Atlas Fallen from developer Deck13 feels like an odd misstep from a studio that felt like it was picking up a lot of momentum with his previous releases. Generic story, world design combat all make for a pretty skippable experience, especially in a year as stacked as this.

@@dankerbell Without over praising the work in Baldurs Gate 3 its comparison with other game’s highlights this issue. I’m not suggesting a movie game just actual dialogue & plot not ripped out of the 1990’s young adult genre or the CW super hero TV sch tic. I’d just like a quality story in a believable world without fan fiction tropes about marrying a princess, saving the world & being the ‘chosen one’ as these cliches are OLD & tired. In gaming, where YOUR interaction, agency & participation, compared to films & books, is SO much higher & with games having comparable budgets, it’s baffling why the narrative creativity is so much lower. Shouldn’t gamers have higher expectations when games are this expensive? It doesn’t have to be a Telltale game to have engaging dialogue & a story aimed at people over 12. Expect more or get less.

I'm trying to find out what Austin is talking about here at 18:28 by searching for a video like that on youtube but, I've come out with nothing of the sort. Can someone please tell me what to put in the search bar to find it? I'm very curious to know what he's talking about

@zikarisg9025 11 месяцев назад

I do disagree here to an extend, this is a good AA game. It is a better version of Forspoken with great traversal and a fun customizable combat loop. It is also not outstaying it's welcome and filling the map with busywork. A classic 7/10 game that might not be worth full price, but on sale absolutely worth it.

You might want to add a section that you you played the game 4months ago... You made a video about "your hands on impress" You also played 5h of the game and liked it... What changed since your hands on demo?

@ryo-kai8587 11 месяцев назад

Sounds like the hands-on was Ralph, and this review is Austin. Regardless, how a game ultimately comes together doesn't always live up to its perceived potential.

@@BROOKLYNBORN1994Not a single part of the game in this review looked or sounded fun to me. I might try it if it ever comes to Gamepass, but I'm definitely not going to spend $60 on a game that I don't think I'll enjoy, especially when there are so many other games I could be playing. It'd be one thing if you just saw a low score and assumed the game was terrible, but Austin made plenty of valid points and backed them up with his experience with the game, so we could make an informed decision (like any good reviewer), so I don't think it's fair to call someone a sheep for not buying it. I'm glad you're enjoying the game, though.

@MR-gm8zh 11 месяцев назад

I almost finished the game and I love it. Sure, it crashed on me like 7 times already, usually after a boss fight and I have to repeat it.. but I love the gauntlet customization, idol system, traversal - double jump and air dash.. lovely! Sure, graphics looks weird, textures dont load, everything pops... but when did we stop playing games for the enjoyment and started rating games solely based on their visuals and technical perfectness? I would definitely recommend the game to my friends - not for the story (ok, voice acting and story itself is terrible), but pure enjoyment of discovering new skills and fighting new monsters :)

I feel like by the time we see a few trailers for new games, many are utterly predictable in terms of reception. Atlas Fallen, Forspoken, and the upcoming Immortals of Aveum all use the exact same formula and all seemed predictably mediocre (we'll see if Immortals completes the trifecta of mediocre magical gauntlet games)

Still bought the game. Most things Austin pointed out are very true. This game will not score high but I play single player games by being as immersed and engrossed in the world as possible. Even with the shitty dialogues I can definitely say that his game world at $50 is 100% better than Forspoken at $70. Giving the AA studio some support because I really liked the animations and style. But definitely recommend this one sale $30 - $35.
