   The mark of a great game is when you actually get a sense of vertigo being near a high cliff.
   My 9 and 7 year olds had a blast watching me explore this alien terrain. The story is great and everyone should be satisfied with the ending.
   Here are the reasons I didn't give it a 10.
   #1: There were a couple of spots where I got stuck in a crevasse and had to reload to a checkpoint. Not a big deal...and it only happened 2 times over 10+ hours.
   #2: I was having a lot of fun exploring (and there is plenty of space to explore) but there is almost nothing to find. they should have littered the environment with more goodies and/or discoveries and/or secrets.

   Bottom line. This game was worth every penny.… Expand

When you awaken you can see the shuttle that brought you down crash landed into  what looks like a sandy area. It soon becomes apparent that you are running low on oxygen and need to find some before passing out.... Luckily there is a bright shiny blinking star in the distance... Its another space shuttle... With an oxygen supply... Weird... I thought these were meant to be the first explorers to this planet... The plot thickens.
   
   You continue on with the story which brings about all kinds of twists and turns and also brings up more questions. Some people may play through this thinking 'What the hell am I playing?' Or as I did through the first few hours 'What do I do now??' The planet is vast and is split into different areas, and the game is designed quite linear as you have to do certain things and go certain places to progress in the story. However, some of the areas are vast and explorable making this more than just a linear story based game. You can move off the beat and track and look for other things, and I would highly recommend doing this as I've found that there are a lot of collectables to be found if you do this... *Cough* Achievement *Cough*
   
   The worlds are vast and have brilliant colours to them however they do lack in detail in parts. Don't take this away from the game as it helps to distinguish its character and charm throughout. There are different ranges that you visit during the game from Sandy Deserts, Rocky Quarries and Woodlands.
   
   From the original PC version to the Xbox One version you can see that there has been a graphical upgrade for the game and it is look sharper on the Xbox One than it did with the original version and you can see that from the image posted here!
   
   I have found that there is a lack of emotional bond with my character, all I feel towards him is... well.... nothing... He's just a guy bouncing around a planet looking for his buddies trying to establish civilisation when he stumbles upon a lot of Russian stuff... Its all very confusing for Joon
   
   The music within the game as well is pretty non existent and when music does kick in I've found that its not at a point where it should be kicking in.... IE walking across a desert with nothing around... I can understand that the game is trying to create a sense of atmosphere etc, but it needs to be played out at the right time.
   
   One thing I do love though is the games take on Classic Sci Fi. I've heard people say 'Oh this game looks boring, you're not doing anything' and things like that, but its the bigger picture of the game, keeping up with the story and sticking with it. Yes it may look boring to play, but when you're getting into the game and understand whats going on, the game is brilliant, it comes to life and you can see that element of Classic Sci Fi that maybe the younger generation wont understand.
   
   From the start of the game I didn't think it was boring, it had me straight away... Even before I was playing the game and I was watching Trailers and Game play vids it already had me hooked. Yes there isn't much to do and parts of the planet can look the same, but that's the beauty of exploration. You're there to search and see beyond the end of your nose, to play a genre of game that has been severally lacking in console gaming.
   
   I would love to say that this game keeps you going and wants you to come back more and more, especially after you have collected all the achievements, but there is nothing that would keep you coming back to play it again. Its not as though there is alternative ways to play, it would be the same rather linear way of play time and time again, and after one play through I think that would be enough for anyone. After finishing the game I found it to be rather anticlimactic and predictable. Throughout playing the game you were always going to know what he was going to find the portal and what I presumed to be a way back to earth.
   
   My conclusion is that I really like and enjoy playing this game, and would encourage anyone to give it a go. Its strong story and Sci Fi setting make this an awesome gaming experience. I said at the start of this review that the game gripped me, and pulled me into it, yes, it did that, but it didn't do anything to keep me going, to keep me stuck in, and wanting more. If there is going to be a Lifeless Planet 2, there needs to be some dramatic improvements to the world and story telling. It gets a mediocre 6 from Joon.… Expand

   I find it very surreal and relaxing..... but the atmosphere is only thing it has going for it....... controls a bit off
   
   I generally stick to more action oriented games, so don't listen to me if you're well rounded in your tastes...
   
   So, to reiterate, I think it is good fun....... just not great… Expand

   This title, a short but sweet entry in the big book of video games, doesn't offer much in terms of gameplay. In my opinion, though, what it lacks in gameplay and controls, it makes up for in story that kept me not exactly enthralled, but interested enough to finish the game. the graphics are not the greatest, especially in cutscenes, but during gameplay they're decent enough to make the game playable, even if the same sandy landscapes get a tad boring (towards the end of the game, the landscapes do become more varied, with different chapters taking place at different times of day, among other modifying things, so that definitely helps).
   As I mentioned before, gameplay is very basic, which is a blessing and a curse. A blessing in the sense that a kid could be challenged to play this, making a great game for a younger gamer, but a curse for older gamers, who will likely tire of the repetitive aspects of the game. I personally found that after the first few chapters of the game, I grew tired of the controls, which more or less consisted of jumping and then jumping again. The puzzles in the game are not particularly difficult, either, a bit disappointing for a game labelled as a puzzle-platform hybrid.
   Even though the gameplay was lacking, the score was excellent, especially when the player discovers the town for the first time, in the game's third chapter. in later chapters, it did an excellent job in setting the mood as the player progresses as well.
   In conclusion, the game is not bad by any means, but it's also not a standout game either. If it's on sale, I'd suggest picking it up, but for full price I don't think it's really worth the money.… Expand

Alors, de rage, il saute partout et se roule en boule comme Sonic le hérisson maniaco-dépressif et fait une crise d'épilepsie en hurlant "pourquoi, pourquoi, pourquoi".
   
   Après avoir repris ses esprits, il explore la planète et les installations des Rouges qui ont tous disparu... ça leur apprendra ! Nous, on con-trôle le petit bonhomme en scaphandre et on le fait sauter dans cet environnement assez vilain qui semble sorti tout droit du logiciel Vistapro des années 90... Sans doute, des ex-travailleurs de chez Lada reconvertis entre deux bouteilles de Vodka (plutôt plusieurs en fait) dans le monde merveilleux des merdes indés.
   
   Interface minimale et monde bien vide, maniement grandement perfectible, cette promenade de kangourou de l'espace devient assez vite barbante malgré un soupçon de curiosité ; on reste dans l'expectative comme dans un X-Files mais rien ne vient expliquer quoi que ce soit. Puis, on bloque éventuellement devant une alimentation de tours Tesla à rétablir et à part danser la lambada ou se précipiter dans le vide, j'ai pas trouvé c'était quoi le schmilblick.
   
   Bon, de toute façon, ça me faisait chier la planète sans vie. Je vais aller ouvrir une bière.… Expand
