### 5/5 — Uncertain Until I Played

*2024-09-20*

This game I wasn’t sure if I wanted to download but I’m dang sure glad I did I’m very impressed and glad I got to be apart of the storyline thank you…

### 5/5 — One of the best games i’ve ever played

*2022-07-06, version 1.1.4*

Once played this game probably 7 or 8 years ago and had a blast. Incredibly engaging story. Randomly thought of this game again recently, and decided to redownload and it does not disappoint. Still as engaging and fun as I remembered, and I can’t stop playing it.

Design of the app shows some age, but the writing and choices by far make up for anything slightly clunky feeling. I’m really happy to see people still downloading and playing this game, and hope you guys keep this on the app store forever.

### 5/5 — Super long and addictive

*2021-08-18*

I’m speechless. Wow. How come this doesn’t have thousands of reviews? All the characters are so detailed, there were so many paths… I wish there were more of such games. Splendid e-book and very little woke politics. Top score.

### 5/5 — DEVS READ FOR IDEA

*2020-10-06*

Ok so first off I don’t even know if you guys will ready this comment but here it goes. (And one more thing YOU GUYS ARE THE AMAZING!!! You are my most favorite story making company ever. Anyway I just wanted to say that).
I. Am. A. Huge fan of ‘choice games.’ I love their work I have bought many, (and I mean MANY of their games), but, when I was searching for a new game, I stumbled over a comment that said “Try out Tin Star!” 
And so I looked it up. And oh. My. Gosh. This is THE most underrated game, story, book EVER!!! Like I can’t even begin to describe how AMAZING this game is. 
It is so cheap considering how much content is in this.
Now I finely get to my point...
Please.
Make.
This game... anew! So what I am thinking is that you make this game except it is lime a young guns, billy the kid style game. 
Where you run your own gang and you have to constantly outrun the law. Please please please I will pay as much as you want me to pay. You have stumbled upon a gold mine, (pun intended), if you guys like this idea then please; all I ask is that you comment on this comment and just say anything. Like “thank you for your feedback” and stuff like that.
Anyway I really doubt you guys will read this but if you do... please consider this.

Thank you for you time, and as always stay strong, stay safe.

### 5/5 — This Game is Great

*2019-06-08*

This game is a fun way to spend long car trips or just when your bored. There are so Many Choices That Each ending varies in vastly different ways. My only dislike of the game is that it is to Short and that at one point it seems like you should be able to continue and really want to but then the game ends.

### 5/5 — Amazing. Worth every cent

*2018-12-05*

Most people might be concerned with the fact that there is no word count, considering this is a Hosted Games or Choice of Games story, but I can tell you the story is very detailed, very long, and it is very well written to keep you engaged in the characters and the many choices you can make. Tin Star does a fantastic job at rewarding consistency that sticks with your attributes and also keeps historical consistency for context. Tin star provides plenty of times to level up skills and it’s truly amazing to find how such a simple beginning can turn into the greatest ending. That said, I’d recommend anyone to buy this game and give it a shot. Definitely up there among my top stories such as zombie exodus, and zombie exodus safe haven. Edit: Also has the option to save at every chapter, so you can always restore from your past chapter instead of restarting

### 5/5 — Historically Accurate and Extreme Immersive

*2018-06-09*

I never write reviews for apps but there was no way that I couldn’t for Tin Stars after completing my first play through. This is the BEST cyoa that I have ever read. The story is historically accurate, true to the time period when it comes to interactions with various characters, and the story is simply fantastic. I cannot wait to play this again and again. Definitely worth the money!

### 5/5 — I think this might be the best one!

*2018-05-24*

Omg the characters are so well written... Your choices and skills matter so much! I love this game soooooooooooo much!

### 5/5 — Classic game

*2018-02-19*

Always

### 5/5 — Wow! Great Game!

*2017-07-24*

I'm new to Choice of Games/Hosted Games, but I've recently become obsessed, and Tin Star, along with Choice of Robots, are my favorites so far. In Tin Star, the amount of detail is incredible and the way you can develop your character is really unique for a text-based game. The game is immersive, and you can be whoever you want to be: a corrupt marshal, a fair but firm marshal, a Chinese/American Indian/Female Marshal, a total screw up, a hard-drinker, a man or woman obsessed with piety or the law. The possibilities are not anywhere near exhausted by that list. Get this game. You won't regret it!
