Deliver Us The Moon

NICE

Amazing game! Story is amazing and the pacing at which you find things out is spectacular. The visuals are beautiful as well. like omg.. highly recommend !!

I really enjoyed this game. I went into it with no real expectations, thinking it would be a simple, puzzle-based sci-fi game. However, it's much more than that. The puzzles are quite entertaining, being neither difficult nor tedious. They're pretty intuitive but I don't think the game needed complex, time-consuming puzzles because piecing together the story of what caused The Blackout and what happened after is far more engaging. Your job in this game is to fix the MPT, which generates energy for Earth to keep civilization going, but it's not that simple. I mean, it is, but learning what caused the MPT to stop working is quite the mystery, and there are some solid twists along the way. Finding out you're playing as [spoiler] Rolf [/spoiler] later in the game was truly a wonderful surprise, and explains why [spoiler] he [/spoiler] is the one doing this mission in the first place. And the ending honestly was so good, and it brought the protagonist's story full circle. I also liked how the story is unraveled slightly out of order, so you have to pay attention to how the information is listed in your tablet. This prevents things from being too linear, too predictable, and motivates you to keep digging for clues to uncover the full backstory. Visually, the game is quite beautiful, especially the scenes that take place outside the base on the moon's surface. The music is also amazing, absolutely gorgeous and emotional. There were a couple of moments of slight stuttering, but it didn't negatively impact my gameplay and, for the most part, were barely noticeable. The game is about 6 hours long, give or take, which to me, is perfect. It's not too long, not too short, doesn't drag but doesn't race by. At the end, I felt completely satisfied, like I'd accomplished everything necessary to make the experience worthwhile. If there was anything I didn't like, I did find the [spoiler] scheme conjured by McArthur [/spoiler] to actually be the least interest aspect. I get why it happened, but [spoiler] his motivations [/spoiler] were rather cliche and felt stale compared to everything else. Overall, "Deliver Us the Moon" is a definitely a worthwhile experience for those who like story-driven games with fun puzzles, beautiful graphics, and stunning music.
