The Solus Project Reviews
If you have been looking for a reason to dust off that PlayStation VR headset, then don’t miss this game. The Solus Project came crashing down onto PSVR to show developers how to really utilize the system.
This is what the game does best, it gives you a definite sense that you are alone, things are dire and, if you fail, mankind fails with you.
The Solus Project is a moody title that blends exploration and light survival with stunning graphics and voice acting that is out of this world. Though exploration is a key driving factor in The Solus Project, the real gem is in the audio design; muting the game and running throughout the wet environs of Gleise-6143-C is a completely different (and worse) experience. While the map and littered lore are core bits to The Solus Project, the audio is what makes this a title that many gamers will thoroughly enjoy. Unfortunately though the strange mix between light survival, exploration, and moody lore-driven walking simulator means that while each genre is individually a strong case for a solid game, but together they seem muddied as the game progresses.
A fun survival simulator on an alien world filled with secrets, only let down by a lack of focus and small immersion breakers that build up over the course of the game.
The Solus Project may not be at its best with the PSVR, but the game is worth playing in its standard mode on the PS4 thanks to the solid story that is wrapped around this survival/crafting game.
