Close to the Sun Reviews

Close to the Sun doesn’t have the most complex gameplay, but it has a genuinely interesting premise that draws you into a darkly intriguing mystery.

Pure Nintendo

Overall, I have pretty mixed feelings about Close to the Sun. I love the setting and the atmosphere, but the technical problems, chase sequences, and lack of story cohesion ultimately left me wanting.

NintendoWorldReport

Taking clear inspiration from the seminal BioShock series, Close to the Sun promises much but delivers a somewhat lacklustre exploration of a world ‘enhanced’ by Nikola Tesla’s fascinating vision. The horror is ramped up with a tense and unsettling atmosphere, but cheap and repetitive jump scares lower the tone and the rudimentary puzzle sequences provide little in the way of real challenge.
