Atlas Fallen is an action role-playing video game developed by Deck13 Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment. The game is set to be released for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and Series S in August 2023.
Atlas Fallen is a third-person action role-playing video game. At the beginning of the game, players can create and customize their own player avatar. The player is equipped with an ancient gauntlet that allows them to manipulate sand. With the gauntlet, players can shape the sand around them into weapons. Players can use three different weapons, though they can only carry two at any given time. Unlike Deck13's previous games, Atlas Fallen is a more traditional action game. Players are required to dodge, counter and block incoming attacks, as well as quickly switching between land and air combat. As players attack enemies, they will gain Momentum. At certain momentum threshold, the weapon the player is currently wielding will transform, and they can unleash a special skill or ability that deals devastating damage to their opponents.

I'm guessing forspoken
This seems like a game that everyone is going to look back on in 5 years when there’s another gaming drought and call it an underrated masterpiece
Like Anthem! …right? 🥺
@@itsJoNada sure buddy just like anthem 🥹
It’s releasing at the wrong time!!! So much competition right now
Just like Mad Max from Avalanche studios
@@maofria1452 exactly the game I was thinking about
Thanks Luke, I was on the fence with buying. I'll wait for a sale. Did the same with Forspoken and the comparisons you've shown are on point. Thanks for saving me from a day 1 full price purchase!
This game is giving me more prototype vibes with the very weighty yet surpringly quick movements.
That's a game I haven't thought about in over a decade. Never payed it but it looked fun.
@@desertxpunkJesus it was so fantastic. When us PC players didn't really have a good spiderman game on PC, it was an absolute breath of fresh air.
It's giving me Darksiders 2. That had similar visual designs just filtered through a different graphical style, some combat similarities and the same kind of mostly barren open world with dungeons spread around.
I see what you mean with the protagonists animation style too, the way they throw their weight around and kind of hang in mid-air.
PROTOTYPE MENTIONED ‼️
Damn, prototype and infamous were baddiessssssss
Who would've thought that 2023 would be the year of the talking bracelet? 🎉
Imagine my shock cuz I've been working on a series with talking jewelry for like a decade lmao
Definitely agree with your assessment about the armor set. I just went with slotting in as many damage dealing stones to make the game fly by too quickly.
Making the prologue long allows them to secure the purchase before players have a chance to form a basic opinion whether or not to refund
I feel like this is a game that would have benefitted from a demo like forspoken. Just something small like an enemy encounter so we could get a feel for combat. I know the demo didn't work in forspoken's favour but considering how hit or miss games have been recently (and their prices), I tend to not purchase games anymore unless they're being lauded as the best thing since sliced bread, or if there's a demo that I enjoyed.
Hearing Luke talk about starfield in a good light was surprising 18:23
Forspoken but less bad
Now it’s about time we get a GOOD Forspoken.
More like darksiders 2
@@crisschan2463that sounds so much better, compare it to something good, not the latest stinker.
Forspoken was way better than this game
@@jelanidoyle I might believe that, if the game causes the Studio to close down.
Final Fantasy 16
Baldur's Gate 3
Armored Core 6
Starfield
Spider-Man 2
And so many more I haven't named but deserve a mention
These few months are packed with heavy hitters. We literally have no time for mediocre
I'll throw in Pikmin 4 and some people like me are still playing Zelda TotK. I feel bad for any AA game releasing around this time. So many great games, so little time.
Final Fantasy 16 was way too easy and the superhero genre is worn to the bone but yes I agree with the other titles
I have time for it, looks fun
@@Doggo-frencton The super hero genre is overused for movies. The games still have a huge market since you actually get to play as one. Spider-Man is literally one of the top Playstation sellers lol
Starfield heavy hitter.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Talking about mediocrity
This game and Immortals of Aveum look to be absolute gems, just like Forspoken was.
The irony is strong with this one
oof
Unpopular opinion, but being a better Forspoken would be an actually pretty good game. Forspoken's major problems were its characters and world immersion, if you topple and make it more fun than that's just a pretty neat game overall.
