Revenge of the Savage Planet: PS5 Review

If you're after a quirky out of the box kind of experience, then Revenge of the Savage Planet's cartoony edges are perfect.

Your character is a survivor, who's been abandoned on an alien planet with no job after your former employer Alta Interglobal decided to financially cut off your space mission. The result? Freedom, but at the cost of needing to try and get home without any help - that's the downside, but the plus side is that you have all the company resources at your fingertips to help.

Sitting between a survival sim and a platformer, there's plenty for you to do - from building 3D structures to repelling invaders, there's much to keep you occupied throughout this game as you head across four unique biomes trying to survive.

Combat can be a touch clunky throughout this game and while the graphics are fun and feel tactile and cartoon-like, the game struggles to really create any actual identity for itself outside of the basics. While the world that's been created is colourful enough, the missions within can verge on the colourless at times, instead of packing in some of the vibrancy you'd maybe hope for.

Scan, kill, explore and navigate are the game's raison d'etre and while it's playable enough fare and fun, Revenge of the Savage Planet will help you pass away a few afternoons in front of the console.
