Rebellion announces Atomfall has dropped, and this postapocalyptic survival game is now available for PC, Game Pass, and PlayStation, and Xbox. You can pick up the Windows edition on the Epic Games Store and Steam, and while there isn't a launch discount, there's an opportunity to pay more for the Deluxe Edition (also available as an upgrade). This is an alternate history game based on real-world nuclear accident in the UK in the 1950s, and its Britishness is a stated feature (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Churchill?). Here's more on that, the game, and the deluxe version:
A UK-based post-apocalyptic survival-action game, Atomfall is inspired by the real life Windscale nuclear incident in the 1950s. Players will embark on a fictionalized adventure meeting a cast of weird and wonderful characters as they try to uncover the mystery of what happened at the Atom Plant and escape the Quarantine Zone.
Atomfall’s Deluxe Edition is available digitally. This Deluxe Edition gives players the Basic Supply Bundle DLC, which offers additional items and supplies to uncover as you explore, including an exclusive melee weapon variant, additional loot caches and an item recipe. It also gives players an Enhanced Supply Bundle, which includes an exclusive pistol variant, metal detector skin and character upgrades. Alongside this, players will also enjoy access to the Story Expansion Pack: Wicked Isle DLC when released*. Players who purchase the Standard Edition can purchase the Deluxe Upgrade to enjoy the same additional content.

Had to do a deep dive on the real incident. Britain was lucky!!! Game looks interesting, but reviews seem to suggest a short game, have seen 5- 15 hrs, up to 20 if you are a completionist. Anyway, will wait for the price to drop. Seems a tad expensive for the length of play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0DXndsQ0H4

One of the games that I will definitely buy one day. But since I know I won't have time to play this for at least a year or two, I can wait for it to be patched and maybe add some DLC and become cheaper.
