After the success of 2019’s Deliver Us the Moon, Deliver Us Mars developer KeokeN Interactive earned the right to tell a more narrative-heavy tale. Inspired by the team’s telescope-making grandfather, and the desire to expand in reach and ambition, the space-faring, puzzle-driven, sci-fi sequel reaches for the stars. And while it doesn’t always grab them with both hands, when it gets it right; when it balances its most heartfelt moments with its most intricate environmental conundrums, it shines.
