After Us Review - The Final Verdict

  • Опубліковано 22 тра 2023
  • After Us doesn't reinvent the wheel in platforming and exploration, but it offers very compelling gameplay in both areas. The abstract art style is vivid and raw - all over the place, at times, but in a good way, while the environmental story-telling (outside of the Memories) is solid.
    Mild performance hiccups can be annoying, and the combat is mostly fine without being extraordinary. However, if you can face your future failures, it's a somber yet endearing journey down the rabbit hole.

    The game isn't interested in telling you stories about humanity or about the people.
    It's main focus is to show how evil humanity is and that there are no redeming qualities.
    Game is beautiful, runs smooth, and is visually appealing....but I grew tired of the "man is a destructive force" back when Fern Gully did it.

      So what, Gaia decides humanity isn’t worth a second chance and goes home? Honestly though, after all the second chances we’ve got, I’d like a story where humanity just stays dead.

      @@PikaLink91 I guess, but I've judt been hit so many times with the "humanity is bad" message over the past 30 years.
      It is more that this game doesn't even try to be subtle or deep, rather it takes the "all animals are good and humanity has no redeeming qualities" and bashes you upside the head with it.

      ​@@olsongc8422but that's sort of the truth. Like Mr. Smith said to Morpheus, all animals find an equilibrium with their environment. Humans however, they consume and destroy then move onto the next like a virus.

    Looks amazing. I'm not sure if I want to feel the existential dread more than I already do.
    I'll buy it, but I'll see about playing it.

    IMO, this is similar to GRIS, Journey, and ABZU and I have all three.
    It's more about the story and lore while any combat, puzzles, and abilities are just game mechanics.
    I'm no fan of platformers and have somewhat of a disability that affects my hands. IDK how long it is but if the price to length to entertainment to replay-ability is good it might be a good purchase.

      Hi! I read your text and just wanted to tell you that Steam have the game on sale now with 35% off which leaves it now at 19.79 Euros! It's played on a controller or a Steam deck. I just bought it and am about to play! I also have the games Journey, and ABZU. Hope this was helpful!

      IGN only gives good scores to those who pay big bucks, and this seems very much indie. Also, they are dude bros. Shooty shooty bang bang. Platformers are too complicated for their reptile brains.
