The developers could have done so much more here. Essentially the crux of Starsand is the sandstorm, wake up in an alien land, survive, explore the desert, try and find your way back home and that’s about it. The only bit of narrative you get is after every night’s sleep you get a block of text which is confusing and doesn’t build the story well. Story is lacking | There’s not a lot of story here the focus is very much on the survival aspect of Starsand and I would have liked it if there were a lot of story-driven quests and a purpose to move on as you survive the terrain.I have died once spending so long trying to figure out how to navigate the menus because Starsand doesn’t assist in this my character died of cold at night time. Also, when the menus aren’t the most user-friendly sometimes you need that guide early doors to assist you to get into it. You have to figure out how to do a lot of stuff within Starsand yourself as there are no waypoint hints to help you at the start and there are not many tips on how to navigate menus. The tutorial section is just a set of quest goals and doesn’t teach you how to play Starsand. Tutorial | Sadly the ‘tutorial’ doesn’t help you get into Starsand very well and learn much about its mechanics.This reviewer certainly appreciated this. It also has a custom difficulty so if you want the survival elements to be tough but didn’t want any combat. For this review, I played Starsand on Medium so I had a mix of everything without Starsand being too hard and being unable to survive for very long. Ranging from very easy and relaxed with no aliens to combat to extremely difficult with tough aliens to beat and a challenging version of the survival mechanics. Customized Play | At the start of Starsand, it has a very varied options list of how you would like to play. Aliens range from smaller alien bugs to massive monstrosities that you have to fight and overcome.
