• Atomfall

    From Mr Rob@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 26 11:37:23 2025
    Has anyone else played Atomfall yet?

    I did get a special promotion discounted copy which came with some DLC
    and 3 days of early access.

    I'm enjoying it so far. It does remind me greatly of Fallout games and especially Fallout London. It has its own quirks that make it clearly
    its own game with its own ideas, but it is close enough to a Fallout
    game to make you want to play those games again once you've finished
    it.

    I like games that encourage and reward exploration , Atomfall does
    both of those things. It does have its own grating version of
    invisible walls in the form of sloping ground that looks easily
    scalable, only to be forced back down again part the way up via a
    sliding animation. Other similar areas where the game wants to let you
    go will of course allow you to traverse them.



    So far, I really like it though.

    I looked at the Steam store page, it does appeal to me... $50 for a
    single player game, unless I have another reason to buy early is a bit
    of a hard sell for me though. I did wishlist it, will more than
    likely get it on sale at a later time.

    No but thanks for the comments. It's definitely on my games I want to
    play list. Not in a hurry since I just spent some considerable time with Fallout: London and Star Wars Outlaws seems to hold my interest for
    now. At some nearish future point for sure.

    Wow I guess the $50 price I saw yesterday was a pre-order deal, now
    it's at $70. So yeah, I'll be waiting for a while on this one I
    think.

    Welp, it seems this morning when I looked the $50 version didn't
    appear, but now it does.. weird. Sentiment still stands though, I'll
    take a look at this when it's maybe $15-20.
