Between this you’ll be finding the occasional hidden collectible, plus in some cases you’ll be making sure your oxygen supplies are sufficient. You’ll also be pushing rocks and obstacles around, using them to help scale higher areas. It’s not just rocks you’ll be scaling though: there’ll be pipes, vines and even geysers to lift you momentously to high platforms. Lifeless Planet plays like a platformer – most of the time you’ll find yourself exploring the barren rocky lands, scaling precipitous cliff edges as you jump from platform to platform. It doesn’t ruin the story by any means, but a bit more structure would have some of the later sections of the game a bit less convoluted. Things will happen without much explanation, requiring the main character’s following narrative to actually work out what happened. My only real issue is how sometimes the cut scenes can seem a bit nonsensical – especially towards the back end of the game. The game does keep you engaged – from the mysterious start to the satisfying ending, you keep discovering more and more about what has actually happened on the planet and its relationship to Earth. There’s enough mystery on the planet to keep you intrigued and guessing you may uncover next, along with collectible logs that give you a bit more detail about the back story of the planet and how previous events had unfolded. It’s a throw back to classic sci-fi stories and it’s effective. The story isn’t too complicated, but it serves its purpose. There’s also the mysterious hallucinations the main character has – are these the work of the planet or does the main character have a troubled state of mind? Of course, the mysteries continue to unfold with deadly life forms on the planet along with a strange Russian woman, unknown to be friend or foe, who seems to be able to survive on the planet’s hostile surface. He begins to look for the rest of his crewmates who were meant to have landed on the planet, but instead uncovered signs of human settlements on the planet. The planet was supposed to be rich with life, but instead a barren wasteland lay before him. The game opens with the main character crash landing on the planet. Was it a pleasant experience, or did the game feel as lifeless as the planet itself? I went into the game with an expectation on the feel of the game, but without knowing truly how it played.

I actually skipped the PC release of the game and instead opted to play the Xbox One release of Lifeless Planet, dubbed the ‘Premier Edition’. The Kickstarter campaign was a success, achieving its target within 24 hours, and the game launched in March 2014. It really had that feeling of a classic sci-fi movie. There was something about the vibe of the game that appealed to me: a lone astronaut on a desolate planet, unravelling its many mysteries. I’ve been interested in Lifeless Planet since the Kickstarter campaign initially caught my eye back in 2011.
