I have a real soft spot for horror games, and while the traditional settings of haunted houses and graveyards are all well and good, science fiction can make for some pretty tense atmosphere as well. Dead Space and Dead Space two were a couple of my favorite horror titles last console generation (I try to pretend number three never happened) and Solarix has that sort of Dead Space/System Shock vibe aesthetically, if not in actual gameplay. Solarix has some really solid ideas, but it only executes well on some of them.
Gary Hartley says: "In space, only almost everyone can hear you sneak."
All the horror sci-fi game tropes are accounted for, the good and the bad. Solarix is for fans of the genre who wish to ride with the wheel they are used to rather than see it reinvented.

"Although Solarix provides an incredible horror atmosphere with an interesting story and great sound effects, the game fails in other departments like graphics and non-stealthy gameplay. If you can look past those hiccups, Solarix can surely provide you with a decent horror experience and enough jump scares to make it worth your while but there are a lot of better alternatives out there."
