I found that it also caused some problems, though.

The landscapes are vast and void of basically any sort of plant life you’ll mostly see various rock formations and craters.

The game easily accomplishes making you feel as though you’re truly on a deserted planet. That’s fairly close to what Lifeless Planet offers. When it’s empty, there’s no inherent excitement to offer outside of the fact that you’re there. When a game is going on, stadium is packed with excitement. Just how exciting can the game be if there’s not meant to be anything surrounding you? Take a sporting venue, for example. Lifeless Planet is put into an interesting position. Strip away any of the story distractions and you still end up with just a semi-interesting story with some fluff that is meant to be exciting, but ultimately falls flat. While the premise was great, the execution wasn’t terribly exciting or all too engaging. The game offers exactly what its title says and really wants to suck you into the mystery of just how it got that way. Not that I anticipated apes to come crawling out from behind some rocks (as cool as that would have been), but it was sensible to ask: did you really leave the planet? The oddity of finding a Soviet town immediately evoked thoughts of Planet of the Apes. You, as the nameless astronaut, walk across an expansive, Mars-like setting until discovering a deserted Soviet town. Of course, it’s not without issue as their ship crashes and the crew is strewn about the surface. Lifeless Planet follows an American astronaut who’s part of a crew sent to search a mysterious planet thought to be filled with lifeforms. Either way, to space we go! Lifeless Planet, recently released on the Xbox One, gives us one such colonization situation, but is it worth the trip? What’s It About? Eventually, we want more than just the other - or we may need something else.

Of the many things mass media has apparently taught us about humanity, one major thing is that Earth is never enough.
