    Developers seem to have tried to copy good mechanics from good games but failed. The game could be used as a bad game design guide. A lot of tech problems. A lot of issues with sound design. Bad voice acting. Bad level design. Bad combat design.

    Not even close to being worth $60. FOV is locked to 80 and cannot be changed, dialogue is cringe at best, combat is unimaginative and very generic, enemies are bullet sponges, map is useless, low enemy variety, forced mouse acceleration that can't be disabled, boss/enemy pathing issues causing enemies to just stand in place, lack of a true open world, too many fetch quests with too fewNot even close to being worth $60.

    Atomic Heart is an absolute letdown of a game that fails to deliver on almost every level. The game's concept and premise seemed promising, but the execution is so poor that it's hard to find anything redeeming about it.

The game's concept and premise seemed promising, but the execution is so poor that it's hard to find anything redeeming about it.

    First of all, the game's technical issues are a major obstacle that makes it almost unplayable. From the constant frame rate drops to the never-ending loading screens, it's clear that the developers didn't put much effort into optimizing the game for modern hardware.

    Furthermore, the game's combat is a complete mess. The clunky controls and unresponsive mechanics make it frustrating to fight even the simplest of enemies. The game's AI is also terrible, making it easy to exploit their predictable behavior and making the game feel repetitive and dull.

    But perhaps the biggest disappointment of all is the game's story. The plot is convoluted and nonsensical, and the characters are uninteresting and forgettable. The game's attempts at humor fall flat, and the overall tone of the game is just confusing.

    Overall, Atomic Heart is a game that simply isn't worth your time or money. It's an unpolished mess that fails to deliver on every level, and there are far better games out there that are worth your attention.

    And yeah - this game is full of soviet/russian propaganda. Avoid at all cost.    … Expand

Despite its potential, the game falls short in almost every aspect of its gameplay mechanics.

    First and foremost, the combat system is clunky and unresponsive. The hit detection is unreliable, making it difficult to accurately land a hit on enemies, and the overall combat system lacks depth and strategy. It feels like a chore to engage in any combat encounter, and it's clear that the developers didn't put enough effort into fine-tuning this crucial aspect of the game.

    The AI of the enemies is equally disappointing. They lack any form of intelligent decision-making, often running straight towards the player with no regard for their own safety. It's as if the developers forgot to program any sort of basic AI behavior.

    Additionally, the game is riddled with technical issues, including frequent crashes, bugs, and glitches that can completely ruin the immersion. The game is also poorly optimized, causing frequent frame rate drops and lag, which is especially frustrating during combat encounters.

    The story of Atomic Heart is intriguing, but it's bogged down by tedious and repetitive gameplay. The side quests are uninspired, and the main storyline fails to fully engage the player due to the monotonous gameplay.

    In all honesty, I cannot recommend Atomic Heart to anyone. Despite its stunning graphics and intriguing storyline, the gameplay is so poorly executed that it ruins any potential the game had. The clunky combat system, unintelligent AI, technical issues, and tedious quests make for an overall frustrating and disappointing experience. It's clear that the developers focused more on the game's aesthetics than on the gameplay, and it's a shame because with more effort and attention to detail, it could have been a great game. In its current state, however, Atomic Heart is simply a bad game that falls short in almost every aspect. Save your time and money and look elsewhere for a more enjoyable gaming experience.    … Expand

    Which is absolutely hilarious as Hogwarts Legacy is literally everything this game IS NOT.

    Writing:
    - This game's story is the definition of a placeholder. In fact, its just a bunch of MacGuffins instead to drive you from location to location.
    - Saying that the main "protagonist" is unlikable would be an understatement. Absolutely unrelatable, as he realizes what's happening several hours after the player does. The dumb lines he throws are all over the place (in this regard the game took over Forespoken BY FAR). It is quite noticeable the writers had very little idea what they wanted him to be, besides being 1) a some "KGB officer" (the Chekhov's gun never shot) 2) a "brutal" man (so they come up with a 11-years old boy in an adult body).
    - The "humor" in this game... Well, if you would laugh on somebody slipping on a banana skin, there is a chance you will appreciate some of it.

