Deliver Us Mars Reviews
Even after decades of research, handful of deep space probes and a bunch of scientific rovers, humanity is still fascinated with Mars. Immersive experience of Deliver Us Mars satisfies this very fascination by serving its junky gameplay and ridiculous animations on a way too ambitious plate, while a wonderfully grand, Interstellar like music coats the imperfectly glitchy background. This results in a seemingly spectacular story with enormous set pieces, which lacks the necessary polish, mostly due to obvious budget limitations.

Deliver Us Mars is decent enough but lacks the focus and narrative strengths that made the last game such a joy.
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 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 appears to be a step backward, especially graphically/technologically and on the variety front, compared to its predecessor, but it remains an experience telling an exciting story, with a deep theme and a chilling soundtrack. If you love more "sci" than "fi" space settings and you're willing to forgive a few flaws in order to experience a story that will satisfy you all the way to the ending, this is definitely a title to consider.

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.

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 an easy game to recommend to those looking for a captivating and well-told story, but at the same time it's weighed down by significant gameplay and technical issues.
After a rocky start, Deliver Us the Moon ended up being an adventure game success, and Deliver Us Mars will not disappoint fans of the first game. It tells an interesting and sometimes surprising story and delivers an awe-inspiring Red Planet. Some unrefined mechanics and gamified puzzles carry over from its predecessor, but overall Deliver Us Mars is a genuine step forward for the franchise.
Deliver Us Mars has an entrancing sci-fi story that will keep you thinking long after the credits roll. There are a few little issues, such as a boring climbing mechanic and frame rate drops on Earth, but with some fantastic voice acting it's easy to get really invested in the characters and the fate of humanity. The simple puzzles do a good job at giving your brain a little workout while never being so taxing that they slow down the pace of the action. Overall, this is a great follow-up that delivers a compelling sci-fi narrative.
Deliver Us Mars, the latest Deetman brothers project, channels the same heart that started beating in Deliver Us The Moon, even if it takes a great deal more effort to get to it. You need to slog through some cumbersome and at times downright frustrating gameplay, but I promise you the premise and ending make it worth your while.
Deliver Us Mars is heavily focused on story and exploration, both of which it does fairly well. It's no thrill-a-minute blockbuster, but fans of the first game will find a lot to like here.
Deliver Us Mars is another engaging science fiction tale with something to say about our modern world. This message is wrapped in a more personal story this time around, that's bolder in how it tells it, and mixes it well with broader action and puzzling, so it's just a shame that the game can't match that ambition with some technical weaknesses even on the latest consoles.
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.

Deliver Us Mars proves, that its predecessor has not been just a flash in the pan. Developer KeokeN Interactive delivers a nice sequel with a twistful story, a pleasant heroine and a comparatively diversdye gameplay. At least, if you're a fan of Deliver Us the Moon, you need to get the sequel as well.

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.
I am pleased to say that Deliver Us Mars was very enjoyable, taking what feels like just the right amount of time to complete the story. I am hopeful that if there is a third entry in the series, it will overcome the technical limitations seen in the first two.
Deliver Us Mars is a strongly story-driven adventure, which places great emphasis on the touching narrative sector, able to make the player reflect continuously, and on the exploration of a planet full of mysteries: the climbs of the rocky walls of Mars work but it is the variety in terms of environmental puzzles that is missing.

With an excellent and mature story going over current themes, Deliver Us Mars is the game to get for those looking to be immersed in a believable and personal space opera. While the gameplay is a definite improvement over that of its predecessor, the simplicity of some puzzles (which often feel like a distraction from the story), the excessive linearity, and the many technical issues prevent the game by KeokeN Interactive from being a proper masterpiece.
