Mystery Steam Reviews: video games that are set on the moon

We’ve had to branch out for this episode of our weekly quiz. The rivalry has dominated Earth, so now it’s time we looked to our cheesy friends on the moon.

For this week’sMystery Steam Reviewsboth myself and Matthew had to choose three games that are set on the moon, or have a level on the moon, or just go to the moon. While I don’t think I need to explain it any further, I will say that there are a surprising lack of video games that go to the moon…

MYSTERY STEAM REVIEWS RULE BIBLE™

For those not in the know, or who need a refresher.

Colm and Matthew both bringthreeSteam reviews to the MSR arena (yes, arena), but they omit the name of the game each review is for. Their opponent must correctly guess the name of that game, including any numbers or subtitles. However, there is some leeway for things such as “Complete Edition” or “Definitive Edition.” One correct answer = one point.

While both combatants have90 secondson each Mystery Steam Review, they also have help in the form of three lifelines. These can be used at any stage during battle, and pause the 90-second timer. Each lifeline can only be used once.
