![]() ![]() For the portions where you’re traversing the surface of the moon, it’s easy to get lost in just looking around and taking it all in. Everything looks fantastic out in space, with the attention to detail for buildings being amazing. Everything takes on a dull muffled noise, the kind you’d expect when you think about how objects in space sound.įinally, I need to talk about how Deliver Us The Moon looks. Likewise when you eventually make your way outside. When you get a section’s power up and running the gentle background hum will kick in, emulating the pulsing power that’s now coursing through the system. The sounds are what you’d probably expect from being in a facility on the moon. I played Deliver Us The Moon with a headset and I highly recommend you do the same to get the full benefit of the sound. The same can be said with the use of sound. They fit each scene perfectly and do a really good job of pulling you right in. The score is honestly amazing and some of the most laid back, and at times emotional, pieces of music you’ll hear. Speaking of immersion (which is what I’m about clearly!), the music and sound for Deliver Us The Moon is fantastic. It can get quite annoying and again ruin the immersion. Again, this doesn’t sound like a long time, but with each new section or objective being completed the game will auto-save. When this kicks in it will freeze the screen for around 10 seconds. Similarly, this happens with the auto-save. This doesn’t sound like a long time but it can really take you out of it when all you have to look at is a “now loading” message. I found myself sitting, staring at a blank loading screen for at least 30 seconds and up to nearly the 50 second mark. The other issue was with the loading screens and auto save with both taking a bit of time to do what they need to. You’re either crawling towards them or overshooting completely. However, the controls make trying to line up the buggy on pressure plates a little frustrating. For example, there are moon buggy sections where you’re required to drive on the surface of the moon which is pretty fun. It then goes to the extremes of you moving what feels too fast. They make the character feel heavy and sluggish a bit like they’re just out of bed and don’t have the energy. The controls however can hinder things like some puzzles. ![]() You’ll also get to control the wee robot for puzzles down the line and it’ll help uncover more of the Blackout story. These go from searching in crew quarters for a code to unlock a door, to the more complex variety like piecing together bits of machinery in the right order to fix a little robot friend. The puzzles themselves aren’t taxing and have a pretty varied range and difficulty. This is dependent on how long it takes to figure out some of the puzzles, though. Good news for those of you that want to collect everything. You also have the choice of selecting a level once you’ve completed the game, so you won’t have to go through the whole game again to find anything you’ve missed.ĭeliver Us The Moon isn’t that long a game and can be completed in a few hours. Luckily, you don’t need every piece of information – contained in what’s referred to as an astrotool dossier profile – to figure out the Blackout.Ĭollecting everything does count towards trophies/achievements, so for the completionists amongst you there’s something extra to work towards. These come in the form of audio logs, holograms and scannable information. The Blackout portion of the story is told through picking up a variety of collectables. While the main point is to get the facilities up and running, the story that unfolds is probably the most enthralling story I’ve played. You’re also to discover what led to the event referred to as the Blackout.ĭeliver us the moon is best described as a story driven sci-fi thriller with a few puzzle aspects thrown in to keep you on your toes. Disaster struck five years ago where that transfer from the moon to earth was disrupted.Įarth is now on the brink of collapse and it’s your job to reestablish the link and deliver the moon’s resources to earth once again. In Deliver Us The Moon you play as an unnamed astronaut tasked with reaching the man-made facilities built on the moon that deliver the moon’s resources to earth. While this isn’t the basis of Deliver Us The Moon it’s in essence what is being asked of you. What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. ![]()
