Primal Planet is a beautifully crafted pixel-art survival metroidvania where you play as a cave-dweller protecting your family in a prehistoric world teeming with dinosaurs and alien threats. It combines emotional storytelling, exploration, crafting, and stealth combat across varied biomes.
With a co-op mode that lets a second player control your dinosaur companion, and a demo praised for its polish and atmosphere, Primal Planet stands out as a promising indie title. Minor pacing issues and early difficulty spikes are present, but the heart and depth make it worth your attention.
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Best For: Fans of Hollow Knight, survival crafting, and dinosaur adventures.
