The “Atomfall” Speedrun Experience

This is not a review, and not even a gameplay impressions video, because I haven’t played enough of the game to make either one of those videos. This is just a brief record of my experience with the speedrun playthrough of the game, and some thoughts on why having this choice is good. There will be a few spoilers, so watch at your own risk. 

The first time I booted up Atomfall, I played for around 30 minutes, without making much progress, mostly because the game doesn’t directly tell you where to go and what to do. I went away to play other games, thinking I would explore Atomfall at a leisurely pace later.

Then the news started coming in that people were beating the game in less than an hour. I was confused. I remembered from the early reviews that the game was anywhere between 10-30 hours long. So what exactly was going on?
