REVIEW: Lovely Planet | ICXM

ICXM:

Lovely Planet is an interesting game to say the least. It's rather basic in its design but highly addictive. The title features a colorful pastel art style and tight shooting mechanics that explore the oversaturated shooter genre in its purest form. This approach to game design has its benefits and problems. While the title makes for an addicting experience, it's rather shallow. At the end of the day, whether you like this game or not boils down to what you expect out of such titles. I feel nowadays many developers think console gamers want mobile experiences. In my opinion we really don't. At least I don't. This might be Lovely Planet's biggest downfall despite the fact that it's so fun to play.
