![]() There are also creatures in the world that run from you in fear or simply float through the air as you explore through four different biomes. While there are aggressive predators and bosses, there are also creatures like the adorable big-eyed and round Puffbirds that you can either kill for resources or feed in order to gain more of those resources in a flatulent way. With the Kindex and science experiments, which pushes you to interact with the planet differently than just running through and killing life forms, it’s clear that you gain more by scanning the planet and learning different ways to interact with it. That said, with Mission Surveys and company-wide messages stored in your Javelin as well, the writing team used bureaucracy to their advantage.īut beyond the humor, exploration is the focus of Journey to the Savage Planet. While crafting and skill trees offer up some RPG-lite elements and you carry a pistol to deal with the predators on ARY-26, the main focus of the game is exploration first. From Meat Buddy to Brain Wipes, the creativity that goes into the absurdity of these videos shows how much the developers at Typhoon wanted to ensure you had a great time while playing. Every time I walk into the Javelin, I take the time to watch them on the monitor because I know they’ll either disturb me, make me laugh, or both. The videos range from updates from your CEO Martin Tweed containing mission updates to ads for products that your company is at the heart of creating. The Javelin is the ship you landed in which holds a 3D printer for crafting items as you collect materials in the world and where you respawn after having an exploration mishap on ARY-26. From poems to quirky descriptions of the fauna as you scan them to collect their information, reading out some of the descriptions that pop up in your Kindex, your codex that stores all of the information you collect as you scan parts of the planet, EKO is never at a loss for words.Īdditionally, the humor carries into the videos shown on the Kindred Javelin. Spoken by EKO, your AI that guides you, the dialogue is sarcastic, sassy, and exists to make you laugh while also judging your bad platforming skills. One of the reasons that the world pulls you in is its dialogue. The game is a solid adventure with exploration, crafting, platforming, and so much humor that keeps you engaged from the moment you put it in until eight hours later when you realize that you probably should have eaten lunch. The exciting thing? It doesn’t look like you were the first to find it. Dropped onto an uncharted planet dubbed AR-Y 26 with no plan and absolutely no support from your bosses, it’s up to you to catalog the planet and determine if it’s fit for human expansion. Published by 505 Games and developed by Typhoon Studios, Journey to the Savage Planet is a first-person adventure that throws you into the position of an explorer under the employ of the fourth-best interstellar exploration company in the world, Kindred Aerospace – a fact that your bosses are extremely proud of. Add in bright colors, adorable fauna, and totally absurd flora all inspired by the golden age of science fiction and that’s what you get with Journey to the Savage Planet. In games, movies, and books, the ability to research, explore and expand your idea of the universe is a concept that pulls me in right away. ![]() ![]() Science fiction, specifically space adventures where you get to explore new planets, is one of my favorite genres. ![]()
