   The combat is fairly good, at first it may seem weird but it works well.
   The quest are somewhat interesting, some are fetch this, bring it back, but other feel well placed for the setting.
   For the lip sync you end up not realising that it's out of time and done fairly bad. Voice acting isn't the best but the main characters voice acting is done very well!
   The setting is great, the graphics are not top notch, but they don't have to be. I fell it adds character the the Mars setting and the fits the game very well.
   Has good character progression. Things you do can reflect on comments made by other characters. Skill tree isn't as vast as say Skyrim, but you wouldn't need anything more than what it gives.
   
   Overall, It's a really fun game. The characters are done well, dialogue is all there(character background etc. combat works great, story is interesting. Well worth the buy!
   
   10/10! May seem high to some but this little title that came from no where is great … Expand

   I usually never write reviews on game. Because I think that game does not deserve some of the bad review it received.
   
   First of all theI usually never write reviews on game. Because I think that game does not deserve some of the bad review it received.
   
   First of all the graphics are pretty good, it match most console graphics game. Its not a AAA game graphics like Call of Duty, but it doesn't need it neither. Its a RPG not a FPS.
   
   The gameplay is great too. The combats are fun and the control are easy to use (play well with a xbox controller and with the mouse/keyboard). The fight are a little bit like dragon age origin where u can click a button who slow down the game and let use pick a special skill.
   
   Finally the story is awesome, with lots of details, once again a little bit like dragon age (with a lore book ).
   
   If you are a RPG player and you don't mind the half real time combat of dragon age origin you will like that game.
   
   I hope they will make Mars log 2. This game is a real hidden gem.… Expand

This game came out with nearly zero hype or advertisement but if you're up for a good action RPG, you won't regret picking this one up. The writing won't win any awards, sometimes the areas feel a bit claustrophobic and the voice acting is pretty bad but the rest of the game is up to snuff. The progression is structured like Jade Empire for example: you are in interlinked hub areas and there are a healthy amount of sidequests you can pick up before you progress the main quest to a new hub area. The game takes a lot of inspiration from the Witcher 2; you'll have crafting, almost exactly the same combat and character progression systems, and a decision that will make your endgame play out from a different perspective.
   
   A good game. At its budget price, it's a highly recommended purchase for anyone who likes action RPGs.… Expand

I read a lot of positive reviews shorty after it appereared on steam and thought let's try. It was compared to the witcher and i think this is quite fitting and if you like this kind of game you will probably enjoy it (at least a little bit The story is ok but i was disappointed because of many parts not resolved in any way. The levels were nearly all the same but well you probably can't expect much diversity on a barren planet full of red sand. Nevertheless i kept hoping for something new and interesting until the end. Combat and skills are done quite well in my opinion but you see more than enough of this part because of respawning enemies. There seems a kind moral system but it didn't work for me trying to be the good guy. I can only recommend to go for the dark side which may offer some advantages if it works at all. I could continue with crafting or companions but let's stop. Overall it's no bad game and i don't regret buying it but sadly no single aspect reaches it's full potential.… Expand

The controls menu simply shows what keys do what it doesn't actually allow changes. The PC version even has a picture of a console controller in the options that's how bad the PC port is.
   
   I know this isn't a AAA game by a major studio, but even so, there is a reasonable user interface baseline which quite frankly, this game doesn't even meet 1990's "shareware" games standard (even "Doom" in 1993 had standard cursor key controls). WASD vs cursor keys flexibility is for left vs right handers and variable mouse position to the left vs right of the keyboard (and even then many right handers prefer cursor keys some right handers also use the mouse with their left hand). This is not exactly a "new thing" and has been known to PC game designers for what 20 years now? Not being a major studio is no excuse This is by the far the worst game interface on any game in years.… Expand
