    Atlas Fallen is a solid game that respects a player's time.

    Atlas Fallen might not make any game of the year lists, but its inventive, refreshing combat is worth checking out. It will require a bit of patience, as the opening and closing acts are a protracted slog, in addition to numerous bugs, but the foundation is set for a sequel that capitalizes on the promise of this new IP.

    Even though the developers deserve praise for changing gears after The Surge 2, we cannot shake the feeling that Deck 13 aimed a little too high with this one.

    Atlas Fallen does several fun and interesting things, such as sand surfing and deepening combat with the Momentum meter. At the same time, the gameplay feels a bit stiff and graphically there are some issues that stand out. The battles can also get a bit monotonous, but at the same time the game really does offer everything you expect from an open world action-RPG, which is fine.

    All the ingredients of a great open-world RPG are here, but the lacklustre combat, bugs, and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it story leave an unpleasant taste. [Issue#32, p.86]

    While the game had its high points, there’s a lot of unexplored potential on the table. I found it hard to care about the people of the world, frequently becoming bored. I couldn’t buy into the story and immerse myself into the game as I’ve done with other games. Atlas Fallen isn’t a bad game — it’s just not an excellent one, either.

    The first time you’re given the chance to surf down a sand-covered mountain in Atlas Fallen, it’s invigorating. You immediately want to do it again, and you can. Anywhere there is sand, you can surf, and slide, and leap great distances while admiring the stunning horizon. A moment like that doesn’t exist for the game’s combat. And when lacklustre combat makes up the bulk of Atlas Fallen’s loop, it makes it that much harder to work up the motivation to continue exploring everything else the world has to offer.

    Another blatant example of how useless the gaming “journalism” has become. This is a game that knows it’s just a combination of better games -Another blatant example of how useless the gaming “journalism” has become. This is a game that knows it’s just a combination of better games - like it’s spiritual predecessor, Darksiders - and I love it for that reason. It isn’t trying to be some grandiose BS or act super duper serious. As one idiot critic says in their review, “Fine isn’t acceptable in 2023”, a tremendously stupid thing to say, particularly considering the insane level of irony having that come from a C-list website and someone part of an industry that keeps lowering its standards. But, alas, being good at a few different things but not reinventing the wheel is just not nearly good enough nowadays somehow. You’ve got to overcommit to one gimmick like most games with overly huge empty worlds and gloomy self-seriousness in order to be more than “Fine” these days. For me? No thanks.

    The combat is great, the environments and movement are top tier, even the straightforward story isn’t as bad as some make it sound - it’s mostly a couple specific voice acting performances that are reeeeally bad. I had and am still having a blast playing Atlas Fallen. It has other little flaws but they’ve been repeated ad nauseam. So I’ll just say it’s probably a solid 7.5, maybe an 8 if you love the combat style. It isn’t a 10, but it absolutely isn’t a 2 or whatever, let alone a 0. Plastering “0” scores on things they haven’t experienced or overreacting to one particular thing they don’t like, is something cretins on this site love to do, so even though I don’t like just giving it a 10 to “balance it out”, there’s less than 40 scores right now and I feel I need to help get it closer to reality. I would hesitate buying it at full price only if you’re looking for a AAA package with the production and story at that level. Otherwise, if you want to just shut your brain off and fly around the place with sick traversal and old school PS2/PS3 style God of War-like combat, I say go for it.

It is true that it has some inherent defects of the genre, however it is a game that captivates, from my personal opinion, the experience grows at the rate of the hours spent on it. Although its history is not a strong point, it allows the player to remain expectant of its events. Its duration is one of its strong points along with its fun, frenetic gameplay with a lot of customization in its builds.

    It is a game that I recommend, and it is worth giving it a chance, personally I am enjoying it, I have an advance of almost 25 hours of play in the most demanding level, and I have not finished it yet.

    I played The Surge 2, and I can mention from my personal opinion, that this game, being different from the genre, surpasses what the studio has done.

    DISAPPOINTING:

    The game feels very unpolished from the get-go had about 3 crashes randomly happen throughout the playthrough, combat feels a bit outdated and the sound effects dont add much immersion ; pop-ins are the norm ; for a Ps5 title it loads slow or as a standard Ps4 title would ; no instant loading this game is
    when you turn the camera the motion blur is so distracting especially in combat

    seems most skills you would want to use are capped behind a MOMENTUM gauge which you constantly have to keep attacking to build up the meter and avoid getting hit ; its no souls game but there were a couple of untimley deaths early on due to the system that got me killed or the camera which is at times abysmal allows enemies free hits on you while you scramble quickly to find the enemy again ; Npc names are weird and odd like npc females named short- stout, splinter, and googles and other odd names to name a npc; traversing feels slow after awhile so thankgod theres fast travel; the game is very short if your just doing the campaign soley ;ppl undoubtedly will compare this to Forspoken but Forspoken is a masterpiece compared to this

    this is a good weekend rental

    A short review of the game Atlas Fallen - desert of fault! Fast action, adventure among the caves under the desert and comboing with variousA short review of the game Atlas Fallen - desert of fault! Fast action, adventure among the caves under the desert and comboing with various weapons of the game are among the most enjoyable parts of this game. But the story and characterization works opposite to the gameplay and is considered the main Achilles heel of this game. But sometimes the sub-missions of the game are so attractive that it makes you find your game in the desert without water and grass that you have been busy with for several hours! The game world is beautiful and empty. The artistic graphics of the game are eye-catching and one of the few completely 9th generation experiences. But technical problems will make your overall experience of this work seriously affected. Even the graphics in the console versions are worse and it seems that the creators left a small budget to optimize the game! In addition to all the above problems, limited customization, weak soundtracks are also added, which greatly reduce the value of the game experience. But it should be mentioned that if you enjoy these styles of games like Forspoken, be sure that you will not regret the experience of this title! Of course, the game has a fast and relatively challenging gameplay that can make it a normal and forgettable experience... Expand

Schon mal spitze.
    Viel besser als das jedoch: der Fun-Factor. Und auf der PS5 ist das einfach nur süchtig machend. Saß Jahre nicht mehr so lustvoll am Controller und hab gehofft die Zeit bleibt stehen. Danke für viel Gaming-Fun
