Atlas Fallen Reviews
Atlas Fallen offers a mix of fun gameplay, solid visuals, and good sound design that creates an immersive experience. This game invites you to explore its sandy landscapes and uncover hidden secrets, making it a worthwhile adventure. However, combat encounters can become repetitive, especially against similar enemies, the story’s pacing can be uneven at times and there are occasional frame drops that can be distracting during gameplay. If you like action-packed games with a bit of exploration, this game is definitely worth a look.
Atlas falls, and rises again!
With welcome improvements, quality of life changes, and new content, Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand enhances the game developed by Deck13. However, the update mainly improves the game's existing strengths and fails to address the core issues with its combat system. As a result, the update delivers only partial improvements, leaving those dissatisfied with the game's floaty and unsatisfying combat still wanting more.
The game has interesting ideas and only manages to land about half of them. Though admirably attempting to blend more expansive action and some cool movement options, nothing ends up being tuned quite well enough to bring it all together.
There's bright spots to Atlas Fallen. The combat is great, the story has a lot of potential, but the graphics and voice acting just drag the whole experience down.

Atlas Fallen is a great example of a game with an interesting premise and a weak execution. Fun sand-sliding and some plot points are probably the only things that would hold your attention up until the end credits.

Atlas Fallen is an action-packed RPG game with a storyline that starts slow, but the action-packed combat keeps it interesting. The co-op aspect has worked perfectly, and it is a blast to play with a friend. The fetch-and-grab quests, disappointing voiceovers, and writings make the game shine less than its true potential. To defeat a god is no easy perk, but you better wait for a sale before embarking on this adventure.
Atlas Fallen is a competent action role-playing game that supports some interesting play styles with its Momentum gauge. While the story and voice acting disappoint, the stars of the show here are the sand surfing, platform navigation, and world. Serviceable as it is, however, Atlas Fallen could have been so much better. Despite some interesting mechanics, its gameplay is so generic that it never really establishes its own identity. Players can enjoy it without much complaint, but in a year of stellar titles, its competence never truly shines.
Atlas Fallen is a title that copies mechanics and ideas from other titles but does not shine in anything. The gameplay is particularly dull and unsatisfying, the plot uninvolving and lacking in basic mechanics for a 2023 title. Had it come out in 2010 as the developers' debut title it would have been nice as a cheap alternative to darksiders 1 (a title from which Atlas Fallen seems to borrow a lot) but in 2023 from developers who have good experience in this area anyway we expected significantly more.

Atlas Fallen is a decent open-world action RPG co-op or solo experience.
Atlas Fallen is a game with its strengths and weaknesses. However, the truth is that most of what was created could be done better. The game is just mediocre in too many aspects and the only wow thing is a shining combat. This is not Deck13 Interactive's best game; the creators are capable of more. Perhaps they should stick to working on the soulslike genre.

Unfortunately, Atlas Fallen is entirely forgettable. It lacks polish, featuring sloppy and tedious combat, along with a boilerplate story and characters that won’t resonate with anyone. While riding sand dunes with friends provides amusement and a sense of freedom, gamers are better off with Forspoken, where its annoying characteristics at least leave an impression.
We definitely way better games than Atlas Fallen from Deck 13. Atlas Fallen has its fun moments but overall falls short of many aspects. Storytelling is completely chaotic and old school action mechanics fail to impress.

Atlas Fallen has some really interesting ideas, but poor execution of those results in a truly flawed product.
Atlas Fallen’s momentum system is a fantastic idea and works well, but the fights themselves aren’t interesting enough to keep up.
What becomes clear in the end is that Atlas Fallen is characterized by a general lack of inspiration.

Atlas Fallen is a game with fairly entertaining gameplay and a great combat system. The graphics are not of the highest caliber, but this does not make the game any less entertaining. In addition, the story is unfortunately not a huge highlight.

Atlas Fallen had promise, but nothing that this game strives to accomplish ever lands very well or feels fully realized. Between a lackluster story filled with generic and soulless voice acting and a combat system that loses its momentum well before the credits roll, there is rarely a moment where this game feels memorable or worth the time to finish. There is some good stuff on the surface of Deck13’s new IP, with its beautiful vistas and interesting world-building and aesthetic, but digging past the surface of Atlas Fallen shows that it is mostly hollow underneath.
Atlas Fallen is a good RPG game that delivers an mediocre experience at the end of the day. Nothing more or nothing less. Combat is fun, but story and characters are extremely disappointing. in general, it's a one time experience game that could entertain you for some hours, without creating any magical moments along the way.

It's not a deep experience and many might leave unsatisfied by its sluggish pacing, dialogue and story. Atlas Fallen is an easy recommend on sale but for now, 2023 has a lot more to offer.
