After Us

Wow, what a disappointment. First the shaders thing caused a crash. I had to restart the game twice then. Then during gameplay at the very beginning the game crashed. Three times. I wish I had bought this one on Steam I would definitely be asking for my money back. :( Luckily I got it in a bundle for cheap. Still though, frustrating and disappointing. I will do some research and see if there is any way to get it to play. But if not.... This review will remain the same. Thumbs down.

This game is haunting, beautiful, and terrifying all at the same time. The story is phenomenal and so heart wrenching, the graphics are beautiful, dark and yet strangely hopeful. I loved every second of it right up until I encountered a game breaking bug. Sadly I was unable to finish the game due to a graphical bug in the Ocean level that prevented me from playing the rest of the game. If they ever fix the issue, I would love to finish the game and change my review because the game is genuinely so incredible.

Might be profound if you think classic disney movies are profound. The plot is pretty basic, and unspoken, and probably something you've seen many times at this point: Humanity destroy nature, humanity bad, nature good, blablabla. If you have watched or read any post-apocalyptic fiction (or just some japanese films) you will see absolutely nothing new here. The soundtrack is pretty nice admittedly, and the visuals are good too, if very reptitive (get used to the same couple of floating cars repeated ad infinitum). The gameplay is pretty standard 3d platformer gameplay, with some exploration here and there. And honestly if the game stopped with that it would have been fine, but it puts in this "combat" mechanic that isn't fun to engage with, is really awkward overall, and actively interferes with the flow of the game (plaforming). I stopped playing the game after finally losing patience with this. If you're going to put combat it, put effort into making it work well, rather than spamming the player with rooms full of insta-kill grab enemies, with poor lighting... [u]or maybe just don't have it at all, that would have been better, not every game needs "combat"[/u]. The game is ve…

Like traveling from dream to dream, very surreal and enjoyable.

Creative game with poignant story. Fun exploration. Moderate challenge finding spirits and memories, but the game gives you hints and maps to find it. I really liked this game. Minimal fighting, which makes sense since it's exploration and puzzle game.

If you’ve already played Journey and are now looking for something similar, this is the game for you.
