Comments

Maybe the limit of Journey to the Savage Planet is right the one to want to be funny at any cost. Developing a little less the gameplay, it results a shallow game.

Let’s do any experiment on the animals met and on the fauna

Infact the title runs fast and it very surprises, especially on the long time. The thing though is that it’s able to let us smile and to let us pass moments of relax. The trend is that a some point we will look for the next gag unless than going on with the story of the game.

With the cooperation mode of Journey to the Savage Planet fortunatelly the experience become much more varied. We might so be able to host a friend or to be hosted inside his mission. The level of the coop mode is due to the progression of the game of the hosting figure.

Even if it’s a modest game, Journey to the Savage Planet was able to conquer Google that bought it to add it in the titles of Stadia.
