Atomfall is a detective game. Yes, the post-apolyctic first-person shooter from the Sniper Elite studio feels more like Paradise Killer than Fallout. Rather than ping-ponging between objective markers around a map, Atomfall's story is structured around a series of clues that are organically picked up and tracked as you explore its world. Its quests are nonlinear and you're gently guided to points of interest. From there, it's on you to reference your quest log and put the story of its world together.Atomfall's world might look derivative given how prevalent the post-apocalyptic genre is, but its setting and tone do a lot to differentiate it from its peers. The game takes place five years after the Windscale fire of 1957, a real-world event that happened in the UK and is considered one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. However, Atomfall envisions a world that never properly recovered from that disastrous event. Violent factions have popped up all over England, irradiated monsters roam the wilds, and--of course--there might be a few government conspiracies at play.Swinging the axe in AtomfallWhile this may sound like Fallout England, Atomfall's tone is quite different. The dark, sarcastic humor of the wasteland is mostly replaced with a more grounded take on the genre. Creative Director Ben Fisher really wanted to capture the look and feel of British speculative fiction and science-fiction from the 1950s and 1960s, like Doctor Who and John Wyndham novels. The result feels like a uniquely British take on the post-apocalyptic setting.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Microsoft has lost this console generation to Sony when it comes to pure sales, but according to one analyst, the release of GTA 6 could be a "last hurrah" for the Xbox Series X and S consoles. Rhys Elliott of MIDiA Research said in an interview that, although Sony will emerge as this console generation's victor, Microsoft could benefit substantially from GTA 6's launch in terms of hardware sales, especially of the less expensive Series S console."Like Rockstar's other flagship titles, GTA 6 will hit PlayStation and Xbox before it hits PC. Therefore, it could pay off for Xbox to have a significant Series S push and fire sale to tie in with GTA 6--as one last hurrah for this generation," Elliott told Windows Central. "The marketing team should be banging the drum, highlighting that 'The Series S is the most accessible way to play GTA 6.' A sub-$200 Series S could be an enticing entry point to GTA for cash-strapped consumers, of which there are many, thanks to today's tumultuous economy and cost-of-living crisis."Currently, the 512 GB Xbox Series S is priced at $300, with the 1 TB version going for $350--it's not uncommon to see lower prices, though. Even if those prices hold until GTA 6 launches this year, the Series S would remain the least-expensive console someone could buy to play GTA 6, as the Series X and PS5 are more expensive.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Tripwire Interactive has announced that Killing Floor 3, which had been scheduled to release on March 25, has been delayed to an unspecified date later this year. A number of changes will be made to the game both for the new launch date and afterward.Chief among those changes is a post-release update that will separate perk classes from characters, letting the two be chosen independently. The initial change to tie your class choice to a character proved to be contentious with some fans, mirroring similar complaints about Battlefield 2042's debut with hero-style classes."With the full support of our parent company, Embracer Group, we're working together on a timeline to address many of the common issues players had during the beta, including performance/stability, UI/UX, lighting, and weapon feel," the studio said in a statement. "We can confirm that an update allowing you to independently select your perk class and character is planned for post-release."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nintendo has just added not one, but two amazing Game Boy titles to Switch Online: Mario's Picross and Donkey Kong '94. The former was the introduction to the logic-puzzle genre that seems ubiquitous today but was rare in 1995. Intriguingly enough, the same developer behind Mario's Picross--Jupiter Corp.--has created the Picross S series on Switch.Meanwhile, Donkey Kong '94 begins almost like a remake of the original Donkey Kong arcade game. But from there, the Game Boy title turns into a puzzle-platformer with Mario as the protagonist trying to rescue Pauline. You can see a video showcasing both games in action below.Last week, Nintendo announced it would delist a Switch Online game for the first time ever in Japan. Super Formation Soccer, known as Super Soccer in the US, will leave the subscription service on March 28.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
