    Journey to the Savage Planet is a First-Person Exploration Action Adventure. 505 Games and Typhoon Studios have brought us another incredible game!

You're a Pioneer for the Company Kindred Aerospace, The 4th Best Aerospace company in the Galaxy, and you've been sent to the Planet ARY-26. Your mission is to catalog the flora and fauna of the planet and to find useful resources to find out if the planet in colonizable. And the trip took all of your fule, so if you want to leave again, you'll have to find a usable fuel source. The Pioneers are sent to Planets without intelligent life, but something is amiss on ARY-26 as a giant tower looms over the land. This realization promptly changes your main goals. The Planet is wild, and not just the lifeforms, but the Planet itself, as it's comprised of floating archipelagoes, making navigation... interesting. You scour the planet to find precious resources and different materials that will allow you to upgrade your gear with your ships 3D Printer, after Kindred approval of course. Journey to the Savage Planet is loaded with irreverent humor, between the commercials that are cast over your ship's systems, videoes from Mr. Tweed, and commentary from E.K.O. Your friendly AI. The wait for this game was worthwhile, as every aspect seems well polished, and the paths are challenging and fun. In my opinion, this game is an instant classic and needs to be in most gamers collections!… Expand

    This is a surprisingly underrated indie sci-fi adventure that shines with a ton of comedy and a beautifully cartoonish world. I'll admit that some of the gameplay aspects feel a little clumsy, but there's just too much content and variety in this 10+ hour long game to pass it up for its $30 asking price.

    Very funny, great mechanics and excellent environments. It feels a triple A game at less than half the price. I would highly recommend this game

    Great game.A good mix of scouting, platforming and shooting. Very funny and with very good dialogues too. In addition, the duration is very adjusted so that it does not take long and you want to complete it 100%. I recommend it

    Journey to the Savage Planet is a first person 3d platforming adventure game that can be played solo or co op where you play as a character whos job is to collect information about a potentially inhabitable planet, before we bring humans there to live…
    and during this first few hours of this about 8 hour journey, Journey to the Savage Planet was one of the most charming and ridiculously fun games ive played in a while…
    Journey to the Savage Planet takes inspiration from games such as ratchet and clank, no mans sky, and I’m sure borderlands with its quirky humour and characters
    So many moments I would just bust out laughing about how dumb or self aware certain moments in this game were… and this humor is what makes journey to the savage planet such an overall charming experience…
    The world starts out full of secrets, wonder, and color.. youll be scanning items and creatures trying to catch them all, pokemon style… youll find branching and hidden paths that lead to upgrades for your health and stamina, all of this got its hooks in me instantly… I wanted to scan all of the creatures, collect all of the orange goo, and upgrade my character to their full potential… this is what journey to the savage planet does right with its collectibles.. they aren’t meaningless.. they all have a pay off, you feel true incentive to explore and collect… what journey to the savage planet doesn’t do right though, is constantly locking off paths that require you to come back later with new items… the concept of journey to the savage planet is simple.. you’ve gotta fix your ship, you need to go collect items to do so… but in your way are enemies, enemies that drop materials that you an then use to upgrade your gear, however to actually unlock said gear, you must stick to the story until youre given the mission to get said gear, and along your way you are teased with things you cant interact with.. which is a fine thing ti an extent.. but this is constant from start to finish…all youll want to do is explore and become more powerful, but the game wont let you… youre rewarded for finding these really well hidden secrets with a sorry come back later, and it just becomes discouraging after a while… especially in this games final stretch.. how do I not have every ability unlocked already? I stopped caring during journey to the savage planets 3rd act…
    which bring s me to my next gripe… Journey to the Savage Planet is a brilliant 3d platformerfor the most part, you have so many consumable items at your disposal to uncover secrets and traverse through this world… but much like every other 3d platformer… the spark stays, but fizzles the deeper you go into the game… each act getting progressively not as fun, until the point where your hoppinh around broken apart floating islands.. again just like every other 3d platformer… Journey to the Savage Planets magic was in its exploration and collecting.. it was in its adventure and humour… while it was still enjoyable, it was a mistake to rely and focus on traversal and gun play for the 2nd half of this game… and not only that – but it was also a mistake to toss this pokemon like collection system out the window by just reusing and reskinning enemies, this caused exploration to quickly lose any bit of excitement, whats around the next corner? Everything you just saw except now theyre yellow instead of pink.
    But with all of my gripes, Journey to the Savage Planet challenged me in all the right ways, the gunplay was just annoying enough for me to constantly feel in danger, it encouraged exploration in all the right ways, having me search for spawn and teleportation points so I could quickly go grab my dropped items if I died… this journey to the savage planet was a pleasant surprise, and one that im glad I made.
    I give Journey to the Savage Planet

    A really fun and exotic FPS. If you're looking from something that doesn't involve butchering zombies or demon with a 60 weapon arsenal, then this might be for you.
    Exploration of beautiful biomes, crazy creatures and a lot of humor make this game perfect if you need to change your mind. Let's say you're locked down home due to a worldwide pandemics, or something. Can't go anywhere? Then    A really fun and exotic FPS.

    Journey to the Savage Planet is a very enjoyable and satisfying space adventure, with great humour and full of surprises and crazy situations, even if a bit short. We'd love to see a sequel funded with a bigger budget.

    I enjoyed my time with Journey to the Savage Planet, not only for its simplistic gameplay and exploration of an interesting and beautiful planet, but especially for its humor. Even the way that you hold items in your left hand throughout is funny, as is every email and commercial you receive on your ship. Typhoon Studios has created something special in their very first outing as a developer, and while it may not be perfect, it sure was an interesting Journey to the Savage Planet.

    Journey to the Savage Planet is a great freshman effort from Typhoon and one of the early surprises of 2020. I will be thinking about this game as the year goes on as one of the best surprises I had literally no interest in upon kicking it off. If you enjoy exploration games like Metroid Prime I highly suggest giving it a go. The charm, humor, and game loop are just fresh enough to keep players interested in this relatively slow time for releases. The price tag also doesn’t hurt.
