    Journey to the Savage Planet was a pleasant surprise because it offered us the chance to delve into a kind of Metroid Prime that was much more casual than Retro Studios' title. Now, Revenge of the Savage Planet leaves that path behind and opts for massive content, despite being very consistent in most of its gameplay. It's a fun game packed with things to do, but we missed the more adventurous development of the first installment in the series. It's still a very enjoyable action-exploration title, especially in the company of a friend.

    Revenge of the Savage Planet bursts with charm and smart systems but stumbles over clunky UI, repetition and performance hiccups. Look past its flaws, and you’ll find a colorful, co-op-fueled adventure that leaves you wanting more.

    Revenge of the Savage Planet is a successful and improved sequel to its predecessor with a larger universe, four planets to explore and a change of perspective to third person. We appreciate its enriched and smoother gameplay, new weapons and the addition of local co-op which really add to the fun. We are also delighted to see the return of the game's slapstick humour and colourful art direction, which remain key elements that reinforce its unique identity. Despite a few minor bugs and some aspects that may divide opinion, such as the third-person view and the absurd parody, this intergalactic adventure, while not revolutionising the genre, remains enjoyable and will delight fans of exploration. We recommend playing it with a friend. Since it is already available in Xbox Game Pass, it would be a shame to miss out!
