"Fort Solis: A Hauntingly Beautiful Spacehouse with a Lackluster Story - The Final Verdict"
TL;DR Summary
Fort Solis is a creepy but seldom scary mystery-horror game set in an abandoned spacebase, offering a well-conceived and visually impressive setting. The game lacks combat systems, unscripted threats, and puzzles, focusing instead on quick-time events and audio/video diaries to progress the plot. While the voice and motion performances, character art, and animation are commendable, the plot reveals are dissatisfying, and the game fails to explore its themes in depth. The QTEs are unengaging, and the overall experience feels slightly aimless. Fort Solis is best enjoyed for its hard sci-fi environments and well-acted backstory, rather than as a horror game.
