amazon Journey To The Savage Planet reviews
Journey To The Savage Planet – First revealed at The Game Awards 2018, Journey To The Savage Planet easily attracts the attention of players through its simple graphics, and colorful tones, but above all its approach is witty, and humorous, with trailers for action gameplay.
Colorful tones, bizarre creatures, dangerous planets, and more. Aren’t we seeing… What year is No Man’s Sky?!
What about the familiar wit and humor of the famous Borderlands series?
So in the end, what does Journey To The Savage Planet bring to players?
Right from the first minutes of the journey, Journey To The Savage Planet welcomes players with a “fun” atmosphere: from the selection of characters like no other to the short films about The importance of the player’s journey to new lands!
So the player “wrapped up” and embarked on a reluctant adventure, lacking in materials and knowing nothing about the destination!
In general, Journey To The Savage possesses gameplay that can be described as “Metroidvaina” three-dimensional version.
Different from other “Metrovania” but difficult games like Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, etc. Journey To The Savage Planet possesses a “moderate” approach to overtaking levels. The terrain is gentle, and not too confusing for players, scattered around are friendly creatures, rarely attacking “indiscriminately”.
Combined with eye-catching colors, the game has succeeded in building a friendly and fancy environment to arouse the curiosity and discovery of players.
At the same time, the areas that require you to fight are also very well equipped with a series of thrown objects, and the trees that help the character heal are spread around.
Moreover, the bright point of this gameplay is best shown through boss battles, with an infinite ammo gun in your hand, your only job is to “erode” the enemy’s health bar by shooting at the enemy yellow water balloons on them, and the good news is: almost every boss has this trait!
The attacks of bosses often attack in a certain pattern, but they are not easy or dangerous enough to cause discomfort to the player.
With a scanner equipped from the beginning of the game, you can use this device to find information about trees, creatures, or even ruins here.
Although not too detailed, the information revealed sometimes also reveals extremely useful content such as the weakness of the creature, and the effect of certain items. More specifically, everything is revealed in the form of… a joke!
Along with the player is also the “virtual assistant” E.K.O, every few seconds he launches a light joke (just like the “talkative” Claptrap of the Borderlands series), even joking after the games. Your not-so-intellectual processing phase is also equal to… a joke.
In general, the above amusing phases are integrated by the developer throughout the gameplay, making the game look like a short sitcom, contributing to the fun of your journey.
But if that much “entertainment” is still not enough, Journey To The Savage also has a team mode (Co-op) that allows adding a character to “mess” with you.
In general, Journey To The Savage has an open world wide enough for players to explore, but with a faded design and a “straight” mission sequence, the game is difficult to hold players back from “exploring” the unfinished things…
First of all, unlike the colorful colors that the game brings, each of the following areas only changes a few types of plants or the same bird with that “cute” shape, but it changed color and name for each different region, sometimes they also become angry and attack you in some other levels.
In general, each subsequent land has the same characteristics as the previous areas, when gradually becoming familiar, the writer no longer feels “satisfied” with the journey or the scene in front of him.
The task in the game is designed in a rather “linear” direction, all activities assigned to the player are guided very enthusiastically through an arrow on the map, which can be compared roughly to “an arrow” lost your way all day running after Google Map, so you just need to follow it!
The missions mentioned here simply require the player to enter an area or interact with an object, followed by a small cutscene and… the end of the mission.
Just like that, a new request appears and continues to ask you to gradually move to unexplored areas and repeat activities.
The quest circuit of Journey To The Savage just like that leads you through from this area to a “strange” place, making the adventure more and more confusing but not interesting at all!
Journey To The Savage Planet is a combination of tons of elements required in an action role-playing game, such as crafting equipment, an open world, or even “training” to upgrade equipment.
However, the above features are built quite superficially, lacking depth, even somewhat making the game “too easy” as needed, making you gradually bored later…
Players will have some basic gun upgrades such as increasing ammo, reload speed or damage, increasing the two-step jump to three steps, or increasing the number of throws you can hold, in fact, the above additions only are small improvements and do not bring too much benefit to the character.
The upgrade system has quite a few outstanding options, but the amount of materials needed becomes quite “expensive” later on.
However, the “training” of materials in Journey To The Savage Planet is not very attractive when it revolves around running to find minerals, destroying monsters, or “fattening” them!
The terrain crossing screen (Platforming) is not too special, simply asking you to jump from one point to another, if you accidentally slip into the abyss, the game will always bring the character back to the previous point.
In addition, a pretty cool mechanism also leads to an experience that can’t be “sadder”, when your only job is to press the right F key to stick to the plane, then the game will orient itself to go for the character without thinking!
