The humor in "Revenge of the Savage Planet" is a defining feature, characterized by its absurdity, slapstick elements, and a mix of clever and crass jokes that often draw on corporate satire and pop culture references.

Overall, the game successfully blends its quirky humor with vibrant visuals and enjoyable gameplay, making it a hit for fans of lighthearted, chaotic co-op experiences.
- “The humor hits that perfect sweet spot between cynical corporate commentary and absurdist alien comedy.”
- “The game is colorful, weird, funny, and constantly rewarding you for poking things that probably shouldn’t be poked.”
- “Revenge of the Savage Planet is a colorful, goofy sci-fi adventure that leans heavily on humor and exploration.”
- “My issues can ultimately be summed up to: mostly unfunny humor (aside from the commercials still being weird and damn hilarious), boring and rather short story, annoying bot (despite reducing the speech amount and voice tone), super repetitive and brainless resource collection, supremely easy enemies, lack of engaging and challenging bosses (there are 3 maybe 4 bosses total), just plain boring metroidvania-esque equipment progression as once the free hooking ability is unlocked all progression immediately disappears, and a really short play-time.”
- “It's like they were actively trying to make the most unfunny game possible.”
- “Also, the game's sense of humor is so painfully unfunny - and you are constantly forced to watch videos for the plot and just because.”

Overall, the story is described as fun and goofy, appealing to those who enjoy lighthearted, comedic adventures, though it may not satisfy players seeking a more profound narrative experience.
- “The story is goofy and a little crazy, the gameplay is super fun, controls are fluid and easy, progression is addicting.”
- “The story is fun and engaging, and each upgrade to your suit feels worth getting.”
- “The story continues in the same irreverent tone, filled with sarcastic AI voices, corporate satire, and laugh-out-loud scenarios.”

- “This game has the most nothing at all story I've ever played.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics, smooth controls, and engaging exploration, with many players enjoying the blend of humor and action. While the core gameplay loop remains similar to its predecessor, new mechanics and a vibrant world add depth, though some players feel it lacks challenge and can become repetitive. Overall, the game offers a lighthearted and entertaining experience, appealing to those who appreciate whimsical humor alongside straightforward gameplay.
- “The gameplay loop is a satisfying mix of exploration, progression, and customization.”
- “The mechanics feel tight, the world is fun to explore, and even when things get ridiculous, it never stops being enjoyable.”
- “It's super fun, packed with quirky humor that actually lands, and the gameplay is both smooth and engaging.”
- “It is clear that the developers doubled down on their humor rather than gameplay, which is fine because the game is still an 8/10. The humor, references, and aesthetics of the game are 100% a 10/10, just look at the main base and tell me it's not beautiful. But when it comes to gameplay, it's a 7 or 8 at best. This is a good rating, don't get me wrong, but if the developers decided to improve their ideas from a gameplay perspective while keeping their humor intact, they could unironically become worthy of Game of the Year.”
- “I found the switch to third person to be a downgrade, and it seems like the devs decided to focus gameplay on the combat instead of the exploration, which is a shame as the combat has not been very well designed for either game.”
- “Repeated missions with the same mechanics being used again and again, after a point in time you will be bored doing the main story missions.”

- “The bright visuals and playful art style make the world stand out, even if the performance occasionally dips.”

- “However, graphics are pixelated and blurry to the point of unplayable.”
- “Although verified for the Steam Deck, it's essentially unplayable; the game is so poorly optimized that graphics are blurry and struggles to hit above 35 fps.”
