Again, a poorly-conceived idea pops up here because the time limit on his air is absurdly short (3 minutes) and to compensate for this, little canisters containing equally absurd amounts of oxygen (I think one gave me 10 seconds) are strewn absolutely everywhere. Of course, as it’s set in space, Deliver Us the Moon has sequences where the astronaut goes out into the vacuum. Adjusting to the zero-G motion system was easy, although an inability to convey the position of the astronaut’s body made some navigation challenges needlessly tough. Throughout this journey, the perspective shifts back and forth between first and third person, though I never felt disoriented and controls translated seamlessly. Once the astronaut launches, he has to travel through a failing space station and across the surface of the moon. Right away, the absence of other people goes from being a natural consequence of the scenario to being a limitation of the creators. Unfortunately, Deliver Us the Moon immediately screws this up in its tutorial level when the astronaut does all the work of prepping his launch alone, even though other people are radioing to him from within the same cosmodrome. More importantly, he is to bring it back online, so that the power it generates can save Earth.Īlthough it’s obviously foolish to send just one person for such a critical mission, this premise has the advantage of giving the astronaut a reason to be in a fantastic place all alone, which is the demand of the genre. Its faceless main character is an astronaut who has been sent to an immense, abandoned complex on the moon to find out why it failed five years previously. Otherwise, one might end up with something like Deliver Us the Moon, which feels like it’s a few edits away from its best self.ĭeliver Us the Moon is a first- and third- person exploration and adventure title that clearly owes a great deal of its inspiration to the Fullbright Company, especially Tacoma. Creating a videogame doesn’t come with such high stakes, but most concepts can benefit from a few passes of reconsideration. Every detail has to be double- and triple-checked, lest one enter parameters in the wrong units and accidentally pancake a $300 million probe on the upper atmosphere of Mars. Little things matter when it comes to space travel. WTF So we’re really sending just one dude on this mission to save the whole frickin’ world? LOW Having to do the last targeting challenge three times.
HIGH Succeeding at the last targeting challenge.
