We reviewedJourney to the Savage Planetearlier this year, and overall found it to be potentially one of this year’s sleeper hits. Laddie Simco explained in her review thatSavage Planet"offers a ton of enjoyment in both its gameplay and storytelling," and that “it’s a brilliant and bright universe that contains hidden dangers that betray its beauty.”
Recently,the game was updated to include a New Game Plus modefor those that want to return to the game with an added level of challenge.
