May 9, 2025Light, fun and nonsense, Revenge of the Savage Planet recaptures all the colorful exuberance of the visuals seen in the previous game, bringing it to full power. At the same time, it maintains the acid tone about corporatism in a three-dimensional metroidvania progression model, delivering a balanced, agile and practical gameplay system.

May 5, 2025A sci-fi adventure characterized by light tones and fresh gameplay, capable of giving satisfaction… as long as you are a curious player. Curiosity is essential to better appreciate the multifaceted exploratory component of Revenge of the Savage Planet and discover all its secrets. If No Man’s Sky and Outer Wilds had a relationship, this would have been their legitimate child.

May 21, 2025Clearly inspired by the collectible games of the early 2000s, Revenge of the Savage Planet also celebrates Metroid 3D in a way that few dare to pay homage to. This is one of the most honest experiences without Samus Aran as the protagonist, even though it overdoes the amount of tasteless jokes in the story.

May 5, 2025After our first foray into the Savage Planet, Revenge of the Savage Planet ups the ante with a more ambitious and well-rounded game offer. A 100-year journey that culminates in the exploration of an entire abandoned solar system at the hand of a large corporation. Its 3D metroidvania proposal includes platforms, combat, exploration and a large number of puzzles and collectibles that will help us achieve the desired ending... or succumb in the attempt. All this wrapped in a hooligan and irreverent humor that sometimes goes too far in its intention to criticize the world in which we live and in which we could live.

May 6, 2025Revenge is a dish best served cold. And if this game is its developer's act of revenge, presumably aimed at Google for closing its original company, we’d say it's been served in a very cool way indeed. If you love sci-fi, if you love exploration, if you love having a laugh while you play with a partner, give it a go. You can thank us later.

May 5, 2025I had a blast playing Revenge Of The Savage Planet. The varied planets are gorgeous, the goofy creatures are charming, and the absurdist Rick And Morty meets Tim And Eric humor lands more often than not. Exploring vibrant new worlds and cataloging all the flora and capturable fauna scratches an itch for any sci-fi fan that wishes they lived in a timeline where space exploration was possible. Unfortunately, while combat does bring some interesting things to the table with elemental synergies at play, the gunplay is pretty basic despite being a frequent and expected part of your expedition. It's serviceable, but never truly exciting. Some fairly pervasive framerate issues and a co-op mode that feels more like an afterthought also don't do the game any favors. Still, the game is definitely fun at the end of the day, and I'm going to stick around for the post-game content to continue cleaning up some quests after rolling credits. It doesn't soar quite as high as I might've hoped, but it's still a deep-space voyage worth embarking on.

May 5, 2025This all leaves me feeling mixed. On a basic level, Revenge of the Savage Planet is pretty fun. Despite shotgunning most of it in two days, I was happy to play more. Moving from a double jump to a grapple to a rail grind to a stomp is simple fun...But it feels like some identity has been lost in the game's expansion. In broadening out to encompass four planets and change, Revenge loses touch with the series' foundations. It's a more curated open-world experience than, say, Assassin's Creed Shadows, but it isn't nearly as different from that kind of mainstream triple-A open-world game as its roots would lead you to expect. Revenge of the Savage Planet seems to have confidently marched in this direction, but I'm not sure it was the right one.
