If you like sci-fi and Hurk, Lost on Mars has a treat for you. There's a surprising amount to do, tons of aliens to kill, and even some Clutch Nixon challenges. A highly recommended DLC.

Lost on Mars is a fun, great looking DLC. It makes use of new gameplay mechanics and adapts some of older ones to fit Mars atmosphere. Unfortunately it's repetitive and empty.

A fun adventure with two of the best characters from Far Cry 5, Lost on Mars is a quick jaunt to the Red Planet with more hits than misses.

Hours of Darkness was not a good DLC at least for me, and honestly I wasn’t expect to Lost on Mars can surprise me and act different from the first DLC, but fortunately it surprises me in a very good way and remind me of a very good valuable DLC like Blood Dragon. Lost on Mars is like a separate game from Far Cry 5 and takes you to a fun journey on Mars. Various gameplay elements, very good range of new weapons and upgrades (for a DLC) and various missions and activities to do, made Lost on Mars a valuable DLC that absolutely worth its 10 $ price and entertained me for more than 9 hours, like a brand new game.

Lost on Mars offers some space action in the style of Starship Troopers mixed with the humour you'd expect from Nick Rye and Hurk known from the main game. Big surprises are left out and the repetitive missions and jump actions hold this otherwise fun DLC a bit back. It's still better than Hours of Darkness but there is also a lot of room for more.

Lost on Mars plays like a completely new, fleshed-out game and has a surprising amount of content for a DLC. A funny yet predictable odyssey to the red planet.

Lost on Mars is a substantial improvement over Hours of Darkness in almost every conceivable way. It’s not Blood Dragon brilliant and it does have its flaws and weakness, but I certainly enjoyed my time in space more than I didn’t. This helps scratch that Blood Dragon sequel itch, at least for a little while longer.

An interesting twist on the Far Cry formula that fails to offer enought variety on its action to keep players interested during its 5 hours campaign.

Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars is a good waste of time! If you can ignore the very uninteresting and sometimes annoying narrative and character developments, you can find a unique gameplay with varied guns, powers, enemies and also fun and weird missions. Unlike the previous DLC, Lost on Mars actually delivers a lot of new content and systems that we have never seen in a Far Cry game before.

So much of Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars is a unique take on the Far Cry 5 layout. While it may be a shallow five-hour romp, fans of the original will get their kicks while turning some aliens into exploding cows. And isn't that all anyone is really asking for?

Despite a story focused on humor and with a higher difficulty in combat, what stands out is still the lack of content and the exhaustive reiteration of it. This ends up harming an expansion that could be much better enjoyed with a science fiction approach.

While this DLC has the kind of silliness I'd like to see the Far Cry series confidently embrace and it mostly sounds good on paper, the end result is bare-bones. Lost on Mars feels like a middle-of-the-road effort when it could've been so much more substantial and imaginative. The premise deserves better.

If you're on the fence with this one, you won't miss anything should you choose to pass.

Far Cry is a series that's versatile in the Ubisoft catalog. Only here we can travel to Vietnam or to Mars, as is the case of this second DLC of the fifth entry. But although I appreciate the sci-fi setting, I got bored after the first couple of hours.

What you see is what you get with Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars: Plenty of Hurk, a ton of bugs to kill and a straightforward romp on the red planet that'll kill a few hours of your time.

Overall, Lost on Mars does have several moments of amusement, and while it might not achieve a true level of greatness it is entertaining enough to warrant a visit to Mars when someone needs a change of scenery from Montana.

Lost on Mars' shallowness and repetitive structure are issues for sure, but the DLC isn't long enough for them to become too much of a problem. As such, in the end, it's a fairly enjoyable but ultimately forgettable experience.

The marvelous view of Mars did impress me at the beginning, but the dull gameplay and repeated battles ruined it.

Big changes in gameplay by using space weapons and items against aliens, in the other hand comes the sluggish controls in battles and subpar missions. Best thing in the DLC is listening to Hurk's commentary with Nick and ANNE. I recommend playing the DLC in Co-op mode.

From a pure mechanical point of view Lost on Mars is decent. It generally retains the fun of Far Cry 5 action in a different setting and story. The problem comes in the execution, with the previous originality and variety of missions and situations replaced by bland tower climbing and frustratingly repetitive boss fights. There is humour in Hurk and his tale and the AI 'ANNE' displays all the traits of a typically psychopathic computer system well. However, this humour only goes so far and can't assist in battling through the hours and hours of looped gameplay with weapon upgrades being the only meaningful reward for doing so. It is fair to say it hasn't been a vintage collection of expansion campaigns for Season Pass holders so far, with many arguably wanting more quality so far for Far Cry 5. Hopefully, the final one will make up for these disappointments.
