Mars: War Logs

About

Mars: War Logs drops you on a resource-starved Mars ruled by corporate warlords. You play Roy, a skilled loner navigating a world where water is currency and survival means picking your allies carefully. The game lets you shape your playstyle with branching skills, melee, ranged, stealth, or supernatural tech powers. Craft gear, gather a team of sidekicks, and tackle missions that range from mercenary work to political sabotage. Combat is fast and twitchy, mixing real-time action with tactical decision-making. The setting leans hard into cyberpunk grit, with large colonies and brutal factions vying for dominance. While the 2013 release date means it’s showing its age, its mix of character customization and unpredictable story paths still holds up. The open-ended quests and multiple skill trees keep things fresh, even if some systems feel dated. Available on PS3, PC, and Xbox 360.
