I was really enjoying this, but it has gamebreaking glitches that will never be fixed because Google fired everyone.

The first time you return to the ship with Alien Alloy, no matter how many you've collected, the game only counts it as one. Every other one you collected will be permanently lost. You can no longer 100% the game, and …

Bought the Savage Planet DLC so I could finish the game and the DLC together, and totally forgot that - upon choosing a "character" in the profile creator in game - I chose "dog" as a joke, and am now hearing barks and whines and remembering just how much I love this games absolute commitment to a bit.

This is easily an all time favorite now. This reminds me why I love gaming in the first place. It used to be FUN, and that's all this title is. Absolutely unbridled, ridiculous, over the top fun. God bless this game and hopefully the new studio manages to get that sequel made.

This game is AMAZING. It's like the fun and cuteness and comedy of Slime Rancher mixed with the concept of No Man's Sky, but with a heavy portion of the realism and unnecessary difficulty removed. Why has NOBODY talked about this???

Stadia Developers Can't Fix The Bugs In Their Own Game Because Google Fired Them

More red flags about the state of Stadia. Worse than that, given Google is the publisher of the game and they shut Typhoon down completely at the beginning of the month (1 Feb 2021), I suspect that means this also will affect any future updates (or lack thereof) for the other platforms. 505 published the game on all other platforms, but there is no Typhoon to work on updates. And if Google owns the game, it's up to them to deliver any patches or updates, which is unlikely now that the devs of the game are no longer employed by Google.

Bad news for fans of the game and for Stadia subscribers alike.

This game is simultaneously a lot of fun and exceptionally annoying to play. It's well crafted but things like platforming and combat feel shoehorned in, with neither feeling smoothly integrated or enjoyable.

This game is simultaneously a lot of fun and exceptionally annoying to play. It's well crafted but things like platforming and combat feel shoehorned in, with neither feeling smoothly integrated or enjoyable. Perhaps it is intentionally, to provide a sense that your explorer is a bit bumbling and crashing their way through the alien landscape. But it makes for very uneven game play. Sometimes its a joy to play, and at other times it feels like you'd gain more enjoyment from banging your head against the wall than you would trying to accurately jump to another platform in Journey to the Savage Planet. I also think the devs are aware that the combat in the game is not particularly fun, which is why combat encounters are fairly rare. Again, maybe it is to make you feel a bit overwhelmed by the alien creatures you face, but combat seems unnaturally bolted on.

On a positive note, the game is gorgeous and exploration is certainly a blast. I just wish the game felt a little less disjointed overall.

I’m kind of flabbergasted by the titles that Microsoft continues to add to Project xCloud. I know one day we’ll have to pay for this but it’s quite amazing what we can access in beta.
