This gives new meaning to “walking” sim. The movement speed is brutal.

This is the second time that Roger Clark is the protagonist in a game with forced walking speed sections.

Okay so this is game fine but the Order 1886 was garbage? Honestly I loved The Order 1886 sure it was over priced for what it was but I really enjoyed the story and it definitely has more engaging gameplay than Fort Solis. I also love that this game is NOT horror. I love a good scifi story but not a fan of anxiety personally. If you like this game then you have no reason to shit on The Order 1886 without actually trying it. Fort Solis seems like a graphically better Telltale game with less decisions and I think that's perfectly fine.

Knowing its not a horror game is sad. I was expecting some type of enemy following me or stalking me.

It was an ok game, great graphics, unstable performance on PS5. My biggest issue was the story, I still have no idea what happened to those people😂 You HAVE to watch ALL the videos in the rooms, otherwise nothing will make sense. The problem is that the game guides you in such a way that you'll miss a lot of videos if you don't backtrack. TBH for a narrative focused game the design is a bit lacking.

Did you review on console or PC as I am seeing guys comparing about bugs

I'm currently playing Red Matter 2 on PSVR2, and now I can't help but think this would also be terrific in VR.

Arthur Morgan in space. Nice 👍

For space and scififan like me this Fort Solis looks awesome game. 😮

I think a 'movie mode' in narrative games like this should be a staple.

If you pay very close attention you might notice that Troy Baker is in this game. It’s very subtle so it’s very hard to notice 🤪

I disagree on the 'movement' speed comments. The slow movement speed is actually what makes the character & game appear cinematic. He walked at a reasonable pace like a human engineer. If the character ran around the environment like Aloy from Horizon then the game environment would have seemed tiny and the character would look fake. Remember that the characters are in space suits. If Characters move slow then games can be made look more realistic. It's like an alternative to RPG. Walking slow around a small space station makes it seem bigger. If I could sprint across it in 60 seconds then the I'd need to be a super hero or someone like that

Love sci-fi and don't mind walking sims with a good story but...still on the fence with this one.

Its coming to xbox?

Reminds me of jason bournes martian. Being alone in space is always an interesting concept

I wish it wasn't so short

it's ON SALE ON steam now.... not a good sign

Reminds me of Deliver us the Moon and the Mars sequel.

It's too short for the price but it looks sick

What the Hell?, Why is white noise in the background of the whole video?

but is the game scary,? for all the story narrative part your talking about i have no idea what im doing? is there ghosts, aliens, monsters, what is there to be scared off, or is that the entire games premise

Either I buy it now though I won't be playing right away as I'm currently playing two more games and on the 31st I'll be starting my BG3 playthroug in PS5 or wait for the physicall release which is 10€ more. Thoug I'll be still be playing BG3 and starting playthroughs in Lords Of The Fallen, Spider Man 2, Alone In The Dark & Alan Wake 2.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I played this on PC. !!!Spoilers Ahead!!! Before I go on to criticize the experience, I want to acknowledge how truly amazing it is that this was created by a team of only 20 people. That said, the game suffers from multiple flaws that could easily have been remedied. First of all - WALKING SPEED. I can forgive clunky movement, but the walking speed in this game is CRIMINAL. I'm assuming this was a design choice meant to slow the player down (since it's a very short game) while adding an element of suspense. In effect, all this does is make exploration extremely tedious. I wanted to explore the beautiful environment, but instead found myself heading straight for objectives because of how slow I walked. A brief walk across the room to look at an interesting desk could take up to a minute or more of simply walking. Additionally, there is no inspect option, which is a shame because they created such a detailed and atmospheric environment. Adding an inspect/zoom-in option would have significantly slowed down the pace of play and made movement feel much less clunky. I bet I would have added at least 40 - 60 minutes to my playtime if an inspect option was added. The quality of the map further compounds this slow movement speed issue. My player location never showed up accurately on the map. I'd find my "current position" marker, walk a few meters, and the marker wouldn't change position. This made it incredibly difficult to plot a course. There were times when I walked for 20 minutes just to figure out where I was in relation to other buildings/objectives. I'll say one last thing about the movement speed. Whenever I play a game that locks me into walking speed, I can't help but sigh. It has to be one of the laziest forms of game development at the expense of player enjoyment. There are so many other techniques to lengthen playtime if your game is short. One that comes to mind immediately is backtracking. This would have been especially useful as this game utilizes keycards. You bet your ass I'm coming back to that LVL 5 room once I get the keycard access. Graphically, the game is beautiful. The A+ quality of facial animations, combined with top notch voice acting, create an incredibly cinematic experience. This is where the game shines. The graphics and voice acting both contribute to the narrative power of the game. However, this narrative or storytelling aspect of the game is also hampered. I played every voice recording and watched every video in the game, and I'm still not sure I fully understand the story. As far as I can tell, Helen was trying to cultivate plants on Solis and her growth formula was causing aggressive behavior and tremors in her colleagues. I THINK that's what was going on?!? To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if that's the complete picture - the game doesn't really do a good job of explaining the story. I found myself kind of confused. Why was no one listening to the complaints? Why did he feel like he had to kill everyone? Who knows!?! I also found the button prompts for combat scenes happened WAYYYY to quickly. I think I missed like 90% of the button prompts, which SHOULD have been an issue, except I'm pretty sure you could miss every single prompt and it wouldn't effect the story in any way. This is a BIG flaw. Why add a mechanic if it's essentially useless? I understand this game wasn't meant to have multiple narrative pathways, but making button prompts matter could have significantly impacted the game. For example, if I hit every correct button prompt, let me save Jessica. Overall, I enjoyed the game, but I thought it really suffered from these mistakes.

