Here is a detailed description of Solarix Stealth A.I and its relation with the game-play mechanics:
Solarix is a stealth game, and you can either use "stealth-based combat" or you can even finish the game without firing a bullet but knocking everyone out or you can even finish the game without alerting anyone.
If you like stealth kills, explore for ammo, use your pistol carefully(=combat) and aim for headshots and move around...
If you want to knock out enemies, don't use your pistol, use your tazer, observe their patrol points and knock them out one by one...
If you want to create your own darkness, use your pistol on lights, not on enemies...
If you want to "ghost" the entire game that is also possible, but you'll have to keep an eye your light meter and environment all the time...
If you want to lure enemies around, use throwable objects, not any weapons...
If you are around monsters and get caught, use your pistol to defend yourself until you find some cover/hiding spot...
Further in the game, if you are bored of sneaking around, use your shotgun to blast enemies, but you have to explore around carefully to collect ammo first... - Unique puzzles in that require exploration and information gathering in classic adventure style.
- Wide variety in environments...In Solarix, you'll travel from cramped corridors to vast exotic forests to giant space stations to ominous underground facilities. Each level has its own strategy; each strategy is created by you. Some levels you'll have to run away from monsters, in some levels you'll want to directly confront them. One level will require you explore around in classical-adventure style to solve puzzles, whereas another level will require you to sneak around carefully.
- Rich in-game content – you’ll encounter not just human enemies and monsters but you’ll have to hack your way through turrets, security cameras, sniper-robots and flying drones. There is a different and unique type of enemy awaiting you around every corner.
- Professional voice acting providing lots of depth to background

[h1] Solarix [/h1] [h3] Positives: [/h3] + Good idea + Quite nice almost retro looking graphics + The light and shadow effects + Atmospheric music + Dark and unsettling + Good voiceacting + Quite interesting storyline and storytelling + Some nicely designed areas and space station/ships + Gadgets you can use and two weapons + Gets better towards the end + Achievements + FOV adjuster + Acceptable length (around 5-6 hours) [h3] Negatives: [/h3] - The AI is sub-par and behaves weird and unnatural - The enemy hitboxes and health levels are way off at times - Bugs and glitches - Can get a bit challenging at times because of the above (so dont choose hard difficulty) - The soundscape makes some voices very faint and muffled - 62 fps lock (fix below) - Unstable fps in some areas - Some parts are not as entertaining as the rest - Quite a few copy/paste game designs - Sometimes its challenging to know what to do next to progress [h3] Conclusion: [/h3] This game is quite a lot better than De-Void (set in the same universe) that came a year later. Its much more interesting, more dark and atmospheric. And things make more sense storywise. There are quite a few problems with bugs and the ene…1 found this helpful
I got this cheap on sale. People who like Dead Space, System Shock 1 and 2 will like this game. It has a great haunting space vibe to it. The setting is fun, it does have a lot of jank with the combat. I would get it on sale.
"Solarix" is an interesting attempt at game development from Turkey. Thematically, this is basically a ripoff of Dead Space/System Shock, only much worse than those games. It's also 10 years old, which is a problem. This is one of those rare cases where I wish a game was better than it is, because I think there is room for more Dead Space/System Shock type games. This is a narrative driven sci-fi horror where you wander around dark environments, interact with stuff, kill creepy space enemies. A lot to love. Unfortunately the implementation is a dogs breakfast. Remember "Turkish Star Wars", the laughably bad ripoff of Star Wars from the 1980s? This is "Turkish System Shock", and it's a clunky, unpolished mess made with Unreal 3. It's clunky, hitboxes are vague and messy. You'll clip through some things and get stuck on invisble floor boxes. Level design is a mess and the game boils down to a rather tedious exercise in wandering around, finding the switch, flipping the switch, and questioning your life choices. On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately the…
Solarix is a science-fiction stealth horror game that attempts to combine psychological tension, survival horror, and immersive stealth gameplay inside a collapsing space station filled with paranoia, infection, and isolation. Developed by Pulsetense Games and Playstige Interactive, the game clearly draws inspiration from classic sci-fi horror titles such as System Shock 2 and Dead Space while incorporating stealth mechanics reminiscent of older immersive simulators. Rather than focusing on nonstop action or cinematic spectacle, Solarix emphasizes vulnerability, careful movement, and atmospheric storytelling within a dark futuristic setting where survival often depends on avoiding danger rather than confronting it directly. The story follows Walter Terrace, an engineer trapped inside a massive research facility after a catastrophic outbreak devastates the station and transforms much of the crew into hostile creatures. The remaining survivors operate under fear and suspicion while the entire station slowly descends into chaos. As Walter explores the facility searching for answers and a way to survive, the game gradually reveals conspiracies, psychological instability, and the conse…
