JOURNEY TO THE SAVAGE PLANET STADIA SERIES

Journey to the Savage Planet appears to be a game at war with itself. While some reviewers revelled in the fart-laced corporate satire and surreal FMV advertisements, others criticised its lack of substance and failure to fully commit. Leaning heavily on humour to sell itself, Journey to the Savage Planet walks a thin line between hit and flop. This is a point illustrated by Joe Skrebels in his six out of ten review for IGN: 'Perhaps its biggest fault is that, as time goes on, it feels as though it can't quite escape the inexorable gravitational pull towards combat video games so often have, ending with a feeling of 'cut-price Far Cry', rather than the grand science fiction experiment it could and perhaps should have been.'

'Journey To The Savage Planet just wants you to have the best possible time' Nick Gillett, The Metro However, others found the game also unfortunately weighed down by its Far Cry genetics. Clearly taking notes from games like The Outer Worlds and No Man's Sky, critics say it still manages to stand on its own two feet. Is Journey to a Savage Planet able to deliver the goods, though? And how does Hutchinson perform with a smaller team, outside the constraints of Ubisoft's particular brand of sandbox game?Ī satirical Metroid-inspired collectathon, Journey to the Savage Planet has been met with mixed critical reception.

High on Life developer Squanch Games refused to comment on the report but this game was announced at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Show on June 12 as an Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One console launch exclusive. No details on that game have ever been revealed but Supermassive was left “looking for a publishing partner as came to completion” according to its new publisher 2K Games. Neither of the games have ever been confirmed to have been Stadia titles, although The Quarry’s developer Supermassive Games did announce a partnership with Google back in 2020. A signature Stadia release was intended to be an exclusive title designed to attract players to the platform. According to a report from Axios, both The Quarry and High on Life were intended to be signature Stadia releases before the downsizing sent both games in a different direction. It seems like others were more fortunate, though. Several planned games were canceled, such as Journey to the Savage Planet 2. Before a title developed by an internal studio had even been released on the cloud gaming service, Google shut down Stadia Games and Entertainment. Google Stadia was originally intended to be a rival to Xbox and PlayStation, but it didn’t happen that way.
