What Journey to the Savage Planet is

Journey to the Savage Planet is an adventure game developed by Typhoon Studios and released in 2020. It was published by 505 Games. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 4.

The premise, in the publisher's words

As the newest recruit of Kindred Aerospace, cheerfully billed as the "4th Best Interstellar Exploration Company," the player is dropped onto the uncharted alien world of ARY-26 with little equipment and a simple assignment: find out whether the planet is fit for human colonization. Landing amid vibrant, bizarre landscapes teeming with strange creatures both harmless and hostile, the explorer sets about cataloguing the local flora and fauna and scavenging resources. Crafting new gear like jetpacks and grappling hooks to reach ever more distant regions, the lone adventurer pushes deeper into the planet's mysteries in a tongue-in-cheek journey of cosmic discovery.
