I built some wonky robots in Mars First Logistics, and they keep spilling potatoes

Have you ever wanted to be a logistics and delivery drone driver and engineer on the surface of Mars? If so then honestly, wow, that's a very specific wish, but congratulations: Mars First Logistics is here to fulfill that desire. The new open-world physics game has you design and pilot robots to transport a variety of both practical and whimsical cargo across the rolling dunes and rugged stones of the barren red world.

What's most fun about it is that you build up infrastructure doing very serious hauling jobs: Steel girders and a reflective mirror for a new telescope, which then becomes a location you visit and take jobs from. Those jobs are balanced with slightly sillier tasks, like a crate of potatoes that needs moving from point A to B. Or worse, just... three potatoes. No crate. Just sitting on the ground. One of which your custom-built and delicately balanced potato-lifting bot will, invariably, drop into a deep chasm.
