    Fort Solis presents a thrilling story with fantastic visuals, exceptional voice acting, and heart pounding suspense. What it may lack in mechanical gameplay is more than made up for by really feeling like you are playing a movie. Don't be surprised if you can't put it down and play straight through in a single four hour sitting. I will definitely be checking out Fallen Leaf Studios future projects and Fort Solis has even won me over to the Walking Simulator genre. Don't miss this one.

    Fort Solis is a great game with amazing production quality, there are small optimisation issues, and the pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but the story, graphics, and sound design are all amazing. It has fair pricing without a “premium version” or DLCs.

    Its compelling narrative and sci-fi environment make Fort Solis a welcome addition to the portfolio of thrillers that have sent us into outer space, even if this particular journey punches a little below the best in terms of emotional payoff and scare factor.

    Atmospheric mystery thriller with first-class actors, a great story and unfortunately too little playing time.

    A short-lived yet slowburn sci-fi drama about two engineers exploring a spooky, beautifully designed Martian base that's let down by a general lack of inspiration and especially, a dissatisfying plot.

    I can't with this game, Please for the love of all that is gaming, do not waste your time here unless you are ready to walk around forI can't with this game, Please for the love of all that is gaming, do not waste your time here unless you are ready to walk around for extended periods, getting lost, and dealing with unacceptable performance issues.

    I've been walking around for more than 45 minutes and nothing...

    To put it lightly, this is the Wish version of Starfield.

    Sure the graphics Look Great but what is the point if it can't run at a constant framerate?

    Why put Quick Time Events for no reason or such basic tasks, especially when they are too fast to initiate?

    Who is this game for?

    This should have been a Quick CGI Animation, not a game, to be Honest.

    I'm not even gonna be bothered with rating the different aspects of this game, you will immediately feel a sense that you are not in control of anything in this game. It's just a gimmick walking simulator, where the walking itself is slow and agonizing and the Exploring is hardly rewarding.

    I'm Running a PC with
    - MSI NVIDIA RTX 3060 12G
    - 32 GB DDR4 RAM
    - AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6c 12t

    And this game can't even maintain 60fps @ 1080p With DLSS on Quality, Balanced and Sometimes on Performance mode on, on the High settings.
    WHY? HOW?

    2/10, I'm not going to even attempt to finish this game, if the game in its intro can't even perform well or interest me slightly.
    There is nothing redeemable here, I'm shocked that there isn't even a run button.

    What? Did you guys run out of budget, Do You need some help? Because it would have taken me 1 hour.

    This game makes me fear for Starfield performing badly because this game uses real-time global Illumination. And Strafield, SURPRISE, also uses Realtime GI.
    Will Starfield even run at a Stock 60fps @ 1080p? Probably not.

    That's my review, If you want a walking Simulator just play Death Stranding which in my opinion is better than this game by far or better yet play View Finder, a good Indi-Game that will blow your mind...so yeah, that's all.    … Full Review »
