Sadly this excitement does feel halted thanks to the clunkiness of it all, with players required to set one axe into a surface, and then focus on the next one whilst giving enough time between each movement to ensure you don’t simply plummet to whatever lays below unnecessarily, and this can be rather frustrating when you just want to move through an area with some level of gusto behind you, but whilst it can be frustrating there are only a few areas in which it felt downright irritating. Although early on this comes across as a little cheesy, it does even out eventually and ensures there is a much personal and deeper character to Kathy than simply a budding astronaut going to space.Īway from the story and gameplay has been changed up somewhat in the sequel with a larger focus on traversal this time around, or more how you’ll be traversing rather, as Kathy utilizes a pair of pickaxes to climb all manner of surfaces, which brings a lot more excitement and verticality to exploring levels and environments which makes things a lot more exciting this time around. One thing that’s pressed on heavily throughout the game’s 9-hour story is the sentimental side of things, with the relationship between Kathy and her father playing a pivotal role in the narrative of the game. Whilst the game is a direct follow on to the last title, there is no need to have played Deliver Us The Moon to be able to enjoy this title thanks to an informative exhibit at the start of the game showcasing the events of the last title to ensure players are up to speed with just what’s been going on. Of course, Kathy isn’t going to miss out on this opportunity and sneaks onboard the Zephyr with a last-ditch team of astronauts who head out on the recovery mission to not only save humanity but also to uncover more information about Outward, the group that originally stole the valued resource. The premise sees players heading to Mars in a last-ditch effort to save those on Earth once more, with players needing to get their hands on the valuable stolen resource of Helium 3 that was taken off to Mars last time around, as it proves to be the last known source of energy that can get humanity out of this sticky situation that is its potential extinction. This sequel puts players into the shoes of young and promising astronomer and space cadet Kathy Johansen, the youngest Astronaut on earth and the same Kathy Johansen that we first heard of in recordings in the last game, only now you’re stepping into her shoes 10 years on from the events of Deliver Us The Moon. With the sequel looking to provide the same level of quality here’s how it stacks up. Take your eyes away from the obvious excitement that Dead Space or Hogwarts Legacy may bring and look further afield into the indie market and what you will spot is the recent arrival of KeokeN Interactive release Deliver Us Mars, the sequel to 2019 hit Deliver Us The Moon, a sort of ‘AA’ adventure if you will. We’re a few months in now and 2023 has quite simply continued on with the unusual delights that 2022 gave us, with the first few months of the year already seeing big AAA releases having already graced our console storefronts and the shelves of our favourite GAME stores.
