Most of the locations you visit are rocky terrain and deserts. The game rewards you with a new trophy for dying every possible way.

I should also note for the trophy hunters out there: Don’t try and avoid death. These were a lot of fun to use but the game only allowed you to use them when it wanted which is a shame as it would give away what was ahead. There are parts in the game where you will get access to super thrusters, as I call them, allowing you to jump six to seven times midair to cross massive chasms. Jump too soon and you will see yourself falling to your death quite a bit. None of it is especially difficult, though I did fall to my death on occasion because you can’t really control yourself while in midair. The game features puzzles which require moving and carrying rocks from one place to another as well as using a mechanical arm that you find to solve some mystery puzzles, which I won’t spoil here as it would give away important story points. You transverse the treacherous terrain of the planet with your trusty thrusters, jumping from one landmass to another. The astronaut I was controlling kept having hallucinations of a bed and his wife, which raised a lot of questions that were never really answered.Īs far as the gameplay goes, Lifeless Planet is as simple of a platformer as you can get. The question always comes up: How would we react to an alien race visiting our planet? Lifeless Planet asks the opposite question: What would happen if we were the alien race visiting another planet? My only knock on the story is that it’s a bit dragged out and most things aren’t even explained. I don’t want to spoil anything from the story, but the way it depicts humanity as a whole is perfect. From the moment the game started to its end I was completely hooked. The story that follows is an emotional one, told mostly through audio tapes and personal logs, where our astronaut must figure out what happened to this once-lush planet and how the old Soviet Union ended up on this planet light years away from Earth. Separated from the rest of his crew, he heads out following the tracks they left behind. Lifeless Planet tells the story of an American astronaut who crash lands on a desolate planet, that according to records should be teeming with lush green forests and able to sustain human life.
