In VR - it's incredible.
Graphics for the games age are fantastic.
Slap it on the hardest settings and really get yourself immersed. Engaging story, difficult but rewarding gameplay. Very good survival mechanics, supported by a strong game save structure.

Absolutely adore this game!! Been a big fan of The Ball since it came out, and was so excited to see a spiritual sequel in The Solus Project! Played quite a few hours of TSP back when it released, but I recently got a VR headset and decided to boot it back up and experience it fresh in VR (got a Woojer vest recently as well, so I wore that while playing). OMG what an experience!! Game plays perfectly on my PC and VR controls worked seamlessly with my headset (Quest 3). Did have to move my game files from my hard drive to my SSD in able for the game to run smoothly, but after this it was smooth sailing. So glad I decided to give it another shot in VR, and especially while wearing the Woojer vest!! Soundtrack and environmental effects sound/feel AMAZING in this game, and effectively raise the tension you experience while trying to survive. Such an amazing atmosphere and environment to explore as well, and everything looks crisp and detailed in VR. You can tell this was a passion project, and it’s been a treat experiencing this game again in a new way. Thank you Teotl Studios - I hope to see more unique projects from you guys soon, and your past projects deserve all the praises!

It's been quite some time since I played and finished this but its an experience that has stayed with me and keep thinking back to it from time to time.
I found it to be an excellent immersive experience and enjoyed the world and pacing of progression.

A very good, and much underrated first person survival explorer. You explore a planet of haunted ruins and unravel it's sinister backstory of alien experimentation and species manipulation.
The survival mechanics are plenty tough on your squishy astronaut hero, which probably frustrated the latest gen of wimpy young gamers. But hopefully there will be more additions to this interesting series that began with 'The Ball', and seems to have plenty more creepy alien lore to unfold.

Absolutely phenomenal game. I reminisce often about my first time playing it. The story telling, the puzzle mechanics, the spooky nature. Incredible. Absolute cinema. I cannot recommend it enough.

Really cool game, unique story, might get boring in the middle, but afterwards gets interesting and quite intense.
Would love a second game and/or if it was longer.

Nice exploring game, not too survival demanding, especially on normal. Cool alien planet graphic and story. Exactly my kind of cake.
