    After Us is much more than a game. It is an ode to second chances and to life. A process of healing from mistakes, and building a better future. If we want to, we can. That is the message that we take with us with Piccolo Studio's title. The exploration and immersion, with a beautiful and outstanding artistic design, make the experience of playing After Us, a memory that will stay with you forever. With a powerful message that will touch the hearts of many and not only Gaia. For all this, After Us is a game that deserves to be played by many and above all, enjoyed.

    Set in a world that died, After Us is a great example of an industrial apocalypse story done correctly — standing strong in its story, visuals, and ambiance that breath new life into the genre.

    Besides being a fun game, After Us also offers a very interesting setting. Some technical problems in controlling Gaia do not negatively affect the experience, making it a recommended game for those who love to visit complex worlds platform after platform.

    After Us serves as a compelling reminder of the far-reaching consequences of environmental neglect. While there are stories to glean through memories, the game is primarily a tactile experience, emphasizing parkour and puzzle-solving over delivering a strong narrative. The game has approachable puzzles and straightforward controls that should be easy for most to pick up. Its engaging gameplay mechanics, stark visuals, and poignant message make for a satisfying puzzle-platformer overall.

    Ultimately, the new Piccolo Studio game, after the excellent Arise: A Simple Story, is another little gem that could delight fans of platform adventures, especially if sensitive to the passionate environmental message that the title tries to convey for the approximately 6/7 hours necessary to complete it. While generally solid, the gameplay shows its side to some critical issues, especially in the combat phases, but the breathtaking artistic direction alone is reason enough to embark on this bittersweet epic.

    I enjoyed this game very much. I love that the narrative is not explicit, that it is told to you through the scenarios and you are the one whoI enjoyed this game very much. I love that the narrative is not explicit, that it is told to you through the scenarios and you are the one who interprets. I don't understand the amount of negative reviews it has received, it's an indie game with a very powerful message and overall, a very different experience to anything else I've played and I loved it.… Full Review »

    This game may not be perfect but the environmental message and beautiful sceneries more than make up for it.
