The AI tends to make a big splash and often intersects, setting off chains of unintended consequences. Savage Planet shares a creative director with Far Cry 4, AKA the one where the wildlife truly went wild, and both games operate by the same principle. But that’s not the chore it might have been on another, less surprising world. The photography isn’t optional: many of the equipment upgrades in your tech tree are tied to scientific progress, which means you won’t be getting bouncing bullets or quadruple-jumps without stopping to scan your surroundings. Much of the game is given over to identifying the creatures you come across - hiding in the tentaweeds to snap an airborne octopus as it drifts past, or glueing purple birds to the ground so you can catch them under your lens. That I have the names of all the native organisms to hand isn’t testament to my journalism so much as the fact that Savage Planet equips you with a scanner. Try kicking a Pufferbird into the serrated maw of a carnivorous Meat Vortex it’s like owning a fancy sink with a waste disposal unit.

But instead they’ve put their heads together to invent a colourful new world defined not by the invaders coming into it, but the ecosystem already there.

Huge toothy mammals roam the forests, and strange scrolls impart lessons none can read. On the volcanic surface of the Class M planet Nibiru, barnacles cling to the chalky branches of trees with crimson leaves, their globular antennae reaching out to say hello.
