Surviving the opening hours requires patience, as evidenced by a steep climb from 22 percent positive feedback in the first two hours up to 91 percent among veterans with over 25 hours logged. Across 307 reviews since launch, Stars Reach holds a mixed reception at 56 percent positive, driven by a grand sandbox vision that currently fights against heavy technical turbulence.

Will it be good in five years? Maybe, but this wasn't ready for EA yet. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 1 h played18211« Cant even see my character while playing, run poorly, a lot of bugs sill not even good in early acces seems like an alpha »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 1 h played5« Just found out to own a base in game you will need to pay a sub on top of buying the game. Non subbed players will not be able to own their own base. In a survival crafting building game. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 4 h played6221« This game has some serious stuttering / performance issues and doesn't feel remotely close to playable, not for $30.
