Revenge of the Savage Planet

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.

A zany, knockabout co-op action adventure that's kaleidoscopically colourful but wears you out before you get to the good stuff.

A witty take on sci-fi and co-op that's teeming with life and begging for you to get creative with its gadgets.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a large, ambitious adventure with great visuals, varied gameplay, and split-screen co-op to boot that's a great sequel to an underrated sci-fi platformer. However, the crude humour and corporate satire can be grating and the whole game feels like a collection of shallow busywork – though the design of the final few hours is exemplary.

Though its story ultimately feels unfocused and its one-note action leaves it lacking in identity, Revenge of the Savage Planet succeeds as a sci-fi romp. It lets players loose into a series of interplanetary playgrounds designed to be sucked dry by a corporate drone tasked with becoming a bully. It’s a charming slice of dark comedy that’s perhaps not mean enough to totally land its point.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a fully 3D open-world Metroidvania, where each new upgrade opens up new paths to useful resources in the earlier areas

Revenge of the Savage Planet improves on its predecessor in every way, introducing new beasts, weapons, collectables, and plenty of absurdity.

"Revenge of the Savage Planet is a brilliantly chaotic and wildly entertaining sequel that successfully elevates the franchise's signature corporate-satire formula. The bold shift to a third-person perspective works wonders for traversal and platforming, making exploration across its multiple vibrant alien worlds a sheer joy. With the inclusion of a robust base-building mechanic and an addictive creature-taming system, Raccoon Logic delivers an expansive sandbox that shines brightest in co-op mode. While the mid-game progression suffers from a tedious resource grind and the third-person combat can occasionally feel clunky in tight spaces, the game’s immense charm, humor, and mechanical depth make it a trip well worth taking."

With four new planets to explore, coorful visuals and occasionally aggressive humor, Revenge of the Savage Planet is just as fun as the first one. But the monotonous combat mechanics and enemies that attack you almost non-stop can get tiresome after a while.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is the only game where you’ll get to enjoy both getting fired from your job and the subsequent corporate motivational video. It’s colorful, absurd, cheeky, and definitely not certified by any safety agency. The game doesn’t take itself seriously, and that’s exactly why it’s more entertaining than a team-building exercise with aliens. If you’ve been missing a combination of sci-fi, corporate cynicism, and colorful chaos in the gaming scene, here’s everything you need in one package.
