Critic Reviews for Atomfall
If you can get over a difficult start and fancy a lean take on the survival genre, Atomfall delivers an intriguing tale worth discovering.
Atomfall is a compelling, post-apocalyptic survival story that satisfyingly bends to your choices and discoveries no matter which direction you take.
Atomfall looks amazing and has some really great ideas, but most of those ideas are overshadowed by frustrating game design and mechanical roadblocks.
Atomfall can be a fun diversion, but it really needs to take a gap year so it can find itself.
As someone who spent countless childhood holidays roaming these same Cumbrian hills before returning to a static caravan or family tent, Atomfall perfectly captures the British countryside. Combine that with a brilliant quest system and the tension of survival combat, and you’ve got a recipe for success. Now grab that cricket bat and decapitate a zombie before it eats your brains with Yorkshire puddings and gravy.
With its wide-open quest design, Atomfall takes a novel approach to storytelling that helps push through some of its lesser parts.
It reminded me a lot of The Chinese Room’s Still Wakes the Deep in this way - well-crafted, unquestionably good fun, but with a story that feels like it’s probably the weakest part of the thing, either because it’s leaning a bit too heavily on genre tropes or holding back from actually committing to delivering on the elements that could go beyond that.
