Why should I read this?
Short and snappy — if you liked Atomfall’s stealth/action mix, this DLC gives you more places to sneak, shoot and find endings. If you’re on the fence, it’s a tidy expansion that adds weapons, bosses and a creepy new facility without messing up the base game. We skimmed the press release so you don’t have to.
Author style
Punchy: New area, new nasties, new endings. Worth a look if Atomfall hooked you — and handy merch if you’re fancying a bit of post‑apocalyptic fashion.
