Excerpt: "While I could reference games like Risk of Rain, Titan Souls, or Shadow of the Colossus as the ones that came to mind while playing The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human, none of them come as close as Metroid. And even then, it is not an apt comparison. The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human by YCJY is something all its own. It combines fantastic gameplay through exploration and boss battles with teaching a subtle lesson about preservation and sustainability of the resources we have left on Earth."
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.
