Critic Reviews for Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier
The apes are charismatic and the storyline is passable, but this interactive drama tie-in forgets to find a role to cast the player in.
The Imaginati Studios' first game is an interesting experiment. Unfortunately, its façade of consequence and choice falls apart on repeat sessions
I really wanted to like Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier. The Apes world is fascinating and a Telltale-esque game set in that universe has all the makings for an amazing experience.
As an animation movie, Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier would be better. Understanding this product as a videogame, we believe that it is quite limited and we only have a couple of dialogue options to choose, being irrelevant in most cases.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is an exciting narrative adventure that fans of the recent film trilogy will love. Its biggest drawback is perhaps how little interaction you actually have with it and that some of your choices make no difference to the game's direction, but as a fantastic-looking, branching story in a loved world, there's nothing else quite like it.
Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is the perfect fusion between film and video games as it moves away from other games of the franchise and focuses on the narrative. In this way, it offers us a completely different point of view of the war between apes and humans.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier features a story that manages to excite and get players invested in despite it not going too deep into the lives of both apes and humans. It's also an important experiment in storytelling, and one that largely winds up being successful. Hopefully this leads to more titles that aren't afraid to challenge the established ideas of interactive narrative.
Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier creates an engaging narrative that makes both the humans' and apes' predicaments and actions understandable, even when violence is involved. I truly cared about characters on both sides of the conflict, which made for some tough decisions when the two sides would clash.
