Dec. 2024

Barely a game, and it even takes control of you at certain points. Failing certain checks funnily also seem to have no effect at all. It's as linear as it gets. No mental effort required at all. It looks nice. Very nice, actually. Performance-wise, though, it's not too optimized. Nevertheless, I'd recommend it for people who, like me, enjoy story rich games. If you want something more than that, leave it alone. I finished it in a little less than 5 hours. 3 crocodiles out of 7.

Oct. 2024

I'm recommending this game only because in my opinion it does have some positive attributes, and for some the positives may outweigh the negatives. However, it was a major disappointment for me. It's probably easiest to review this game in a pro v con manner. pros: -graphical style and atmosphere well thought out and executed. -superb voice acting -sort of, kind of, interesting story -psychologically immersive cons: -clunky, annoying mechanics -repetitive, unnecessary actions needed for unnecessary, irritating "puzzles". -laconic, plodding play style -terrible map presentation and map mechanics -very little actual tension created as the story progresses, which does not work well with the quiet, empty atmospherics. This is probably my biggest complaint, because I love the kind of subtle yet disquieting atmosphere the game utilized, but you'd better be able to produce some narrative tension if you're going to pretty much avoid any action other than walking around. The game didn't need fighting or even complex QTEs, but it most certainly did need a story that got under your skin and started crawling. The game falls flat as a Martian pancake in this regard. -ending is vague and unsatisfying. I really wanted to like this game, because it had many of the basic ingredients of a good, possibly great psychological sci-fi thriller. But the development team obviously doesn't know how to cook with those ingredients. All the gameplay issues would fade away in my mind if the game had been able to produce a sense of emotional connection to the characters and the story, but it did not, and coupled with a fairly tepid story concept and an emotionally deflating ending, this one goes into the bin.

Sept. 2024

Well worth the money spent on the game and as others said, do not expect this to be a game where you shoot things and what not. It is a story driven game in which you investigate, roam around, search, listen to audio logs, watch video logs, back track at times whilst being engaged in the story and being in suspense after a certain part of the game where it ramps up a bit. Just play it, experience it and enjoy for what it's worth as it is a thumbs up from me since I really enjoyed it.

July 2024

First off, it's a walking simulator - if you don't enjoy this type of game, then don't play! Fort Solis looks really great in UE5, but the frame rate is pretty bad without upscaling enabled on your GPU. The story was intriguing to start off with, but has a sort of unsatisfying ending. Suggest buying on sale if you're intrigued.

April 2024

I had a lot of fun playing through this. Maybe this game is a "waling simulator", but honestly it just contributes to the pace the game was intended to have. I enjoyed going through the detailed environments, immersing myself in the world-building done so far (which is expanded on in a sort of epilogue short story the developers linked in a Steam announcement), and the little elements of mystery were also nice. In fact it was a mystery up until the end. Although the reveal wasn't very revealing, upon reflection I realized what's actually shocking is the lengths gone through by the physical antagonist. I won't spoil that, just keep it in mind if you play the game or have already played it. And there were two things funny about this game and how I ended up deciding to review it. First, I had no idea Roger Clark was voicing the main protagonist when I bought this game. A few minutes in, a little confused by the widely different accent, I was like, "Wait. Is this Arthur Morgan?" And it was. About ten minutes in I was so convinced I finally just paused the game and Googled it to confirm. I just initially bought this game because of the Sci-Fi, honestly. The second funny thing is I completely forgot to review this game for several months. The reason why I ended up remembering to write one is that Fallen Leaf actually responded to some comment on some post responding to someone unhappy with the post-release development pace. It was a little weird, especially since I had completely forgotten about it and this so happens to be a time where recent reviews are "mixed". But really I find it hilarious more than anything. This reminds me, I should probably write a few reviews for a couple other games.... Oh! Yeah. Overall 9/10. I suppose the writing could've been done better overall, but obviously they put a lot of work into the atmosphere. That plus the environments and the voice acting are bulking this score up quite a bit.
