Has anyone tried Lifeless Planet?

It looks like something I'd enjoy but if it's like those old Myst games, I would hate it. Just came out today.

I watched some German guys play the early access version, which was just like 6 levels, and it seemed pretty good. Good enough that I bought it as well, but I was holding off on playing it myself until it was finished. I look forward to playing it this weekend.

It's a platformer with a story. Interesting but I can't see paying the asking price. I did a few videos for it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=TK50dBFGBsE

Should call this game funless planet. Super boring and super easy then about 4 hours in impossible death after death after death... in the same spot.

Well, there isn't much too it. Reminds me of Dear Esther with double jumping. I kinda like the story, and I don't mind the gameplay. Well, some of the mechanics are kinda contrived, like running out of oxygen at specific points, as well as gaining and losing boost as specific points. I just thought there would be more exploration. Its pretty much follow the glowing trail. I paid $13 and it seems a bit much, but $20 is way too much.

Oh, and the controls feel crappy until you turn off auto center. One of the 5 or so total options in the options menu. No keybinding or anything. It seems like it was made for consoles, which is funny cause I don't think its available on consoles.

I played all the way through in one shot. It had some frustrating parts. Pretty much an empty boring world but there were data packs to give a story. Can't say I enjoyed myself but it kept me playing, first game I've played in months and months. I install them but don't play them, this one, I played.

Jet packs and jumping reminded me of star wars.. that old N64 game. In fact the female character looked like she was modeled in the 90's, not a visual feast is what I'm saying. thousands of bland rounded hills and valley.

Then at the end the boost lasted FOREVER LOL. That was a good thing because who the hell wants a jet pack that lasts for one second?

Yeah, there was no exploration, pretty much a corridor granted with no walls. I got bored of the scenery fast and it was ridiculous level changes. I would be in a mountain pass with dams and winds, go through a gate and i'm in a desert in the day time. That happened at least 3 times. I thought the levels were playing out of order.
