    Atlas Fallen is a hard game to recommend. Between janky controls and a really rough-feeling platforming system, it feels like it fights you every step of the way.

    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.

    Like the sandy ruins filling its world, the best parts of Atlas Fallen feel buried beneath the same open-world junk you’ve already done in a bunch of other games.

    A disappointment.

    The gameplay while moving and gliding on the sand is good, but in combat it is awful, between the weird camera and the    A disappointment.

    The gameplay while moving and gliding on the sand is good, but in combat it is awful, between the weird camera and the unbearable targeting system not working as you wish 80% of the time. It is also kind of short (not especially a bad thing), but i was expecting a little more than the 12 hours it took me to reach the ending. Finally, the story, cut-scenes and sound effects are quite pathetic (like in a cheap 2000 game). The soundtrack is however pretty nice.

    I understand it is a "little" game made by a little studio, but why the price tag is so high then?    … Full Review »

I finished it in about 10 hours! The sad part is that I payed full price for that game! Lesson learned! Do not preorder games because you liked the trailer!… Full Review »
