MY FALLOUT WITH ATOM
A videogame is a conjunction of many artforms put together in the creation of a single piece that can, arguably, be experienced deeper and more individually than any other medium allows. It doesn't stop there. A videogame is a feat of engineering too, which is why they are so difficult to make and so laudable the efforts of those who do. Therefore, a game should be reviewed not only as an entertainment piece of media or an artistic accomplishment, but as a technological product too. This text is a review of that last aspect. ATOM can't be judged via vicarious experience from screenshots, videos or proxy anecdotes. A number of stars can't be allotted to the merit of the intentions of the developers. Nor by how difficult it was to devise. For ATOM to be the fun multi-disciplinary experience it aims to be, and appraised on those terms, first it has to work. I purchased it on release day and I installed it just as quick. After 4 months of waiting for a version of the game that would finally work on my computer and of following every advice I could find and think of, ATOM is still no more than a few sequences of gameplay and every possible kind of technical defect available. Distorted visuals, crashes, freezes, scripts that won't launch, etc, I've had them all. The longest I have ever played the game has been 12 minutes and with the newest update (1.085) much less than that. My computer, of course, meets effortlessly all the minimum requirements posted. Not being able to experience the game at all is no less an experience of the game, quite the opposite, it is a very eloquent one in regards of the focus of this review. The main value of this text is what it is not: A full experience of a functional playthrough. ATOM has never ever worked for me. There's a chance, albeit small, it may not work for you either. I think I waited long enough for things to evolve, patches to be implemented and solutions to be found to make this warning a fair one.
