This game hit all the spots for me: great visuals, great sounds, music, brilliant voice acting (especially the AI), fun gameplay, perfect difficulty (for a filthy casual like myself) and exactly the kind of humor I needed (some other reviews mention that the humor might not be for everyone, well it certainly was for me!).
I'm another one who enjoyed this game one year ago when it was released at Epic's Store. It was one of the first mentionable games of 2020 - and, in my opinion, the best of the past year. With the discount (around 20 Euros für the game + addon) the DRM-free GoG version is a no-brainer for everyone that likes exploration with Metroidvania elements. The humour is epic, too, but that's something that depends on individual taste, while the game(play) is great for sure.
Journey to the Savage Planet is an exciting and colorful first-person adventure game that offers a unique and humorous take on space exploration. The game's world is filled with strange and fascinating creatures, and the environments are beautifully rendered with a vibrant color palette.
Gameplay mechanics are tight and responsive, with satisfying combat and exploration mechanics that keep players engaged throughout their journey. The game's upgrade system provides a sense of progression as players gather resources and unlock new abilities to help them explore more of the planet.
The game's sense of humor is also a highlight, with quirky characters and humorous dialogue that adds a lighthearted touch to the game's overall tone. The story itself is engaging and well-crafted, with twists and turns that keep players invested in the game's narrative.
Overall, Journey to the Savage Planet is a highly enjoyable game that offers a unique and memorable gaming experience. Its sense of humor, engaging gameplay mechanics, and beautiful world make it a must-play for fans of the adventure genre
Journey To The Savage Planet is more fun to begin with, than near 10 percent of completion -- it is also short, I guess, if I ever DO complete it, as it becomes a repetitive grind, and trying not to fall to a horrible death. It is also funny at first, but gets old, with the same very funny videos and the cute funny voice of your assistant -- not so cute or funny once you are tiring of trying to reach the next objective: Think 'No Man's Sky' on one planet until you become annoyed; or more annoyed if you do not like that other game either. Lol.
Finally, it's not a spoiler to mention the flying squid-like killer-aliens: you will meet them soon and often while trying to climb or to find anything. And if you were able to aim the gun properly even with a corded mouse, this might be fun or a fair challenge; but as this isn't the case, is no fun at all. It's also too dark in some major areas of the map, and is confusing: Even I have a good flashlight at home; this game does not! The graphics, sound, and environment are also exceptional, but are not enough to make-up for janky game-play: It is the 'prettiest' frustrating experience I've ever had gaming -- I soon wished to strangle my audio-assistant and to murder every one of the cute little less-dangerous aliens around. Some Others here have had similar complaints as me, and are why I am glad I did wait for a sale: I give it three stars for the effort, but not very good execution.
