Journey to the Savage Planet is a wonderfully unique mixture of No Man's Sky-style exploration and Metroidvania puzzling and platforming with a wonderfully dark sense of humour that arrives here on Switch in a slightly compromised but still eminently playable state.

Journey to the Savage Planet knows it’s wacky and embraces that. In 2020 I need to smile more, and Savage Planet made me feel great, even if I was covered in goo.

This comedy exploration game blasts off with a lot of fresh ideas, but doesn't quite stick the landing.

Journey to the Savage Planet provides a fun world to explore from start to finish, even if the shooting doesn't feel great.

A short and satisfying space adventure which really is laugh out loud funny

It might lack some polish, but Journey to the Savage Planet is an enjoyable jaunt across a strange, open-ended landscape. This is a game you play in order to explore its intriguing environment and interact with the wildlife -- combat is fairly dull, attempts at humour rarely land, and the story almost feels like an afterthought at times. If you're looking for an easy-going sci-fi action game, this just about does enough to satisfy.

Ex Ubi veterans take us on a tongue-in-cheek adventure.

Journey to the Savage Planet is an absurd look at expendable workers
