First things first. You must not, i repeat you must not play this as you would the other Lost planet game, because it plays nothing like those. This game carries the Lost planet title, but doesn't deliver the lost planet experience most are accustom to. At heart its a AA budget game (pretty sure it cost more to make this than the other lost planet games) action game with a decent story, that may come off Hollywood quality with the action the match.

Its a competent game as it is, but its not lost planet. It it didn't carry the lost planet name, im sure this game would be more recieved by the steam community. This game is a action story driven game, that doesn't have the variety you normally get from the series. Theres some jank and stank to this game, but for the most part its enjoyable, as long as you dont think lost planet while playing it.

When i did play this game, i have to admit that it felt like the devs got some inspiration from Deadspace 3, because i could have swarn i was playing Deadspace 3 in some sections of the game. The gun play in this game just isnt as satisfying as other shooters. the enemy A.I is what you normally would expect from dumb alien wild life creators, till you bump into human enemy A.I and boy are they morons. The focus is on the creatures so i guess i can forgive the devs for that.

All and all this game is a decent experience as long as you don't play it as Lost planet, rather you enjoy it as a action Hollywood kind of experience. Now i think of it. This is definitely a lost planet reboot from a western dev, it feels like it. Lost planet this is not.

Shame on you for supporting this practice, and for supporting the degradation of the video game industry. Now, perhaps I shouldn't be too hard on you--perhaps you just haven't fully thought about the consequences. Let me explain why this is unacceptable:

No reasonable person is outraged that this game exists. No reasonable person is upset that the developer wanted to make a game that is different than Lost Planet 1 & 2. What reasonable people are upset about is that *they had to destroy the Lost Planet IP in order to do so*.

It's like what happened with the 'New Coke'. Coca-Cola introduced a new formulation of the soda. The public was not happy, to put it mildly. Not because they didn't like the new formulation, but because Coca-Cola destroyed the old Coke that people had loved for a century in order to make room for it.

Want to make a new game? Go ahead, but don't destroy the Crysis/F.E.A.R./Dead Space/Lost Planet/Max Payne/Fallout your customers love in order to do so.
