Revenge of the Savage Planet (v117297 & ALL DLC)

Corporate absurdity and bright alien wilderness collide in a playful sci-fi adventure built around curiosity, traversal, and petty revenge. Stranded after your employer cuts you loose on an uncharted frontier, you are left to turn hostile planets into a route home while uncovering exactly how badly the company has mishandled its mission. Revenge of the Savage Planet keeps the irreverent humor of its predecessor but shifts to a third-person perspective, making its slapstick movement and creature encounters easier to appreciate. The mood stays colorful and silly even when alien wildlife is trying to flatten, poison, or swallow you.

Progress comes from thoroughly investigating several open-ended planets, scanning their flora and fauna, gathering resources, and completing research objectives to earn new equipment. Your expanding toolset supports platforming as much as combat: you sprint, double-jump, grapple, grind along rails, dodge attacks, stomp obstacles, and use different goo types to alter enemies and environments. Strange animals can be wrangled and brought back to pens near your home base, while collected curiosities and gear help personalize your space trailer. Exploration is deliberately dense, with caves, vertical routes, hidden upgrades, environmental puzzles, and optional scientific experiments rewarding players who refuse to follow only the critical path.

Co-op is a major strength, supporting both online cross-platform play and local split-screen, so a second player can turn the adventure into a shared scavenger hunt. Its worlds are less about survival-game grind or punishing combat than the joyful loop of finding a suspicious landmark, gaining the right gadget, and returning later to pry open its secrets. The satirical corporate framing, cartoonish creatures, and toybox movement evoke the offbeat charm of Journey to the Savage Planet, with a little of Ratchet & Clank’s gadget-driven energy. It suits newcomers who want accessible exploration and veterans who enjoy clearing maps, collecting everything, and experimenting with systems alongside a friend.
