Watch Now: ‘Atomfall’ Gameplay in Our Let’s Play Video

Atomfall is the latest attempt by Rebellion Developments (Sniper Elite, Zombie Army) to blend survival mechanics with post-apocalyptic storytelling, and it does so in a distinctly British fashion. From sipping Earl Grey to scavenging in the Lake District, the game is full of unique cultural touches that set it apart from your typical survival titles. However, is it worth your time? Our newest Let’s Play on YouTube dives headfirst into Atomfall to uncover the good, the frustrating, and everything in between.

One of the game’s standout features is its semi-open world. Though players explore interconnected maps rather than one massive open expanse, the game encourages curiosity and methodical exploration. Plenty keeps you engaged whether you’re tracking down cryptic coordinates or unraveling mini-mysteries. Those hoping for the unbounded freedom of true open-world titles may find themselves disappointed.

A step in the right direction for the developer?

Atomfall’s survival gameplay can be genuinely tense, as resources are limited and crafting is crucial. But once combat ensues, the cracks start to show. Reports of inconsistent enemy AI and clunky weapon handling sometimes make survival feel more punishing than rewarding. Even so, moments like crafting an improvised weapon from scavenged junk remind players why survival games can be so compelling.

While Atomfall shines with its atmospheric British setting, the narrative falls flat, leaving players disconnected from the stakes. Despite its issues, it’s hard not to be intrigued by this ambitious mix of survival gameplay and quirky charm. If you hoped for a Cottagecore variant of Fallout, this is not it, but maybe you can still enjoy it as what it is.

Curious to see how it fares? Our Let’s Play dives deep into Atomfall’s gripping (and grating) moments. Watch the video below to explore its highs, lows, and everything in between. Whether you end up a fan or critic, there’s no denying Atomfall is an experience worth dissecting.
