    Creatively, full points. JttSP is original, zany, and beautiful. The story and art are fantastic.

    Gameplay-wise, disappointing. It's an exploration game with slow movement, crappy keyboard controls, invisible walls, and no map. It's a bog-standard metroidvania with collectathon mechanics. The combat is not fun.

    5.5/10 почему? в игре мало контента, прошёл её за 6ч, на 100% прошёл за 9ч. И всё больше в игре делать нечего

    This is a humorous Metroid Prime that has an interesting world. Unfortunately, the gameplay gets a bit repetitive and the exploration doesn't feel particularly rewarding. It's a pretty easy Metroidvania.

    It's not a bad game. I like the concept, but other than the humor, the gameplay gets bland fast.

    Wonderfully colorful, with varied fauna and flora. Exploring the game's world is a joy, but that's all there is. It's very easy, you feel no threat from enemies and bosses. You don't really interact with the aliens apart from shooting some of them. It would be great to observe some interactions between them and use them to your advantage, but all they do is walk around.

    gags / aesthetics wore out on me less than 20 mins in, i soon realized that this was not going to be my thing after being so excited that i found a gem i hadn't heard about. if crazy color aesthetics and unlock upgrade / proceed to new area to obtain next upgrade to unlock the next area is you thing get it. but i cant recommend a buy.

    The game is far from perfect yet quite enjoyable for the first 30-40% (3-4 hours in my case), then it becomes needlessly repetitive. You will constantly looting stuff and doing semi-dumb side quests just to get to the next stage in the main story line. Pistol upgrades are worthless don't bother upgrading it other than the magazine size and reload speed. Nice graphics, funny narration kindaThe game is far from perfect yet quite enjoyable for the first 30-40% (3-4 hours in my case), then it becomes needlessly repetitive.

    The game is far from a "1/10" as another user claims (Wow, dude gave it a 1/10 for "being too short"? Seriously? Big brain move there! Then again they've never given a positive review before). its a fun game in general (and considering it's $39.95AUD on PSN, that's well within the realm of acceptable regarding pricing to feature comparison).

    Co-op is fun as you grab your online "Meat Buddy" and explore. One thing to consider is that progress and materials etc are only retained on the hosts account so your co-op partner is there for support, not their own progress.

    One detriment to the game is that it starts off feeling like a sci-fi exploration game (almost akin to Astroneer minus the survival and building) but gradually changes to a standard shooter format the further you get (wildlife becomes more aggressive the further you get and "bosses" show weak points that glow etc).

    Also it seems to have an inconsistent price across the platforms (see TLDR).

    TLDR - Fun little scifi exploration shooter, could be a little cheaper but the price is reasonable for what it is (depending on where you buy it ($59.95AUD Retail, $59.95AUD Microsoft Store, $39.95AUD PSN Store, $29.99USD Epic Store).    … Expand

    Bu oyun bana kara mizahıyla çok sevdiğim portal oyun serisini hatırlattı. Ama aynı tadı veremedi. Bazı yerlerde tiksindim. Aslında kara mizahı severim ama burdaki beni sarmadı. Oynanış kötüydü. Düşman çeşitliliği çok gibi ama çoğu birbirinin makyajlanmış ve bir özellik farklı olanı ama düşman tasarımı güzel. Renk paleti çok renkli. Bunu severim. Sanat tasarımı harika.

    Поиграл 1 час. Графика красивая, оптимизация норм. Геймплей довольно интересный, присутствует средненький юмор. Паузы в игре вообще нет. Я столкнулся с багом, из-за которого я не смог продолжить проходить игру. Мне надо было просканировать объект, я это и сделал, но вот только в игрой это не засчиталось.Поиграл 1 час.

    It's a parody of the entire survival genre on a massive scale and simple, light-hearted adventure wrapped in one game. You probably won’t regret signing up with Kindred Aerospace, but still, this game could have been more engaging.

    Fun times for all explorers eager for well-made levels full of secrets. You probably won’t enjoy the action parts too much, but it’s still well worth your time.

    This is a generous game in both deed and spirit, and, as such, one it's tremendously difficult to dislike. [Issue#343, p.106]
