Aphelion review: "Life is Strange creator's Uncharted-like sci-fi adventure fails to land"
Aphelion, a sci-fi adventure from Don't Nod, fails to impress with its lackluster storytelling and clunky mechanics, despite beautiful alien vistas and a solid premise. The game's Uncharted-like climbing and stealth sequences are uninteresting, and constant monologuing overexplains the narrative. While it shares DNA with Don't Nod's acclaimed titles like Life is Strange and Jusant, Aphelion ultimately feels devoid of life and fails to live up to the studio's previous successes.
