The story has a fairly standard sci-fi exploration arc, but it's well done and narrated with plenty of humor. For me the world felt very much like Super Mario Galaxy with the graphics turned up 11, which I can only see as a good thing. There are also some gorgeous vistas in this game with old ruins, floating islands, waterfalls, underground lava caverns etc. On a medium to powerful rig I think most people should be able to achieve close to 100fps or more. In terms of graphics it's pretty much gorgeous, the colorful cartoony style suits the game and it runs great. I think this is quite fun game design since it makes the player feel empowered and gives a nice sense of progression. What also is quite fun is that towards the later half of the game they essentially give you powerful enough movement options to essentially "break" the early areas of the game which you previously struggled with. The controls are good and responsive, although if you play with a keyboard I think they could have done a better job of combining keys with each other, there is for example no reason that the "crouch" and "slide" key need to be different. Gameplay wise the movement is fast, fluid and smooth.
It's a bit of an unusual mix but it works, and more importantly it feels fresh, fun and fairly unique.
Then add a bit of the tongue-in-cheek humor from Portal or Stanley Parable and you get pretty close to what it feels to play Journey To The Savage Planet. Or imagine Metroid Prime but much less serious and we place it in the wacky world of No Man's Sky or Spore instead. Or imagine Metroid Prime but Imagine if Super Mario Galaxy was played in first person, but we give him a gun, grappling hook and jump boots.
