When Atlas was first announced, my expectations were sky-high just like everyone else who thought we were getting Ark Survival but on the ocean. We all thought Snail games would deliver a decent product. The trailers, the promises, the scale – it all looked like the ultimate pirate survival sandbox. But once the game actually launched, reality hit pretty hard, and most of us ended up disappointed. The very first thing that started killing the excitement was the claim system. Whoever got there first basically won, gaining ridiculous advantage over everyone else, and it set the tone for how unfair and unbalanced the whole experience felt. Instead of competition, it felt like punishment for anyone who didn’t no-live the game from day one.
Then came the part nobody warned us about – the endless hours spent at sea, doing nothing but staring at waves and waiting to get somewhere. Traveling wasn’t adventurous or exciting, it was slow, boring, and against the idea of having fun in a survival game. I still remember how you would just hug the grid border and just swap between grids if needed. When a huge chunk of gameplay is literally watching water while hoping no storms, ghost ships, or other nonsense wastes even more time, it becomes pretty clear something went wrong in the design stage. I kept trying to find something positive to latch onto, but every time i remembered the sailing, the waiting, the wasted time, i lost all motivation to return.
I know some people stuck around. A few of my friends kept playing through wipes, updates, and resets, and even revisited the game years later. So instead of calling it terrible, I’ll just leave my review neutral because clearly there are players who managed to enjoy it in ways i never could. For me, it was just that first wipe after release and then i was done. i thought about coming back several times, but every time i imagined jumping from island to island and staring at that endless sea again, i backed out. Atlas could’ve been something great, but for me, it never even came close. Shame on you Snail Games USA….
This game is a game designed by the makers of ARK: Survival Evolved! This game called Atlas gives you a lot of freedom. You can build a house as you wish by making an ax and cutting down trees, mowing grass with a hoe, and pruning trees with a pickaxe. In fact, if these are too difficult for you, you can increase your collecting ability from your skill tree and collect more items. If even this seems difficult, you can improve your equipment at the blacksmith’s workbench. Moreover, if you think that even this is not enough, I need more, the game also provides you with the opportunity to train animals. There are many kinds of animals and each animal has a feature. For example: Bears collect grass and fruits from the ground, elephants collect trees, giraffes collect hay (leaves), rhinos collect stones… You can gain tremendous building power with animals that have such features. Moreover, now I come to the main event of the game.
There are 4 warships you can build in the game. These; sloop, schooner, brigantine, galleon. The largest and most powerful among them is the galleon. The brigantine has the best maneuverability. The schooner is the most mobile, and the sloop is the most mobile. These ships also have sails and they are; speed sail, control sail, gravity sail. The speed sail allows you to go incredibly fast if you get the best wind, the control sail allows you to turn more easily and stop and take off faster, and the gravity sail ignores some of the weight on the ship. If the weight is too much, the ship will start to sink. If you are alone, there is a crew system in the game, which makes it easier for you to fight alone. This crew will do anything you say with a little gold and a little rum. Let’s get back to the ships; although you cannot design the exterior of the ships yourself, you can design the interior as you wish. And this gives you different strategies. There are bosses in the game and these bosses are; It changes as hydra, dragon, giant octopus, kraken, whale, great white whale, yeti and each of them gives you features.
If you want to play the game, you need some patience. If you say you trust the company, you can enjoy it. They have almost solved one of the biggest problems of the game (connection, server).
The game has a very large map, I cannot tell you about each of them, maybe I can extend this review later. If you like the genre, you can give this game a try.
With Greetings and Prayers, Hoist all sails!
I feel like this is a really good game. It’s early access, so it’s cool to see how the game grows and improves. I’m playing it with a friend and it’s really fun. Playing alone feels incomplete.
