A few years, a few million dollars, and the guidance of a few former Starcraft and Warcraft devs later, new-age sci-fi FPS Stormgate has finally left early access and made its official debut on Steam. The game entered early access just under a year ago, and in that time it's accrued 7,768 Steam user reviews averaging exactly 50% positive.
Last August, production director Tim Morten reckoned the mixed reviews were fine because, "I think for an Early Access game to live up to where StarCraft 2 is today is not a reasonable expectation." He pointed to the "iterative process" the game would see, saying it's "not something we can just get right on the first swing." In fairness, at the time of writing, the game's recent reviews trend a little higher with 232 reviews at 58% positive, so the response is improving, albeit more slowly than the devs had presumably hoped.
