StarBreak is a game that I really want to enjoy, but it's impossible to look past its glaring flaws. If it was still being actively developed, I could easily recommend it for anyone who enjoys platformers or permadeath MMOs, but it's impossible to know how long the game will even stay operational. However, it is completely free and can be played through the game's website, or Steam, so very little is lost by simply giving it a try.

StarBreak is a free-to-play videogame that anyone’s machine can run, but a lack of substance and mundane gameplay make it feel like a waste of time.
