    This is the exact kind of 3rd-person indie game I look for, great story without any point-and-click boredom. No, the platforming isn’t Super Meat Boy tight or anything, but the controls are nowhere near as bad as other reviews are making it out to be and don’t hinder progression in the slightest.

Combined with the fascinating story, a good level of difficulty for the puzzles, and the surprisingly beautiful indie visuals; it’s a fantastic experience especially for space/sci-fi lovers. For the $5 eShop sale price it was more than worth it, and I would’ve been just as happy with it if I had paid full price.… Expand

    This is a pretty amazing game. I wasn't expecting much play time because of the price but it was absolutely worth it! A+ Game

    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.
