Atlas Fallen Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Atlas Fallen isn’t a game that will push the action RPG genre forward, but it's so much fun to play it doesn't really matter anyway.
Exploring the beautiful landscape of Atlas Fallen is almost good enough to distract from its competent combat and generic story.
A fun, albeit forgettable journey into the sands.
While Atlas Fallen is a perfectly fine game, fine doesn't quite cut it in 2023. If you're dying to hunt down Wraiths, wait for a discount first.
Atlas Fallen’s momentum focused combat makes this open world action RPG shine like a gem in the desert but poor writing and acting tarnish its quality.
Atlas Fallen layers interesting and engaging combat systems onto a lacklustre world and frustrating camera controls making for an uneven and forgettable fantasy action outing. Deck13 continues its work of innovating the genre in interesting ways but there’s just a little too much going on for Atlas Fallen to ever find solid ground.
In a year packed with large releases, Atlas Fallen got buried by the competition. But is there actually something to this little, overlooked game?
Atlas Fallen has some really interesting ideas, but poor execution of those results in a truly flawed product.
Surf the sands to fight a god in Atlas Fallen — for better or worse.
Atlas Fallen is the latest to enter into a crowded space of “open-world action games with a twist”, coming from developer Deck13 Interactive who you might be familiar with from their sci-fi Souls-like foray, The Surge. Trading hardcore slicing of robots and post-apocalyptic cities for a gigantic fantasy desert setting with legendary creatures and ancient dangers, Atlas Fallen boasts a cooperative adventure where you can glide through sand dunes, take down massive beasts with clever combat...
Atlas Fallen had promise, but nothing that this game strives to accomplish ever lands very well or feels fully realized. Between a lackluster story filled with generic and soulless voice acting and a combat system that loses its momentum well before the credits roll, there is rarely a moment where this game feels memorable or worth the time to finish. There is some good stuff on the surface of Deck13’s new IP, with its beautiful vistas and interesting world-building and aesthetic, but digging past the surface of Atlas Fallen shows that it is mostly hollow underneath.
Atlas Fallen delivers when it comes to an entertaining gameplay experience but falls short in a few other aspects.
