Jun 26, 2015  In The Solus Project, due out for Xbox One in 2016, players wander this weird world while keeping track of their vitals and hunting down food and other supplies. It's not about fighting enemies. The Solus Project is a first-person single-player survival video game developed by Teotl Studios and Grip Games. An early access version of the game was released on Steam, Xbox One and GOG in February 2016, and the full version of the game was released on June 7, 2016 on PC and July 15, 2016 for Xbox One.

The game where you get to re-enact The Martian (sort of) is now available on Xbox One Game Preview.

Weapons consist of knives, rings, spears, shurikens, axes, a sword, bow, helmet and shield, while magical spells include fire, ice, thunder, light, wind and other effects. However, some items may be cursed. Some enemies cast spells while others won't attack unless you touch them.You should collect as many items as you can while exploring the castle.

The Solus Project is a 'narrative driven, sci-fi styled, survival-adventure game' as described by its developers, Teotl Studios and Grip Digital.

You are humanity's last hope, tasked with finding a safe haven for a colony. But, due to an unfortunate turn of events, you are the sole survivor of your crew in an alien planet. You must survive the planet's harsh conditions while unlocking the secrets the planet holds that could allow you to save humanity from extinction.

The game in its current preview state will receive regular content updates while the final finished version of the game will be dropping sometime in Spring 2016 on the Xbox One and PC (Steam) for $13.50 and $15 respectively.

Xbox One owners can get access to a free trial right here.

If you are a fan of sci fi survival games, especially those set in space, this is definitely one that you should have on your radar. It doesn't hurt to note that this is the spiritual successor to The Ball, PC Gamer's Action/Adventure Game Of The Year.
