Planet Alpha offers a relaxing entertainment for 5-7hours (based on platforming skill and how much time you need to figure out puzzles) with good visuals and despite the darkness problems at some part of the game i really enjoyed it.

The 2.5D style was used well, giving a lot of depth (and there was a lot of things happening in the background as well, which made the world feel so alive) and the platforming elements worked great for me, just the right difficulty for me (which means it wasn't too hard).
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game play is also nice with crisp and responsive controls with a controller and playing with the keyboard is fairly easy as well.
