Once I build out a network of settlements, I find myself taking screenshots of different neighborhoods. I personally really love "grimbrown" visuals of this game. There are some high-level story/exploration elements, but they are minimal. The raider mechanic is abstract I generally disable it as I am into the "classical" simcity school of city building. For example, the leader mechanic feels like it could have had a bigger impact on the game. One weakness of the game is that many of the more novel mechanics aren't fully fleshed out. allowing homosexuality, level of brutality of the police/judicial system) are not a new thing for base-builders these days, it was somewhat new in 2018. Your town leader is accessible in 3rd person and plays a significant role (particularly in the early game), resource gathering is slow and methodological, research is based on production of batteries.

I would argue the strongest element of this game are the various novel gameplay mechanics. 6 Comments on Atomic Blonde Review Now I’ve heard many people complain about this film based on the fact they cannot buy a 130-pound woman beating up men 3x her size, while I do agree to a degree, I'll leave the science of this film to people like Steven Crowder. Note that this is more of a city-builder than a base-builder. This is not a bad thing mind you, especially if you are into city-builders and post-apocalyptic aesthetic. Over the past ~3 years, they have improved replayability somewhat and added new gameplay features, but the core is largely a refined version of the EA release. The original EA release had a solid core, but you could feel it needed to be fleshed out and replayability needed to be improved. I played the hell out of the original EA release as I had always wanted to actually build the cities that I trawled through in Fallout 1/2. Back then the post-apocalyptic city-builder subgenre had a lot less competition. I originally tried AS back when it entered early access in late 2018.
