It's not a super long huge ridiculously open world game, but the content that is there is GORGEOUS, downright hilarious at points, and extremely polished. This is without a doubt one of the gems of 2020. If you're into exploring neon-colored alien planets, looking through nooks and crannies for secrets, punting adorable alien birds into the gaping maw of a living garbage disposal with tentacles, and silly dialogue...this is the game for you. Just don't expect a 20+ hour rpg. That's not what JTTSP is meant to be, but it also doesn't cost as much as one. The level of polish is worth the entry price imo. Just look at screenshots and if the aesthetic draws you in, take the plunge.… Expand

   Imagine if Super Mario Galaxy was played in first person, but we give him a gun, grappling hook and jump boots. Or imagine Metroid Prime butImagine if Super Mario Galaxy was played in first person, but we give him a gun, grappling hook and jump boots. Or imagine Metroid Prime but much less serious and we place it in the wacky world of No Man's Sky or Spore instead. Then add a bit of the tongue-in-cheek humor from Portal or Stanley Parable and you get pretty close to what it feels to play Journey To The Savage Planet. It's a bit of an unusual mix but it works, and more importantly it feels fresh, fun and fairly unique.
   
   Gameplay wise the movement is fast, fluid and smooth. The controls are good and responsive, although if you play with a keyboard I think they could have done a better job of combining keys with each other, there is for example no reason that the "crouch" and "slide" key need to be different. What also is quite fun is that towards the later half of the game they essentially give you powerful enough movement options to essentially "break" the early areas of the game which you previously struggled with. I think this is quite fun game design since it makes the player feel empowered and gives a nice sense of progression.
   
   In terms of graphics it's pretty much gorgeous, the colorful cartoony style suits the game and it runs great. On a medium to powerful rig I think most people should be able to achieve close to 100fps or more. There are also some gorgeous vistas in this game with old ruins, floating islands, waterfalls, underground lava caverns etc. For me the world felt very much like Super Mario Galaxy with the graphics turned up 11, which I can only see as a good thing.
   
   The story has a fairly standard sci-fi exploration arc, but it's well done and narrated with plenty of humor. You might guess what's coming but you still want to see what's around the corner and how it plays out. There are however two things which might detract a bit from the game and they are as follows:
   
   1) The tone of the game is fairly inconsistent early to late game, perhaps a bit more than what can be chalked down to normal progression. The beginning of the game is so easy you might initially think this is a pure exploration game, then comes the mid-game and you now have a decent mix of exploration, platforming and combat. But then comes the late game and it's now a pretty advanced platformer with quite a lot of combat and mini-bosses. It's a interesting progression but perhaps the game is also trying to be too many things at once. If someone wants to explore they would probably prefer a pure exploration game, maybe with light combat. If someone wants to kill aliens they would probably prefer a game that focuses more on that. And while the platforming is well done they might have overdone it a tad. Personally I would have preferred more unique exploration and puzzles in the late game with less enemies and combat.
   
   2) The late game gets a bit repetitive. I think what's really missing from this game for me is a more Zelda like feel in the later half of the game. The game starts out extremely strong and the first time you see the world it feels very unique and interesting, it's a lot of fun to figure out how this world works and what the rules are. But in the later half of the game you've learned all the rules and the game now starts to feel a bit stale. There's quite a few things to collect but even those challenges start to feel pretty repetitive after a while, a bit like filler content. In the first half of the game the world felt very wild and like anything can happen, but in the later half of the game there are few surprises and you as the player feel a bit too safe and familiar.
   
   So if I was to change anything about this game I would tone down the combat and platforming in the later half of the game and focus more on exploration and story, give it some Zelda like dungeons and mystery. But as it stands this is still a fun and fairly unique game on the market, and it should work well for different age groups too. Here's to hoping we get more interesting and original games from Typhoon Studios in the future.… Expand

   Constant crashes I don't know why. Play fornite all the time without any issues. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with this game.
