The Solus Project

I played through this game with the HTC Vive It's difficult to describe, TSP creates a very deep and convincing atmosphere, like you have been cut off from the rest of the human race and are truly very very alone. Pros - General Atmosphere - The various extreme alien weather events are frickin scary! - Map design and detail - The unfolding story as you explore and learn more is intriguing - Voice acting is good - Satisfying length, took me about 13-14 hours over several sessions (Playing in VR is Tiring) Cons - I was quite underwhelmed with the ending, considering all the work you go through to obtain completion - A pretty hefty amount of Horsepower is required to run TSP in VR, I was able to almost max out the game (With a GTX 1080) but lower tier "VR Ready" GPU's might have some trouble - Using the Teleportation disc shooter thingy to pass into locked areas is way too easy

The Solus Project. Solus 3, I think you're our only hope. *Note: This is a non-VR review. Introduction The Solus Project has a steep learning curve - and when I say learning curve, I mean learning to enjoy playing it. As Solus was an early access title, there's a lingering question about whether or not the game is consistent in quality content throughout. If you ask me about the first 3 hours of the game, I'd reply that TSP is only consistent in tedium, because legitimately nothing noteworthy happens as it starts up. With that said, once Solus puts its major mechanics in place and unveils greater portions of the story, it does offer an engrossing experience. It's too slow a burn, but The Solus Project is a truly original and thoughtfully crafted survival-exploration game at its core. Plot The Solus Project takes place in the mid 2100's, following a cataclysmic event in which a rogue s

FINALLY a game worth playing in VR! If you have the VIVE get this game! I am so sick of games for VR being extended tech demos. This is the real deal, when the rain starts up and then a tornado hits in VR its EPIC!!!! Very scary and enjoyable. This is the first review I have ever written and I have been with steam since HL2 was the new hotness. in short I LOVE this game in VR. I can't wait for more fleshed out games, the tech is there the games are not.... This is a glimpse of the future God Bless You Guys and keep up the good work!!!!

Review is based on the non VR version of the game. I am fascinated by the end of the world topic / exploring a distant alien planet and this kind of ScFi adventure games as such. This game delivers it all in very good quality! I’ve been following its development since 2013 and now I have seen the end! The main objective is to reestablish the radio transmission / call out for help. But this isn’t as easy as it seems at first glance. You have to survive the extreme climate (tornadoes, storms, meteors, etc.) and the deadly/dark secrets buried beneath the surface of this hostile planet. This journey can be done with a female or male character. The world (vast!) setup: 5 islands, 10 levels, 60 locations, 118 secrets and 513 documents to discover, if desired. So make sure that you complete all your objectives, to avoid additional backtracking. Gameplay: First person, main focus is clearl

“Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” ―Arthur C. Clarke http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=687073782 The Solus Project is among the most engrossing games I've played. The creators have clearly put a lot of time and thought into creating this world and its story. While still in Early Access, it is important to note that the current content and gameplay is complete and polished. Regular updates add more content and areas to explore. And exploration is where this game shines. Stranded on an alien planet, with an unstable, volatile weather system, you must survive to make contact with a humanity that has lost it's home and desperately needs a new one. As you search the open-world for parts to build a communications tower and survival goods, as well as try to survive the richly atmospheric weather, you

Excellent game, one of my new favorites for exploration/puzzles in first person. The storyline moves really well, the graphics and textures are on point. The first ten minutes can be a little daunting as you understand how to combine items and how the game's flow is going to be but after that it carries onward. If you aren't interested in storylines you might not find this as good just from a puzzle perspective. There's no combat at any point, either. It plays a little like Amnesia but somehow feels like Portal 2 in terms of the atmosphere. I haven't found nearly all the locations and "secrets" that are in the game yet, as I was driven to complete it and understand the full story. The story itself is something unique and interesting, not much can be said about it without giving too much away though. The controls all made sense and managing health/thirst/hunger/sleep seems daunting at f
