Revenge of the Savage Planet is many things, but first and foremost it is a comedy game. And in the videogame market, there’s not a lot of those available. That’s because comedy is subjective, and it can be difficult for a game developer to make something seem funny to a wide audience.
That’s why most games may have some humour as part of their story to help with the pacing, but very few developers will take the risk to try and make an entire game seem funny to the players.
With that in mind, let me say that Revenge of the Savage Planet is best enjoyed if you play it when you’re having a good or even a normal day. If you play it on a bad day, or with a bad mood in general, you might glaze over all the jokes and not be too impressed with the barebones gameplay.
The game tries to be funny whenever and wherever it can. Starting from the walking and running animations of the main character, to the way it delivers its story, the game just wants you to have a smile on your face at all times.
That’s not to say that comedy is all that this game has to offer. It is also an action-adventure game, a kind of survival game, and an exploration game, with beautiful environments and a co-op feature that lets you enjoy the game with a friend.
