Deliver Us Mars Reviews
Deliver Us Mars’ protagonists quickly cobble together a space shuttle that barely manages to get them to their destination. A similar story feels true of this game. A gripping narrative fuels gameplay that otherwise feels functional but underbaked, making my time on the planet a mixed bag. Deliver Us Mars shines best when it lets you absorb its story, but expect to stumble over several design craters along the way.
Deliver Us Mars is an experience you won't soon forget, with remarkable storytelling and adventure set in a rich, interesting world.
Deliver Us Mars tells an intriguing story, but its gameplay is lackluster and the experience on PS5 is plagued by some technical issues that prevent if from being way more enjoyable than it actually is.

Deliver Us Mars is a small studio's notable attempt at bringing something new to their fledgling franchise.
Bigger than its predecessor in almost every way, Deliver Us Mars is a relatable family drama with a sci-fi wrapper.
If you're expecting a Martian mission like Total Recall, then recalibrate those expectations. Deliver Us Mars is a rather slow affair with little variation in its puzzles and a languidly delivered narrative. In spite of its issues, however, this is a journey just about worth sticking with.
Deliver us Mars offers a gripping adventure across the Red Planet that’ll keep players hooked in thanks to its intriguing storytelling and beautiful setting. It’s clear that a lot more effort was made to make the story more engaging this time around thanks to its mixture of high-stakes exploration and Kathy’s personal issues with her father, whilst discovering the sights of both Mars and what remained of the colony always felt exciting. There are a few issues here and there, with some of the puzzling proving a little dull and some technical hiccups rearing their head, but they don’t deter from what is otherwise an enjoyable experience. Whilst I will admit I preferred the Moon setting from the previous game, Deliver us Mars still manages to trumps its predecessor in just about every other way.
Deliver Us Mars comes crashing back down to Earth because of presentation failings, story missteps, and technical issues, despite a somewhat compelling personal tale involving the majesty of space travel and exploration of the red planet.
A sequel that unravels the series' story with increased characters on the new planet. Except for the poor character modeling, which has a plenty of room for improvement, the game will deliver a memorable experience for those who would like to go on a story driven journey to Mars on their weekend.

Deliver Us Mars is an ambitious follow-up to its predecessor. For the most part, KeokeN Interactive has done a fantastic job. The atmosphere is often tense and shows a dysfunctional family dynamic. There are lots for fans of the original to enjoy and even as a standalone title it appeals to everyone.
Martian experience that transmits the anguish of being alone in the vastness of space.

Deliver Us Mars is a sequel that follows in the wake of the previous title. Excellent narrative and environmental puzzles functional to the story, but it is a game without novelties and with absolutely mediocre cutscenes, animations and polygonal models.

From many points of view Deliver Us Mars feels a step forward compared to the previous game, but it also feels like it was maybe a tad too ambitious for the development team. They managed to tell an interesting story, but often the immersion and the engagement are broken by weird choices. A gripping story doesn't manage to elevate its status to "must play," but it's clearly a step up from the studio's previous game.
Deliver Us Mars is almost like a sci-fi blockbuster movie, but after a while, you'll start to notice several huge imperfections that drag down the whole thing.

A rousing mystery brought to life by a great voice cast and nuanced character writing can't really save Deliver Us Mars from its shortcomings.
Deliver Us Mars is a decent narrative adventure, even with a fairly unmemorable story and some dull characters. The puzzles were simple enough and the beautiful environments were enough to make me want to keep going. Some control quirks and unpleasant character models did bog the experience down slightly, however. This game isn't bad to the point that I'd want to blast it into the sun, but it has enough quirks that it never fully reaches the stars like it should.
Deliver Us Mars is the follow-up sequel to Deliver Us The Moon. I have yet to play Deliver Us The Moon. After playing Deliver Us Mars, though, I have queued it up in my backlog and look forward to seeing how the series got started. Deliver Us Mars continues the story ten years after the Fortuna mission, with Earth close to extinction. You play as Kathy Johanson, Earth’s youngest astronaut, ready to join her sister and two other crew mates after a distress call from Kathy’s father is received at mission control.
Deliver Us Mars is a sequel that doesn’t quite hit all the highs of its predecessor and never really pushes the genre forward in any new ways. Mechnical gripes aside, though, it has a meaningful, memorable story with a good, relevant message, enjoyable dialogue and a beautiful soundtrack that all compliment each other very nicely.
Deliver us Mars is a highly ambitious game but simply does not provide a payoff. I would only recommend playing it if you feel sentimental towards its predecessor, and even then I think currently only frustration will be waiting for you. You might say having read this that I should not have given the game the score I did, however I can see what they wanted to do with it, but also I can see what they failed to.
Deliver Us Mars tries to improve on everything its predecessor did that was interesting, but perhaps it tried to do too much at the same time. The narrative is very good and dense, but the various performance problems are perhaps just not a nuisance for those who really enjoyed Deliver Us The Moon.
