    Lifeless Planet is a very little gem for weird adventure/plat-former genre lovers, with a not so graphically impressive 3D (but inmersive) landscape ready to explore. It's rooted on big narrative mystery but not much of a character development, and It has a notable limited playability in terms of what you can do in-game, becoming too simple. Music is poetic, wonderful and on point, itLifeless Planet is a very little gem for weird adventure/plat-former genre lovers, with a not so graphically impressive 3D (but inmersive) landscape ready to explore.

Music is poetic, wonderful and on point, it works to me. Overall I have to say, isn't the greatest of it's genre.
    But strangely I was caught in it's story-driven way of progress, and finished the game pretty quickly having left a quite good feel about it, acknowledging all of it's deficiencies.
    If you find this in some kind of offer for a cheaper price than usual, I can recommend you to give it a try, could be fun for you If you aren't expecting an AAA title.    … Expand

    Lifeless Planet: Premiere Edition may very well gain a few new fans based solely on its narrative. Unfortunately, the tedious ordeal of having to traipse around the planet for half a dozen hours like a clumsy jelly baby just doesn’t make the plot strong enough to be worth the hassle. While it may not sound like it, I do appreciate the hard work and effort it takes to independently craft an environment of such scale. However, it really doesn’t excuse the fact that this is an incredibly poorly made game, regardless of how interesting its premise may be.

    For some, the gameplay might prove too simple and the comparatively low fidelity visuals might pull people out of the experience and distract them from what the game does well. While part of me would definitely love to see Lifeless Planet re-imagined with a more modern engine and an extra layer or two to the gameplay, I can’t deny I found the game plenty compelling as it is. So, for those interested in a no-frills, story driven sci-fi adventure that doesn’t overstay its welcome, Lifeless Planet is well worth a closer look.

    Unraveling the thread to reveal the truth behind Lifeless Planets narrative is definitely its strongest appeal. Unfortunately, doing so often feels more like a chore than a joy. The platforming here feels ancient The planet itself, while absolutely capturing the essence of it decaying, comes off as uninteresting to explore. Add in some monotonous puzzles, and what you’re left with is a rather forgettable experience.
