players advise against purchasing until the game is more stable. Overall, the consensus is that the game is quite buggy at present.

    • “If you like your games bug-free and complete, I wouldn't buy just yet, but the developers are engaged and seem to be addressing all the smaller issues very quickly, with more updates planned for the future.”
    • “The game runs smoothly without major crashes, which is a huge plus for my gaming experience.”
    • “I've encountered very few bugs, and the ones I did find were quickly patched, showing the developers' commitment to stability.”
    • “It's also incredibly buggy beyond just the game-breaking overscan problem that the developer refuses to fix.”
    • “It's extremely buggy and a chore to play.”
    • “At the moment, this game is buggy as hell.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its soothing and enjoyable soundtrack, which complements the gameplay's slower pace. Players appreciate the ability to customize volume settings for both music and sound effects, enhancing the overall experience. The combination of excellent graphics and a lovely soundtrack creates a pleasant atmosphere for players.

    • “Stellarhub's soundtrack is lovely.”
    • “The excellent soundtrack and pretty graphics give you something nice to watch and listen to while you play.”
    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “The game has a soothing soundtrack that really sets the pace for the gameplay itself; it may not be a fast pace, but then again this isn’t a fast-paced kind of game.”
    • “On the setting side of things, we have volume control of the music and sound effects so you can customize them to your liking.”
  • replayability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while it offers some challenge and fun for fans of space management and base building genres, it suffers from limited customization options in its random mode. Players feel that the lack of parameter selection hinders the potential for varied experiences, and improvements in random level generation could enhance replayability further.

    • “The challenge is there, as is the replayability.”
    • “No, no start over because replayability is a must!”
    • “The random mode doesn't allow any configuration or selection of parameters, which is a shame; being able to tailor the level to your liking would be a big benefit to replayability.”
    • “The game is let down a little by poor grammar and some issues, particularly with recalcitrant AI, and replayability could be improved with a couple of tweaks to the random level generation.”
    • “No, no, start over because replayability is a must!”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of Stellarhub 2.0 to be excessively tedious, primarily due to the overwhelming micromanagement required for crew and module activation. The need to locate individual crew members and manage numerous tasks is seen as a chore rather than an engaging gameplay element, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game. Improvements in automation and streamlined management features are suggested to enhance the experience.

    • “It's fine in practice, but poorly thought out, awfully tedious management and quite frankly a chore more than fun.”
    • “Having to find all these modules and one by one activate them is tedious; a defense control to activate all or selected defenses would be a massive improvement here.”
    • “Stellarhub 2.0 lacks some basic features that just make it too tedious for me to enjoy.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its amusing graphics and entertaining sound effects, which, while somewhat limited, contribute to an overall enjoyable experience. Players appreciate the game's ability to deliver humor despite its simplicity, making it a top choice at a good price.

    • “The graphics are funny; for a simple game, they have managed to make it look great.”
    • “The sound effects are funny, but a bit limited.”
    • “Top game, good price, and very funny.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been criticized, particularly regarding its user interface and overall usability, which are deemed essential for an improved gaming experience. Users feel that better optimization is necessary for critical processes within the game.

    • “These processes are critical for the game, so it has to be optimized.”
    • “These processes are critical for the game, so it needs to be optimized.”
