Atomfall

THE GAME IS GOOD IF YOU FORGET IT SET IN THE UK

Honestly, if it were not for the fact that I've been painfully bored lately I don't think I would've finished it. It's got some fun ideas, but I'd be curious to see what the studio makes next. Shooting and Melee combat feel abysmal and there sorta is stealth? But not really? Only real option you have is takedowns from behind enemies but I swear they just randomly 180 at you once you get even remotely close. Oh, and whoever is in charge of the Antialiasing implementation might wanna take another crack at it. Without using a reshade, every single texture looked like a shimmery mess when strafing side to side. Whole damn world looked like it was flickering and this is just a known problem with the game. Definitely doesn't stop you from playing but my god is it distracting. If you're looking for an open world shooter and are painfully bored and this is on sale, it's alright.

beautiful game 10/10, good old English slang as well very funny.

Ótimo jogo, belos gráficos, uma história legal, mas demanda ler as notas e bilhetes encontrados. Bastante satisfatório!

I played through this game several times and got different endings. While it can't keep up with the biggest triple A RPG open world titles out there, it has a unique charm, a 'feel' of something a bit out of the ordinary that may remind some of us older generation gamers of what games 'used' to feel like. Give it a try if you're vibing a post apocaliptic open world style of experiences. It's a quick grab when discounted.

[h1]Atomfall is doing its own thing[/h1] Atomfall's biggest downfall is being compared to other titles such as Fallout, but that is such a disservice to such an interesting game. For me, even the title gives off totally the wrong impression. The name "Atomfall" made me think that this was a low budget Fallout rip-off, but neither story, setting nor gameplay is similiar to those games. Many reviews on here nitpick things that they don't like (ex. lack of RPG-mechanics, small inventory, obtuse quests) and I feel like they came in expecting something the wrong type of game. If you go in expecting a survial shooter with immersive sim elements, then I think you will have a great time. But don't come in expecting Fallout 5, because Atomfall is not trying to be that.

The game is fine overall, good in many places. The story is where it shines most and really should be a narrative driven RPG but it's not. The most interesting parts of the experience are meeting people and discovering the secrets of the zone and its characters. This is, however, not that in depth or developed because, again this isn't really a narrative driven experience. You can do what characters ask of you, or not, sometimes with no ramifications and things simply being left open ended. With no character creation, the game is limited only in how you choose to take things in each moment. The minute to minute gameplay is a survival horror (sometimes) adjacent experience. The whole thing boils down to a series of fetch quests interspersed with stealth which you will use probably in the earlier game and combat which you will likely use later. Resources are scarce and most everyone is hostile. It can be engaging, especially in its early hours, though quickly becomes tedious. There is not much enemy variety (about 5 off the top of my head) and once you have dealt with them once or twice, seeing them reappear over and over for entirety of the game will just feel like an annoyance. As mentioned before, the story is the strongest element of the game, though even here I would have to emphasise what is clearly the only thing driving the plot forward: mystery. This is fine and it is interesting to uncover what you can. But it really isn't that much. Even by the late game, nothing is particularly clear and barely anything is fully explained to you. You keep playing thinking, now I'll find out, or after this, it will all become obvious, but it doesn't. This can only carry a narrative so far and leaves you feeling a bit underwhelmed by the finale. Perhaps this is to set the game up for a sequel, which I would not be opposed to. Despite many criticisms, I would still suggest people give this game a go. The gameplay is more than passable and the story is mostly engaging. There's a lot of potential here and it would be fun to see where else this trajectory of alternate history can go. And for purely selfish reasons, as a UK resident its fun to see this country and its history depicted in games, and would always love to see more of it.
