I made it 1:37. This game looks awful. I'd rather eat nails.

I finished the first zone and will probably finish the game since I read it’s pretty short. TEMU Fallout so far. The most generic guns imaginable and they only get better quality from rusty to pristine. Skills leave much to be desired and the game is incredibly easy even in the highest difficulty. The AI is worse than the reviews describe. Any somewhat difficult fight can be cheesed easily with a corner. If it wasn’t free on gamepass I would be disappointed to have spent money on it.

Haven't downloaded Atomfall yet but the reviews aren't great. Apparently it's buggy and the combat is meh. Anyone here playing it? I was looking forward to this one.
I downloaded it but haven't played it, as I have been finishing Metaphor.

SkillUp also recommends it.

Will try it this week sometime

I'm going to give it a run this week too. Hope it's better than these reviews. I don't have a lot of faith in gaming journalists.

Just a heads up, the default option for reloading clips is to permanently lose any remaining ammo in the last clip. It’s realistic but I wasn’t expecting it.

It was pretty boring to me but admittedly I’m not a huge gamer at this point. Figured I’d give it a shot since I have gamepass.

You say default method. Does that mean there's an option that lets you turn that off?

Yes, but it has to be selected when choosing the difficulty at the start of the game. I do not see the switch in my current game’s options. It’s called Throw Away Clip.

It may just be for the Intense difficulty, but everybody should be playing on that. I am by no means good at games and this one isn’t challenging at all on Intense. No ammo supply issues after I figured out the clip. Most of my guns don’t have clips, especially at the start of the game.

Found it.

Drops you below intense difficulty, but it is what it is. Losing ammo when reloading is the stupid type of realism no one really wants.

Agreed.

I’m trying to like this but meh. I was very excited for this and Avowed, disappointed by both.

I beat it with 5 of the 6 possible endings. All 6 can be completed in one playthrough with a strategic manual save but I locked myself out of one ending early on. To avoid my mistake, do not tell any NPC the location of the other NPCs when given the dialogue option. Just be vague.
