Nov 2, 2019A nice walking simulator that is very boring. The horror elements are out of place and disturb the fun. The animation is also ridiculous.
Why does the beautiful game have to break so bad? -
Jan 2, 2021Close to the sun is a survival horror game that lacks in all areas, borderline walking simulator. Cool idea for great atmosphere. Just another failed horror game.

Dec 5, 2019Close to the Sun is an experience that I enjoyed but I also found myself wanting a bit more out of. The environments look fantastic and presentation was on point. Despite a few technical glitches. And while interesting, the story did fall a bit flat at times and seemed a bit rushed at others. I did enjoy my time with it though and especially enjoyed seeing what could have been possible if history had taken a different route. If you’re into the genre, like alternate history, or appreciate a well done style and tone, then I say go for it. It was a cool trip.

Nov 20, 2019Horror-adventure Close to the Sun pairs an emotionally-engaging narrative with arguably one of the most stunning and memorable game worlds of 2019. Pity about the frustrating gameplay choices and story decisions that ramp up in the final third of the game. They cast a shadow over the accomplishments that preceded them.

Playstation Official Magazine UKNov 18, 2019While the atmosphere, scares, and narrative are successful, the game suffers from sluggish controls and the odd confusing puzzle. [Issue#169, p.96]
