What happens when the greed and apathy of humanity results in the complete destruction of all life on earth? After Us asks and answers this question, having players explore this decrepit, long-lost world devoid of color and hope as the life-giving spirit, Gaia. You're on a mission to recover the spirits of earth's extinct animals to give the planet another chance at kindling life, but you'll have to witness the aftermath of humanity before you can do so.
It's a heartbreaking story, and one that's mostly told through the environments and world. After Us is beautiful but struggles to sell itself purely as a game thanks oft-frustrating platforming and combat, confusing and sporadic level design, and a fair share of bugs and performance issues. This is a game perfect for those who want to take their time with a somber, sad game, but it's not well-suited to the players looking for a new, precise 3D platforming title to occupy their time.
