Stellar Stranded

I had a good time playing it. I enjoy a nice stealth game every now and then.. and Stellar Stranded definitely delivered! One of my favourite mechanics is the instinct. It's satisfying and helpful to use (if you've played Hitman, you know exactly what I mean). Just keep in mind that it's disabled on hard mode, so you will have to rely on your own awareness entirely. The levels might look easy at first look, but they quickly prove otherwise.. each new level is better designed than the last (though the finale is the best imo). And the enemies aren't brain-dead at all, you actually need to plan your approach and move carefully. Considering this is studio's first project, I'm overall pretty impressed with how polished the whole gameplay feels, it's really smooth and easy to get immersed once you start playing. Just remember to hold E during parkour sections rather than press spamming it. If you got some free evening and are looking for a fun stealth game, I'd recommend giving this game a try. Solid 8/10 is a fair score.

Stellar Stranded delivers an enjoyable sci-fi adventure with a strong focus on stealth, and parkour. Exploring the alien world feels rewarding, and navigating the environment while avoiding enemy patrols keeps the gameplay engaging. The soundtrack does an excellent job of setting the mood, making exploration even more immersive and helping bring the mysterious world to life. While there are a few rough edges regarding the controls, the overall experience is highly enjoyable and well worth checking out.
