What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I loved the writing, characters and locations.
+ Gameplay feels like the old Fallout franchise.
They've done a good job in making this feel like a early Fallout release, I haven't long played an early Fallout game so it's still fresh in the mind to how the visuals were and how the game was set out and I can say this easily beats what they did many years ago (And so they should considering how long it's been), sure ATOM has it's faults but nothing too serious to give it a thumbs down.
HUD has little improvements over the first one, still resembling Fallout, well if it's not damaged don't replace it - right.
Companions are written better this time, and while there’s still no voice acting (same as the base game), the dialogue feels sharper.
- Controller & Steam Deck: don't bother.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
