FORT SOLIS INSTAL THE NEW FOR ANDROID PC

In an environment where video games are taking longer to ship – more complicated to construct and more expensive to produce than ever before – Fort Solis seems like something of an aberration.

For a story told so primarily through found-footage and email exchanges, this lack of approachability is problematic. I found the map to be so small when viewed from the wrist-based screen that it was rendered inoperable, while collected text-based exchanges forced me to strain to discern the words on the page.

It's a nice touch with an inherent flaw – particularly those playing on PS5, and sitting further from the screen than a PC player might with a monitor. Fort Solis employs a diegetic user interface, where maps, text logs, and surveillance tapes are all presented in-universe. This drive towards immersion has other drawbacks. I wonder whether this is down to a desire to promote immersion above all else, or an attempt to get you to slow down and appreciate the static vision of a world wrought by the violent sand storms of Mars. It's difficult to ignore the treacly turning circle and stiff camera control when so much of the experience is focused on building forward momentum. By offering such stringent points of interaction within the world, emphasis is drawn to the limitations with a harsher focus. The largest problem with Fort Solis then is one of refinement.