    Gameplay:
    - The "open world" (I would rather call it "open space") is absolutely empty and pointless. Clearly added only to tick the checkbox for "the modern audience".
    - After several hours in, fights and enemies become so repetitive and boring.

    Other
    - No FOV slider - this will make some players feel sick on regular monitors and is absolutely unplayable on ultra-wide.

    Summary
    You can clearly see that huge money were put into the game, but it's a shiny (and fairly well-polished) shell with nothing nearly pleasant inside. What was in advertisement stayed there. Would have never bough it even for 20 bucks and selling it for 60$.. it must be yet another cringy joke from the writers.

    I would advice everyone not to get hooked on the adds and trailers and just stay away from this piece of software.    … Expand

    Well, you can still highlight the bosses, where the game is revealed from the best side, but more on that later.

    Open world: beautiful but empty. There is nothing to do. All mechanics of the open world are used ONLY at the entrances to the bunkers, in which there are weapons / attachments for weapons, that's all, there is nothing else.

    Puzzles: simple.

    Mobs: From extreme to extreme, that's how you can characterize the fight with them. What do I mean by this - If at the beginning you poke them for half an hour, then towards the middle of the game you almost one-shot them. Few types of enemies. (Worth noting, fighting late game with 5+ enemies is fun)

    Bosses: The only real thing in this game is where it's really fun to fight. The hedgehog is the top one, most likely for the music and the unfinished staff (Weapon/Skills) (IMHO).

    Melee/Firearm weapons: There are few of them, you don't feel it, well, it doesn't feel, yes but no, it's a little better than bad, so much so that when you have a mega melee weapon in your hands, it feels like it's a piece of wood. A little better with a firearm, average. Sorry for the tautology.

    Skills: Are they needed at all? No, really, they can only be useful at the beginning of the game, when it's hard for you, long and tedious to kill mobs, and then what?

    Pumping: the main problem of this game, and for which it becomes more and more boring to play, due to the fact that it becomes so easy to play that it is already boring. This item includes both the pumping of the Persian and weapons / skills.

    Plot: average. The plot is kind of interesting, the characters are funny, and the presentation is **** more than half of the story is scattered around the world / bunkers, on terminals. I am still silent that if you accidentally touch the trigger of a new dialogue, then the old one will simply stop.

    Musical accompaniment: Well, everything is clear without comment, it's cool. Not only were there old cool songs, for example, by the same Pugacheva, but also the sound from Mick Gordon (Tracks from DOOM).

    Conclusion: the game is a maximum of one time, boring. A lot of problems.

    I wanted to love this game more than anything! Looks fantastic! Luckily, I got to play it on Xbox Series X game pass before buying and I am so glad I did. Numerous game breaking bugs. Most common one was being unable to attack or pull up a weapon when being attacked. So glad I didn’t use money to purchase this on my PS5, but still so disappointed at the same time.

It's barely on par with the first and to even put this game anywhere close to a Fallout game is just nonsense. I have done a few hours, no more. The main character is a complete dick. He is supposed to be an elite professional but is really an unruly 15 year old boy who has an axe and a gun. It's painful listening to him. The RPG elements are a thin veneer of what RPG should be. It is linear and not open world. I know it was not a full OW game but the reality is that this game is not OW at all. Two corridors, one of which is a dead end so you have to go back and do the other one is linear. I thought we were well past such a bore fest. Looks pretty, interesting premise, very poor gameplay, script, acting and is a desperate attempt at a game. I will try to refund it.… Expand

    Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter game that takes place in a captivating retro-futuristic Soviet world that blends advanced technology with the style of the Soviet Union era. The game features a unique setting with a distinctive atmosphere, and the nostalgia-inducing elements, such as Soviet-era cars, architecture, and culture, add an extra layer of charm to the game.

