    A bad parody for Bioshock Infinite with empty levels, no interesting dialogues or characters, filled with different propaganda items and really lame gameplay. This game is not worth 60$!

    Atomic Heart is a game that failed to live up to my expectations.

While the developers tried to create an immersive gaming experience, they seemed to have relied too heavily on the propaganda of the Soviet Union and Russia, instead of focusing on creating an interesting and engaging gameplay. Additionally, the game suffers from an over-reliance on stolen elements from other games, particularly from Bioshock.

    One of the main problems with Atomic Heart is that it lacks originality. The game feels like a mishmash of other popular games, rather than being something unique and exciting. It's clear that the developers were heavily influenced by Bioshock, with many gameplay mechanics and design elements being taken directly from that game.

    Moreover, given the current political climate, it is not ethical to support a game created by a country currently involved in an aggressive and expansionist war. It's important to be mindful of the games we choose to play and the message we send when we play them.

    Overall, I cannot recommend Atomic Heart due to its lack of originality, over-reliance on stolen elements, and the ethical concerns around supporting games created by countries involved in wars of aggression.    … Expand

    К покупке не рекомендую, по крайней мере за такие деньги.

    Battle: Guns isn't feels real, moving like in Faiiout 3.
    Graphic: Rarely looks god, but in many situations textures from 2016 will be shown. Shader not overlaid on shader. Lock fov.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Someone once called Atomic Heart the "Bolshevik Bioshock." This is a succinct, accurate view from my experience. The world is a bit hollow, as so much of what you see is just decorations. You can't pop the balloons with your axe. The hanging dead bodies look like statutes and they're impervious to your attacks as well. You can knock over a few things, but not most. It's a shame as the world looks nice, however you can't interact with it much.

    Several cliches abound, starting with the giant happy world of tomorrow crashing and going off the rails. Speaking of crashing, how many games have a flying crash in the introduction now? Then you find your token melee weapon right away, and slowly find other ballistic weapons as you go. Some doors are blocked with devices that remind me of Half-Life or Dishonored. You'll find fires that burn endlessly, transportation systems on the fritz, happy computer voices telling you to calmly evacuate, and all the other tropes of the genre.

    You're now ready to follow the advice of your onboard AI Cortana, I mean Charles, as he directs you around the world by the hand (literally, as he's a glove). Several predetermined scenes appear, and you will die a few times if you advance to far and get caught by a digging snake machine or other programmed event. When you do perish, the reload time is long. And for whatever reason, in the year 2023 you cannot save anywhere but are instead limited to specific save rooms. The game may save periodically on its own, but you can't control it. This makes reliving the lame conversations and forced cutscenes particularly annoying.

    Eventually you meet a crass Coke machine looking upgrade box which lets you use your plasmids, I mean neuromod, no wait, it's... neuromodule? So now you have the token electrical power, Shok (cause reasons). You're forced to buy this one so you can shock your way through some doors, just like in BioShock. Other doors will be various lock picking games, because it's a requirement to have lockpicking. Using the potty mouth refrigerator you'll be able to craft upgrades of course, as is the style at the time. You need recipes as the devs don't want you to have too much fun by making the weapons you want before they're ready for you to have access to them. So for now, you've got a fire axe, shotgun, Shok, and maybe one other typical ability, but that's it.

    You then begin to get through the enemies which detect you at great distances and move much faster than you can. If you luck out you can get the Obi Wan approved high ground to chop away as they stand there and take it. You'll slow your walk as you scan the scene with your Detective Vision or whatever the "limited colors see through walls where power ups light up" view. Most of the stuff you loot is just parts for grafting or med kits, taking a good bit of fun out of it.

    However for me, my story ends here as I get soft locked where I'm told I need to buy a power up but I already did. I still get the dialogue option, but cannot activate it, so I die on the laser grid separating me from my next objective. I'll leave the game installed for a bit, but I'm not drawn to it and that's the biggest sign to me. For my money and time, it's not worth it. Your kilometers may vary, and more power to you if so, but for me Atomic Heart is a "нет" at present.

    I'll wait a bit and see if they fix this, but as it stands this is a boring disappointment.    … Expand

    3 out of 10 of the first 40 minutes of the game. Doing nothing but walking around in the "Blessed USSR". The gameplay is bad, with no challenge or fun. After 1.5 hours in the game, every scene shown during the promotional material is boring. The world feels empty, with zero AI enemies and the same repetitive animation for strikes or levitation.

