Amanda French writes: "Do you wish there were more apocalyptic games with an existential examination of society and climate change? Then you should check out The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human, a metroidvania-like action/adventure game by indie game studio, YCJY, who are based in Sweden. The story goes that the player is the last human, returning to Earth after a failed space mission, only to discover that humanity is dead and gone, and the world covered in water. Inspiration for The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human was drawn from such movie classics as Planet of the Apes and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
EB: It's a peaceful week to catch up on some of the year's best offerings in games. This week, I recommend taking a gander at The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human coming to Switch.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "While The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human falls firmly into the Metroidvania camp, its mixture of contemplative exploration and thrilling, massive boss fights recalls Shadow of the Colossus. Aquatic Adventure can't compare with Fumito Ueda's opus—few games can—but it's still a worthy action-adventure game with smooth underwater controls, excellent boss battles, striking production design, and a thoughtful environmentalist message."
Indie publisher Digerati today announced that the award-winning sci-fi metroidvania The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human will arrive on Nintendo Switch on December 25, 2018 in Europe and on January 3, 2019 in North America.
