Journey to the Savage Planet Reviews
Journey to the Savage Planet is a satirical and colorful metroidvania that survives its corny jokes thanks to fun traversal and worthwhile exploration.
A great colorful adventure that's especially fun if you are playing it with your friend.

Ultimately, Journey to the Savage Planet is a little less savage and a little more tame. What it does, it does quite well; it's just a shame it doesn't do very much. A decent title for those that get excited at the thought of exploration, but an otherwise unremarkable experience.
An exploration title like this does not come around often. Typhoon Studios have crafted a highly enjoyable game with amusing humor and distinctive art direction.
It gets its core play loops right, and it respects the player's time
Journey to the Savage Planet an unexpected pleasant surprise that you don't expect in the typically dead month of January. The humor can be an acquired taste for some, but the focus on levity doesn't feel forced and actually enhances the overall experience. The focus on exploration also helps make this a lighthearted jaunt, as the exploration is enjoyable and the combat is light but capable. Combined with the game's classically inspired art design, Journey to the Savage Planet is a title that adventure fans should pay attention to, especially with so many other higher-profile titles getting delayed recently.
With its highs and lows, this light-hearted adventure remains generally pleasurable and highly relaxing. Although it turned out to be brief and very casual, I am hoping that there will be more content for Journey to the Savage Planet in the future.
Journey to the Savage Planet takes around 10 to 12 hours to complete, and you'll come across some neat gameplay ideas along the way, although nothing is that special.

For me, Journey to the Savage Planet feels like a mixture of "Ratchet and Clank" with "No Man's Sky" in a good way! Everything in the game is well placed and it's really one of the best metroidvania style games that i played in this generation, because it makes you feel every bit of exploration worth it. There are some issues like "short campaign" and "non-attractive combat", but with so many good aspects of the game, these issues can't ruin your experience. You should try Journey to the Savage Planet, because it really worth your time.

Beautiful world full of dangers and specific humor is worth to explore, but this journey is sometimes stodgy.

The exact moment I entered the game and saw the amazing graphics and possible ideas, I imagined that it would be an unique experience. But it didn’t take long for me to get annoyed as a result of boring storytelling and amateurish gameplay

Journey to the Savage Planet does exactly what it sets out to do, and the end result is a perfectly enjoyable exploration game.
That being said, the rest of its excellent design blows right past that oversight. The Switch version in particular brings with it its own unique issues, but once again the design outshines these issues. While I can't say the Switch is the ideal way to play this game, it is worth playing in whatever form you can.
I can totally understand why Journey To The Savage Planet has been received with mixed reactions by gamers out there. It somehow created high expectations on the fronts it’s not necessarily interested in, such as combat.
Typhoon Studios has created an indie title that will capture the attention of the masses.
At a glance Journey to the Savage Planet might have the air of an action or survival game, which is a fair assumption to make when seeing its first-person viewpoint and main character walking around with ray-gun in hand. And sure, this is a well we visit far too often at AusGamers, but Journey to the Savage Planet is more Metroid Prime with light combat or even Super Mario 64 than No Man's Sky.
Satirical and self-aware, Journey to the Savage Planet shrinks the discovery of No Man's Sky down to a single planet that's bonkers and brilliant - and one you'll definitely want to visit.
Journey to the Savage Planet is an unpredictable adventure that knows how to amaze, entertain and make fun of capitalism.

Journey to the Savage Planet combines a hilarious and upbeat tone with a constant sense of discovery and progression to make for a fantastic explorative experience.
