Atomfall reviews and Metacritic scores are in: Here's a roundup of what everyone's saying about this new Game Pass survival game

Atomfall.

We've had quite a few big-name game releases so far in 2025, with long-awaited titles like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and others proving to be very popular with players around the worldwide. Amidst all these major arrivals, though, there's also an single-player indie that looks like it'll have an exciting launch of its own on March 27: Atomfall. Set in the early 1960s in an alternate reality where the 1957 Windscale nuclear disaster covered Great Britain's Lakeland region in deadly radiation, the Xbox, PC, and PlayStation game (it's also coming to Game Pass) challenges players to investigate what happened in the quarantined area while fighting off mutated wildlife, the ranks of a violent cult, military soldiers, and advanced science fiction-style robots.

Atomfall — made by Sniper Elite and Zombie Army developer Rebellion — has garnered quite a bit of interest from fans of franchises with similar premises like Fallout and STALKER, so naturally, lots of folks are curious to see what reviews of the game have to say. Notably, those reviews are now live, with Atomfall achieving a "Generally Favorable" 75/100 Metacritic score and a 74/100 on Opencritic. These ratings come from the average of nearly 40 reviews, quotes from which you can find listed below:
