Atomfall – PC Review
Atomfall has been out for almost two weeks, and I’ve been playing the game quite a bit. You might have checked out our exclusive preview article previously, but now it’s time to do a proper review. So sit back relax as we venture into the North of England and find out just what might have been.
Lead The Way
As with the preview article, I don’t really want to give away too much of the game. I honestly feel that this game is best going in blind, but that’s no good for a video game review. So what I’m going to do is try and keep it as vague as possible. Just talk about some of the mechanics involved in the game. If you want to know anything about the story, then check out the preview article.
Gameplay
Atomfall is a vast game, there are a number of areas that you can explore. Discovery is key in the game, whether that’s a new location or even just a new character who might give you a quest. These quests, though, are called Leads. With your main task being to try and find out whats happened and how to get out of the quarantined area. You need to follow these leads through to the end. Some give you a glimpse into the lives of characters, others lead you onto other quests.

Final Thoughts
So, what do I think of Atomfall in general? It’s bloody brilliant. I’ve enjoyed so much of my time playing through the game and I’ll probably go back and explore some more. Its environments and characters make the world breathe with life. Add a sprinkling of mystery with what happened at the Windscale Nuclear Plant.
