Atlas Fallen

Our analysis

Combat excellence hampered by technical issues.

Our analysis

A serviceable but ultimately unwieldy experience that fails to execute on its ambitious open-world action-adventure premise. Bland story, half-baked metroidvania systems, and combat framework breakdowns make for an unremarkable title.

Our analysis

A poor action RPG with clunky combat, weak story, and terrible voiceovers. The only redeeming feature is snowboarding on sand, but it's not enough to save an otherwise disastrous game.

Our analysis

A unique action game built around sandboarding and momentum-based combat with solid build-crafting. Every good element comes with caveats—the camera struggles with multi-enemy battles, world navigation feels restrictive, and the story is underwhelming. Fun when systems click but ultimately inconsistent.

Our analysis

A solid hack-and-slash game with enjoyable combat and decent progression systems, but weak story and unmemorable characters. Graphics have visual bugs. Best experienced cooperatively. Reasonable value as a budget title but not compelling at full price.

Our analysis

A competent action-adventure whose standout is its momentum system, a risk-reward gauge that powers up attacks while increasing damage taken, backed by flexible essence-stone builds and a satisfying sand-surfing traversal mechanic. It falls short on originality and content, with derivative storytelling, limited weapons and armor, repetitive wraith enemies lacking variety, no New Game Plus, and texture popping. Solid combat, good visuals, and decent PC performance save it, but it feels overpriced and best picked up on sale.

Our analysis

Atlas Fallen has an intriguing setting and flashy combat, but sloppy execution across all departments—imprecise combat, poorly written story, and empty open world—prevent it from holding together as a cohesive game.
