Is Solarix worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Stealth-horror players who want alternatives to direct firefights
- Science-fiction players who prefer exploration and environmental puzzles
- Action players who want to choose between evasion, enemy takedowns, and gunplay
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking constant firefights may lose interest during sections built around hiding, observation, and avoiding detection
- Players wanting a tightly linear campaign may resist levels where progress depends on exploration, information gathering, and self-selected tactics
- Players looking for a relaxed experience may bounce off the horror setting, monsters, and pressure from patrols and detection systems
Our take on Solarix
Players who rely on a single combat method may hit a wall when ammunition must be found and conserved, or when a level instead requires careful movement, hiding, hacking, or puzzle-solving.
What is Solarix?
Solarix is a science-fiction stealth-horror game set after an infection destroys an interstellar research station.
An electrical engineer must contain the disease while facing surviving crew members, monsters, security systems, and a deteriorating state of mind. Across 12 chapters, players explore open-ended levels using weapons, a taser, hacking tools, throwable objects, and environmental interactions. Enemy encounters support several approaches: avoiding detection, knocking enemies out, using darkness, luring patrols, or engaging in combat. The game includes puzzles based on exploration and gathering information, alongside areas ranging from narrow corridors and forests to space stations and underground facilities. Threats include turrets, cameras, sniper robots, and flying drones, with professional voice acting supporting the story.
