    Aphelion has a heartfelt story that is well-acted and paced. It falls apart with unfinished gameplay and too many bugs to ignore.

    Aphelion is a fine action-adventure game. I use “action” loosely here as there isn’t that much action, but there is more than we are used to in a Don’t Nod title. With a solid enough story there is enough to get invested in here. But with game play mechanics that faulter more than they work, and a final third of the game that drags on far too long, it’s hard to recommend Aphelion to anyone other than the die hard Don’t Nod fans.

    Aphelion is a game that works better as a narrative experience than as a video game in its own right. DON’T NOD once again demonstrates its talent for storytelling. However, the lack of challenge, its short length, and some unpolished gameplay mechanics prevent it from reaching greater heights.
