    Lifeless Planet is a platforming game where you play as an astronaut who’s crew crash lands on a planet that was once inhabited by the soviet union
    when you wake up you see that your crew is gone and you have no idea how long you were out for...
    you set out to find them and along your journey you discovery other mysteries to be solved..
    You’ll find data and audio logs that explain what happened on this planet and why it’s no longer crawling with life...
    The game is a constant 6 hours search for answers, and while this planet is lifeless.. it still manages to be just varied enough to stop it from feeling repetitive…
    Though not varied enough to blow you away or keep you immersed for the entire 6 hours…
    as the scenery doesn’t really change all too much…
    The gameplay itself is straight up platforming and throwing switches to continue on your path to get home…
    you hop gaps with your oxygen tank which can definitely take some getting used to as it feels just a little too floaty to ever feel satisfying…
    And the level design doesn’t quite do the greatest job at keeping the player moving forward as there are rarely visual clues to give you an idea of what to do, occasionally halting momentum…
    I found myself scratching my head probably once every 30 minutes not knowing where I was supposed to be going…
    the game also does some weird things towards the end with geysers that don’t really work, but I do appreciate their attempt at throwing something new into the game…
    The gameplay in Lifeless Planet definitely isn’t great, it’s passable...
    But the greatness is in the mystery and exploration of this planet…
    I give lifeless planet a 7/10    … Expand

    A very easy, slow and linear platformer. I dont regret playing trhough it but i cant recommend it. Game length 3h. Even though its so short i feel like it went on for wayyy too long.

    -Graphics: dated af even for realease date but serviceable i guess +Sound: good, atmospheric -Controls / Gamesplay: clunky, slow and uncomfortable. i recommend double jumping and boosting all the time for    A very easy, slow and linear platformer.

    I wanted to like Lifeless Planet. I gave it a fair shake and I even liked it until I got a grasp on everything it has to see and do — about 45 minutes. Past that, it’s just an exercise in running and jumping across boring vistas while collecting uninteresting audiologs to support the bloated, unsatisfying story.

    I hardly identified with the protagonist in any other game as much as I did here: I just want to leave this godforsaken, boring and ugly place as much as he does.

    Lifeless Planet isn’t necessarily an experience that is needed to be had, but if you do journey to the planet, there is some good to be found.
