Journey to the Savage Planet Reviews
This feels a lot like No Man’s Sky and Metroid Prime combined, and that’s a surprisingly fun combo. Strongly recommended for adventure game fans.
Journey to the Savage Planet finds greatness from the gameplay design in its DNA and its laid-back atmosphere, hitting the marks in these areas thanks to a smartly smaller scope.
Journey to the Savage Planet turned out to be the adventure that I was looking for. The game offers a nice balance of discovery and battles as you find yourself deeper into the strange environments. Sure, the animations and AI can be a bit wonky, but it doesn’t hinder the game’s sense of fun.
Journey to the Savage Planet is a good way to start 2020. A fun adventure that has found the right balance in the size of its map and exploration incentives. The main story beat is rather uninteresting, but the whole funny script they wrote around the beautiful world is a delight. The lackluster combat also hurts it a little, but exploring and experimenting with the game's mechanics to solve puzzles and traverse the world was quite fun.

The pure science fiction and mystery of the game combined with its satirical tone make the adventure completely worth your time. There have been more ambitious and deeper games when it comes to this type of experience but Journey to the Savage Planet has left a lasting impression.
Overall JTTSP was a fun game that had me eagerly taking control of my unnamed explorer to further plumb the secrets AR-Y 26, and spend time just wandering around killing various alien creatures.
Overall Journey to the Savage Planet is a lot of fun, and the open-world serves up a place for you to spend hours in.
Despite a few problems, Journey to the Savage Planet offers a world that is charming and easy to become engrossed in as you explore at your whim.
There’s very little indication that Journey to the Savage Planet wasn’t made by a AAA studio. The quality and time put into each part of the world are superb. By the end the gameplay loop gets a bit stale and the magic wears off, but wow… the first few hours are riveting.
You’re trapped on an alien world, your spaceship is broken, and the only way off this planet is to venture into the unknown and do your job. In any other game, this would be a bleak and dark adventure but not in Journey to the Savage Planet. Instead, despite being in a life and death situation the colorful world, toon-like lifeforms, and disturbingly cheerful AI create a lively atmosphere. Journey of the Savage Planet provides ample areas full of hidden secrets waiting to be unearthed but relies heavily on collecting items and hoarding resources. Despite the heavy collection focused gameplay the wit and charm of Journey of the Savage Planet provide a gleeful mask to cover the tedious collecting.
Journey to the Savage Planet is an awesome experience, bringing a wacky and straight up enjoyable adventure on one bizarre world.
A fantastic, but short, game for fans of exploration and platformers, with charming sense of humor and world full of wonders to discover.

There are so many moments playing Journey To The Savage Planet that I wish I had of been recording my reactions. Either because I began giggling or I simply turned my head in questioning curiosity.
Journey to the Savage Planet is the first good surprise for 2020 and it's definitely a game for fans of adventure, exploration and, of course, Metroid Prime.
Journey to the savage planet brings back to life those good feelings left by the Metroid Prime saga at the time, and does so with a touch of absurd humour that feels great. We'll have several areas to explore and scan thoroughly, although it's a bit frustrating to feel lost at first and not be able to get your bearings. The co-operative is a very interesting addition, although it's not really designed in the best of ways. If you like exploration and adventure games, don't hesitate to give it a try.

Journey to the Savage Planet puts you in a brilliantly colorful world, and tasks you with exploring to your heart's content. The moment-to-moment exploration is enjoyable, but the act of combat offers very little in the way of a challenge. The score and insane FMV adverts give Journey to the Savage Planet a lot of personality, but the tiresome parody nature of the writing really lets it down.
Journey to the Savage Planet is a fun and rewarding exploration-based FPS with the option to play with a friend. It’s an adventure which you’ll be thinking about when you’re not playing it, wondering what lies ahead in the areas you can’t yet explore whilst imagining the kinds of creatures you’ll find living there. The colourful and whimsical nature of the game will leave a smile on your face, whether you’re kicking around creatures smaller than you or simply burying the remains of your previous attempt at life, it’s just so much fun! You’ll come for the colourful adventure and you’ll stay for the addictive and charming gameplay.