@@hiddenleafdrip3869true. I really loved Forspoken’s gameplay system. The movement was fluid and the spells tied perfectly.
Sadly the shitty writing and dogshit optimization killed the game. Sucks because I would argue that in terms of combat, Forspoken is one of the best of 2023z
@@homiej8163and the incredibly shallow and bloated open world design.
I smell Forspoken.
@@Evanz111Respectfully, I know you're not saying Forespoken was a good game lol. If you like it that's fine but it was sub-par at best.
It’s not, it’s very good in my opinion, stop comparing every game and maybe you’ll enjoy stuff in life more
Came to say this lmao
@@Evanz111gameplay was cool and all but only having good gameplay still isn't that impressive
Considering most games these days are live service garbage, I appreciate Forspoken and this game at least existing
The moment I saw that jump animation, it was definitely Foreskining. Also, the axe animations remind me a lot of God of War.
Looks like it has the potential to be pretty fun but Idk, not sold on it.
Maybe I'll get it on sale.
Definitely reminds me of forspoken a bit
I think _cringe_ is when emotion felt by the audience is dissonant with the emotion expressed by an earnest character.
Keep up the great work Luke Thank you for inspiring me in every video :)
It's going to be like The Surge series. Underrated, amazing games that got lost in the Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield releases.
This is the exact type of game that will be on sale a month after release. I'll get it then
agreed. except for the part where you buy the game.
I was getting Godfall vibes
Ouch!
Oof. I think it's better than godfall.
Hi, I discovered your channel a few months ago and want you to know you’ve helped me get through the rough time I’ve been having. Three weeks ago I had back surgery. Tomorrow, my dad goes in for surgery to have a cancerous mass removed from his lung. Then my mom has to have knee surgery. I want you to know your videos are appreciated, and very entertaining.
As a random person on the internet, best wishes to you and your parents for the surgeries and recovery.
@@jurtheorc8117 thank you it’s very much appreciated.
@@jurtheorc8117 My dad’s surgery went very well and he’s sleeping like a baby right now.
If i had 60 bucks right now, ill buy the game, everything here is what im into
Did you get the game? How is it?
Does it remind you of Forspoken?
It reminds us like 99 of 100 modern generic open world grindfest boring ass games with horrible battle feedback and dumb AI enemies.
@@J0rdan912true and sad 😢
Elden Ring and Balder’s Gate 3 are making the rest of the gaming industry look BAD. 😂
Bad? They make the rest of industry looks and feels incompetent!
I am excited to see what you have to say about baulders gate 3 and starfield
And sea of stars. Looks like a masterpiece
And I liked my own comments. 👍
Except the last one...
You’re using the “jack of all trades” quote wrong. The full quote implies that it’s actually better to be a jack of all trades than to be a master of one
It's Forspoken. The game you wish you could forget.
My first thought too
I will be waiting for a sale. Thank you Mr. Stephens!
Hopefully "Gauntlet" is better than "Cuff"
That talking cuff game. The “I moved shit with my mind” shit game. Lol
Is that game part of this remind you of by chance "Forspoken?"
For $50, I’d say this game is more worth it than most triple A $60-$70 games on the market right now. No live service dog crap. No stupid, scummy monetization. Actually functions. Doesn’t feel like it desperately needs more time to bake in the oven. Looks good. Feels like a game from the mid to late 2000s and early 2010s.
my most hours playing on one sitting is 18h on witcher 2 the story just hooked me so good i could not put it down
THE WORLD DESIGN !!
Pro: - Graphics, overall very good looking world and characters, armor, monster etc..
- Interesting Battle Mechanics - looks smooth and interesting
- COOP we dont have COOP games and thats sad and this game has it !
