    I really wanted to like Atomic Heart. I am a sucker when it comes to sci fi dystopian worlds. But the one thing that really held this game back was everything just felt such a drag. Its like everything just took an unnecessary long time. Normally you come across a puzzle and its complete and move on. Atomic Heart is more complete, complete again with extra steps another 2 or 3 times. ButI really wanted to like Atomic Heart. I am a sucker when it comes to sci fi dystopian worlds.

Normally you come across a puzzle and its complete and move on. Atomic Heart is more complete, complete again with extra steps another 2 or 3 times. But after each time we will throw in a ton of enemies just to make it take even longer. If you wanna add new iterations of puzzles that's fine but do this throughout the game not directly after each other. If you wanna add combat encounters then make them meaningful and not just busy work.
    For the story, I kinda lost track tbh cos I kept putting the game down. The combat is fun at 1st but because there is far to many of the same encounters I kept getting sick of it. These devs need to learn about finding the right balance instead of jam packing as much in as they can. Just because something is awesome, what makes it even better is when there is less of it so you can appreciate it more. They got the talent no doubt, but now they need to learn how to execute it correctly.    … Expand

    Atomic Heart es un shooter al más puro estilo Bioshock, pero esta vez ambientado en la unión soviética de los años 50, aunque con una gran diferencia, pues un descubrimiento científico ha dado lugar a una gran revolución científica que ha llevado al país a convertirse en una sociedad totalmente robotizada.

    Nos encontramos ante un gran videojuego sobre todo en su atmósfera y en su jugabilidad. Los jefes son variados y con un buen desafío, aunque hay que destacar como punto negativo que algunos de ellos son auténticas esponjas de balas.
    Sus buenos gráficos en sinergia con su hermoso estilo artístico consiguen una atmósfera única que en ciertos momentos es sobrecogedora. La escultura y arquitectura de los años 50 está muy presente y en todo momento logra hacernos creer que estamos en una URSS futurista.
    Una de las mejores cosas de esta obra es su magnífica presentación.
    La historia es su gran punto débil ya que, sin ser mala, ni mucho menos, es una historia que no sorprende, con pocos personajes realmente memorables, giros de guion predecibles y diálogos flojos.
    El juego cuenta con algunos bugs molestos, pero ninguno de ellos preocupante. Su optimización en pc es muy buena, pero cuenta con el sistema antipiratería Denuvo lo que siempre es un lastre.    … Expand

    A mechanically solid Bioshock-esque shooter that doesn't know when to shut up. I mean seriously, the writers of this game need to learn how to EDIT. Also the story takes an enormous dump on itself in the last act, a sin that Bioshock Infinite committed as well.

    Downloaded, launched and immediately wanted to exit. The game has a lot of bugs. The sound may simply disappear along with the dubbing. The game will be interesting if you only follow the plot. If you start to study it in more detail, you will be very disappointed.
    I think, the game received such a sucess at the time of release, only because of the sexualization of the twin robots.

    If I were to describe "Atomic Heart" accurately, I would dub it the 'Illusion Fair'. Despite having a genuinely short game length, it crafts the illusion of an open world that convinces you of a lengthy adventure ahead. The NPCs never let up, and the game's difficulty level, even on the easiest mode, is exorbitantly high. This robs many players of their peace and increases stress levels.If I were to describe "Atomic Heart" accurately, I would dub it the 'Illusion Fair'.

The scarcity of save points just adds salt to these wounds.

    I am at ease that I played this game via Xbox Game Pass, as I was contemplating buying it directly. But this should be evaluated in the context of my subjective opinion and gaming taste. If you're a "Doom" aficionado and love run-and-gun style games, this could be heaven for you. But for me, it was a disappointing experience.    … Expand

    Clunky combat and buggy mechanics do not compensate for what is clearly a high-effort world building effort. What ultimately made me stop playing was the MC constantly blabbering and berating his AI companion. It's a real shame, because the game fails simply by trying too hard.

    This game might have the worst FPS combat I encountered in a long time, is very unclean, chaotic, unfun, with waves and waves of endless enemies and there are even robots that can repair other robots and undo all your combat progress in that specific combat sequence. It's just unbalanced, and the enemies themselves are so fing frustrating to fight is like they really tried very hard to make this game as unfun as possible. You get a silly dodge which often gets you stuck in some textures after performing it, weapons doesn't feel that great and also the bosses design is pretty bad. Don't even make me start on the story and character development in this game, and the dumb, cringe and unlikable main character. It's like the story was written in the bathroom break of GoW Ragnarok or somethis is really really awful. Cinematics look funny and not in a good way. I don't understand the choice of making this game open world, it's very bad in that aspect with a lot of recycled content. The only good part about the gameplay was looting, which was satisfying, other than that is pretty shallow. Oh, and it was a pretty buggy experience too. So overall I definitely cannot recommend this game.    … Expand

