Mars Attracts is a refreshingly weird take on the park sim genre, equal parts management and dark comedy. It’s clever in premise and satisfying in execution: building the perfect, perverse little martian museum is weirdly rewarding. If you enjoy sims that let you tinker, experiment, and occasionally lose your moral compass for the sake of a high-earning exhibit, this one’s worth a trip to the red planet. Keep your tinfoil hat ready and your research grants closer. Outlier has built a mischievous little game that’s a lot more fun than I really could have imagined. Ack! Ack! I give Mars Attracts the Thumb Culture Gold Award!