Con: - UI again Dragon Age 2 Style that we all hate.. modern no life style UI ( also in FF16 :/ )
- Great but Empty open world
- AA Story and side quests ( not that side quests from ubisoft are better xD 100000000 side stuff but no life in it but this game is more lack luster in them )
Let’s normalize cheaper games. Something like this needs to be about $30
Give it a month. 😁
@@markhettenbach3141yeah idk why anyone buys any game at full price. You asking to be disappointed. And getting it on sale normally mean later so it’s actually patched and not broke
I've watched reviews from soo many ppl but none I can trust and rely on like this guy he is the best mother father game reviewer on youtube
rare to see a western dev do an action game with actually decent combat
this one was sorely needed now that ubisoft cancelled the sequel to the one decent game they cooked in the past decade
the major complaints ive heard is that there is little story and characters and that the gameplay is the best part
which only means one thing, this game is a banger
Hey Luke there was a big overhaul for the game that changed a lot if it
Think your the only who got the impression of this game being like monstet hunter
Saw it in a thumbnail, too. I guess it's just cause of the multiple hit zones on some big guys.
It's on sale right now for $19.99, worth it at this price.
Open worlds are so played out. Everybody wants to have an open world but they dont want to put in the work to make the world feel alive. They want to build a giant map throw a bunch of collectibles there and call it a day. There are very few good open world games that I can think of. RDR2, GTA5, Ghost of Tsushima is pretty decent. What others am i missing?
That hidden gem game noone talks about. Elder stars or something like that I think 🤔
@@Konfide4043
You're probably thinking of Youthful Loop.
@JeanLucPicard85 that's the one 👌
It's not technically an open world. The world is split up between 4 different regional maps, which you can travel back and forth via the Anvil. They're just very big. A little too empty for my tastes though.
@@Eternal-CMO Youthful Loop has 5 areas bro, are we talking about the same game?
I'm getting Immortals Fenix Rising vibes for the combat.
Forspoken i felt
A skeptical review! A skeptical review. A skeptical review. We know what skeptical is but I never knew it could be an entire brand.
So... it's a better and shorter Forespoken(like)?🤔
When I see that tight red shirt pop up in my RUclips feed, I know I’m in for a good time.
Thank you for your thoughtful reviews that aren’t just generic and bland like a lot of the main stream review channels. Your reviews are more like a small video essay.
U hit the nail in the head, with this review
I agree with everything that you said 👌🏾
I don't understand why they feel the need to price it at $50. If its only going to last 10-15 hours, they should put it at a lower price like $30, or even $25. Then people wouldn't feel entirely ripped off at least.
Do you know how expensive it is to develop a game?
@@nastykash9557 Honestly I think they'd turn an even bigger profit by doing what I said. I think at a $50 price point, most people will think '$50 for 12 hours? nah', but if they price it at $30, I'd imagine a lot more people would buy it because the price to game time ratio is a lot more reasonable, therefore they make more money due to more sales
You can't justify a game's price just on game length. I've had some excellent game experiences around the 10hr mark and paid full price. Game length doesn't mean a good game. Look at AC and how bloated it is. The game becomes a drag after 20hrs.
@@sharpkatana1178 I fully agree, so long as the game actually has a lasting impact on you. Some of my top 10 games of all time are 5 hours or less. This game doesn't seem to fit that category, it seems like a 'play once and forget' kind of game.
@@sharpkatana1178i only play games i can put 50 plus hours in. If its 15 hrs its not worth it for me.
Luke in 6 years: in defense of Atlas Fallen..
Skiing across sand dunes looks pretty doap, at least.
10:40
Game designers, you can let us have BOTH.
@13:00 ah I see they've pulled a "Destiny".
I'm just happy it's not a soulslike
Forspoken is a game i would draw comparison from visually
Final Fantasy 16 when
I have never even heard of this game until I just saw a couple videos on youtube pop up about it. Did they have any marketing lmao?
Prob not even budget to do so 😅, most likely Also why they didn't put much variety into the enemy design and environmental design and content
13:40 you did show a portion of the final boss fight in the video…
A game from my fellow germans. I just have to support it. The German dub is also superb and probably even better than the English one this time.
