The Abandoned Planet

I'll start out by saying that I'm a sucker for "alone in an abandoned world" adventure games. And The Abandoned Planet certainly meets that criteria. That alone was enough for me to give this one a try and I am so glad that I did. The alien planet is beautiful and the puzzles inventive, but it's the story that gripped me the most. Especially when you find out why this world was so empty with pretty much nothing but ruins and vegetation. Highly recommended for fans of first-person exploration games.

This game is absolutely fantastic! I was hesitant to pick it up because I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really wish I picked it up sooner. This is my favorite point and click game. The environment is beautiful. The sound design was peaceful and ambient with lots of lovely beeps, boops, drips, whirs, and hums. The character design was intriguing. The puzzles were accessible when I gave it an appropriate amount of thought. The level of polish the game presents is impressive. The pacing is better than any point and click I've played. I got it on sale for $5 which was an absolute steal. The Abandoned Planet deserves an overwhelmingly positive rating.

I had a lot of fun with this one! - Great atmosphere - Nice "chunky" pixel art - Satisfying puzzles - Good sound design Small criticism: - Would have enjoyed it more if it was completely low-res pixel art (including UI) - The UI is a bit inconsistent (especially regarding movement) - There were a few visual glitches in the UI Overall: clearly a labor of love! 💜 Well worth the money! Thank you for a few hours of great entertainment!
