Atomfall Review (MiAh The King)
So my mistake was going into this game expecting it to be an RPG like Fallout or The outer Worlds.
It was not. It’s probably closer to Bioshock or Alien: Isolation.
With the similar gameplay, mechanics, crafting, and locked off areas only accessible after you’ve received a unique tool you encounter way over there.
That’s not a bad thing. I mean I gave this game a thumbs up right? But obviously because I went in expecting it to be something else it kinda threw me off.
Overall the game looks great, sounds amazing and plays incredibly well. The stability is great, the gameplay is fun and engaging and the idea is interesting and different too.
The only thing I really didn’t like was how directionless the game is. It gives you no help, barely any hints or vague hints at best and you’ll pretty much have no idea where to go or what to do and even when you progress to something that feels like it’s supposed to be something, you’ll be questioning the entire time whether you’re even supposed to be there yet or not. I legitimately feel like I missed some key story moments because with the games lack of direction I found myself just out and about doing random stuff because I had no idea where to go or what to do. With barely any markers placed to let you know where to go or even which general direction to head towards and you’re gonna be lost almost immediately. I hated this. I hate games with lack of direction.
But that’s really the only negative I have to say about the game. Everything else about the game felt really well designed, it was stable too. I suppose overall this game is definitely worth it’s asking price and worth your time. HOWEVER, don’t go into it expecting an RPG. There’s no leveling system, no persuasion skills, lockpicking, pickpocketing, stuff like that. So…keep that in mind as you make your choice. (If there are things like that in the game I didn’t find any hint of em.)
