"Sol: Last Light" is a student project from Full Sail University in Florida. It's a third person brawler borrowing a little bit from the old "Dark Souls" type of hack/parry etc etc. With a bit of parkour platforming thrown in. To quote the famous chef, Gordon Ramsay, "Excuse me waiter, but I think this is a little undercooked". This third person brawler is riddled with bugs and comes across as quite unpolished... usually student projects from places like DigiPen and Breda don't suffer the same faults, and remember, if that feels unfair to compare campuses, the "developers" here published this up on Steam alongside professionally developed AAA games. We're not here to offer sympathy to developers who weren't equipped to create a great gaming experience, we're the audience. It doesn't matter where a game came from, it matters what it is.

Buggy adventure game that's just not worth it. [b] + voice acting included + free game - buggy - everything feels clumsy - no achievements[/b]

good game but bit buggy

Well, all I can say about this game is that it needed polish. No, not the language, just plain polish. Too rough for my tastes. Of course, this is simply my opinion as a player. Not really a fan of action games tbh. I just want to give this game a shot.
