Lunar Lander Beyond is definitely beyond what it’s predecessor brought. Everything has been turned up and upside down with this reimagining. The insanity aspect and the ability to get new ships and upgrades is really cool, while the overall story is fun and lighthearted at times while being scary and intriguing at others. Its one of those games where you want to constantly do better and want to beat that tough mission you failed at 30 times. You just want to hop back in and keep trying, and it really makes for a good time. I can recommend this one for anyone looking for a unique challenge that will keep you busy for a long while, and for those that like reimagining of classic games. Another solid release for Atari!

Lunar Lander: Beyond is a loving reimagining of the Atari classic, with some seriously cool mechanics and a whole lot of variety.

First, I really appreciate their effort to preserve the feeling of the first lunar lander: easy to learn, incredibily hard to master. At the beginning you start with a lander which resembles the original but in later stages you unlock two more: the dragonfly which is very easy to fly but is quite fragile, and the spider which moves and rotates insanely fast. The graphics and music are good, and the story, while a little bit a generic tale of the "Evil Corporation" is a nod to the kind of fiction that was popular in the late 70s. Conclusion: Beyond is not, by any means, a perfect game but it does not deserve the absurd low scores it's getting from a handful of critics. If you played the original, this is a fantastic game that will make you feel nostalgic. You'll die (a lot) in this game, but once you land it feels really rewarding.

Complete rebuild of the original arcade classic Lunar Lander from Atari. Multiple ships and powerups, pilots that you can level up, and a super cool synth soundtrack make this game one of my favorites of 2024 so far! Don't sleep on this one, it's a hit!

Lunar Lander Beyond is a great example of how to modernize a classic game from the early days of videogames without changing its essence. With great controls, an artistic style full of identity and originality of purpose, the game surprises, entertains and is addictive... a lot.

Although I love the original and most of the games that it inspired, I found Lunar Lander Beyond to ironically be a step back. Yes, it can still be a rewarding game but the sense of accomplishment will often only come after much frustration.

A spirited attempt to reimagine the ancient 70s coin-op as a modern narrative-based game, but the necessarily simple gameplay is a poor match for the overblown storytelling.

Lunar Lander Beyond offers some great mechanical ideas, but it’s the execution and the lack of finesse that left me wanting more. From landers with sluggish controls to pilots and their traits cancelling out the challenges those brought on. It makes for a game that is frustrating as it carries so many neat ideas that are all lost in the final execution.

Lunar Lander Beyond attempts something of a reboot of the Atari classic with a modern wrapper. But underneath the shiny hood, the gameplay is virtually unchanged, difficult, and dull, and the extras have done nothing to implement a reward system that might keep newcomers trying to develop the skills needed to enjoy it.

Not very polished physics, empty conversations, sluggishness and excessively slow loading times, it doesn't seem like there's a company like Atari behind it.

Ridiculous physics. Spaceship rotation really really slow, too many slow + Timed Missions = Stress. Nothing else to say.
