Hollow Atlas

Hollow Atlas is a slower, moodier adventure about mapping a chain of floating islands. There's no combat pressure, just exploration, small environmental puzzles and a story you piece together from notes and murals.

The controls are simple swipe-to-move and tap-to-interact, which suits the calm pace. What kept me going was the sense of place. Each island has its own weather and its own little secret, and finishing one always hinted at the next.

It's not for everyone, but if you like games that let you breathe, this is a lovely evening on a phone. Headphones recommended for the ambient soundtrack.
