International gaming press has unveiled their final previews for Atomfall, Rebellion's upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG—the minds behind the Sniper Elite series. Reviewers were consistently impressed, highlighting Atomfall's masterful blend of familiar Bethesda-esque elements with a distinctly unique identity.

Critics describe Atomfall as a distinctly British take on the Fallout formula. Survival mechanics are central, alongside a diverse arsenal of weaponry and a compelling roster of enemies, including cultists, robots, and mutants. The narrative is further enriched by non-linear quests and an engaging dialogue system that adds significant depth.

Exploration is paramount in Atomfall. The protagonist's unfamiliarity with the ravaged landscape necessitates reliance on NPCs and tools like metal detectors to uncover the secrets hidden within the environment. Journalists lauded the game's emphasis on environmental storytelling and the rewarding nature of these hidden discoveries.

A surprising element noted by reviewers is the unreliability of firearms. Players will frequently encounter shotguns with limited ammunition, abandoned by farmers or bandits. This necessitates a reliance on melee weapons and bows as crucial survival tools, adding a layer of strategic depth to combat encounters.

Set in the aftermath of a 1962 nuclear disaster at the Windscale power plant in northern England, Atomfall unfolds within a vast and dangerous exclusion zone brimming with intrigue.

Atomfall launches March 27th for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one.
