If there's one thing that Fort Solis understands, it's that the worst horrors are not supernatural: they are man-made. Combine this idea with the unforgiving environment of space, and you have the perfect setup for a classic sci-fi tale. Set on Mars in the year 2080, Fort Solis sees you play as Jack Leary - an employee of a large mining corporation called Terra - who is called away from his engineering work to investigate an unusual manual alarm at a neighbouring base. Naturally, this occurs just as some massive Martian storms are due to hit, ensuring you won't have any assistance from the outside world for quite some time. It's a great premise, and Fort Solis initially builds up some wonderful tension as Jack starts poking around the eerily-quiet facility. As things get more serious in the later stages, however, things begin to unravel - both in terms of the story beats, and the slightly messy way the game delivers them.

Early on, Immortals of Aveum gives the whole game away. During one of many, many expository scenes with General Kirkhan - played here by a committed Gina Torres, of Destiny 2 and Suits fame, who is if nothing else wonderfully game - you, the hero Jak, are told that you're special. This is because you're a Triarch, which is a kind of Magnus (Immortals of Aveum loves a proper noun, brace yourself), only better: while a regular magic wielder must commit themselves to one of three "colours" of magic - red, green, blue - a Triarch can tap into all three.

Why are Xbox Series X/S expansion drives so much more expensive than PS5 equivalents - and should Microsoft put pressure on its suppliers to drive prices down?
