“Deceptively simple, but very well designed. It's a game where you build robots to deliver things. Imagine Besiege, but you're a courier instead of a warlord. The thing that pleasantly surprised me is that, while there…”
“Коротке враження про гру: Mars First Logistics - це блискучий sandbox, у якому нам потрібно будувати марсоходи під певні задачі. Головне чим ми будемо займатись - доставкою різноманітних речей з однієї локації в іншу.…”
“Fun, challenging game with a tight focus and good physics. Encourages thinking outside the box and flexible thinking. I play it with my kids and they adore it. The controls are too complex for them so I do the controls.”

“This is one of those situations where I genuinely do not understand how this game hasn't gained some sort of incredible mainstream appeal. This is the game we always wish Lego would make, where you're building working…”
“One of my most favorite games ever. Everything works seemlesly. And you can do whatever you want. Also the farther you get into the game the more fun it gets.”
“Lots of fun solving physics tasks by building different vehicles. Very well paced. Hoping for even more content in the future!”

“12 hours in and the game hasn't ran out of interesting engineering problems to throw at me yet. If you like vehicles, puzzles and want creativity with (or without) set restrictions, get this!”

“This game is for a specific person. Are you someone with a problem solving, engineering mind, and you really really like LEGOs? This game will consume your life. Are you not one of those people? This game isn't for you. Very sadly, I am not one of those people. And I say sadly…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“I had an absolute blast with this game. Unlike other vehicle builders where over-powered parts eventually make every challenge trivial, Mars First Logistics demands actual problem-solving skills. For example, there are no gyro stabilizers for flying vehicles, which make building…”
