The campaign took approximately 6 hours to complete. Conclusion I was excited when I saw the trailer for Lifeless Planet as I felt it held a lot of promise. However, having either the astronaut or the alien woman showing or speaking with more intense emotion would have added to the story. Thankfully, most of the time you see the female character is from a distance so there is less distraction there. I actually found it quite annoying to look at her character because I felt like I was watching a bad commercial for a 3D modeling college. The character model for the astronaut is well done, but the model for the alien woman is less than stellar. These help to develop the story and enhance the feeling of despair and loneliness. You will find these devices in the environment and after picking them up, you are able to read a diary entry of one of the inhabitants of the planet. Most of the story is told via the discovery of communicator devices. The rest of the dialogue is primarily Russian, though you read what is being said in English. The voice acting is decent, but there were times when the astronaut should have displayed more emotion than he did. Music will play sporadically during intense situations and is perfectly timed with how the developer wants you to feel. The tone of solitude and desolation is set very early on is consistent throughout the game. Presentation Lifeless Planet is visually stunning when it comes to the atmosphere of the planet itself. You discover that if you follow that path, you won’t be in as much danger. After the third mission area, you will begin to see a green hue on the ground with footprints inside it. There are no prompts during gameplay, so the player must use a good amount of gaming instinct to figure out where to go next.
There are areas that have hazards such as man-eating plants and magma which must be avoided. The majority of the game is spent jumping from one platform to the other to reach your next mission area. The jetpack works throughout the game while the rocket fuel only works in certain areas and will notify the player when they no longer can use it. You have the ability to use a jetpack which allows a slight boost for jumping as well as collecting rocket fuel to assist in higher and longer jumps. The puzzles to solve mostly involve moving an item from one area to the next to gain access to a previously inaccessible location. The game consists of exploring and discovering what happened to the planet you have crash landed on. Gameplay Lifeless Planet is played in third person.

She appears to warn the astronaut of something that is initially unclear and he decides to follow her. The astronaut confronts a woman who speaks only in Russian and leaves behind her a green trail of footprints. Exploring his surroundings, he discovers that Russia once inhabited it. Storyline The player follows the story of an unnamed astronaut as he discovers that he is all alone on an unfamiliar planet. Though the environments are gorgeous and the premise is enticing, there isn’t enough depth in Lifeless Planet to keep gamers interested. His desire was to create a “Cold War era science fiction stor, posing questions about humankind’s desire for space travel.” What the game promises as a wonderful exploratory space adventure can at times be frustrating due to slight bugs, confusing story and odd camera angles.
