Atomfall, the next game from prolific British developer Rebellion, is almost here. From the brilliant minds behind the often-overlooked and reliably fun Sniper Elite series comes a unique take on a familiar video game setup, one that seems destined to become gaming’s next big cult hit.
Atomfall is a single-player first-person RPG survival game with a focus on player immersion. While its premise may remind players of Bethesda’s own post-apocalyptic RPG (especially after last year’s excellent fan project set in London) Atomfall seems to take more cues from something like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 or 4A Games’ Metro series. It’s light on the handholding, requiring players to pay attention and explore their environment to make progress rather than follow an endless string of map markers. And they’ll have to leverage their crafting skills, manage their equipment, and make crucial decisions about where they stand in the region’s broader conflicts.
