Definitive Edition

Journey To The Savage Planet is a game I wanted to try for every since it was launched back in 2020. I never had time to play it, until now. The game seems little bit odd and quirky, and something I would definitely like.

After three years the game got a definitive edition for PS5 Journey To The Savage Planet: Employee Of The Month. It is fully optimized for new hardware, running at 60 frames per second, includes all patches, all DLCs, and a few new cinematics.

Story, Gameplay, Controls and Visuals

Journey To The Savage Planet: Employee Of The Month tells a story of a worker who was sent to alien planet to discover new life forms and analyze them. The story mostly happens in the spaceship where the player gets new missions, mails and video messages from the boss. Everything in the game is filled with lots of humour and rouchiness, it made me smile and I liked how the story was written overall.

The gameplay was rather simple at first. The player has to analyse plants and other life forms and collect materials to craft new items and weapons. Journey To The Savage Planet: Employee Of The Month isn’t just scanning objects, there’s also enemies that you have to deal with. Some of them are easy to kill, but some of them have certain pattern and tactic that player must follow.

There are four different locations to discover and all them have their unique style and life forms. I did find the gameplay not simple and not too difficult to play. It was interesting to find new things and secrets which the worlds hid within. Some enemies were annoying to kill and some places was hard to reach, since the game is also lots of platforming. There were also teleportation points, where, after unlocking them, you could use, so going from place to place was made easier as you played.

The controls in Journey To The Savage Planet: Employee Of The Month were simple. It was a good thing that it was kept rather plain, since everything else in the game were not minimal, but not also extremely grand. All the areas were locked behind new skills, so player must first find materials to craft new items such as a rocketpack or a grappling hook. It opened the areas little by little, which made the game more linear.

Since Journey To The Savage Planet: Employee Of The Month is a definitive edition, the game runs smoothly 60 frames per second/4K. It looked nice even though the graphics looked little dated. I liked how every area had its unique style.

The Last Journey

Journey To The Savage Planet: Employee Of The Month was an interesting game and it took me about 7-8 hours to finish. It wasn’t just analysing your environment, it was also a first person shooting and platforming. All the secrets the game hid was nice to find and rewarding. The rouchy humour and various biomes made the game a nice experience.

Journey To The Savage Planet: Employee Of The Month is available on PS5 (reviewed), PS4 and Xbox Series X|S.
