I am big fan of classic Fallout games and I was excited when my friend recommended me this game. I played Atom RPG from start to finish, I have done most of the sidequests and I finished main quest with more than one ending. I will start with good things about the game: - Despite having a little bit older PC (i5 4670K, GeForce 980 GTX, 16 GB RAM) game worked smoothly on maximum details without any frame skipping. It only crashed once during my 43 hours of play time. - I liked the atmosphere of the game. We did not play as some typical chosen one hero but a regular soldier who was sent on a mission by a secret organisation in post-apocalytpic world. - NPCs felt alive and unique. I really liked the idea of giving each one a portrait to better represent them. - Combat system was the same as in classic Fallout games. Companion AI was on a level where it did not felt frustrating fighting together with them. It made fights enjoyable. - I like the gameplay feature to switch between regular and isometric view. What are the bad things? - Level scaling for weapons and armor prevented your character from finding good inventory. Basically there was not much point of exploring a pre-war bunker if you knew that you are not going to find anything useful apart of some health restoring items and tinkering materials. - Bunkers and other underground "dungeons" were really big, but not that interesting. Again this was partially caused by lack of good rewards due to level scaling. Having a higher level weapon or armor at the end of the location could be a nice reward for exploration. Instead it was quite tedious. - Tinkering skill was rarely useful. Mainly because hand crafted weapons had a 10% chance to break when used. - Repeating dialogs with NPCs, the so called "four questions". - Names of the NPCs could be shown without NPC telling us their name. I know it is not realistic, but could help a lot when looking for them. Especially since not all of them share this information.
