Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Aug 24 → 2/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

Dinosaurs vs Cavemen vs Aliens Had a lot of fun with this one! + Beautiful pixel art, backgrounds, locations, dinos visually look so good + Music, sounds, drums elevate everything creating that wild prehistoric era + Surprisngly emotional journey (nothing complicated, but enough to be invested) + No handholding, you need to figure out a lot of things and for me it was fun to do + Perfect optimization, great on controller, zero technical problems + Short enough, took me 10 hours to 100% and vacuum everything, so you can beat it in 7 (0 guides and help used, the game gives you all the clues you need if you pay attention) + Variety of dinos, locations and items, everything works well with one another + Reminded me of that Flintstones SEGA game in a good way +- Sometimes you jump not in the direction you want to +- A few not so easy skillful jumps required to progress the story - Underwater levels are boring, sluggish, long and overdue especially in the early game - Too much backtracking after first 3-4 hours (you can literally see the thing you need to do, but in order to reach it you need to run across the ENTIRE map) Never was a huge Metroidvania fan, nor finished any games, but this one was so much fun for me. Maybe it's the era, the whole idea of cavemen fighting dinos and aliens using only whatever could've been possible at that time if it was real, maybe the whole vibe, but it was a unique journey that I enjoyed a lot 8/10

Fini à 100% Perso, j'ai adoré. Je comprend les avis négatifs concernant la carte, le fait d'être un peu perdu, mais je pense que ça fait partie du jeu... C'est un Metroidvania avec du crafting, donc l'idée n'est pas de tracer vers la fin (sinon oui, c'est frustrant), mais de se poser un peu, profiter du monde (qui est juste magnifique ! Un vrai travail d'artiste sur la DA !), développer son village, ses capacités, etc. Et puis... des dinos, des aliens... faut-il vraiment en dire plus ?! Merci les devs ! Hâte de voir un 2 !
Wonderful game.. Primal Planet is like a Metroid game where unlocking the map depends more on RPG progression than discovery of power-ups. Progress is mainly gated by your ability to overcome the enemies/terrain in each area. I finished the game in ~12 hours and while I struggled at first, I was set after about 2 hours and loved the rest of my time with it. Highly recommended.
A good, nostalgic 16-bit throwback platformer. The art and music are wonderful with good level design. Maybe could use a bit of level variety but fun to jump through when you get upgraded. Highly recommend playing two-player.
Seemed fine in the beginning. The game introduced some mechanisms for baiting dinos and swarms of insects by throwing things around, and gave me the expectation that it would be some sort of survival adventure, but really, in the end even the biggest dinos fell just by mashing club and dodging to their rear. The mid-game was really a drag for a while as I started to feel there actually was not much to find besides more "skill points" in the areas. Found one special ability and that's it. All others just came from levelling up, so it took away from the excitement of exploration. The game was stacked with difficulty in the beginning because of how quickly you could lose health, but after gaining 5 hp and upgrading my club to level 4, everything just started to fall apart really fast. I found it pretty boring by the end and the actual ending also did not wash away that feeling.
I generally had a good time but the ending sequence left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll try to describe what happened accurately, maybe someone had a similar experience. SPOILERS INCOMING I finished the main quest, rescued the daughter, escaped the facility through a portal, I thought, okay, that was it. But then I get nothing, no prompt what to do next. So I have to look it up. Turns out there's a path in the facility (not part of the main path, so I never found it) with a portal you need 10 batteries to power up with. I only had 6. Earlier I used a battery on those fast travel portals but then I lost it. Not entirely sure if it was a one-way trip and the other side would still have the battery, but I thought it was a consumable, and decided not to use those anymore, especially since I tried it out and was dumped in somewhere I didn't really want to be at. I'm still not sure if I simply messed up, if it was a bug, I don't know. But I do know that I didn't feel like going through the endgame dungeon and then having to backtrack all over the world again in a game with no fast travel to collect these things without even knowing if it would work. So yeah I feel like this should've been some kind of a hidden ending instead of the main ending considering the game does not telegraph this at all. It would've been nice to get an ending after finishing the main objective, after all. I guess my biggest issue is the game doesn't prompt you in any way that this is what you're supposed to do after the rescue bit, since it feels like an ending.
虽然是类银河城大包里买的，但是实际上本作只是个有箱庭设计的横版arpg。 像二段跳、空冲这种提高角色机动性的主动能力，以及加血量、加伤害、加血药，恢复量和上限等纯被动数值，全部都只需要你通过杀怪升级、点亮精灵树等方式来获得技能点，然后直接在篝火处学习。 因此，游戏没有真正的能力锁，主角天生就会大跳和蹬墙跳，还可以把矛插在垂直的墙壁上当作平台，二段跳和空冲只是提高容错率，再说蹬墙也不能重置二段跳和空冲。 水下冲刺确实是收集得到的，但也不是必要能力，在水中行动主要靠的是提高水下呼吸时间这一基础数值，此外玩家在水里骑海豚时也不会消耗氧气。 还有在npc处学习的空中下砸，纯战斗用能力，没有对应能力锁。 玩家解救npc后，他们会在家园待着，可以花费材料为他们建造房屋，然后就能找他们学习技能（大部分都是解锁道具制作）、种植原材料、雇佣当打手。 真正拦住玩家的只有谜题锁和道具锁，前者一般是荆棘或者火盆，需要玩家使用燃烧的长矛烧毁/点燃，但很多时候都会被水流挡着（火会熄灭），此时就需要找别的路线或方法；后者就是纯主线的路障了，没有引导，就是得玩家自己去探索地图找任务钥匙。 本区域地图全部显示也是在特定位置点燃火盆后解开，同时也会显示出隐藏房。 必打的boss很少，前面大多数都是剧情杀，也就结局前的这位是真正意义上的boss，剩下大型恐龙就属于纯挑战，打赢也只有大量经验和解锁对应成就。
I had a blast playing this game. It was difficult to figure out how to progress, but that kinda goes with the genre.
This is a neat little metroidvania. Primal Planet can be a little obtuse and could have probably used a few more markers on what things actually do, but the game is short enough that its flaws don't last long enough to be a big enough bother.
Joguinho divertido demais! Pixel Art linda com representações muito bonitas de dinossauros e outras criaturas pré-históricas, além do cenário e personagens. Gameplay cativante, é uma delicia ficar explorando o mapa e upando os personagens. Vale muito a pena comprar.
