Aphelion is a 2026 sci‑fi action adventure developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency and created by DON’T NOD, the studio behind Life Is Strange and Vampyr. In this review, I break down what the game actually is—its story focus, traversal‑heavy gameplay, stealth elements, presentation, and whether its cinematic approach pays off.
00:00 Intro
00:38 Plot
01:36 Game Mechanics and Gameplay
04:41 Comparison Games
06:24 Unique Features, Core Experience, Bugs and Performance
08:21 Graphics, Sound and Dialogue
09:26 Sound Examples

If you’re into story‑driven sci‑fi, lonely alien worlds, light survival mechanics, or narrative adventures similar to Deliver Us The Moon or Still Wakes the Deep, this video will help you decide if Aphelion is worth your time.
I cover the core gameplay loop, chapter structure, mechanics, visuals, sound, and overall experience—without spoiling major story moments. By the end, you should have a clear sense of whether Aphelion fits your taste.
