There are references to the Hesperus star scattered throughout the game, such as when Agatha is asked about rumors, and of course the incoherent screen the developers cannot explain that the player receives at the beginning of the game. It does not help that the game's pacing is uniformly terrible. The Mushroom Cult is written like Ayn Rand villains and seems like a parody of Communism, but are also able to be talked down by pointing out to Morozov that their plan will cause a bunch of violence, something the real Communists never hesitated to employ and that critics of Communism - like Ayn Rand - are quick to point out. The problem is that none of this builds up to anything. First you have to get past the endless font of pointless references, and then the tedious wall of dull realistic narration in a game where - per the developers on the Steam forums - you are supposed to be questioning the game's reality. The problem is that, while ATOM is full of words, most of these words are about nothing. ATOM wants to be about something, and the developers were super excited by the RPGCodex review praising ATOM as a deep, literary game. Now, I don't think that Watch Dogs and ATOM are at all similar, but I think ultimately the message of ATOM is very similar. I was watching TehSnakerer's review of Watch Dogs: Legion and he argues that the game is about nothing as Ubisoft doesn't want to actually commit to a position. I have a few closing thoughts on the game and then we're putting this ATOM run in the ground. However, I think I've shown off enough of the game to make it clear that, no, you should not play it and you especially should not buy it. There's a bunch of content we didn't cover, such as Kovalev's quest - which involves you getting parts to fix the car, then he takes it for a joyride, gets ambushed by an old enemy, and dies wrecking the car in the process - or the Peregon elections, where a random dude asks you to discredit the trade and guard Pizzagaters so he can fix the place up. The game hilariously displays a loading screen before the credits.Īnyway, that's ATOM. This is the last, and the game mercifully fades to black. : Drunker stalkers, on the other hand, swear that you helped them rummage through ancient ruins : Mercenaries, on the other hand, claim they saw you with troops, completing unknown objectives in the deadly Wastes : Many people remembered him as a traveling strongman, a good friend to children, and a lover of hard booze, who always called his traveling companions weird nicknames, like "chav" or "bub".įun fact: the Hesperus star is still there if you just let Morozov do his plan. : It's sequel, "Major Hexogen's last battle" didn't fare as well. : The book was critically acclaimed and quickly became a Wasteland bestseller : There, he wrote his first post-war novel, "Travelling with my child" Remember the guy who declared war on Dan, that the mafia sent us to? You probably don't, but he's like, super important, mannnn! I lost a few screenshots here, (although that font is awful) but Fidel got killed by Syoma Voronok. : Trade also became a victim in this fight, and soon only vultures populated the once mighty trade hub : It's people lost their humanity and turned against one another in a desperate and pitiful struggle We never did the Peregon questline so the Pizzagaters are still killing each other. : The monument depicted you and Gozhin, standing on a pedestal, hammer and sickle in hand. : The cheerful citizens even erected a statue in honor of their founders. : Otradnoye turned into a criminal free, cozy town, that attracted honest and hard working folk from all across the Wastes The white font could have been better chosen. I did not miss a screenshot, they drop the last word. If you let the Mushroom Cult do it's thing there's a separate cutscene about how Krasnoznamenny and Otradnoye become part of the hive mind. I believe this changes if you let Alf take over. : As a modern monument to stagnation, this city stopped development, change, growth, choosing stability instead of progress, and clueless, faceless leaders locked inside the impenetrable bunker instead of brave innovators well acquainted with the modern times : Some found new religious orders, some continued helping people on their own, and some. : The long road has finally ended, and now the only thing left is to turn around, and reflect upon the changes your actions have caused to life in the Wastes.
