Hope County is split into three regions, each one controlled by one of Joseph Seed’s underlings - John, Faith, and Jacob.

This mess gets a 4/10 from me, after finishing it there is no way I would ever want to play it again, and I thought Hours of Darkness was good for playing repeatedly. It has a lot technically wrong with it that can disrupt the experience and it felt unsatisfying in the end. I said 4/10 because while it had the makings of something enjoyable the act of playing it the way you are forced to is not exactly something I particularly enjoyed. This leaves me with how I would score this thing. To make matters worse the AI for his character is completely mindless, felt completely useless, and never seems to be able to do anything you want him to do. What could have been fun comic relief in small doses quickly becomes an obnoxious source of irritation that will never let up.

You are stuck with Hurk through the entirety of the game and he will never shut up and just talk and talk and talk endlessly throughout it. Tried to see if I could dismiss him from my roster, no way. I tried to see if I could mute him, no chance. I didn't even get into Hurk, who annoyed me to no end as I seemingly couldn't go a minute without him spewing some lame comments that I have heard repeatedly. This game is pretty much just a joyless grind that is over when it finally starts to get fun. This game just abruptly ends and you just have some simple credits with a few illustrations of what could have been an ending, afterwards you just have the option to start a new game. In other words you never really enjoy playing this game, by the time you can finally enjoy it, it's over, and when it's over it's over. By the time you finally got all that great gear you would have loved to have while you were playing the game, it is already over and the only thing left to do is a few challenges and the final mission. Since this game is rather short (I beat it in about 4-5 hours) pretty much the entirety of your progress will be spent trying to acquire better gear. You quickly discover how you need to slowly unlock better weapons while grinding away for currency to pay for them. When you begin you just have jetpack (with very limited range) and a basic blaster pistol that won't get you far. What I didn't like is the grind of playing it. Some of the weapons are also pretty fun to play around with, but you don't unlock those until late in the game, which is how I will lead into what I didn't like about this. The setting is fun, the map offers a lot for exploration and the enemies have a fun gimmick taken out of the movie Tremmors that can become quite challenging. I'll start in with the good before I get into what I didn't like about it. It isn't awful, and it can be enjoyable at times, but overall the experience felt like a grind that wore away at me that I was happy to put behind me. It isn't awful, and it can be enjoyable at times, but overall the experience felt I just finished this game and had to write a review for it. I just finished this game and had to write a review for it. Lack of enemy diversity, gun restrictions for certain scenarios, and lack of vehicles detract from an otherwise great DLC. Unfortunately, the DLC definitely has some issues holding it back. A testament to the zany experience that is Lost on Mars. My most memorable moment has to be fighting an escaped test Yeti in a bovine testing laboratory. The story, although predictable, is fun and does not take itself too seriously. The playable character Nick and companion Robot Hurk have great dialogue and keep things lighthearted and entertaining the entire way through. Taking down alien queens and playing through some of the wacky tailored quests had me chuckling most of the way through. I had a lot of fun blasting crab aliens with the new arsenal of laser themed weaponry. Lost on Mars – Mars (7/10 Average): Lost on Mars is a short but fun experience that takes some of the best activities from the base game and Lost on Mars – Mars (7/10 Average): Lost on Mars is a short but fun experience that takes some of the best activities from the base game and removes many of the chores.
