Mars: War Logs is an ambitious game with a lot of good ideas, and the execution is decent even if the story is a little contrived. For all the time I spent with the game, I felt like it was a good diversion away from the other typical Mars-based games like Red Faction: Guerilla. It reminds me of old video games like Anachronox that really pushed the boundaries when it came to developing Western role-playing games. Clearly, Mars can make for a great video game location so long as it’s more entertaining than the dry, dusty, and boring red planet.

Mars: War Logs is derivative, underdeveloped, and features one of the briefest, most rushed final chapters I've seen, but it's also completely playable and even charming in a B-movie kind of way.

I had been hoping (and kind of expecting from the trailer) for a sort of Arkham City combat structure in the form of a more classical RPG. This is not that game. The melee combat engine, while interesting, doesn’t actually balance well, and it results in combat that feels ridiculous and clunky where Arkham was fluid and dynamic. The scrap armor and weapon upgrade system likewise is interesting, but is often hampered by poor menu design choices.
