I love Star Fox 64, I've replayed the game so many times. I like all the things that were added except the character redesigns, they look weird for sure, and at $50 I'm a bit conflicted on if I'll end up getting this.

I know Don't Nod all too well. That's why Aphelion, even though it's a heartfelt sci-fi narrative, let me down. They are always so close to creating a masterpiece but falter at the finish line. May their next game be the one. My review.

Aphelion Review – Flew Too Close To The Sun

Aphelion is Don’t Nod’s latest ambitious sci-fi narrative adventure. While it does not reach the heights of the studio, it's a commendable effort.

IDK who needs to hear this but the "you have to adjust for inflation" bit isn't the zinger you think it is. Because you'd also have to adjust for inflation in shelter, utilities, medical, insurance, f%&(ing food - and then you'd realize purchasing power has fallen as wage growth hasn't kept up.
