Honestly great mechanics, the consept is great & its crazy to me we're getting a surviving mars VR game. And the survival mechanics are great! but i dont really see myself playing this in the future. 8/101 found this helpful

Rating: 8.2/10 Playtime: 40+ hours Suggested Buy At: Full Price A well-made, relaxing experience (if you turn off food/water req's, which I did). Bouncing through the landscape on your jetpack, you explore and collect resources in order to eventually fulfill your primary mission.1 found this helpful
