    Really interesting story and fantastic atmosphere. The timed puzzles can be insanely frustrating, not because of the puzzles themselves, but the frustrating checkpoint save system combined with tedious load times.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you play this one slow and really pay attention to everything you read, you will really enjoy the story this one is trying to tell. However, I think that the story is the only thing DUTM has going for it. The gameplay was a little slow. They introduce an awesome first view gameplay about an hour in, only to never do it again. The third person walking looked very awkward. Play this one if you want a story, not for the gameplay.… Expand

    I love space games. I thought for an Indie game, it's pretty amazing. Graphics are good, gameplay is mostly smooth. There are some occasions where control over the character is difficult and actions are clunky. You can tell it was made for PC and use of mouse and keyboard/gamepad would make it 20x easier.

There are some occasions where control over the character is difficult and actions are clunky. You can tell it was made for PC and use of mouse and keyboard/gamepad would make it 20x easier. The loading screens take forever, and sometimes I have to aim to the right of something for it to register. Saving could be a bit of an issue. You can't hop in and out as you please. There are save points and unless you make it to one of them before logging off, when you log back on you'll start at the last checkpoint you did reach.

    It's a short game that's fairly direct in objectives you need to accomplish. I succeeded at completing most tasks with little effort; except one glaring exception. I made it through launch, battery retrieval, enemies, tracks, and reactors first time. However, the last "mini-game" with the MPT has so much drag and reduction I haven't done it. I've tried repeatedly at this point. If I was able to use mouse and keyboard on PS4, I'd have done it first try like all the others. But with a single controller, I've done it 10x and it's just too much drag. I get games being made for PC and I love playing games there. However, greater consideration needs to be taken when adding it to a controller console. It doesn't function right, imo. I hope they fix an issue with the drag, otherwise I won't be finishing this game.    … Expand

    So, I loved the atmosphere, the sound design, the story was pretty good and I liked the ending. It's one of those little indie games that won't change the industry, but that always feels good to play. Not especially long, and definitely not hard, but fun to play and interesting. Just one moment that got me yelling, when you have to go slowly between some electricity things, several timesSo, I loved the atmosphere, the sound design, the story was pretty good and I liked the ending.

Just one moment that got me yelling, when you have to go slowly between some electricity things, several times in a row, with no gravity. Maybe I'm just bad but it was frustrating haha. Only that moment tho, the rest of the game was good. Loved also the parts when you go outside, with the heavy silence of the moon.… Expand

    a decent story, the graphics and movement for the most part are crisp. however you can tell it's ported to the ps4, the jump interface often doesnt respond properly which will cause some frustration at times. where it fails, where ALL wired games seem to fail is the lack of manual saves. depending on where you are in a chapter you can easily lose an hour of play time do to infrequent autosaves.

    I played and finished the game. It was OK and let me tell you why it's not bothered me. Not every game should be a 10 out of 10 game, we need this kind of games to just enjoy the time. I guess the studio is small and I want to congratulate them. I hope you expand and create more content in the future.

    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.
