Eastward is an enthralling post-apocalyptic RPG that allows you to play as two unlikely heroes, John and Sam, on a mission to redeem themselves. The game's stunning visuals, captivating story, and simple yet enjoyable combat mechanics make it an RPG worth playing. The mini-games, interesting NPCs, and cooking mechanics all contribute to the game's depth and replayability. However, the absence of a chapter select option and repeated play-throughs can be a downside. Nevertheless, Eastward is a fantastic RPG that should be on every RPG lover's list.


What we like:
  • Simple yet enjoyable combat mechanics
  • Interesting NPCs and mini-games
  • Well-integrated cooking mechanics
  • Stunning visuals
  • Captivating storyline
What could be improved:
  • No chapter select option
  • Lack of variety on repeated play-throughs
  • Lots of cutscenes
  • Precision aiming can be challenging

Atom RPG is an old school post-apocalyptic game set in Russia. The character creation is reminiscent of games like Fallout, with skills, stats and traits that affect the game's difficulty. Combat is turn-based and action point based, while crafting gives players the chance to create objects using various pieces of rubbish found in the wasteland. There are plenty of NPCs with their own stories, as well as a main storyline to follow.


What we like:
  • Rich character customization options
  • Turn-based combat system
  • Variety of NPCs with stories
  • Crafting system based on scavenging for resources
  • Main storyline and side quests
What could be improved:
  • Aiming at body parts rarely has an effect
  • Speechcraft skills are essential for success in some situations
  • Some NPCs have more personality than others
