There are side quests, plenty of exploring, and hundreds of collectibles along the way to keep you distracted. Journey to the Savage Planet isn’t just a straight shoot from start to finish. She’ll helpfully point out nearby points of interest, inform you about the wildlife, and offer up new side quests for valuable upgrades. This task is made easier with the help of EKO, the friendly – and sassy – AI companion. Now you’re on the clock for documenting the wildlife and finding fuel so you can get back home. Obviously, you can’t very well return to Earth a hero for finding a habitable planet with a broken ship, so your objective expands. Your ship doesn’t as much as land on this strange planet as it does crash and burn. The only problem is that you’re part of the Kindred Aerospace suite of explorers, the “fourth best” company when it comes to space travel. The end goal is to find the planet habitable for humans.
You’re an explorer that has been sent to a distant planet to scan the environment and catalogue the local flora and fauna. The premise of Journey to the Savage Planet is a simple one. The quirky alien world is home to gorgeous environments, fluid traversal mechanics, tantalizing exploration opportunities, and simple yet pleasing combat. Journey to the Savage Planet, the first game by a small team of developers at Typhoon Studios, is a small and thoroughly delightful experience.
