Atomfall is a surprisingly fantastic open world action adventure game, with a heavy emphasis on exploration. The atmospheric breakout hit from Rebellion of Sniper Elite fame takes players into the picturesque Lake District of the northern English countryside. It's the 1950s, and a strange nuclear experiment has led to an entire valley being quarantined off — you're trapped in with the soldiers and locals, all of whom have gone a bit crazy, if they haven't mutated, that is.
The game is definitively "AA" in budgetary terms, but it's polished where it counts. Great combat, crisp visuals, and an intriguing story carry the game forward. A vast hand-crafted world boasts mountains of exploration opportunities, too. There is, however, one particularly annoying bug on Xbox.
