Atomfall let me bash a man's head in with a cricket bat while he was having a wee and I think I love it


Eurogamer plays 90 minutes of Atomfall, and as first impressions go, this is a very different - and brilliant - kind of British Fallout.

| Image credit: Rebellion As I searched for the village I found hidden comic books, dug up caches of loot thanks to my trusty metal detector, got scared by a big, brutalistic tower that activated a blaring alarm when I got close, and I even battered some bloodthirsty leeches with my cricket bat when they attacked me as I paddled in a nearby lake. It was a proper adventure in the English countryside that made me remember my glorious childhood days in the Oxfordshire village of Garsington, where my friends and I would wander around fields playing army or hide in old cattle sheds from imaginary zombies. There’s humour, heart and personality by the bucketload, and a fantastically realised world to explore that manages to perfectly capture the peculiarities of intricacies of English village life, seamlessly mixing it with a mysterious sci-fi story that constantly surprises and delights.
