I think whether you enjoy ATOM writing depends on couple of things:
- whether you were expecting something more serious (like Fallout 1), or something more wacky (like Fallout 2). IMO, ATOM is closer to FO2 in tone, with heavy dose of soviet colouring
- whether you get the real-world references and like having such in your game - ATOM is super heavy on various references to Russian/Soviet literature and pop-culture. If you're not familiar with those, you will feel like something is missing. And if you hate real world refs, you will hate the writing
- whether you could play it in original - while the English translation is OK, it's not as good as original Russian. I'm not a native speaker in either of those languages but I consider myself fluent in both, so had a good comparison.
