A evaluate.
At the moment’s evaluate is due to a key supplied by Raccoon Logic Studios. Revenge of the Savage Planet can be out there on Sport Go.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is the sequel to Journey to the Savage Planet, a sport that I loved and admittedly by no means completed. The unique was a primary individual shooter and when you haven’t performed it but I extremely advocate that you simply achieve this. It’s not required studying to know the sequel. Revenge in the meantime is a 3rd individual platformer that most likely brings again plenty of what folks loved from the unique. Just like the scathing commentary on capitalism.
The plot of the sport is straightforward; you might be despatched out on 100 12 months journey via house solely to find upon touchdown in your designated planet that the corporate has been purchased out and also you’ve been laid off throughout your lengthy sleep and your mission has been cancelled by the brand new house owners. So that you’ll need to scavenge for provides and get your ship in working form so you may get again dwelling and doubtless beat the crap out of some overstuffed CEO. Or commit company espionage I assume. You get some assist from an previous pal alongside the best way. RIP Adrian Burhop.
I might describe Revenge as a metroidvania of types. You could have a number of planets you find yourself unlocking entry to and the entire aim is to get extra upgrades so you possibly can entry totally different components of the map and get extra upgrades to entry extra components of extra maps. The sport itself will not be notably tough, particularly because you gobble down tons of things that increase your max well being and stamina fairly rapidly. Very similar to Journey it’s actually about having fun with the world the builders have constructed with its wacky characters and exaggerated premise.
You monitor down schematics and assets to craft upgrades to make it simpler to trace down schematics and assets to craft upgrades. I by no means had the issue of not having sufficient assets as a result of there’s tons of it laying round and except you make a beeline from quest to quest with no assortment in between you’ll be nice the second the sport asks you to construct an improve.
Revenge is a reasonably darn good wanting sport and one which’s enjoyable to run round in. Collectathon players will admire the large amount of issues to run round gathering and individuals who hate puzzles shall be relieved to know that they aren’t precisely complicated. You ultimately get the power to grapple wherever and get your personal glider, making journey a breeze. And each planet has a number of teleporters so if you could get to a selected spot it’s normally not a lot of a trek.
Enemies in Revenge are rather more of a nuisance than a problem. I actually began to get aggravated with the fight on the tail finish, and it wasn’t due to the mechanics themselves. It’s grating and annoying when sure enemies don’t die however merely regenerate after some time, and also you’re making an attempt to determine imprecise instructions for a puzzle solely to have the identical two or three enemies come again time after time after time. There are additionally zones the place sure enemies endlessly spawn in irrespective of what number of you kill. Some appear to exist for no different motive than to be annoying, being grouped in giant numbers in a small house with assaults that stun you and means too huge well being swimming pools.
Revenge can be often imprecise to the purpose of being downright deceptive. As an illustration there’s a side-quest the place you need to kick 5 enemies into quicksand. You’re presupposed to kick them into tar sand, which confused me as a result of the sport outright describes the tar sand as “not quicksand” so I assumed I needed to discover some other place for the mission. A few of the targets are downright tedious, like stunning 5 enemies without delay. The issue right here is technical, the sport doesn’t shock enemies previous a detailed distance out of your character even when they’re standing on high of conductive materials. So you possibly can blanket an entire space with the gel wanted to electrocute simply to observe the enemies within the distance not react in any respect.
Revenge took me about fourteen hours to finish, and I’m certain if I went again and grabbed all of the collectibles I’d get one other two hours or so out of it. It’s not a premium-tier sport, the common model will set you again forty bucks. I discovered it to be charming and enjoyable for the time that I performed and I kinda hope the parents at Raccoon Logic add again a primary individual mode to make it really feel extra like Journey.
Test it out and like and subscribe for extra movies.
