I enjoyed the story and the gameplay. The difficulty is optimal. It's not too easy and not too hard. It's not too short. Most games around this price point last only a few hours. This one lasted almost nine hours. This is a version of the "Solarix" game that is based on attacking instead of avoiding. I hate games that force me to sneak around enemies, so I chose this version.

I have not played through the original game "Solarix", but got this on sale , it did look interesting and I heard it was a horror story driven combination of Deus Ex, System Shock 2 and Thief, all great titles. I can see the attempts made by the developers to make this more of a action based FPS...the game is certainly playable but only OK and as such it lacks alot of polish with the gunplay. It can also be buggy when reloading a save which is checkpoint based. The hit detection is very unreliable, the weapons laughably inaccurate and some gunfire, when actually accurate, will go straight through the enemies you face, and it also seems to have a very short range for ballistic weapons. Possibly this was intentional by the developers to make you engage the enemies at medium to close range only, to ratchet up the tension that way. The Sniper Rifle is long range but it is not given every mission. The assault rifle can launch small grenades, but the grenade accuracy is terrible and random and hard to use effectively. The shotgun seems underpowered and woefully inaccurate even at close range and while enemies flinch when hit hard enough , the melee enemies do not react convincingly to he…

I am recommending this game, but there are a few asterisks on that. I like this game because of the atmosphere. I love it. It's so oppressive and dark. The premise of the story is another thing I like. Now onto the bad. Anything regarding the gunplay is crap. Guns are inaccurate, enemies come in only two varieties: run at you full speed and slowly walk towards you while shooting their inaccurate guns. The two weapons you will use the most, the assault rifle and the shotgun, are the two worst in the game because of their inaccuracy. This means that you have to get close to enemies to damage them, yet that also meant that they can hit you. And the gun enemies can shred you if you led them. The only saving grace is that Med-pack are EVERYWHERE. By the time I finished the game, my entire inventory screen have pretty much nothing but Med-packs, without hyperbole. The Gun sounds are also pretty unsatisfying and the movement often feels pretty slow. Pretty discounting for an FPS. Another small problem is that the music/ambient noise can easily overpower the dialogue. Yet I am still recommending it, because of pretty much everything other than that. It might have something to do with…

intriguing, but has issues and is too difficult.

Reframed, developed and published by Playstige Interactive, is a first-person sci-fi horror shooter that reinterprets the universe of Solarix through a far more action-oriented lens. Rather than focusing on stealth and tension-driven survival mechanics, this title leans into retro-inspired gunplay and fast-paced combat. Set aboard and around a doomed research facility overtaken by infection, the game casts players as a hardened soldier navigating hostile corridors, alien landscapes, and overrun installations in a desperate fight for survival. Its ambition lies in blending old-school FPS sensibilities with atmospheric horror, creating a hybrid experience rooted in nostalgia. The core gameplay revolves around direct combat. Players are equipped with a range of firearms including pistols, automatic rifles, sniper weapons, and heavier artillery. Movement is straightforward and deliberately reminiscent of classic shooters—forward momentum, quick turns, and enemy encounters designed to keep players constantly engaged. The level design spans multiple distinct areas, including claustrophobic corridors, abandoned research complexes, and open planetary terrain. These environments aim to evo…
