- Movement - Supports regular locomotion walking and teleporting. For rotating you can pick between room scale rotation, snapped rotation (45 degree steps), smooth rotation, or enable strafing. Movement speed can also be scaled freely.
- High end and huge - This is not a small VR demo or game. It is a massive 16 hour experiences with miles and miles worth of world to explore, and provided you have a powerful machine (980 and up) you can experience it with some of the most ambitious high end graphics tried in VR to date.
TSP is not a pure VR game. It was designed for non-VR gameplay and thus a VR headset is in no way required to play the game. If you do have one, it is an awesome (but different) experience!
VR is work in progress - Currently not implemented: VR Loading screens and Oculus Touch. The intro tutorial is also a bit rough. Everything else works solidly. TSP received a major VR patch July 20 2016 adding VR inventory and crafting among many other fixes, and another one on December 4 2016 adding the Explorer Diary and a range of fixes.

Отзывы пользователей
Loved this game so much I wanted to get it on console as well, but game is no longer available on PSN.
It's not a perfect game, but for me it got a lot right. Large open areas to explore, despite being an overall linear game. Fantastic weather effects, an interesting survival mechanic that borders on walking simulator, and just overall impressive visuals for an alien planet.
The VR experience is purely optional - you don't have to have VR to be able to play it. I've never had VR, and probably never will. I still loved the game.
The weather effects in particular helped to immerse me in the experience. Like the store page explains - there is full day and night cycling, temperatures, winds, tides, quakes and tornadoes. And the ambient music changes in response to changing weather conditions. When you see a tornado approaching, you really, REALLY want to be running for the caves.
It's good to see the game is still available on PC - I'm not completely sure on the reasons why it got pulled from the PSN store page, but this is just another point in favour of the PC Masterrace.
Awesome survival game, you against the elements. A real walkabout. You're forced to walk over all areas to find things, upgrades, etc. appeals to the explorer in me. The constant changing of the weather and temperature keeps you monitoring your vitals so you don't die. And the graphics are just awesome too.
I do have questions about the first aid kit - how do you use it? do you just need to carry it?
Oh, I am on the Oculus 3, running on Steam VR.
I'd give this a neutral review if it were possible. The TL:DR is that this is a well made, atmospheric game with a real sense of exploration, that is let down and marred by poor story telling and an underestimation of the average players intelligence.
Graphically, this game is not going to be winning any awards in 2024 but it's decent enough to look at. Most importantly in this title, is the lighting, which they nail pretty well. The underground depths are pitch black and the darkness beyond your torch is suitably oppressive. Creepy lighting and emotive flashes during midnight storms, all work well to build tension and set the atmospheric stage. The sound and music also do some heavy lifting here too, really setting the mood of the game at any given time. Equally, the story telling paints a sinister mystery that you want to and feel drawn to unlock and if you are like me and enjoy checking every nook and cranny, you'll be well entertained for an average 30-50hrs. Money well spent.
Unfortunately, the narrative falls down halfway through, as the devs have your character make periodic "logs" of his/her findings. These don't always match your own progress in terms of uncovering the mysteries of this planet. So you find your character not grasping the plot as well as you have and this can be quite jarring. The ending is also notably predictable and I feel that they could have done a better job with the ending in this respect. Ultimately it felt a poor finish to an otherwise well told story. This is largely due to the same aforementioned habit of portraying your character as having only a partial understanding of events on this world, whilst you as the player likely know and understand much more of what is going on. You can see the trap your character is walking into but are powerless to affect the outcome because ultimately, you aren't the driving will in this story, you are just a passenger in the head of the character you are playing. It really robs you of the sense of achievement in uncovering the mysteries of the Solus Project.
The Solus Project – A Mysterious Journey into the Unknown 🌌
Stranded on a desolate alien planet with nothing but your wits and the haunting beauty of the landscape, The Solus Project offers an unforgettable experience. This game brilliantly blends exploration, survival, and mystery as you uncover the secrets of this eerie world. The atmosphere? Completely immersive, making you feel the weight of isolation with every step you take.
With stunning visuals, changing weather systems, and a gripping story, The Solus Project keeps you on edge while you piece together the planet’s secrets. If you're looking for an adventure that combines heart-pounding survival with breathtaking discovery, this game delivers in spades. 🌠🔍

Excellent game, but can be scary
I think this game can be fun, I played through it and certainly enjoyed a large portion of it.
If you are like me, who enjoys walking around in a strange world and survive there, this is the game. The story is thin but the numerous journals and other texts made me want to know more and search every part of the islands, wether it be in the burning sun or freezing shadows.
However, as beautiful I think the islands are, the caves connecting them were just not fun to me. That is mostly because I seem to no like crawling in tunnels very much, but the last third of the game, the islands were just too extreme in climate and terrain to stay fun at exploring.
On islands you regularily need to find shelter, usually small caves so you can sleep through the night without being interrupted by the climate. But with the fourth island or so there are less such caves, or at least their number does not grow with the size of the islands, where the temperature range certainly force you to plan more ahead and your trip back.
The caves get worse as well, mostly because you need super-cooling or super-heating items to make it through them. Problem is, while all other temperature-regulating items give off light, these maxed-out ones don't. So you either explore or, well, don't freeze or burn to death. Not both at the same time. That was just not fun for me. Increasing the brightness does not fix it sadly, it just changes pitch black to pitch grey.
To be fair though, you have quite many settings to make the survival aspects easier or harder to you. But I kinda forgot that until now.
I might 100% the first three islands and then put away the game for good.
This game was a fun experience when I first played it, but over the years, tech changes, and older games & software break. The Solus Project has issues created by time. If you're on Windows 11 and can't get audio anywhere besides UI, then you've gotta set your audio device via Windows Volume Mixer.
Absolutely horrific controls for PC; this will be a refund.
Really great world building that they did and interesting concepts. This game is memorable. I don't review games, but I feel like they earned it.
There is a moment that happens 15-1 hour into the game (depending how long it takes you to trigger a couple of events in the game) that changed my life. One of the most terrifying moments I've ever experienced in a video game.
