Lifeless Planet Premier Edition review
Meh
by remitoid

The plot is not interesting enough to make up for the boring gameplay, which consists of running, easy platforming, reading the occasional log file and solving simple puzzles.

I enjoy the story in this game and it was paced decently for most of it, though a few levels later on could've been trimmed a bit. Overall the gameplay is fine but it doesn't handle some platforming the best. I found myself dying from hitting a spot the game couldn't register which was more funny than anything. There are some good mechanics later on that were used well. The graphics aren't the best but given how old and indie it is that's not surprising and it doesn't take away from the experience. The sound and music is pretty good and used very well at certain points in the story.

Early Access Review DE: Very interesting Game with a harmonious Atmosphere and a Story that makes you curious about more. Graphic and acoustic for a 1-Man studio very impressive. If you liked "Journey" on the PS3, you can easily access it here as well. EN: Very interested game with a coherent that atmosphere arouse my curiosity for more. Graphical and acoustical a very impressing project for a One-man studio. If you liked "Journey" on the PS3, you'll probably like this game.

Mediocre Metascore? Admit it's a Walking Simulator with simple Puzzles and simple Gameplay, even the Presentation is very simple and the Graphics are expedient. For this you will be rewarded with an exciting and fantastic Sci-Fi Story that motivates you to Continue playing and captivates to The End. Then, when you still consider that the whole thing was developed by a One-man team, respectful! For anyone who sees the Story As The main Reason for The story at games and does not shy Away from the drygen presentation. 7/10 Points

Lifeless Planet is more of a work of Art than a Game. The Approach was quite interesting and the Atmosphere is really good, but the actual Game behind it is rather weak. The Jumping Interludes are not always optimal and the World is also quite empty. You can Also really argue about the actual Story. However, Lifeless Planet is a rather quieter and short game for in between, which can be particularly briefly impressed by its incredibly good Atmosphere. Those who can embark on this Adventure will be worth the Trip for, but all Others will be rather disappointed.

Lifeless Planet is a Game that is not only beautiful but does not fight, little Puzzles are also in it and a good Atmosphere has it too. Unfortunately, I am stuck on a Piece Of rock. Don't Feel like going to the last Memory Point, because it's pretty far behind. And that's what makes the Game so. You play that and you just forget to save it in between. It's sometimes tiresdent when you're so alone on a foreign Planet, maybe alone (or not?) wandering around. But it's exciting anyway and I'll be hiking again soon ... Because I want to know ... What happened...

The Strengths of the Game are the Atmosphere, the Story and the Sound that tear you along. Lots of Jump & Run and here and there a Puzzle (easy to medium), which are very coherent and fit well into the Spiel/Story. The Game is quite short with just under 5 Hours of Play, but that is not to the Detriment of the Game. In the Game is not fought, it is defiance everything very exciting and one or the other Horror second Was also there:) I couldn't get enough of the beautiful Panoramic views over the Planet and over the numerous different Places. The Control is very easy and quick to learn. In Short: A beautiful Game with an insane Atmosphere and good Sound, a very good Substitute for a few TV evenings or an exciting Book.
