Not a perfect game, but it's just fun

Game doesn't hold your hand every step of the way. It encourages exploration and experimentation. Early on, enemy encounters can be overwhelming but you can use the environment and stealth to your advantage until you eventually acquire better gear and unlock new abilities.

They give you a bit of direction at the start but it's truly up to you the player in how you'll progress through the areas. You'll rack up several "leads" in your investigation and you can choose one to track and follow, or you can just sorta explore and figure shit out as you go, which has been my approach and it's been very enjoyable in the 10 or so hours I've put into it

Not sure how the story is gonna play out. So far it's your typical "post-apocalyptic amnesiac trying to figure out what happened to themselves and the world and people around them" plotline, but the mystery is compelling so far

Bought a bunch of games recently, including AC Shadows, and Atomfall stands out as something of a AA gem imho

Stark contrast from the AAA offerings of AC Shadows... I could barely get through the tutorial in that game. It was a slog playing through the establishing cutscenes and linear opening tutorial sections. Atomfall introduces you to the game and quickly gets you to the meat and potatoes of it all. Wish more games would just get to the fucking point.
