Lifeless Planet delivers a distinguished story and great scenery to enjoy your journey to the end of it. Just don't go in expecting anything more than a story and walking.
"Lifeless Planet" is a single-player mystery action-adventure game with an intriguing old-school sci-fi story and stunning visuals. As an astronaut searching for life on a distant planet, you discover an abandoned Russian town and evidence of past human life, leading to questions about time travel and Cold War hoaxes. Despite its impressive atmosphere, the game is plagued by bugs, lack of optimization, and grinding gameplay, with low replayability but high emotional impact.

Critic Reviews
Lifeless Planet review
The previews looked fantastic, but the final release of Lifeless Planet fails to build that potential into a worthy game.

The planet may not be the only lifeless aspect.
50%Lifeless Planet: Premiere Edition Review
While its crude looks and disparate gameplay elements can make for a spartan experience, there’s still something bizarrely compelling about Lifeless Planet: Premiere Edition. There’s nothing particularly remarkable about its occasional platforming and simple environmental puzzle solving - and its story never truly offers the payoff its mysteries set in place - but you’ll still enjoy the short time you spend with it. An ambitious little curio, even four years after its original release, but one that sets its sights a little too high for its own good.
