That's not really a bad thing as long as you don't go into Lifeless Planet thinking you'll need any logic or thought - the game is awesome as a walking sim. Only towards the end did the puzzles actually take some thinking and planning, and even then, it was still extremely straightforward. I'm not even sure that any of them can even be called a puzzle anyway because it's always the same thing, and it's really mindless: all you do is grab the ball with the mechanical arm and drag it to the hole.
#LIFELESS PLANET PREMIER EDITION AELITA SIMULATOR#
Although the game sells itself as an action-adventure puzzle platformer, it's really a walking simulator with platforming and light puzzles. That being said, there isn't much to explore anyway. It's not just that it's difficult to tell where you can jump to and where you'll plummet to your death, it's also the fact that the game has checkpoints, so you'll be brought to the same spot over and over. Additionally, although at first I was excitedly exploring every nook and cranny I could find (as well as parkouring everywhere), my adventurous spirit soon withered because of the constant deaths. I spent a lot of time just wandering around, trying to figure out where I had to go because of it. Without any sort of marker or indication of what I was supposed to be doing - aside from the notes the astronaut was making to detail his journey - it was very easy to get lost and confused. What happened to the crew? Why was the planet barren?Īlthough the complete lack of HUD is one of the most charming aspects for me, I think it might get annoying for some people. The complete lack of HUD paired up with the sporadically-sounding soundtrack made the world seem so much bigger and emptier than any other title I have played I was immediately sucked into the story. I'm a huge fan of survival and space-themed games, and despite all the ones I've tried, Lifeless Planet is the only one that's made me feel the hollowness of being stranded on a dead planet. The premise itself is haunting, but rarely does a developer actually capture the essence of the empty loneliness in such stories. Shortly after, he discovers his crew has been murdered, and the only other living being is a Russian woman named Aelita, who has strange powers. Upon waking up, he finds out that the crew is missing and that the land that was supposed to be lush with green is actually a barren wasteland. Lifeless Planet is a puzzle platformer that follows the story of an nameless astronaut who is sent off with his crew to survey a planet with a promising habitat unfortunately, something goes wrong during the landing and their vessel crashes.
