Loneliness can be a harsh thing, but at least in the newly-released point-and-click adventure The Abandoned Planet, you'll have company in the form of your robotic companion. Oh, and a massive, lush but desolate alien world to explore in the process! Out now on iOS and Android, The Abandoned Planet offers throwback puzzles and plenty of exploration.

Playing as a nameless astronaut, you find yourself marooned in an alien world after a wormhole tears you across space. Where is she? Who, or what, inhabited this planet before she arrived? And can she ever get back home? All these and more are questions you'll need to answer yourself.

Said to be inspired by old 90s puzzlers like Myst, Riven and LucasArts famous catalogue, The Abandoned Planet has been a hotly-anticipated release here at Pocket Gamer towers. With hundreds of locations, lush, chunky pixel art, full voice-acting and more, it may be well worth a look for even puzzle sceptics.

While LucasArts and other similar companies like Myst predate my experience, their significant influence on gaming is undeniable. It's unsurprising, therefore, that Snapbreak Games strives to recapture that nostalgic era of puzzle games.

I suspect even puzzle skeptics might find this game appealing, as the trailer showcases ample exploration (not merely disguised backtracking), impressive maneuvers, and considerable cinematic flair. Coupled with a captivating narrative and voice acting, it promises a satisfying point-and-click experience.
