Revenge of the Savage Planet Reviews
A zany, knockabout co-op action adventure that's kaleidoscopically colourful but wears you out before you get to the good stuff.
A witty take on sci-fi and co-op that's teeming with life and begging for you to get creative with its gadgets.
Revenge of the Savage Planet improves on its predecessor in every way, introducing new beasts, weapons, collectables, and plenty of absurdity.
It's a more curated open-world experience than, say, Assassin's Creed Shadows, but it isn't nearly as different from that kind of mainstream triple-A open-world game as its roots would lead you to expect.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a large, ambitious adventure with great visuals, varied gameplay, and split-screen co-op to boot that's a great sequel to an underrated sci-fi platformer. However, the crude humour and corporate satire can be grating and the whole game feels like a collection of shallow busywork – though the design of the final few hours is exemplary.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a fully 3D open-world Metroidvania, where each new upgrade opens up new paths to useful resources in the earlier areas
Still, the game is definitely fun at the end of the day, and I'm going to stick around for the post-game content to continue cleaning up some quests after rolling credits. It doesn't soar quite as high as I might've hoped, but it's still a deep-space voyage worth embarking on.
Though its story ultimately feels unfocused and its one-note action leaves it lacking in identity, Revenge of the Savage Planet succeeds as a sci-fi romp. It lets players loose into a series of interplanetary playgrounds designed to be sucked dry by a corporate drone tasked with becoming a bully. It’s a charming slice of dark comedy that’s perhaps not mean enough to totally land its point.
A sci-fi adventure characterised by light tones and fresh gameplay, capable of providing satisfaction... as long as you are a curious gamer. Curiosity is essential to fully appreciate the multifaceted exploration component of Revenge of the Savage Planet and discover all its secrets. If No Man's Sky and Outer Wilds had had a relationship, this would have been their legitimate child.

This bigger, better, sillier sequel easily delivers some of the most fun I’ve had in an action-adventure game this year, to the extent that I’ll keep on investigating savage planets for as long as Raccoon Logic continues to develop them.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a little gem. It's not a game that excels in any particular way, but an experience made up of many very solid, if watered-down, subsystems.

While its predecessor's floaty, unsatisfying combat remains, and its enemy variety is lacking, Revenge of the Savage Planet's freedom of movement and exploration make this short-but-sweet, eccentric Metroidvania well worth a go.
In Journey to the Savage Planet, you played as a hapless employee of Kindred Aerospace, marooned on a hostile planet (savage, even) after your ship c...
Revenge Of The Savage Planet is an explosive sequel that ups the ante in every aspect, making for one the most fun co-op experiences of 2025.
Raccoon Logic knows its target audience and delivers exactly what you would expect with Revenge of the Savage Planet, grating humor and all.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a self-assured sequel that successfully builds on what was started in the original game, making smart adjustments to structure and game feel while honing in on the satire. Not all of it is a success, but it's a great little romp that doesn't ask for too much of your time or brainpower to make its point.
In the end, Revenge of the Savage Planet is a good follow-up to Journey to the Savage Planet. The concept of exploring new, absurd worlds remains novel, while the expanded tool set and mobility tweaks strengthen the gameplay. The worlds are large and packed with loads to discover, and the game offers up a good amount to do even after you've seen the credits for the first time. For those who love exploring, Revenge of the Savage Planet is well worth checking out.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is the result of the efforts of talented, passionate fans of platformers and open world games, in the guise of science fiction and corporate satire.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is an excellent, goo-filled adventure with plenty to do on your journey from being a hapless fool to a genuine space hero.
After our first foray into the Savage Planet, Revenge of the Savage Planet ups the ante with a more ambitious and well-rounded game offer. A 100-year journey that culminates in the exploration of an entire abandoned solar system at the hand of a large corporation. Its 3D metroidvania proposal includes platforms, combat, exploration and a large number of puzzles and collectibles that will help us achieve the desired ending... or succumb in the attempt. All this wrapped in a hooligan and irreverent humor that sometimes goes too far in its intention to criticize the world in which we live and in which we could live.
