Our take on Wild Planet
The description puts considerable weight on a branching story, but gives little detail about how often events occur or how much they change a playthrough. The clearest concrete activities are exploration, resource gathering, crafting, combat, and building outposts.
What is Wild Planet?
Wild Planet is an open-world survival game set on an alien planet.
Play alone or in online co-op as you explore biomes, gather resources, hunt giant native insects, and craft tools, weapons, and equipment. Build and expand outposts, from basic shelters to larger fortifications, and explore dungeons with enemies and rewards. The game also uses dynamic events to shape a non-linear story, opening different narrative paths without relying on cut-scenes. Its low-poly visuals and tranquil atmosphere accompany exploration and survival across the planet.
