Revenge of the Savage Planet Review Cons

• You cannot remap the controls.
• Not a lot of accessibility options like Colourblind support or text size.
• Unskippable opening video.
• Eko has a very annoying computer AI voice.
• The performance tanks when you go into your house, regardless of whether it has any furniture or items. The hitches also happen in wide open spaces.
• The early game is rough as you don’t have the tools needed for basic tasks, and you never know if you can do something now or if you have to wait.
• I wish it were easier to mark recipes/upgrades for upgrades and unlocks.
• The early game is the true rough part, as you can’t always make out how to get places or do things.
• Audio-only cues when roaming are not ideal.
• I found I missed most of what Eko would say, not intentionally, but it’s so easy to miss what he is saying or advising.