I dunno i have a little rule, 10 dollars per hour, so if buy a game for 70 dollars i expect or want to atleast get 70 hours of gameplay, having about 30 hours of gameplay to 100% the game dosnt make the cost sound worth it to me anyway
Forsaken
Update: I was right Forspoken. I knew what I meant
Looks cool. I’ll wait for 50% off lol
I feel like the reminder is Forspoken
Maybe I'll try it when it goes on sale at 50% or something
FFXVI vid when
Never heard of this game but im guessing it reminded of Anthem or Forespoken
Forspoken 2.0….. ??
The game you wish you could forget is Forespoken, or maybe Godfall.
Forspoken was actually fun. Godfall should be destroyed
@@bombyo3634 Forspoken was shit too, with one of the most insufferable, unlikable most annoying character in any game. The traversal was kinda fun but you get some many of those cool spells so late into the game that at that point, you can’t even properly utilize them because then the game is almost over. The writing, characters, story, world and gameplay were all generic and boring.
@@lenarmangum8630 hey if you beat it and dont like it thats fine. Its my favorite game on ps5 thats a timed exclusive. Story, lor, music, the different landscapes and powers was more thrn i hope for good. I got 80 hrs in that game and couldn't put it down.
commented at 1:20 - 100% the game is Forspoken right???!!!
2:41 - yay i was right!!!
I'm still skeptical on the skepticality of your skeptical review
Reminds me of darksiders a bit 🤔
This game reminds me of the PS2 or x360 era
Flawed but decent and kinda fun. Wish it was more polished but id take this than AAA garbage like Forspoken or Saintrow
He's obviously talking about "Hello Kitty Island Adventure"...
Thanks, Luke!
I appreciate you and the review. 😊
I'm paused for the Q:
A: *FORESPOKEN* !
shame.. this could have been the next Darksiders 2.. I'm still gonna pick it up from sale in some point in the future..
Once I saw the movement and empty landscape, I thought of Forspoken.... not a good game to similar to
Is it more like darksiders if so I’m down
wholesome ending. I appreciate your videos !
Is there transmog?
Hmmmmm yeah this game looked like it was going to be underwhelming, especially in the face of an exciting few months. This game ahould have released early July or early April where few other notable games were being released
I’m gonna guess either forsaken or outriders
Edit: Sorry meant Forspoken
At minute 1:05 I'm guessing Vallaha
i feel bad for the devs for making a game and just compared to forpoken. just because its sandy.
"As i mentioned at the top..." we are not reading your script my man 😂
I think the game you're talking about at the start is Forspoken lmao
The pop-in is awful. It's a deal breaker. It destroys immersion.
I like your skeptical reviews. Also I want to make clear because skeptics are often maligned as cynics. Those are 2 different things. A skeptic gives good reasons for their opinions, they justify them well, a cynic reflexively assumes everything is bad and doesn't give good reasons for their views.
Great game. Really enjoying it.
Wait for spoken 2 is out already haha atleast this game didn't have the Gul to charge 70 for itself
Giving me KOA vibes
I dig it
Saying this game is a better Forspoken is like saying shitting all over your bedroom floor is okay because at least you didn't shit your bed.. I'll pass on this for now, lol.
Forsaken, oh forspoken..I had forgot
This game is much closer to darksiders 2 than forspoken
ds 2 was lit
@@LtLeisureforce indeed
People should look into the game as close to darksiders than foreskin lmao
Forsposiders
I know it's your job to play & review other games, but I don't understand how anyone is playing anything other than baldur's gate 3 right now
I don't use the word cringe, but let me try to define it.
The feeling of awkwardness that is opposite of meme as a comedy.
Surge devs back at it again with more mid games
mid>bad
@@thefebo8987 Truth!
@@lum1notryc828Time is valuable. It’s not worth playing mediocre games when you could be playing much better games, cheaper ones at that.
Mid tier is fine for 15-20 bucks. I'll pick it up then. At least the character isn't cringe.
0:45 Forspoken?
I'm enjoying this game pretty much and don't understand why you keep repeating the 12 hours for the main campaign
Man, i spent more than 15 to complete the first map.
I don't understand people who complain about price/hours of main campaign only.
Why not taking into account the side quests hours?
its Sand Forspoken
Im thinking Anthem. Lets see if im right
Edit: Welp i was extremely off
