July 2025
The first sequel to a beloved childhood classic, Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds is largely a direct improvement compared to the original in most aspects. Coming back to the game after over 10 years I didn’t find it quite as memorable compared to its predecessor but still had a pretty decent time playing it. The game improves upon its predecessor in multiple ways, most notably being the gameplay, introducing the world scaling feature, where upon reaching a certain size the scale of the world increases, making you smaller in comparison as new and larger objects get revealed and the old ones get smaller or outright shrink away. This feature let the developers get much more creative with the level design, and also allowed you to eat a wider variety of things in each level. Before, they had to achieve this by splitting levels up into many slightly different but overall similar individual levels. This also makes the levels a little bit longer than average compared to the previous game. The levels themselves also largely stick to the same ratio of “normal” “themed” and “gimmick” levels as the original, with maybe a few less puzzle themed ones. Finally, the levels all have their own names now instead of just being 1, 2, 3, and so on… The time requirements for the levels are also slightly more forgiving compared to the first game, although there are still a significant number of levels which still have unreasonable medal times. Unfortunately, the medals have much more significance now, being a requirement in order to unlock various bonus levels. I don’t think the game originally had any bonus levels when I first played it, or if it did, I certainly can’t remember any of them. Unfortunately, the bonus levels are just as bad here as in the rest of the series, arguably being worse in the fact that over half of them are just the same levels as the story mode but harder. The other bonus levels either are basic levels that probably should have been included in the main story, or more experimental levels that really show how sadistic the developers can get with this game. Most bonus levels are locked behind getting a certain amount of gold medals, which considering the games still quite brutal difficulty regarding gold medals makes it more of a chore than anything else. After seeing that most bonus levels were just harder copies of previous levels, I decided it wasn’t worth my time to bother to unlock the last 25% of them. Another overall improvement comes with the art quality. The animals in particular got a pretty sizable upgrade in comparison to the first game, and generally most objects (that aren’t just reused from the first game) look quite good and fit their respective area. The far future is probably the exception, where a lot of the stuff there is maybe TOO hammed up with the goofiness but overall, there was a reasonable and respectable improvement over the first game. They also knocked it out of the park with the music once again, finding 4 more perfect or near perfect tracks to add alongside the original 3. All the tracks really help get you in the zone when it comes to devouring the world. Despite all the improvements, the game isn’t really as memorable as the first, to the point where I had forgotten an entire section of the game. It’s only a little bit longer, if at all, compared to the first game if you don’t count the “endurance” levels of the first. The overall pacing is also a little strange, going through many ancient periods of history before suddenly jumping straight to the future. The game really could have used either a renaissance or modern time period. Once again, they changed the UI from the original version of this game, which I greatly disagree with. The game itself was much less memorable compared to the first so I only found this out after looking at the wiki online, but the overall change is still akin to replacing a metal part with cheap plastic. Fortunately, as far as I could tell it was just the UI that was changed. Overall, it was still a decent enough experience, especially to relive the nostalgia of the dinosaur levels. It’s a good game on sale, especially if you are a fan of the series and looking to revisit it again, but I wouldn’t say its particularly worth the increased price. My playthrough took 2.7 hours and you can probably expect a similar time yourself.

Game is good, and unlike the first one it does not have fucked up RNG for any gold medal, at least that I noticed throughout my playthrough, the struggle to get a gold medal was always within the difficulty of passing a bonus level (looking at you hovershield) and this feels like a better way to make the game.
