Revenge of the Savage Planet Reviews
Revenge of the Savage Planet is one of those games that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but that’s part of the charm. It’s got all the weird alien worlds, over-the-top corporate satire, plus a bunch of bizarre creatures to scan, catch, or just blow up if they get too annoying.

Revenge Of The Savage Planet is a breath of fresh air from the usual doom and gloom we’ve come to expect of modern action-adventure titles, instead being lighthearted, ridiculous and all-around silly fun.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel that improves on its predecessor on many fronts, managing to keep the core of the original formula intact. The game is not without its flaws - its plot, while interesting, does not reach memorable heights and is peppered with too much unnecessary humour, and some of the game mechanics may be repetitive in the long run. However... well, it is entertaining enough.

Yes, it's in Early Access, and yes, things might improve with future updates. But for now, on PS5 and I guess the same would be on Xbox Series X, it's just not worth it. If you're really curious, maybe give it a go via GamePass and see if you can stomach the rough ride. Otherwise, wait. There's a good game here, but it's buried under a pile of performance issues that seriously affect the experience.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel that takes what made the first game work and elevates it with visual improvements, greater freedom of exploration, and a welcome expansion of co-op. The shift to third-person, nonsensical humor, and irreverent sci-fi atmosphere maintain the franchise's charm, while new gameplay features make the experience more fluid and strategic.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a worthy sequel — quirky, packed with content, and often a joy to explore. The colourful worlds and clever metroidvania level design are its biggest strengths, rewarding curiosity with satisfying upgrades and platforming challenges. Unfortunately, a frustrating stamina system and underwhelming combat hold it back from reaching its full potential.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a fun action-adventure game with Metroidvania elements that features a variety of gameplay mechanics, all put together with a generous sprinkling of humor. While it still needs some polishing with control buttons and subtitles, Revenge of the Savage Planet still delivers an enjoyable space adventure out in the stars.
The return to the Savage Planet was a long road, but it’s been worth it. Becoming more of a collectathon and metroidvania than the first game was a great choice, making the game a bit more focused on what your goal is. While you can just push the main story missions, much like any game, it’s way too easy to get distracted and just lose yourself jumping around on mushrooms to get to higher ground to find another goo-egg to increase your health, or to find a new piece of clothing to wear so you can look like a raccoon. The perfect change for a game of this style.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but rather refines and expands everything that worked the first time around. It’s smarter, smoother, and more thoughtful, both in how it plays and how it presents its world. Whether you explore it solo or alongside a companion, it’s a journey well worth taking.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a bigger, more varied, more polished, and, above all, more fun sequel. While this new installment comes with its own areas of improvement, these issues don't completely detract from Raccoon Logic's excellent work and are highly fixable. It may not revolutionize the genre or have the depth of other open-world titles, but it offers a very fun and rather hilarious "metroidvania"-style experience.

What remains is a truly feel-good Metroidvania with a fast-paced story, plenty of variety, a strong soundtrack, plenty of humor, few flaws, and a very flexible co-op mode that's compelling both online and offline. Bravo, Raccoon Logic!

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a vibrant and humorous 3D platformer that serves both as a tribute to classic 90s adventures and a satirical critique of corporate overreach. The game emphasizes exploration, creature cataloging, resource gathering and encourages players to revisit areas with new abilities in a Metroidvania style progression.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is an accessible, fun game, packed with content to explore, technically well-executed and that, most likely, had a low production cost. In contrast to many generic AAA titles, lacking personality and with billion-dollar budgets, which end up delivering forgettable experiences, Revenge of the Savage Planet shows that it is possible to create something remarkable without exaggeration.

Whether you’re adventuring solo or bringing a friend along in co-op, there’s a lot of fun (and a few laughs) to be had.
Revenge of the Savage Planet does some things well. I like the movement, the combat is fine, if a bit basic, and the upgrades themselves are interesting and affect how you play the game as you progress. But from a game design perspective, I feel the game needed a lot more variety in how you progress the game, and every objective is just heading to a new location to find a new resource. It doesn't ruin the game, but it hampered my enjoyment. Steam Deck performance is alson't the best; we have to run on the absolute lowest settings possible, and even then, we only maintain a playable framerate. Fortunately, we do have good controller support, and I would say that the game can be played fully on the Steam Deck; you just might enjoy the experience more elsewhere.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is the epitome of a 7/10 game—bursting with charm, style, and solid core gameplay, but held back by UI overload, frustrating backtracking, and performance hiccups; yet if you can overlook its flaws, you’ll find a vibrant co-op action-adventure brimming with humor, mobility, and potential that leaves you wanting more.

Revenge of the Savage Planet takes everything from its predecessor and cranks it up to 11. Despite some technical rough edges here and there, the game is an absolute blast to play. Who knew that revenge is a dish best served weird.
The multi planet design means things are a little more linear main quest wise, but if you’re jumping in with a friend or hunting out all the crates and goo you’ll have a plenty of do even after you’ve hit credits. If you’re a fan of the first game, or if you just want something silly and entertaining to blast about in after a hard day not getting fired, then I can wholeheartedly recommend Revenge of the Savage Planet. Although I wouldn’t recommend pissing on your boss and calling it self defense in real life.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a game that is very original in its own way, giving us mature, contagious gameplay you simply cannot let go of and, at the same time, serving us a humorous, satirical story that will make you laugh out loud on many occasions.
Revenge of the Savage Planet should take most 10 to 15 hours to complete, with the achievement hunters getting upwards of 20. It’s a huge step up from the first game, and a delightfully dumb, beautifully good time.
