This is a 10$ bargain bin game. Awful combat, poor platforming. Uninstalled, at least it was free with PC gamepassThis is a $40 game. I doubt they're marketing it as hard as Indiana Jones.

Really good game. Playtime was 17 hours with a decent amount of exploring but still had a bunch of leads I didn't resolve.out of interest, how long was Atomfall and what was your opinion of it in the end?
apologies, everyone else for derailing. Ill bring it back

I'd give it an 8.5/10. The story / mysteries are great, world is great, writing is great. I can't wait for the DLC. I want more of the world to explore.
the world/setting is brilliant.Thanks so much. It's literally set about 40 to 50 miles from where I live, so I want to check it out for sure.

Lol. Well I was trying. I beat Avowed so I was hoping this would be up my alley too but it was immediately clear it wasn't. I'm sure it's a fine game, just not for me, unskipable dialog combined with rambling and slow gameplay turned me off. Going to try Commando's next here.At least you gave it a fair crack…
If anything I thought the start was great - chapter 1 running through that hurricane. But yes, it's annoying that you can't skip lines of dialog (only cutscenes as a whole). I think there are options to speed up the dialog, so people could try that?Lol. Well I was trying. I beat Avowed so I was hoping this would be up my alley too but it was immediately clear it wasn't.

I always felt that Hazel's jumping is, I don't know how to say it, a bit light. It feels like I am controlling a feather. But I got over it. Also, the game really starts only at the third chapter. Last thing, I think you would be able to appreciate it better if you approach it as a story focused adventure first and a platformer second.I did the opening. Not impressed so far. It looks great but it seems that compulsion have good artists but the gameplay is not feeling great early on.
Feels janky. Jumping doesn't feel great. I'll give it another go tomorrow as I'm a bit tired too.l but early impressions are great artwork and style/idea but like other compulsion games. I don't think it feels food to play...and it is a game.
The opening isn't indicative. In fact, Chapters 2 and 3 correspond to the tutorial (combat and platforming) and are less linear environments, inviting you to explore for collectibles and skill points.I did the opening.

Yes it is a gorgeous game.
I didn't collect enough Floof to upgrade everything on my play through![]()
I looked at the achievements list, there's one for getting every single one in the game, lol.
I don't think I'll be 1000G-ing this game at this time, maybe later![]()

I recommend playing through Chapters 2 and 3 (there are 14 chapters) to get a better understanding.
But as mentioned above, only because the art and visuals, the story, and the interesting characters, and it only lasts 11-12 hours... Personally, I'm grateful for a game of this type after several 30+ hour games.
Stick sensitivity by default is far too low.Appreciate the responses guys. I'll stick with it. The game grabbed me straight away and then when I started walking around it felt off. I don't quite understand the camera or if it's an issue with my 8 bitdo ultimate. If I turn the camera with a hard lock to the analogue limit it turns slowly. If I gradually press it and get like half way it suddenly zooms about. I guess it's acceleration I can't turn off?
I'll deffo give it a go to chapter 3 and hopefully it clicks with me![]()
Yeah, up the mouse sensitivity. That's the first thing I had to do when I started it. The default is too low.Appreciate the responses guys. I'll stick with it.

Yeah, she never shuts up. I don't know if there is an in-game setting or not to keep her dialogues down, but she talks A LOT.How old is Hazel supposed to be? Because she looks in her late teens at the youngest, yet she's crying about being left alone by her mum as if she's 6. I've only had enough time to play the first chapter so far but my god she's a whiny irritant off the bat. Hopefully that changes.
The game also suffers with that character talking every single second nonsense. "The voices are getting louder, they must be close". Yeah, I understand how sound works. Just be quiet for 5 seconds and let me soak in the atmosphere.
The game looks absolutely beautiful.
So many fucking negative people here.
It's a new IP and it's a lot of fun. Combat IS good, game looks amazing. Music is amazing. And just because she's mixed, doesn't make it a 'woke' game. Who gives a shit. It has a lot of atmosphere and is very different.
Haters are likely Sony fanboys shitting on yet another MS released game.

I still don't know what the point of the combat is, other than just purely padding the game to make it longer.Finished it. It was a great audio visual experience, but pretty bad as a game. Still enjoyed it, because i like games like this, but i skipped the combat after chapter 11, should've done it earlier, its just a chore at that point. Also the final boss fight was a huge disappointment. Did they run out of creative ideas or what? Characters were great, VA and music and art was top notch
Reminds me of the Prince of Persia game, the one with Elika girl. I really loved the look and traversal in that game but the combat was just a irritating time padder. Luckily the fighting can be turned off SOM.I still don't know what the point of the combat is, other than just purely padding the game to make it longer.

all the fights are in set places so it's not like there are enemies wandering about. From the description in settings it looks like you just can just go to the menu and choose skip in those encounters if you turn it on. Didn't use it myself. The combats is simplistic and easy but I can see people getting bored of it for sure.you can turn off combat in settings?? then you play the game without enemies?
Looking at buying this on my Series X but if fighting can be turned off, then what is the main crux of this game? Does it then become a walking sim with platforming elements?Luckily the fighting can be turned off SOM.
You can turn off the boss fights and chase scenes too. So then it is pretty much just a walking sim. Running from scene to scene. Not worth buying. If you have game pass, then maybe run through it if you're interested in the story.Looking at buying this on my Series X but if fighting can be turned off, then what is the main crux of this game?
