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.

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.

@@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.

Really liked this review as actually gives reasons and footage of what you are talking about. Compare that to IGN talking about co-op all the time and barely pointing out any of these issues about from texture pop in. Feels like they were handed a way to try and sell it....

So happy to see another entry in the BCG Type category. Hopefully the Band Cuff Gauntlet genre will catch on and become as popular as the Souls Like and the ARPG. I am looking forward to the MMOBCGARPG.

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?

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.

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)
