Fort Solis (PS5)

Arrived on time in good working order, great experience!

This game is short but sweet. The graphics are great and I love the banter between the characters. You’re investigating the loss of communication at the base. Was there an accident, a power outage, or maybe zombies? Play the game to find out more. I guess some would call this a walking simulator, but it’s much more than that. There are collectibles to find, but they’re limited. That helps with replay value if you’re a completist. You can finish the game in under four hours and there are multiple endings. There are also a few quick time events, which caught me off guard. It was a fun ride and I’ll be replaying it again.

So I bought this game and did not realize at the time that it was going to be completed in 4 hours. The graphics are stunning and well done. The story is engaging and draws you in but the replay ability for this game is low. There is a few QTE's for some combat interactions but I felt like if you were not anticipating them it was failed before you even knew what was happening. Even failing them does not seem to have any affect on the story line. There is no run or jog in the game so you are walking every where slowly. That is probably the most annoying part of the game. Is it worth $34? I might have waited for $25.

If you are a gamer where you need constant action and explosions, then I'd say skip this. It's not for you. However, if you enjoy deep narrative and mystery, even at a slow pace, then definitely pick this up. Yes, you will be walking throughout this entire game. There isn't much in terms of gameplay aside from walk here, read this, find that. I wouldn't even call this an exploration game. This is a narrative driven game where you are investigating from beginning to end. Think of it as an interactive movie. Though it is short, it is wonderfully acted with incredible graphics. So, if you'd like to play something a little different and maybe a little slower in pace than any game ever, then give Fort Solis a try. Personally I loved it.

This game really shows off the graphics potential of the PS5 and is a very addicting experience. However, this game is really short and there is not a lot more to do once you have beaten it. I would compare this game to a 4-6 hour film that you can control. It can have replayibility, but it's probably something you might play only once a year or every 2 years. Other than that, it was a great game. I just wish it was longer.

Good cheap price and an interesting mystery story, if you like sci-fi and a horror mystery then check this game out.

Not too bad and a slow burn. Wish there was some replay value, but once I was done. No going back.

Fun game.
