A colorful nice 2.5D puzzle platformer. I enjoyed this journey from start to the end, and completed the game in less than 6h. The visuals seem low poly but they are not, color composition is well chosen and the chapters have nice and different ambiance to each area. It completely relies on environmental story telling. Challenges are getting harder the further you process as in most puzzle platformers, so expect some trial and error passages especially towards the end, yet it's all solvable after a few tries and frustration is not too bad.. If it seems impossible, you missed something :) Sometimes you might think a jump should be possible, if it's not, it's not meant to work. Game worked flawless without any crashes on Cachy OS with Proton 10.0-4 and great performance on my device (Asus ROG Ally 2023 + XG Mobile RX 6850m XT)
Вельми непоганий когнітивний тренажер. Прекрасна робота арт та левел дизайнерів. Це хороша гра на вечір після роботи, що також чудово підійде для дітей.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

C’est typiquement le genre de jeu où j’ai senti dès les premières minutes que ça n’allait pas coller. Sorti en 2018, il avait été plutôt bien accueilli pour sa direction artistique pleine de couleurs et de contrastes, souvent comparée à Limbo ou Inside, sauf qu’à mon sens, la comparaison s’arrête là. Moi, j’ai trouvé cet univers brouillon, trop hasardeux, sans vraie cohérence visuelle. On croit explorer un monde varié, mais les décors se répètent énormément, et le côté “robots extraterrestres en guerre” ne m’a pas du tout parlé. Les éclairages sont magnifiques, certains panoramas éclatent vraiment à l’écran, mais globalement les textures manquent de finesse, et l’ensemble a un côté désordonné assez fatigant. J’avoue quand même que le concept sans HUD, sans menus ni dialogues, m’a intrigué. C’est courageux de tout miser sur l’apprentissage par la découverte, sans indiquer quoi que ce soit. Le problème, c’est que ça rend l’expérience souvent confuse : certaines énigmes ou mécaniques manquent de clarté, et on passe une bonne partie du temps à tâtonner sans trop savoir où aller. Disons qu’il faut une vraie envie de persévérer, parce que le jeu ne prend jamais la main du joueur. Les passages d’infiltration, eux, c’est clairement la partie la plus ratée selon moi. On comprend les règles, on sait pourquoi on échoue, mais la mise en scène et la lisibilité sont tellement bancales que ça en devient frustrant. Les systèmes de détection manquent de précision, et ça casse complètement la tension. Niveau ambiance sonore, c’est étrange aussi : la musique monte, s’arrête d’un coup, repart sans logique, un peu comme si tout avait été mixé à la va-vite. Le reste du temps, on a surtout les bruits d’aliens et de robots, ce qui finit un peu monotone à la longue. Sur le gameplay pur, le personnage est plutôt vif, agréable à manier. Et il faut le reconnaître, la mécanique du cycle jour/nuit est une idée vraiment élégante. Même si le pouvoir en lui-même ne change pas, le jeu introduit progressivement de nouveaux éléments qui réagissent différemment selon qu’il fasse jour ou nuit, et c’est là que ça devient intéressant. Dommage que ça reste trop léger pour vraiment relancer le plaisir de jouer sur la durée. Et pourtant, malgré toutes ces bonnes idées, je ne me suis jamais senti impliqué. J’aurais aimé explorer, comprendre, mais rien ne m’y a poussé. J’ai avancé sans m’arrêter, parce que rien ne me donnait envie de creuser plus. Je sais qu’il existe une “vraie fin” à débloquer si on trouve les quatre artefacts cachés tout au long de la partie, censée donner un peu plus de sens au récit. Mais très honnêtement, vu comment je me suis ennuyé, il est hors de question que je recommence. J’ai vu le générique défiler sans rien apprendre sur ce que je venais de vivre, comme si le jeu me disait “merci d’être venu, démerde-toi pour comprendre”. Planet Alpha reste un joli projet indé, visuellement marquant par moments et sincère dans son approche, mais pour moi, ça s’arrête là. C’est avant tout un plateformer à puzzles, et entre sa difficulté parfois sèche et son univers auquel je n’ai jamais accroché, j’en garde surtout un sentiment de distance, voire de lassitude.
Don't let the tags fool you, Planet Alpha is a 2D walking (running?) simulator. I was both entraced and bored at the same time. Pros: * It's gorgeous * The world is full of life, from the atmosphere to the core * Fluid level transition * Character movement is fluid * Very forgiving with precision platforming * 50's robot design Cons: * It's more of an experience than a game * Steam tags are misleading * Enemy movements are not deterministic * Hard to tell whether something is on the characters plane or not * It's not challenging at all, everything is straightforward * Hard to swallow, but yeah, it can be boring Was it a good game? No Will I play it again? Never Is it worth recommending? Yes
Nice sidescrolling jump & run platformer with some puzzles. No fighting! If you enjoyed Inside, give this 'Sci-Fi Alien on another Planet with Robots' themed Dystopia a chance. The start is a bit slow and unnecessary long, but overall really nice gameplay with beautiful colorful graphics. No free saving but checkpoints are fair. Buy when on sale 80+% off and you won't make a mistake.
Долго распинаться не буду: эта игра не заслуживает большого внимания и траты драгоценного времени. Поэтому обзор будет крайне коротким. Геймплейная составляющая игры мягко говоря сомнительная. Просто идём вперёд(иногда назад) без возможности пойти вбок. Иногда придётся паркурить и решать головоломки, решение которых утомительно и абсолютно неинтересно. В игре так же есть бессмысленные секретки, которые крайне тяжело найти и которые вообще ничего не дают. Игра по ходу действий не развивается, прогресса нет, а все действия игрока бессмысленны. Сюжета здесь вообще нет: есть только обёртка, состоящая из больших ожиданий от игры, а в итоге получаешь пустышку: ничего не объясняется, артефакты ничего не дают, а всё, что происходит, выглядит как сон при температуре в 40 градусов. И в этом вся игра: она пустая. Как ни странно, но плюсы здесь есть: даже при корявом геймдизайне графика и в принципе стиль игры очень классный. Они прекрасно сочетаются с психоделикой происходящего, и я смело могу порекомендовать, но лишь тем, кто любит бессмысленный бред в ярком фантике. Ставлю 4 безщупальцевых роботов-убийц из 10. Оценка Проходняк заслуженно.
Вечная загрузка при запуске на моих железках.

Фе Я даже проходить это не хочу Не знаю кого игра пытается из себя строить, мол она фелософская... или ещё что-то там Мне честно говоря фиолетово Такой всратый и халтурный старт Сколько бы не отрицали, но чаще всего встречают по обложке. Первый гемплей, в первых минутах, говорит о многом. По нему можно сделать некоторые выводы. И терпеть в надежде что дальше всё закрутится и полетит, вопрос тогда, а зачем так жидко было делать в начале? Что бы потерпеть? Пасиба нинада.
Es uno de los juegos más bonitos que he jugado nunca. Los escenario son muchas veces preciosos, con un juego de colores excelente. Pero como juego, es de los peores que he jugado nunca. Un plataformas insulso, con partes de sígilo horrorosas, y puzzles sin mucho sentido, pero a la vez muy sendcillos. Ni con un gran descuento me ha resultado bueno, y es una lastima.
