Revenge of the Savage Planet
Play it on: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PCs (Steam Deck YMMV)
Current goal: No goals, just chaos
I’ve already played a bunch of this excellent sequel to the splendid Journey to the Savage Planet. I enjoyed that game, but I really love this one. It’s third-person, a lot sillier, and it makes kicking the tiny little creatures who inhabit its perilous worlds all the more cruel. I’m not entirely convinced the sense of humor in its spoof ads is for me, but exploring ever-further around these bonkers planets with my ever-growing suite of abilities and weapons is such a satisfying experience. I’m on the second planet now, about to find the third, and it’s a blast. — John Walker
