From Deliver Us Mars to Deliver On Mars
MARS FIRST LOGISTICS

Playing Mars First Logistics, we quickly become aware that we’d never have made it as a NASA engineer. Having been given a rough completion time for this handful of early tasks, we find ourselves exceeding that estimate on one mission alone, our various additions to the basic rover with which we’ve been provided to fulfil a series of deliveries causing it to capsize at the slightest provocation: accelerating up a gentle slope, say, or brushing the right rear wheel against a small rock. Sure, we can reset our haphazardly constructed vehicle in a pinch, but doing so means we have to pick our cargo up again – a job that is a good deal trickier than it sounds.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector

Stabiliser was the core of Citizen Sleeper, in both its mechanics and metaphors. It was medication, essentially, the only way to halt your own planned obsolescence. As an android Sleeper, you'd been sold into indentured servitude by your 'original', the person who signed a contract to have their personality copied and emulated inside a robotic frame, as cheap labour. That kind of corporate arrangement is rarely built to last.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD

Buy the deluxe edition of this HD Wii remake and, alongside the cartridge, you'll receive a little plastic barrel. While the Kong family has been synonymous with such vessels since 1981, a cynic might suggest that underlining the connection might be unwise, lest Nintendo be accused of scraping the bottom of one itself. After all, Tropical Freeze got this same treatment in 2018, courtesy of Nintendo's realisation, in the early days of Switch, that it now had a home for Wii U's more unfairly forgotten releases. The arrival, seven years later, of that game's relatively primitive predecessor can only seem like a final spot of mopping up before the Switch doors are closed for good. It could also, perhaps, be taken as another sign of renewed interest in the character, in light of the addition of a Donkey Kong Country area to the Super Nintendo World park in Japan, and the rumours of a cinematic spinoff that have circled since The Super Mario Bros Movie's enormous success.
