What people are saying
Updated nightlyAphelion, DON'T NOD's sci-fi adventure, looks gorgeous, and its story about rescuing a partner resonated with most. The overall reaction is lukewarm, though, because the core gameplay is a major letdown. People slammed the clunky mix of traversal, stealth, and action, and the performance, especially on PC and Xbox, is described as a broken mess. It's a game that feels like it's fighting you, making it hard to recommend even with its strong presentation.
