It is hard to compress in one short review just how much Atomic Super Lander offers, basically because what it offers -the very deep and complex mechanics behind its premises- is very well hidden, it comes of as natural. The premise is simple: you are a regular, everyday, normal guy …

Oh, thank god. After getting angry at myself for the Kerflux review, and angry at the developers when it came to Pandora’s Books, it’s nice to see something that I can be a bit more positive about, even if that something lasted less time than the average sneeze. I guess …