    1. Нет 50% звуков окружений, как в катсценах, так и непосредственно в игре.
    Например: лифт бабы зины падает без звука, но с искрами. Предметы поднятые телекинезом ударяются с эффектами разрушений/частиц , но так же без звука. И так до бесконечности.
    2. Частые вылиты без ошибок и сомнительная оптимизация. Мыльноватая игра в 60 фпс - это не оптимизация.
    3. У НПС одинаковые лица, а стартовая локация которая должна подарить вам атмфосферу, фулл забита каким-то абсурдным безумием. Вспомните роботов на беговой дорожке в самом начале игры, и то, что перед ними на ТРЁХ мониторах. Какие, ****Ь, заблокированные двери и потерянный к ним доступ?)))
    4. ГГ - былдо. Очень глупое, карикатурное и стереотипное. Его действия, слова и мысли не согласуются друг с другом. Самый простой пример: ГГ считает чуть ли не честью работать на главного учёного. При этом, такого же работягу как он, он презирает, т.к. тот "шестёрка". Лол, что?)
    5. Абсолютно напрочь убитая логика. На двери висит замок, но он ФИЗИЧЕСКИ ни как дверь не закрывает. При этом, пока ты его не снимешь, ты по какой-то причине не можешь просто потянуть дверь на себя.
    6. До абсурда безмозглый ИИ. В катсценах вовчики устраивают хитрые ловушки и садистки убивают людей. В игре, они застревают в дверном проёме, бегая туда-сюда, пока ты не спровоцируешь его атаковать тебя в ударом.

    Этот список можно продолжать долго. И это впечатление от первых двух часов игры.

    In spite of amazing visuals, Atomic Heart left me cold. A Pavlovian approach to game play, combined with a lack of effective weapons, was simply frustrating and boring.

    Bioshock Infinite is still number one, in my book, for this kind of game. Shame the developers didn't take a closer look at how they did things. Suffice to say, wasted potential.

The positive reviews I see are something to the effect of "Wow Bioshock Infinite meets Wolfenstein!" or "SovietShock!" and ignore anything about the actual game it self.

    Cons: - The first thing I noticed during the opening cutscenes was that when I panned to either side as far as I could go it would push my camera back to the center an inch, or so, if I wasn't actively pushing it that direction. Why? Let me look at my surroundings.
    - The voice acting is trash. It has no emotion and doesn't match what's going on in the actual scene or moment in the game. It has some Tommy Wiseau in The Room level editing where voice lines are almost on top of each other before the other character has really even finished speaking. Along with the bad voice acting/editing is the bad sound design. There were often times where there was sound just straight up missing or mismatched. The part where Granny fires the rocket launcher the sound was basically just not there.. Felt like an alpha build of the game which is sad considering this part took place in under the first hour of the game. I thought maybe the voice acting would take a back seat to the other features of the game but no. The main character and his sentient glove talk nonstop. The dialogue is real
    - It's buggy. One of the very first enemies comes through a door which I attacked, and then he got stuck behind the door. I could attack and kill him, but I couldn't loot him. The door never opened again. Some enemies flash on screen before actually showing up and are attackable.
    - The looting. The looting is the most tedious thing about this game. It's marketed as an easy "continue to hold F and and you vacuum everything up" when in reality you have to hold F in very specific spots, and for long enough, or it doesn't count if you've looted it entirely and you miss items. There's also entirely too many objects to loot which adds to the tediousness.
    - Batman detective mode. The radar mode helps slightly with making sure you loot everything but it's super inconsistent. Certain items are visible super far away and some not; some visible around corners and some not. Felt like I was constantly pulling it up, and when I didn't I would pull it up to find I missed a single metal crouton in a single pencil drawer in a room full of 50 different lootable filing cabinets.
    - Combat isn't great. The responsiveness of the dodge and light attack seem to work well. But the first upgrade you get is a whirlwind heavy attack. Takes a long time to complete, spins your vision, and you can be hit while finishing the long attack time. I'm sure it works ok with upgraded versions of the freeze and shield, but why bother when you can light attack, dodge without getting dizzy.
    - Platforming. Feels like the most tacked on aspect of the game. The game doesn't explain at all how to move while climbing walls and pipes. I just moved my mouse and character around until eventually my character awkwardly put out his arm and then I knew "oh ok now its time for me to jump". A lot of the time you jump and miss. Instead of falling all the way down you get caught on an weird part of the geometry like a crack in the cement wall that clearly isn't meant to be stood upon.
    - Horny fridge? Why? Just why? I guess it fits with the terrible writing.

    Pros: Runs well, looks nice, and the environments are well done. That's it. That's literally all of it.

    Normally don't write reviews but this is genuinely one of the worst games I've played to date. Felt worth saying something against all of the "positive" reviews that don't actually say anything about the game. All of this in under two hours of game play. Refunded it.    … Expand

    And Atomic Heart shows the USSR in a beautiful light, while Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus show the Third Reich as absolute evil.

On top of that, the game is incredibly slow paced, littered with bugs, and is filled with stupid unnecessary puzzle elements.

