Far Cry 5: Lost On Mars Reviews
If you're on the fence with this one, you won't miss anything should you choose to pass.
Lost on Mars' shallowness and repetitive structure are issues for sure, but the DLC isn't long enough for them to become too much of a problem. As such, in the end, it's a fairly enjoyable but ultimately forgettable experience.
Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars gets so much wrong it's almost baffling. Focusing on one of the series' most annoying characters, an environment that is difficult to explore, boring combat full of bullet sponge enemies... these are just some of the problems of this DLC expansion.
Hours of Darkness was not a good DLC at least for me, and honestly I wasn’t expect to Lost on Mars can surprise me and act different from the first DLC, but fortunately it surprises me in a very good way and remind me of a very good valuable DLC like Blood Dragon. Lost on Mars is like a separate game from Far Cry 5 and takes you to a fun journey on Mars. Various gameplay elements, very good range of new weapons and upgrades (for a DLC) and various missions and activities to do, made Lost on Mars a valuable DLC that absolutely worth its 10 $ price and entertained me for more than 9 hours, like a brand new game.

Despite going to Mars and robots and aliens and lasers, Lost on Mars is so pedestrian and does nothing new with the setting besides a few platforming puzzles. Saving the world feels rather dull in a desert on Mars.
Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars is a good waste of time! If you can ignore the very uninteresting and sometimes annoying narrative and character developments, you can find a unique gameplay with varied guns, powers, enemies and also fun and weird missions. Unlike the previous DLC, Lost on Mars actually delivers a lot of new content and systems that we have never seen in a Far Cry game before.

If you like sci-fi and Hurk, Lost on Mars has a treat for you. There's a surprising amount to do, tons of aliens to kill, and even some Clutch Nixon challenges. A highly recommended DLC.
From a pure mechanical point of view Lost on Mars is decent. It generally retains the fun of Far Cry 5 action in a different setting and story. The problem comes in the execution, with the previous originality and variety of missions and situations replaced by bland tower climbing and frustratingly repetitive boss fights. There is humour in Hurk and his tale and the AI 'ANNE' displays all the traits of a typically psychopathic computer system well. However, this humour only goes so far and can't assist in battling through the hours and hours of looped gameplay with weapon upgrades being the only meaningful reward for doing so. It is fair to say it hasn't been a vintage collection of expansion campaigns for Season Pass holders so far, with many arguably wanting more quality so far for Far Cry 5. Hopefully, the final one will make up for these disappointments.
Lost on Mars is a fun, great looking DLC. It makes use of new gameplay mechanics and adapts some of older ones to fit Mars atmosphere. Unfortunately it's repetitive and empty.
