Journey to the Savage Planet

I enjoyed the 1st half of the game. But as you progress, you need very fast hand to eye coordination which I do not have. To keep it fun, you need to be young & fast. I wish the devs could have made it fun for all ages. But they didn't, late game is all about lightning flash reflexes...constantly swinging, jumping & hooking to finish exploring & beating bosses. Playing with a controller is very hard due to the games targetting system. But so many devs has not moved from the 1990s & insist on using old school keyboard gaming instead of modern controllers. Why is that??

It is fine. combat is simple. Some design decisions like no map and wird saving mechanics are odd.

This game seel on the fact( that you can play on coop but the game doesn't work on any vcersion of the game i tried Both GOG and PS5 version aren't working even more, they sell their next coming gmae by saying "if you like the multi of this game, try our new one" what a joke

While I did buy this on the Epic store(I don't regret getting it when it launched), I would absolutely recommend this game to everyone regardless on which store you get it on. The game itself is beautiful, the humor is funny( take a few minutes an watch the commercials on you ship, they are insanely funny), while combat isn't the main focus of the game it is very well designed and responsive. The voice acting is exceptional and adds life to a game with a largly silent protagonist, though the explorer isn't life less, they are brought to life with gestures and actions. The only problem I had was the grappling beam not connecting properly, but that is the only bug I have ever encountered in the game. Today the standard is to have a new game plus to make following playthroughs easier and let them explore, Typhoon decided to go a very different route, Old Game Minus, you start with nothing extra, nothing you had carries over, you are on the clock(if you take too long bad things happen), and to make it just that slight bit more challenging you have only 3 lives.(It's not a s easy as it sounds) This game isn't something you can easily describe in words so I would absolutely recommend buying, it is more than worth the asking price.(If you have friends, the game is co-op, and there is friendly fire).

I didn't quite know what to expect but in a nutshell, it's an exploration focused shooter with a lot of jumping and grappling. It's open worldish with most areas directly connected even though there are teleporters for fast travel. The world is colorful with a lot of secrets that involve quite a bit of vertigo-inducing jumping and grappling. The ability to perform multiple jumps and to grapple have to be earned though by collecting items. But as soon as you can double/triple jump and grapple, moving around is a lot of fun. There's only one weapon which is a bit on the annoying side with its tendency to stop shooting when you need it most and the over-sophisticated charging which needs multiple correctly timed key/button presses. Still, it's good fun to shoot the alien lifeforms into slimy chunks. The boss fights are not extremely difficult (and you can usually flee), it's possible to find all secrets because you can get scanners for them later in the game, all in all the design is pretty fair. Not everything is totally great though. Apart from the weapon, also the two different jump keys/styles don't make much sense. And most of the video footage that is supposed to be hilarious is cheaply done and not very funny. Some enemies like the frogs are badly designed and hitting them is a bit random just as some of the special tasks. Also the last part of the main game (tower) is a bit unfair and frustrating. There are also some death traps which are impossible to exit alive without the proper ability or even with it (Gauntlet). Then again, dying is part of the game design and getting your inventory back is never a big problem. The DLC introduces a way to fly by hitting rings which made me crazy at first but which worked out quite well after a while. In sum, it's a very worthy addition. I needed around 27h for the main game plus DLC with 100% completion and most of this was pure fun, especially the exploring. I still cursed the developers now and then ;)
