Atlas a game with high promises of over 40,000 people in one game all at once but upon release, the servers couldn’t handle even 10,000 people with constant crashes and no one being able to get in game caused a lot of first day problems even after the fact of being able to get in the game it was extremely laggy and completely unplayable. launch day aside the game had even more problems mainly with performance and balance issues collecting resources was next to impossible dying before anyone was able to collect anything, getting off the starter islands and into the real game finally but unfortunately if you play alone your not going to be getting very far.

Atlas is mainly based for widespread groups of people that are always on and can defend the base and the ships otherwise everyday a solo player gets on there base and ships they worked so hard and long to get will be destroyed and gone, it is possible to hire crewmen to protect your stuff but they are easy to dispatch of and don’t do a ton of damage. Leveling up and making new equipment is relatively easy except if you need resources that aren’t on an island you have to take a half hour journey across the ocean just to get a few items to travel a half hour back which could be extremely fun if there were something to do but for the most part its just sitting there changing sails to get the wind to push you a little bit faster. Atlas is getting a giant game changing update at the end of March or early April 2019 that the company claims will drastically change all the content, performance, and balance issues which could be huge for the game, I hope it does Im a big fan and hope it takes off.
