MEMORIES OF MARS

There’s nothing novel with this release; much like the droning ten-note melody that punctuates the menus and all too much of the gameplay, it’s repetitious and bland. Memories of Mars asks for too much player commitment and offers too little in return. Whatever this game does well is done better elsewhere.

Memories of Mars was my first ever survival game and, based on this, probably my last. The exemplary building mechanic doesn't balance out the numbingly repetitive gathering grind, nor the mundane combat. Whilst there is some fun to be had here, you'll have to invest far too much time to find it. Much better to let this particular memory fade away.