I would buy it, but I can't find a copy.

I like the way that in American productions the 'baddie' always has an English accent!

I really hoped it would be a horror experience. I love the environment and atmosphere. But with no enemies or threat. I can’t see myself picking this one up.

Just played my 1 hour Trial. Liked it, but won't be splashing out the £25 asking price. Will play it again 'if and when' I cn get it for free or on sale.

Sci-fi stories that start with a distress call never end well... ask Ripley

It's psychological thriller, don't expect an alien horror story.

Can anyone explain me the story of fort Solis spoiler alert i don't get why Wyatt killed his own crew care to explain why

As of writing this it has 7 negative reviews out of 7 reviews on Steam, mostly citing technical problems. Hopefully the PS5 version is (yet again) better optimized than the PC version. I'm a sucker for space mystery/horror so this is a must play for me.

They need to fix the grainy/noisy shadows... illumination artifacts... Sometimes Its very distracting.

but what is the game about? Is it scfi horror? Is it scfi mystery? Is it a scfi zombie or ghost game? Thriller tells me nothing other than atmospheric mood - lol. Ty.

Man! The trailer was hype inducing, but it was the horror aspect which garnered my hype. That’s unfortunate; it still looks interesting.

Feels so heavy the character

More competition for Redfall and Gollum

Save your money, the story is utter garbage and its all linear with no way to affect the outcome. Go watch a walkthrough its literally the exact same as if you'd spent money

Look just like calisto protocol without combat

I played it on my ps5 and I really enjoyed it, i understand why some might feel a bit disappointed or not what they were thinking it would be, but i liked my experience of slowly searching thru a spooky station on mars trying to piece the story together of what happened with collectables as I like to search rooms top to bottom, loved the little banter between the main character and his partner on the radio too, hope this gives some help to anyone thinking of trying it, and if you do I also hope you enjoy it :)

Walking Sim games were a mistake. If you want a "cinematic" experience at least add some gameplay mechanics like choices and paths (like Until Dawn) or add some puzzles and dialog trees (like Telltale games). DOn't just waste time with walking.

So basically its still a walking sim. :-( Well at least its 3rd person. I'll give it a try later.

rtx 4090s will soon become 1440p GPUs when more of UT5 games start to roll out .. My rx6800 is burning with 99% GPU usage giving maybe 50fps avg on 1080p..

Walking taken to next level

Whatever's causing this background hiss in the audio throughout needs to be dealt with - or the hiss filtered out - before releasing videos; it's tickling my tinitus.

That walk…. 🤠

no replayability?

When will until dawn will release for pc 😢

I had high hopes for this one , guess I’ll add it to calypso protocol in my list of sadness 😂

A very bad if non-existent optimization,along with Immortals of Aveum,this game needed more polish and work before the release,hope the patches will improve the situation

Absolutly loving it. One od my favorite games is Horizon zero dawn and why i love it isnt the combat or robots. Its finding lore. I love lore games. Could play a whole game about uncovering mysteries and never get tired

1:42 I tend to skip games with a slow start biomutant and forsaken

No 21:9 support - and it won't be patched either, as the developer announced today on Steam. Welcome to 2023 🤦‍♂

It appears to be an interesting game. According to the reviews , it has problems and some very poor reviews, too short is one of them.

crashed within first 10 mins. got a refund but will try it again after they fix it

This seems like when you are mashing A/X in RDR2 while walking through the camp to pick up the bags that lazy bollix Pearson should have got instead of writing lies to his auntie, ONLY thing wrong with RDR2 was that slow camp walking, i mean why make it so bloody slow?!? This game looks like the people who did that part wanted to make a sci-fi version, Starfield is actually pretty bloody good if you can ignore the mordern day identity politics, Baulders Gate 3 though, what a game, i don't even like CRPGs except for Disco Elysium but Baulders Gate 3 is the best game I've played in a long time, Everspace 2 is also absolutely epic so save your money and get one of those.

Tbh the game is amazing but sad tho I like it lot amazing game

Troy baker is awesome.

No base building?

This looks like a masterpiece.

QTE the game.

Steam reviews looking pretty rough, my man... I'll wait till it's $10 or less.

