Revenge of the Savage Planet

87/100

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a must-play game. Excellent visuals, solid game-play, plenty of fun & interesting areas to explore, secrets to uncover, and a overall humorous tone make it a top-notch effort. The included split-screen co-op allowed my son and I to have an awesome adventure together, filled with puzzle-solving and laughs. The game has a few issues such as the second player on co-op split-screen not earning achievements. It’s also worth noting that the game did crash on us about 5-6 times over our 10+ hours playing. However, the overall experience was great. Revenge of the Savage...

A cheery and densely-packed co-op metroidvania that’s here for a good time, not a long time.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a bigger and better sequel, stretching out its joyful mix of platforming, exploration, and puzzle-solving across four diverse and lively planets.

2020 seems like a lifetime ago, and for the developers of Revenge of the Savage Planet, it probably feels like it’s been even longer. Putting all the real world tumult of the past half decade to one side, Raccoon Logic was known as Typhoon Studios at the time and just on the cusp of releasing their debut title, Journey to the Savage Planet, when Google came along and bought them up, setting them to work on Google’s Stadia streaming platform. While Journey to the Savage Planet still arrived on other consoles, the Stadia port came not long before Google decided they didn’t want to make games any...

8/10

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a confident sequel that expands on the original game in all the right ways. Its five densely packed planets are a joy to uncover, more importantly, invite exploration in all the right ways. While the humour is a bit hit or miss and I will personally always miss the first-person, Metroid Prime-like gameplay, some strong level design and a satisfying loop of exploration makes Revenge of the Savage Planet a strong but quirky debut for Raccoon Logic.

Revenge of the Savage Planet’s absurdist corporate satire strikes far closer to home than the planet-hopping adventure would have you believe.

7/10

While Revenge makes some improvements over Journey, I certainly wanted more from it than what is here. The third person perspective is ideal for this series, and there is a lot of potential for a third game. However, a lack of combat focus and story hurt it overall.

Five and a bit years after the release of Journey to the Savage Planet, developer Raccoon Logic Studios has made it their mission to release a sequel that expands upon a quirky formula and offers new and returning pioneers the opportunity to survive a savage world.

There are good career decisions and bad ones, but it's safe to say that any job requiring company solvency a century after it starts can best be described as "terrrible" and only goes downhill from there. Still, it's too late now for a lone settler dispatched to a remote solar system to oversee the creation of a homestead for colonists who will never arrive, so the only options are to either accept living out the rest of their days alone or figure out a way back to civilization. With an upbeat floating robo-drone by their side and a pile of equipment that was cheaper for Alta Interglobal (mott...
