Planet Of The Apes: Last Frontier is an odd bird. Despite giving players the agency to affect the world and story, it’s not a traditional videogame, and with its hyper-realistic visuals, it’s not a movie. The interactive experience straddles the line between the two art forms.
Like Telltale Games such as The Walking Dead, it lets players make choices that shape the narrative, but those decisions are done without exploration. Players don’t control a main character. Instead, Planet Of The Apes: Last Frontier acts like a movie shifting from scene to scene. The developers, Imaginati Studios, lets players watch Hideo Kojima-length cutscenes and peppers the experience with choices.