    I'm starting to wonder if the imagination of game developers have stagnated, because this is yet another title with sci-fi elements where you have to fight monsters, robots, and combat weird ass creatures. Also, some missions in game are just insane. For example when you need to ride on a train and need a ticket. You get a ticket, but it's expired, so you need a new one. Way to spend my game time developers. >.<

    All in all, if your looking for a nice looking Sci-Fi FPS, then sure... give it a try. But this is seriously one of the most annoying games I have ever played.

    A strong recommendation to Mundfish: invest a little more in your dialogue and narrative design, as all your hard work creating beautiful environments is often overshadowed by the awkward verbal cliches of the protagonist. These works great in Far Cry Blood Dragon and Bulletstorm but less so in a game that seemingly takes it self so seriously. An thesaurus would serve you well.

Being a huge Bioshock fan, this game instantly got my attention, and for a few months i've been eagerly waiting for its release, preordering and everything, only to be met with respawning, bullet sponge enemies, incredibly poor dialogue, boring puzzles that the game makes fun of itself (that doesn't make it endearing, you just acknowledge your own poor level design) and horndog npcs. The gameplay was lackluster and the only few things I found entertaining was the beautiful environments, animations, and enemy design. Game peaked at the Hedgie boss imo, that was actually really fun and was a huge step in the right direction. I never found the mouse acceleration to be a huge issue, actually didnt even notice it was on until I read other negative reviews. Kinda worth it if you pick it up on sale 80% off, otherwise a waste of my hard earned 60$… Expand

    Tons of bugs, very strange game design in some places, strange balance, this game should have been more polished. Almost in every element of the game, it's felt that this is the first big game of developers and they have lack of experience. This game would be 6-7 out of 10, but critical and annoying bugs ruin everything and and they blocking walkthrough, so that's why this is only 1.

    **** with the level of humor of an underdeveloped child.
    They added only one mode of transportation, one color. I think they just did it for fun.
    The open world is empty.
    And once again, terrible humor and narrative.

    BOY WAS I WRONG.
    The setting, graphics and world building are gorgeous, but;

    - The gameplay is mediocre at best
    - The dialogue is one step away from terrible
    - The puzzles are unnecessarily annoying
    - The crafting is an artificial gameplay extender that adds no value to the game
    - The guns are almost pointless (at least early on)
    - The glove won't shutup
    - The vending machine makes me want to kill myself
    - The parkour often doesn't work properly
    - The tutorials pop up during sections where you're repeatedly hitting the space button, so it auto skips them
    - The rhythm based lockpicking system is the most annoying lockpicking system I've ever seen
    - The protagonist (and glove) treat you like a 5 year old, that needs everything explained
    - The port to PC feels like they did literally nothing to make it PC friendly

    If you like souls-like style gameplay, (I use that relatively loosely) grind-a-thons and games that look beautiful, then you genuinely may love this, but if you're expecting a fast paced, well designed FPS set in an interesting universe, you better hurry along.

    TLDR; The game is a beautiful looking tedious nightmare that does not deliver AT ALL on the fast paced FPS style aesthetic you might be expecting, they've taken the mediocre parts of several different genres and badly combined them into a painstaking, tedious mess    … Expand

    Jogo ruim, puta que pariu, chato, cheio de puzzle chato, ação genérica e sem criatividade, diálogos sem sentido, muito ruim.

    Устаревший геймплей, большое количество багов, кривые анимации. Единственное, что тянет игру, так это сеттинг советского союза. Еще минус за удаление игры из стима для российского региона.

    Можете закидать меня помидорами, но единственное самое лучшее в этой игре - атмосфера.
    Персонажи в игре ни чем не запоминаются (разве что баба Зина со своим юмором и не более). Остальные персонажи являются какими-то пустыми, на которых попросту все равно. Зафоршенные близняшки своей красотой не могут давать + балл к оценке игры только потому, что они красивые.

    Сюжет показался мне не интересным и уж через чур переполненным всякой информацией, которая спустя одного часа игры становится понятной. Но до конца игры нас все пичкают одной и той жей инфой, что начинает надоедать.
    По поводу геймплея. Бесконечные одни и те же муторные локации со врагами отличающиеся только текстурами. Одни и те же враги, то же самое оружие, все одно и то же. Какие-то навыки к скиллам которые по сути мало что дают, а сами скиллы практически бесполезны. Напомнило чем-то 1 tlou, где ты рубишь тонну врагов, а после продолжается повествование, но перепичканый всякими скиллами и навыками.
    Разработчикам, повторюсь, отдельный респект за атмосферу и саму идею, но как по мне, оценка 2. Из-за того, что написано выше.    … Expand

    Fanboys of this game rating others as zero.
    Well - enjoy an answer for that.
    Otherwise would've scored it as 5 or 6.

    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]

    Great level design, dangerous enemies, good gunplay and intriguing story come together to deliver an unforgettable game. [page 38]

    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.
