The Solus Project (PS4) Review

The Solus Project (PS4) Review

, , , , , , 0

The Solus Project begins as many other survival games do. You are the lone survivor on an alien planet, bearing the responsibility for finding a new home for the rest of humanity away from Earth. It has two distinct gameplay sections, focusing on exploring the world around you and solving puzzles that pose as obstacles that block your path. A bit of story is sprinkled in between, along with a smattering of horror elements, but it is the two former parts that provide the majority of the gameplay. In terms of exploration, this title has you trying to piece together the parts needed to build a communication tower so that you can get help from anyone passing by. Although it can be exciting at the start to step out into this new world, crafting items, and looking for new equipment, it soon becomes a laborious trek. Eventually, it just seems as if you are exploring just to get the end of the game rather than for any sense of enjoyment.