    не выглядит копиркой какой-то определённой игры, имеет уникальные черты.
    Особо описывать сюжет нету смысла, почему-то русские разрабы всегда бояться сделать что-то серьёзное, как в американских блокбастерах, нет, обязательно надо какой-то веселёнький трешовый трешачок сделать, так же проще - зачем напрягаться в реализм? Просто навалим юмора, плюс тут ещё и очень плохая постановка катсцен, никакого импакта от них не чувствуешь, и также "умственно отсталый" главный герой, ну хотя как ещё могли сделать кгб-шника, это не минус, просто к сведению. Тем не менее, я должен отметить очень богатый лор проекта, записек тут.. ух, графомания знатная, конечно, но хоть продумали вселенную. Ну и концовку я, считаю, грамотно сделали. Правда, как же к ней долго подводят, последние сюжетные уровни невероятно сильно душат, дают несколько каких-то однообразных боссов, резко кучу сюжета и записок наваливают,
    ну ладно, это уже о геймплее,
    Скажу сразу - он простой, прям очень, челленджа тут не ждите, у вас есть несколько способностей, 2-е на выбор (это щит или заморозка или кинетическое поднимание врагов или полимерный проводник различных эффектов), 1 постоянная - это шок, также у нас 1 ближнее оружие, имеющее сильный и слабый удар, и стандартный набор огнестрела: шотган, пистолет, беск. электрический пистолет, калаш, гаусс-пушка, базука. Дефицита патронов тут нет, каждая способность имеет свой "кулдаун".. И, с таким широким арсеналом, я практически не встречал трудностей, даже с толпой противников.. да, враги достаточно быстрые, несутся на тебя уверенно со всей дури, у нас также есть способность рывка в сторону, но, даже на высокой сложности, враги шёлкаются, как орешки, а уж ваншотный гранатомёт.. почти что создаёт имбовый дизбаланс, спасает только то, что патронов на финальных уровнях к нему дают мало, хотя я бы вообще закрыл возможность крафта припасов на него. В общем, куча способностей, тыкая все подряд в бою - при любом сете, вы будете терминатором.
    Что однозначно круто? Общий арт-дизайн, атмосферные песни Пугачёвой, механика собирания лута.. блин, она невероятная, вы пылесосите перчаткой шкафы и ящики, даже не подходя к ним, анимации выдвижения ящиков не надоедают даже после 20 часов игры, в каждой бы игре с лутом такую механику..

    First and foremost I would encourage you to disregard reviews unspecific about what they enjoyed or did not enjoy — There is probably more positive propaganda from butthurt Russians than negative from SJWs.

Bunch of fetch quests in corridor    First and foremost I would encourage you to disregard reviews unspecific about what they enjoyed or did not enjoy — There is probably more positive propaganda from butthurt Russians than negative from SJWs.

    Pros:
    1. Soundtrack
    2. Graphics

    Cons:
    1. Not easy to navigate the main quests — objectively frustrating and frequently disrespectful of player time. Bunch of fetch quests in corridor mazes where map/navigation assistance is useless 60% of the time. And that’s probably a generous figure.

    Also long and completely unskippable dialogues/cinematics.

    2. Wants to be an action RPG & also a survival game & also a looter shooter & also a walking sim / visual novel? No mechanical synergy, just sh*t thrown at the wall.

    3. FPS optimized very well, but don’t be fooled by that — it is a very, very glitchy game. Laughed at reviews lauding optimization just because motion is smooth, when you can easily get locked in place by the environment requiring restart in a game that uses save stations…

    4. ^An action game that uses save stations^

    5. Combat revolves entirely around crowd controlling brain dead hyper aggressive enemies that, for the most part, just want you in a corner. Reverse difficulty curve isn’t very satisfying in endgame + enemies are all bullet sponges.

    6. Trying to navigate swimming through polymer

    7. Not sure if I love or hate the “force pull for loot” mechanic. Might be better with a mouse than controller. Lots of time spent looting… not a lot of loot.

    Summary:
    Think of this as an experiment by an indie developer with action that controls like it was designed as a PC or VR game (think subnautica), and you will appreciate what they’ve done here.

    If you go in expecting a tight shooter looter like borderlands, you will be disappointed.

    Overall most of the good manifests as unrealized potential. It shows promise as an iterative IP, but it’s hard to recommend the debut in a vacuum.

    Get this on sale or if your are just mega bored and intrigued by the setting.    … Expand

    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.
