“Google is horrible.”
This was among the first things that Raccoon Logic creative director Alex Hutchinson said to me as I settled in to learn about his studio’s newest game, Revenge of the Savage Planet. He followed this up with a promise to elaborate further as the presentation progressed. I would ultimately be shocked by how much of the nearly two-hour showcase and interview would be about this topic.
Raccoon Logic consists of a bunch of Montreal-based developers that, after working together on games like Assassin’s Creed and the Batman Arkham series, went on to form Typhoon Studios in the late 2010s. In early 2020, that studio put out Journey to the Savage Planet, an action-adventure game that was largely met with praise. Later that year, the studio was bought by Google to help bolster its video-game-streaming service Stadia.
