  Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars gets so much wrong it's almost baffling. Focusing on one of the series' most annoying characters, an environment that is difficult to explore, boring combat full of bullet sponge enemies... these are just some of the problems of this DLC expansion.

  Repetitive structure; No stealth; Lack of systemic emergent gameplay and Guns for Hire makes it a shallow experience. Lost on Mars' shallowness and repetitive structure are issues for sure, but the DLC isn't long enough for them to become too much of a problem. As such, in the end, it's a fairly enjoyable but ultimately forgettable experience.

  Hurk provides some hearty chuckles, and Nick’s got a great set of mechanics at his disposal, but I’ve nearly already forgotten the time I spent with Lost on Mars. It’s worth the $10 price tag for the standalone experience, but if you’re on the fence with this one, you won’t miss anything should you choose to pass.

  5.0

  Lost on Mars is a decent sci-fi distraction from the main game, but it fails to really introduce any new ideas. The irreverent story is fine but isn't particularly memorable, and the silly humour accompanying the action misses more than it hits. The combat can be fun and frustrating in equal measure, while the various things to do don't exactly inspire.

  The banter of the two earthlings and overall sense of levity do make the trek across Mars more enjoyable though it’s not enough to carry the whole expansion. Overall, Lost on Mars does have several moments of amusement, and while it might not achieve a true level of greatness it is entertaining enough to warrant a visit to Mars when someone needs a change of scenery from Montana.

  Lost On Mars is a strange choice for a Far Cry 5 expansion, and this risky change of scenery doesn’t pay off. While it does feature a hilarious fan-favorite character, I just wish the gameplay was as inventive as the dialogue and gun nomenclature. It’s too bad Ubisoft couldn’t find a way to make an alien world feel more interesting than the Montana countryside.
