  Rounding things off I think it is fair to say that Deliver Us Mars is a frustrating experience and somewhat of a let-down compared to Deliver Us The Moon. While the environmental art style, musical score, platforming and accessibility settings are of a high standard, far too many aspects of the game are poor.

  As a planetary spectacle, an exercise in scale and awe, axe-climbing around the red planet like a Martian Tomb Raider or doing your best Matt Damon impression in a lonely rover, KeokeN's sequel largely delivers. But most everything else, particularly the connective tissues of narrative and drama, struggles to hit its mark.

  Overall, Deliver Us Mars is surprisingly compelling, with a story of a daughter searching for her wayward father despite his crimes — while others on the crew are searching for him because of said crimes. Most of the gameplay does a great job of keeping things varied, but I wish that there were just a few more puzzle ideas to break up the times when it feels like the game ran out of ideas and popped in another MFT puzzle.

  6.0

  A bit disappointing, considering how solid its predecessor was. However, if all you are looking for is an engaging sci-fi story with mysteries to uncover, and you don’t mind dealing with an above-recommended amount of jank, then Deliver Us Mars can still be enjoyed.

  Overall, if you found yourself a fan of Deliver Us The Moon and wanted more, Deliver Us Mars will no doubt have you feeling thrilled. If you’ve yet to play that however then this is still a perfectly enjoyable title in its own right too, and whilst the opening hour can feel like it’s dragging a little, the story soon picks up and feels compelling enough to get you through to find out just what’s been going on.

  In Deliver Us Mars, you either learn to climb or you start over until you do learn. So, a lot of practice is needed to get it right. Manual in-game saves would be a nice feature to have instead of the automatic end-of-chapter game saves only. If your climb fails halfway up, you die and need to try again.
