Mars Horizon is a low barrier to entry space management sim that is easy going enough to be something played while sitting on the couch with a show in the background. Its systems are light enough to not be overwhelming, and even if they become too much for you, a well-defined tutorial does a good job of holding your hand as you get a grasp of things.
Joel A. DeWitte · Jan 14, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewIf you love space, get this game. If you want to learn about the processes behind space exploration, get this game. I genuinely hope the developers make some of these improvements, but even if they don’t, Mars Horizon has been a joyride I won’t soon forget.
Heather Johnson Yu · Nov 26, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThose of you who already have an interest in Space faring expeditions will likely get the most out of Mars Horizon, as otherwise the fairly bland gameplay and presentation may well put you off digging into the experience. There’s a good amount of educational merit to it though, so hopefully it’ll inspire more people to learn!
Joe Pepek · Nov 22, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewYou’ll grind your teeth when you’re the last man on the moon, but the more you persist, the more Mars Horizon pulls you in. If you’ve got even the slightest interest in the Space Race, this is one of the most engaging ways to experience it.
Chris Mc · Nov 18, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewMars Horizon is a simple yet addictive strategy sim that takes you to the very heart of space exploration itself. Take charge of your own space agency but be careful as one mistake can end in disaster!
Matt Jarvis · Jan 06, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewAll in all, Mars Horizon on Xbox is an excellent and approachable but deep game that will scratch the space exploration itch for a lot of players. Whilst it’s not an adrenaline rush, it’s got a lot of heart and its excellent UI and design will mean you spend many hours crafting and preparing your missions and then tensely watching them launch.
Richard Hart · Nov 26, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewMars Horizon probably isn’t capable of capturing your heart in the same way, but it does allow you to play a game about going into space that won’t require you to have a science degree. It respects your time, has some smart design choices, and it’s fun. It’s also pretty and charming to boot, and I’m glad it’s here to inspire new generations of space explorers.
Joe Robinson · Nov 20, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewA space agency simulator which overcomes its PC roots and primitive presentation to become a highly addictive and original strategy game. Packed with space facts and sprinklings of humour, Mars Horizon is a joy to dip into for both young and old and your thumbs can rest while your brain takes over.
Alan Strawbridge · Dec 05, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewNiekomu tu môžu chýbať potýčky s mimozemšťanmi, no toto nie je nejaká vyfantazírovaná fikcia, ale veľmi realistický, pravdivý zážitok. Pri zbežnom podhľade sa môže zdať trochu plochý a limitovaný, ale v skutočnosti je úžasný - ako samotný vesmír, ktorý vlastne ešte stále iba začíname po kúskoch spoznávať.
