    Horrible save system where if you're character dies it takes you all the way back to the games save in my case I was 3/4 of a way through a puzzle and two shocks my character dies and the save took me all the way back to the game save and had to start the puzzle from scratch again. In 2020 that kind of save system for me is unacceptable.

    Enjoyable enough game, nice look, solid environmental puzzles BUT i could not finish the game. The final thing to end it I found frustratingly awkward, nigh on impossible. On a Steam thread the devs said there was a patch for this problem, maybe you want to try patching the PS4 version eh lads. Ruined a perfectly good game would have given it a respectable 4, minus 3 for a shoddy jankyEnjoyable enough game, nice look, solid environmental puzzles BUT i could not finish the game.

    I didn't play this for more than a couple of hours, so bear that in mind but also that it's reportedly a fairly short game anyway.

    DUTM delivers a nice atmosphere and a great premise, but minimal and turtle-speed gameplay. This is a game for a specific audience. It was not for me at all but gamers who love an adventure with pace and puzzles could really enjoy this.

    DUTM delivers a nice atmosphere and a great premise, but minimal and turtle-speed gameplay. This is a game for a specific audience. It was not for me at all but gamers who love an adventure with pace and puzzles could really enjoy this. I found the puzzles annoying and combined with the slow movement of zero-gravity, further exasperated by time constraints in the form of limited oxygen.

    I was hoping for some beautiful and haunting lunar landscapes, and there was a glimmer of this at the start as you blast off from Earth, however the next phase of the game was where I gave up. Clambering through a monotone space station didn't cut it for me. The old familiar tropes of scrounging for door codes and powering up a console before getting to hit the button just makes me weary thinking about having to do this dated gameplay mechanics.

    I'm a huge fan of indie developers, but sometimes what they lack in budget and manpower does hinder their games to the point of lowering their quality and appeal, which I think is the case here.

    My issue was approaching this game and expecting something it was never going to be. If I view this as a "Gone To The Rapture" in space, then it makes more sense. Having said that, walking simulators have very limited appeal to me anyway. I like to have the option to speed things up when I'm bored or slow it down when I'm at a place I like. Deliver Us The Moon is a specific puzzler game that needs a specific audience which I am not a member of.    … Expand

    Visually appealing with sound effects and music to match, Deliver Us The Moon is a cosmic trip worth your consideration.

    With slightly better performance, Deliver Us The Moon could have been one of the best games of the year. As it stands, it’ll have to settle for being merely intriguing.

    Deliver us the Moon is a fun, tension filled puzzle game with a great story and a few flaws. You can tell the developers did research to make this Moon puzzle as realistic as possible. This game contains little to no violence which makes it a great brain teasing game for mostly everyone. What could improve this game is a better menu system, more camera control, and perhaps more NPC engagement. I give this game an 85 out of 100 for the enthralling puzzles, compelling side stories, and realistic game play.
