VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Thanks to publisher Atari and developer Dreams Uncorporated, Lunar Lander gets another chance to shine. The result of their collaboration, Lunar Lander Beyond, is a competent game, yet it could have been so much more. The story starts off strong, but doesn't go anywhere truly exciting. Pilot trait and health mechanics begin with promise, but — outside of the "Insane" difficulty — don't move the needle in a significant way. The level designs are enjoyable at first, but fail to evolve as things move forward. Really, the only area where the game consistently shines is art direction. That's not to say Lunar Lander Beyond is mediocre or majorly deficient — it's actually a fairly agreeable experience, with nice build variety and some intriguing nods to the rogue-like genre — but it feels only partially realized."
CCG writes - "Lunar Lander Beyond is one of those decent and fun games that, while enjoyable, isn't exceptional. Not everything must be amazing, though. For a game trying to revitalize a classic property in a modern way, it does that pretty well. It certainly has moments that are quite frustrating, as well as a few difficulty spikes around the middle of the game. The controls are a mixed bag, but I suppose the original Lunar Lander wasn't a walk in the part either; mastering the controls was half of the fun and challenge there. I feel like the game deserves more success than it's currently had (based on current Steam review count), and I attribute that to a price that's a bit on the higher side. It's not a terrible value, as it took me around ten hours to complete. I would say it's worth a purchase on discount, though."
Review - Lunar Lander Beyond is a brilliant reimagining of a classic. If you have any memories of Lunar Lander, then Beyond will drag them up
The latest from a resurgent Atari team, Lunar Lander Beyond touches down on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