Solis is amazing, i like the little action and more story, its a nice change

This what we have to play to see good graphics. Play a walking sim

looks like a great game something i would be interested in even though there is no combat but movement and movement speed and resposivness has to be there as well even if it is no more than a walking sim the movement has to be smooth not frustrating. so i am going to check out some more videos but i think its a pass for me.

8/10 for this ? come on, it's more like a 4/10, this is the expected level of PC developer now a days, forced to slow walk, runs at 40 FPS with a 4090 lol

Played like 2 hours,damn,its rwally boring,draging..

Troy Baker (what will he bake?)

Definitely getting this 😎

should have put in combat and actual fun gameplay segments we don't care someone famous got more money to make garbage for blind consumers to buy the gaming industry is going downhill fast rotting from withing from corporate big head greed and cash grabs they sell everyone on good graphics its ridiculous

Have no idea what this guy played it on BUT if you are on pc DO NOT PURCHASE or wait until the problems are addressed as it's pretty much a shitshow. In its current state the game is unoptimized with low framerates and constant crashes even on ok hardware I9 13900K using a 4080. If he said he ran into no real technical issues it was on a PS5 or just straight up full of crap TBH. Since this really has no gameplay to speak of, I would just suggest that you watch a playthrough on KZfaq and save yourself the money.

3rd!

4 to 5 hours of game play. I think I'll just watch a playthrough on youtube

And yet on Steam it has a lot of negative reviews.

I thought we were done with these "interactive" narrative experiences (I refuse to call them games). Why don't these people just make a movie or miniseries?

Definitely not worth $30. Bucks. Was good but could of played something like this on phone. Kinda disappointed.

Forced walking speed is a dumb way to make the game last longer. I won't be buying it any time soon.

Great premise and atmosphere awful execution the slow pace kills the game I got about half way through and realised the pace wasn’t going to pick up and switched off instead opting to search up the story on KZfaq

Is this a horror game? Are there threats?

Apparently the framerate is also "cinematic" Getting tired of games that are chugging on 1000$+ GPUs.

Another modern boring soulless game, where most of what u do is walk around. The modern popular DNA of modern games is not fun at all. Modern gameplay feels like doing chores to get to the next long cutscene or dialogue. They dont invoke any desire to touch them again after completion. Literally one and done, and they aint even fun...smh 😩

Is this early access? As great as the setting is, the story seems to literally have no payoff. This is probably the most pointless game I've ever seen.

I enjoyed it but those QTE were a bitch lol

nice

Setting aside the visual quality, which is fantastic, the story ends up being vague and hollow. You never confirm that either the Doctor or Botanist is wrong or right. What the player is left with is two maybe murderers and two maybe hero's. Not... that... impresive. I'd be happy to die, if it meant saving the world. I'd be happy to take a life, IF it meant saving the world. What we are all left with is a big dud, nothing. Vague insinuations and hints, nothing more. Was the Doctor doing the right thing ultimately? Don't know. Was the Botanist able to sort out the problem and come through with a solution, the reason she fought so hard to make it to the door when you find her? Don't know. I have seven words for players: dull, boring, and not worth your time. It's not worth mine, even as short as it is, at about three hours of game time. I think I'll pass and go play old-school Dead Space instead. I already own it and, it's way better for story. I can take lesser graphics quality if the story is that much better. At least after three games, two (I think) anime movies, and a massive fan base, Dead Space earned the right to end on an ominous, but vague, note. This game earns jack-squat, to play that kind of vague ending off.

It’s better than Firewatch but not as good as Detroit: Become Human

45 hours long is a brief experience

It's barely a game. The quick time events have little to no impact on the story. On some of them, you can miss all the buttons and the result is the same. It is scripted crap.

This is the perfect kind of game for me. Definitely buying this💯👌

It’s absolutely awful just finished it now, looked amazing from the trailers probably one of the worst games ive ever played. Lazy game design and the multiple endings are decided by QTE’s, so no you can’t decide through gameplay what ending you want. No amount of voice acting justifies this awful game. Hopefully steam refund comes through 😂

It's a peace of shit that just looks good,

This game legit made me fall asleep what a disaster of a game but to all my gamers out there who complain about game graphics this is a example of how that's useless

On 10700k@5GHz + RTX3090ti in 1080p runs at 55 fps. Another crappy release 😂

Just 45 hours long? What a stupid thing to say

So basically Black Mirror in space

I think this game is just Showcase of ps5 tech nothing else

Seems more boring than compelling, imagine if this game was $70, jeez ehk aww man heartburn

The game is a PoS

Don't trust the rating! This game is a real waste, the worst I've played this year. Stupid plot, bugs that break puzzles, characters that take terribly long to do everything (walk at the speed of a turtle). Also, disgusting map and optimization. I swear this trash is worse than Gollum to me. I can't believe that all the amazing work of artists, designers and actors ended up in the hands of such a terrible "director and screenwriter"

The fact that you can't run is this game is so irritating 😂😂😂😂

Perfect example of why graphics and technology advancement are not everything. Man this game looks sooooo boring.
