About
A survival-action game inspired by real-life events, Atomfall is set five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster in Northern England.
Explore the fictional quarantine zone, scavenge, craft, barter, fight and talk your way through a British countryside setting filled with bizarre characters, mysticism, cults, and rogue government agencies.
From Rebellion, the studio behind Sniper Elite and Zombie Army, Atomfall will challenge you to solve the dark mystery of what really happened.
Player Driven Mystery: Unravel a tapestry of interwoven narratives through exploration, conversation, investigation, and combat, where every choice you make has consequences.
Search, Scavenge, Survive: You’ll need to scavenge for supplies, craft weapons and items, and fight desperately to make it out alive!
Desperate Combat: With weapons and ammunition scarce, each frenetic engagement will see you blend marksmanship with vicious hand-to-hand combat. Manage your heart rate to hold a steady aim and ensure you have the energy you need to reach for your cricket bat and land the killer blow.
Green and Unpleasant Land: The picturesque British countryside, with rolling green hills, lush valleys, and rural villages belie the dangers that await you. Navigate cult-controlled ruins, natural caves, nuclear bunkers and more as you explore this dense, foreboding world.
Reimagining Windscale: A fictional reimagining of a real-world event, Atomfall draws from science fiction, folk horror, and Cold War influences to create a world that is eerily familiar yet completely alien.

Вот честно я пытался начать эту игру, хотел погрузиться, игра изначально вызывала желание поиграть, но играя в нее меня не покидала мысль, ну нет, она не стоит, чтобы тратить на нее время, игра медленная, стрельба может дальше конечно станет лучше, но в начале это просто вызывает уныние и печаль, за полтора часа я так и не смог себя заставить в нее играть
This game would be amazing if it wasn't for the inventory system. But with the inventory system the game is unplayable in my opinion.
great game, but dont expect Fallout4 its a different kind of adventure
As an avid fan of post-apocalyptic settings, this game caught my eye by putting a quaint British spin on it. I really enjoyed my time with the game, enough to get every achievement it has on offer. For that reason alone, I felt a review was justified. I'd also like to give the developer, Rebellion, credit where credit is due. I know and love them from their Sniper Elite franchise. I was happy to see they could pull of something different. First things first, this game has a ridiculous texture issue that is still not fixed. You can find reports of it everywhere. Random textures in the game look super muddy and low-detail. If that's a deal-breaker for you, avoid this game. You could be in a gorgeous area and one seemingly unloaded texture will utterly break your immersion. I'm disappointed that an issue like that is still persistent this far after launch. I was able to largely ignore it, but buyer beware. I loved the setting of this game, and the detective-style plot. You have to dig for information on where to go and who to talk to. The game was enough of a challenge for me on the Veteran difficulty, and the resource management scratched a sort of "survival" itch for me (naturally, I hoarded everything and walked away with an abundance of resources by the end of the game, not truly getting to enjoy the fruits of my labor. it always happens that way lol). If you decide to pick this up, you'll probably love the atmosphere, characters, and setting. The gameplay itself isn't bad, but enemy and weapon variety could be better. I found the handful of weapons I grew attached to and rarely, if ever, swapped them out. However, it was always thrilling finding a new weapon, and especially upgrading them. I also appreciated that skills had to be learned from manuals either found in-world or bartered for. And that's another thing. The bartering system in this game is neat! But your very-limited inventory and far-away stash spots mean that you'll only ever be trading with what you have on-hand. And once you get that coveted manual or atomic battery that trader has, you have little reason to ever pay them another visit. Enemies are sort of repetitive, and they respawn not long after defeating them, which is annoying considering that on higher difficulties it can feel like you're just wasting ammo/heals even engaging them. Which takes me to the stealth aspect...stealth in this game is pretty awful. It is tedious and uninspired, and again, on higher difficulties, felt like a total waste of skill points/time. But the game offers many ways to play, and that is part of its charm. My first-run of the game took me between 20-30 hours, DLC included. But when I attempted to speedrun it, I was able to do it easily in a little over an hour. For the most part, I enjoyed the DLCs. I especially liked how they tie into and influence the ending of the main story. That was really cool. But the same issues rear their ugly heads again. The Wicked Isle's overabundance of bullet sponge Druids gets incredibly frustrating, resulting in yet again, the wasting of tons of ammo and resources on them. I HATE THE DRUIDS. And the map itself is a bit of a pain in the butt to navigate. The Red Strain felt like a spiritual callback to Fallout: New Vegas' "BIG MT" DLC, but with a tremendous difficulty spike. The enemies here are tough and relentless, and oh yeah, they never stop respawning. But, I did not regret purchasing or playing these add-ons. They were again solid, despite their annoyances. This game is still a rock solid 7/10 in my opinion. "The Interchange" is seriously cool to explore. That was my favorite aspect of the game. But the horrible backtracking and dodgy resource management can be at odds with itself. TLDR; play this for the setting and neat detective-inspired story gimmick, and hope you beat it before the monotony of back-tracking and enemy/weapon repetition sets it. But, to the game's credit, there is more than enough here to captivate your interest. Be warned that there is also enough for it to overstay its welcome. Absolutely worth it on sale.
awesome
This started like Fallout New Vegas with Quests appearing left and right, but quickly contained itself to a few main quests with very little motivation to do anything else. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the game, I hope this wouldnt be a one-off, and there would be a new game in this universe. Oberon must die!
Interesting open world game, lots to explore, worth playing. Runs stable, no crashes so far.
Seems like a nice mix of inspirations based off stalker, fallout and BioShock but British. The back and forth to figure out things can get a tad repetitive visuals are great. The gun reload animation *smacks lip against the throat* Nice. Overall decent game. I bought it for 10 quid on sale. I would not think its worth the full price of 45 quid. But on sale its a fairly short and repayable game. And I prefer the game making me read and think instead of point me in the different directions. The AI in my personal experience can be a bit too derpy as well which is fine sometimes but sometimes annoying. E.g. I entered a trespass area they are suppose to attack me. But sometimes they agro and run away. Anyway if you grab it on Sale and you like Stalker/fallout/BioShock I do think you will find some fun in this.
One of the best open world games I've played in years. No Quicktime-Events, no hour-long videos or awkward camera angles. Just explore and be smart about how you approach situations. Resources are limited, but it doesn't come down to the micromanagement of some survival games. That said, inventory space is limited which creates some overhead where you spend time managing your inventory instead of furthering the plot. The game runs very stable and performant, the graphics design is very beautiful and immersive. Listen closely to sound effects as they will give queues and early warnings.
I think this is the second review that I have done. I recommend this game for a any level of gamer. I really enjoyed it. With the DLC, I completed all 5 (I hope that was all) endings. I'm rarely the completionist. Pros: Good pace, you can change the level of combat interactions, great story. All clues you can track and lead you around. Personally, I love the running around finding stuff. Limited backpack space made me think of what I really need at any given time. Out of backpack storage was well done. Cons: Needed a better ending video of something blowing up. I was expecting a world shattering Kaboom, It was alright seeing the carnage once you were out. (I don't want to spoil it) The rapid transit system was only really useful toward the end. Manipulated Items were limited. Vendors need a larger selection and need restocks quicker. OVERALL 4 of 5 stars
