Atomfall

Superb game. Really enjoyed the story and how customisable to your preferred gameplay style it is/ Very replayable too. The planning that the devs have put into the mission creation is incredibly impressive as there are multiple stories (no spoilers) that intertwine, but regardless of which you choose, and how you choose to end the others, the game is always able to be played to completion

Atomfall is a good game that’s almost, but never quite, great. It was initially sold as British Fallout, but British STALKER is closer to the truth - it’s a slow-paced game where ammunition is scarce set in an isolated area plagued by bizarre anomalies. As someone who grew up in northwest England (not Cumberland, but close), it’s clear that this was made by a team with a clear love for the area, filled with tiny little details that delighted me, and brilliant portrays its slow story and the revelations about what happened in Windscale. Unfortunately, it isn’t great - it’s clunky, combat is too awkward at times, and none of the characters really shine (though all of the voice actors are great). It’s also pretty short for the price, and I’m a bit doubtful about how much replayability there is. But still, I do like it, it’s just not quite great.

Too much combat and almost impossible to hide.

You can't change the display resolution, only in fullscreen mode. Do I need to say more?

Finely tuned gameplay, a rich atmosphere, and a deep sense of exploration are choked by lack of both story and player progression throughout the game, limited inventory management, and a malnourished economy. Scarcity of ammunition does a great job of making you feel like every shot counts, but melee offers such a poor alternative that it's usually easier to just run through areas rather than clear them out. The playable areas are stacked with hidden clues and bunkers, partly because there are only a handful that you will spend the entire game shuttling back and forth between. Reminiscent of Myst, time is suspended with no discernable sense of progression other than how many puzzles you've solved; the further I got through the game the less interested I became in finishing it.

Better than any Fallout since New Vegas.

Great game. Very exploration and reading heavy, you have to read and pay attention to solve the puzzle of what you're doing and where you're going. The areas are beautiful and very well crafted. Reminded me a lot of Fallout and The Outer Worlds.

Updated fallout formula with an interesting premise. I'm not finished yet and admittedly don't know how to progress rn but I've been a detective and a soldier. I'm playing on difficult and the fact that headshots matter is so nice. I know I'm not meant to be there yet but you can sneak past human enemies or slowly at least. Excited for a 2nd playthrough on easy to see how much variation the story actually has but even if not it is captivating. Excited to hopefully see more in a future game and maybe with a stat system. Just leave shooting as is. Your immediate capability to dispatch enemies is what guides your playstyle. Why you might try to talk it through instead.

A nice little game that is a kind of a mix of Fallout and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. set in England. The game might feel a little short and the world a little small without the DLCs, other then that I liked it.

I wish I could recommend this game I really wish... but I just can't. The game has the making of a quite fun game but sadly falls short in so many aspects. It is very insistent on it's survival part, especially with how limited your inventory is, for example. Yet is also insists on just having enemies respawn infinitely. It's story as well is just baffling. You do basically nothing and already get access to the militaries high security prison and are allowed whatever you want there. If you go back to the military and report your findings, including the device that just let's you ♥♥♥♥ with all advanced electronics, especially the militaries, he just goes ''Well damn... anyway, feel free to keep it'' He also seems to be entirely interested in doing so one thing he REALLY should do for the only apparant purpose of having the main character do it. The interchange as well, I mean, it's okay? I kind of just sighed when I opened one of the shutters and saw that it went for the very creative choice of ''The bunker is filled with mutated zombies''. In many cases I also really do not see what is supposed to incentivise you to go explore. Killing enemies neither gets rid of them nor does it get you anything usually, as such you don't really have a big reason to go explore.
