Atlas Fallen

Frey had super speed thanks to the cuff. Here u don’t have super speed, u have sand sliding (which works the same, 90% of the terrain is sand)… meaning u have super speed but on sand – very innovative. Combat is clunky as hell, and it comes from me – a dude that is in love with Piranha Bytes games (Gothic, Risen, Elex) and even I found it to clunky for my liking. Some sounds are straight up missing, you execute the attack and there is complete silence. It feels like some audio files are just missing. Framerate on RTX3060 is also not stable. Setting stuff to High (not even Very High) causes frame drops. On DX12 it falls to 45. On Vulkan – every framerate indicator shows 60, but you can see the game stutters and looks like it lands below 30 at times. Despite lacking in a handful of key areas, – some of which may or may not be dealbreakers to some people, – the gameplay itself is thought out and well executed. The last time I experienced such enjoyable movement and combat mechanics were in Spider-Man on PlayStation. Atlas Fallen is not exactly a Game of the Year contender and it certainly has flaws, but it’s got plenty of entertainment and definitely deserves praise.
