    It's a great example of an amalgamation of movies as games. Since it can be played with multiple people making choices it adds a bit to the "game" part. The story was enjoyable and having multiple people invested in deciding choices really helped pull you in. As a single player experience I think it would loose something, but if you enjoyed the movies it is a must have addition to the lore.

    For those expecting game play or complexity you will be disappointed. This is nothing more than a movie with the capacity to change some of the direction and ending. With a social element it could prove to be enjoyable with the aggregate of multiple people determining the outcome of actions.

    Some of the decisions are challenging both morally and emotionally - this is an interactive movie and as such this is how I rated it.

    A butterfly effect, multiple pathway game this is not. There are others that do the mixing of gameplay into the interactive movie genre much better than this and if I was going to compare and rate this as a movie/game hybrid it would have scored much lower but as a pure interactive movie it does well in my opinion.    … Expand

    Overall, I believe that this decision-based game has been developed with multiplayer in mind and I feel that is where you will get the value for money with this game. Yes, you can play single player, but I feel that the true excitement from playing this game is not knowing how it will end despite making decisions. That is truly taken out of your hands when you add more people in to theOverall, I believe that this decision-based game has been developed with multiplayer in mind and I feel that is where you will get the value for money with this game.

    I really enjoyed this "game." I am a huge Planet of the Apes fan, and being able to get a new story about this world, and play (an admittedly minor) role in shaping it was pretty awesome. This is similar to a Telltale game. The biggest difference is that there are even less quick-time-events (which I'm ok with). I sat back, experienced the story and added a bit of input.

The biggest difference is that there are even less quick-time-events (which I'm ok with). I sat back, experienced the story and added a bit of input. While I understand that this would be offputting to many, it was right up my alley. I like story driven games, and this is even more like a story driven experience than game. Almost like reading a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' book, I'll snatch these type of 'games' every time.

    Update: Since I have now Platniumed this game I'll give an additional bit on to my review. I still really like this game. If you are not a completionist, this is a great addition to the PotA mythos. The first playthrough was very engaging and enjoyable. After that it was quite a slog getting through all the various little bits to get to 100%. This doesn't take away from the story and game, but it certainly reduces the replayability.    … Expand

    I'm really a big fan of this franchise, the new one that is. So naturally I bought this. I liked it, seems a tad overpriced but other than that it was definitely cool. I don't remember it being very long though which is definitely a shame. My main take away from this game though, GIVE US MORE PLANET OF THE APES GAMES! And please, make them good.

    A thoughtful pick-you-own-post-apocalypse worth taking your time to mull over. However, meaty moments of drama are derailed by rouge banana peels. [Jan 2017, p.91]

    You're better off just watching the movies. [Issue#196, p.86]

    Barely interactive, and fails to capture the suspense and nuance of superior games in the genre. [Jan 2018, p.65]
