I 100% completed Atomfall — and after spending nearly 40 hours exploring the quarantine zone, I wanted to talk about how it actually felt to play.

Atomfall is an exploration-focused open-world game set in a mysterious quarantine zone surrounding a nuclear power plant. Instead of constantly telling you where to go, the game encourages you to explore, follow clues, talk to characters, and figure out for yourself what happened and who you can trust.

If it sounds familiar to Fallout 3 or Fallout 4, it is pretty close, at least from the exploration intrigue perspective.

In this review, I’ll go through the story, exploration, world, combat, DLC, and what it’s actually like to 100% the game — including the things that worked for me and the rough edges that held it back.

If you’re curious about Atomfall, or wondering whether it’s worth playing, this is my full 100% review.
