Drown out the vaguely pseudophilosophical and largely disposable story with music from Man of Steel or Unbreakable, and you have yourself a fascinating take on a superhero game, resting somewhere between Superman and Dr. Manhattan. More than anything, a loneliness simulator showcasing the sheer isolation of unfathomable power. Cities and NPCs are like moving ants to you, the virtual nonexistence of their interactivity demonstrating the unbridgeable gap between a normal individual and a deity who holds the keys to all of time and space. In a single second, you can do more damage to a city than any enemy. Protect the people not just from invasion, but from your own incalculable strength. Or venture out into the stars, feeling the complete isolation of their lifelessness, and move from empty world to empty world, flying forward till the end of time.