The game features a unique setting with a distinctive atmosphere, and the nostalgia-inducing elements, such as Soviet-era cars, architecture, and culture, add an extra layer of charm to the game.

    While the shooting mechanics of Atomic Heart could use some improvement, the game's closed locations are well designed and provide an enjoyable and action-packed gameplay experience. Additionally, obtaining new weapon blueprints can feel like a bit of a chore, but the game's unique atmosphere and storyline make up for the shortcomings in the gameplay mechanics.

    One of the standout features of Atomic Heart is its soundtrack, which features popular songs with a distinctly Russian vibe, such as "Arlekino" by Pugacheva, "Trava u doma" by Zemlyane, and classic animated series "Nu, pogodi!". These cultural elements add to the game's authenticity and create a unique and immersive experience for players.

    Moreover, the inclusion of Soviet-era cars, such as the "Moskvich," adds to the game's overall appeal. As someone who has a personal connection to the car, seeing it in the game brought back many fond memories and added an extra layer of nostalgia and sentimentality to my gameplay experience.

    Overall, while Atomic Heart has its drawbacks, it is still a highly recommended game for players who are looking for a unique and captivating gaming experience. The game's incorporation of cultural elements, nostalgic elements, and the overall atmosphere make up for its flaws, providing an enjoyable and immersive gameplay experience.    … Expand

    TL;DR IMO it's the game of 2023.

    First time I heard about it, I thought it's going to be yet another B crappy shooter. Ended up a wonderful mix of Bioshock and Fallout. Actually, I liked Atomic Heart more than Bioshock. Finished it and waiting for DLCs. The atmosphere is amazing. Great attention to details, visuals and music. I liked the battle system and upgrades.

    The atmosphere is amazing. Great attention to details, visuals and music. I liked the battle system and upgrades. The best part is, I can experiment with the builds with zero (nada, blizzard etc, nilch) punishment for respecing weapons or my character. Looting system is good too.
    Bosses aren't that hard, definitely not a Dark Souls PITA. I can kill them in 1-2 tries and move on with the story, and I like it.

    The game is linear, though. The open world is there but it desperately lacks sidequests. Side-stories are mostly in the form or reading emails, listening to these watches, and talking to dead bodies. I'd recommend not to miss any and remember them as they help to put together the quite a convoluted story and atmosphere.

    Devs are very active in the forums, listening to players. Most of the bugs are already fixed.

    What sucks:
    - Price. $60 is good for months of RDR2 content, not for 3-4 days of AH. Get the game for $1, for new subscribers to Gamepass. The torrent version is an unbalanced dev build, ignore it.
    - Linear story, would really like to see Witcher quality-like sidequests. The side-stories are mostly reading/listening.
    Lots of lore is under explained. I hope it will be compensated with DLCs, as I'll be definitely waiting for them, e.g. Baba Zina is great yet lacking of her deeper story.
    - Feels like the game was developed by kids with their own interpretation of USSR. It's not bad, just funny. Take religious icons hanging in every house, in Soviet 50s in the houses of young scientists? Most of the things, vids and music belonging to later USSR, with the some "creative" explanation on why it's like that in 50s.
    - Most items can't be broken or interacted with.

    The first hours are spent in laboratory corridors, but eventually the game opens up wide and actually mirrors another game with the numbers 451 in its DNA, which is the closest to it - the modern Prey. It's also the one that best shows what the game does masterfully, and where it stumbles on its ambitions. [Issue#326]

    For a first try from a studio without any previous games, Atomic Heart is certainly an achievement albeit rough around (some) edges. Its aesthetic and mixture of well crafted action, puzzles and exploration is dragged down a bit by an abysmal open-world design (which thankfully doesn’t last long) and a rather predictable story. Nevertheless, the overall experience created the feeling that Mundfish is a studio that we should keep our eyes on in the future.
