Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This classic metroidvania gameplay style is elevated even more by challenges, quests and gameplay-impacting collectibles.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You should play this, it's great, it's fun and plays nice on most fairly modern systems and you can even play it with someone in co-op, so I guess it's even more fun playing like that.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is not a linear game but a big open world to explore how you will and that plus good graphics, story and controls is what makes a game worth replaying in my opinion.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While it does open up to many diverse possibilities, better combat challenge and more secrets later, at first everything from crafting to mobility are very limited, and there isn't much to do other than following the main quest.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics of the game is stylized, with vibrant colors, both in the environment and for the animals and flora.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Journey to the Savage Planet's bright, saturated and cartoonish art style, creature design, and sound effects reinforce this.
