there are some interesting things going on here unique setting and a more "realistic" take on space horror but its let down by just some terrible cliches of the genre a very slow walking simulator with meaningless QTEs that end up taking away any tension in the story tries to build up also some of the writing is just kind of cliche full "relatable" humor and generic one liners "...we never stopped to ask if we should" "the things we do for the ones we love" corny ass lines that feel so undeserved as well most of the story details are in audio files and video files within in the game world ala BioShock and every game ever since then but the game will constantly interrupt as soon as you do anything so if you wanna actually absorb this information you have to just stop playing and listen to it which does not make for good pacing in what is already such a short game
As a die-hard The Order: 1886 defender (surprisingly short, but pretty and exciting), we expected to like this one! Space horror was already our jam, but a space thriller? That was an exciting prospect.
Unfortunately, the lead actor's performance sounds like shit, movement speed is abominably slow, and you more or less know how everything's going to turn out from the box art + the knowledge that Troy Baker is the biggest name on the box.
There's other, better narrative games set in space that you could be playing instead. Hell, we'd put ADR1FT over Fort Solis, and that game bored us to tears!

its so slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Great atmosphere, interesting environment. Slow walk speed and quick time were annoying.
A walking sim with great atmosphere, writing, and acting, but the plot ends up feeling unexplored by the end. The walking speed is atrocious and there isn't much gameplay to be had.
