Sad bc this looks really good to me, but it's had bad coverage and is releasing at a shit time. They should have never delayed. I can't fit it in between Remnant 2, Armored core, Starfield, and Lords of the fallen

Give a solid 73. It'll be good enough, but will fly under people's radar due to the number of good games released lately. It doesn't help that Deck13 did a bad job marketing this. It doesn't look like a bad game, just uninspired.

I agree about the release date, right now is not a good time to be competing for the players money
Game Pass baby!

Rarely a good sign
low 70's or high 60's score incoming.
Numbers don't matter. Pros and Cons all day.

Man, going to the official page of the game is quite sad
www.deck13.com
There is literally a single trailer and 3 pictures with two or three lines of description about what the game is about.

That's the developer's portfolio page. This is the official website for the game itself: https://www.focus-entmt.com/en/games/atlas-fallenMan, going to the official page of the game is quite sad

I was more thinking, these are all new IP for this generation where we reacted like “uh I don’t know what this is but it looks kind of bad…. But maybe it’ll be OK? But it’s probably going to be bad….. yeah it’s bad”

Thanks for that one.

I play KoA when is came out for free and it's addicting. Something about that pixie forest with elves and little cottages got me hooked. And all of the side quests have awesome characters too.
This doesn't exactly give me the same vibes other than some of the combat and the fancy armor. But maybe sometime I'll try this one.

Atlas... Who?
They do for investors though. :/
Personally I'll give this a try. Find the shown gameplay interesting enough.

Looks like Forspoken 1.5 if I'm honest.

Instead of making what they were improving, such as souls games because both Surge games were good, they decided to make some generic coop hack and slash and placed its release date between starfield and baldurs gate 3. They shot themselves in the foot.

Kind of?
Both are dead series.
Pitfall?
Anyways, I think this looks fun. It's on my wishlist, I don't typically care for desert themes in games, and this looks like it's one big ass desert.

I got star ocean, valkyrie elysium and tales of arise when they became dirt cheap.
I'll probably do the same with this.

My disc arrived today. A small 3gb ish patch on Xbox.
You need to restart the game to change performance/quality.

Never a good sign when you get compared to Forspoken. It does look like the bastard child of Forspoken and Kingdoms of Amalur, set in the sandy areas from Blue Dragon.
I have it in my wishlist but I have the feeling it's going to come and go without much fanfare.

The game was originally supposed to be released on May 16. I bet they thought the game would get no publicity so soon after the release of Hogwarts's Legacy and Zelda and therefore picked the new date.

Really? I haven't seen any previews of this game at all. Your comparison is going to make me look at it now

I'm curious about this title but not at launch. I was pleasantly surprised with their prior efforts with The Surge 1 and 2.

This doesn’t look too bad at all. Definitely keeping my eyes on it but have waaaay too much to play and BG3 is all I want to play right now.

Another game I was very interested and would buy 2 copies day one... But without crossplay it just goes into the "wait until it's under $10 or on PS+ pile", along with Remnant II.
Releasing a game that has a heavy focus on multiplayer without crossplay has to be the dumbest decision a developer can make in 2023.

There was only a couple previews(all the same footage) about 4 months ago. It primarily gives me Darksiders 2 vibes mixed in with Kingdoms of Amalur.
Might be another sleeper hit. Marketing overall seems poor.
I'll probably check it out tomorrow. I did find this though so it might give a good idea on what the game is about.

I'm curious about it since I liked The Surge (very much) and the sequel (not as much, but still good), but I've been on the fence since Fextralifes impression, which was pretty lukewarm. It's also strange how little noise this game is getting. I think it will drop in price very quickly. Maybe it's a bonafide sleeper hit, who knows.

Arktix just published his second video on Atlas Fallen. This guy produces tactics/play guides and deserves many more subscribers than he currently has (which is only 57K).

You have to love how the developers put a time map together as though people are eagerly anticipating this release XD!! Apparently they're the same studio who put out Lords Of The Fallen which was derided as a Dark Souls knockoff....crickets?
If you have an Xbox, it'll be available at 7am EST using the NZ trick. If you're on PC, you can play at 6pm EST later today. I for one think it looks like a fun video gamey video game. I know there's a million games out there and more coming but thought I'd remind people this exists lol

My review
Rated it a buy but barely and also based on a slightly reduced price. Moreso, though on a fantastic and just plain fun combat system. However, mid to late game can drag. I dont know how many who are covering it got there or what they experienced but its a bit like a RPG with some grind and due to slightly lower than normal enemy variety it hurt it.
