PLANET EXPLORERS on PC – STORY MODE REVIEW 2021
10By pure chance I hit on the free-to-play game oldie “Planet Exlorers”. Having myself informed about the game prior to download I did not expect much – PE had at best mediocre reviews at release and still has a bad reputation with many gamers. But I was pleasantly surprised. The story mode may not be perfect in every aspect – but the game was and is definitely underrated by far and can keep up with a bunch of 2021 releases in a similar genre that were better accepted.
PE runs stable on PC, has a lot of content and is fun to play.
What I did not mention in the video: At its time PN was praised for the Soundtrack – for details see “Music Credits” below
