    This is a wonderful game that boggles the imagination! The unique atmosphere of Soviet Russia, which is nowhere to be found. The game gave a breath of fresh air in a monotonous swamp!

    Todo es increíble, al inicio puede parecer molesto o extraño pero conforme avanzas en la historia todo cobra sentido. Candidato a GOTY 2023 y apenas es el primer juego del estudio.

By the way, the game actually does not promote anything, as someone claims (I would even say, it will discredit many aspects of the Soviet Union to some extent). But there is really a lot of Soviet aesthetics in the game. Believe me, it is not so exaggerated in comparison with what it was in reality.    … Expand

    But on positive- great story, great atmosphere, world well thought of and really delivering that soviet positivity vibe gone wrong. Rtx is really well implemented adding to claustrophobic atmosphere in corridors. For me atmosphere was main driver but building up of character was also adding as well implemented (only that robot was really cheesy with sex allusions).

    All in all, so far good candidate for one of best games this year and great first game of this dev studio.    … Expand

    Throughout the years and before the official release media outlets would write that Atomic Heart would never release and looks too good to be true in the trailers. With multiple games releasing already in 2023 with performance issues and bugs I had surprisingly little problems with this game. An example of how you should not judge a game before release, the negative press was uncalled for.Throughout the years and before the official release media outlets would write that Atomic Heart would never release and looks too good to be true in the trailers.

    A love letter to Bioshock your first impression is the fantastic world building and environmental storytelling. The second impression is the annoying main character, constantly swearing and arrogant which becomes grating over time. While some dialogue was funny, most of it is childish and I would have wished for a different protagonist.

    The game itself looks absolutely stunning, the music with a mix of classical and house music (sometimes mixed together) is fantastic and the gunplay serviceable. Playing with a controller on PC some bosses were a bit hard to keep in focus with their fast movements.

    I thought the upgrade system that returns spent materials if you want to try a different weapon or skill is a great idea.

    Overall an enjoyable game for fans of Bioshock that does not need to hide behind his inspiration.    … Expand

    (po graniu 27h i ukończeniu gry)
    Świetny, unikalny klimat, przyjemny gameplay i w porządku fabuła ze szczyptą komunistycznej propagandy

    Rewelacyjny klimat i design świata - zdecydowanie podmuch świeżości.
    Specyficzna, utopijno-antyutopijna wizja świata.
    Podział na klasy społeczne, kult ciężkiej pracy będącej sensem życia - trochę takie dziwaczne niewolnictwo, w którym prawie każdy jest gorszy i nikt tak naprawdę niczego nie posiada, ale wszyscy niby szczęśliwi.
    Mówienie do siebie "towarzyszu" ma sekciarski vibe.

    Chwilami propaganda - kapitalizm be, ludzie w nim wykorzystywani i im źle, a komunizm dobry i wszystkim żyje się super xD

    Fabuła niespecjalnie ambitna ani odkrywcza, ale wystarczająco przyjemna.
    Słabo opowiedziana - czasem nieco naciągana, czasem czegoś zabrakło, czasem jest tylko pretekstem do pokazania czegoś ciekawego/dziwnego.
    Nudnawy początek, zbyt od tak wrzuca w fabułę - nie czujemy relacji bohatera z szefem, którego darzy bezgranicznym podziwem i zaufaniem.
    Bohater nieprzyjemny, niezbyt inteligentny komuch, zwolennik ZSRR, wiecznie podirytowany, wyżywa się na wszystkich i zdanie zmienia jakby miał bordera. Powoli mu idzie domyślanie się oczywistości.

    Nie ma seksu, ale są nawiązania, a bohater bywa werbalnie molestowany.

    Proste i przyjemne zagadki logiczne.

    Walka dosyć prosta, ale dynamiczna i satysfakcjonująca.
    Zróżnicowani i fajni przeciwnicy, zwłaszcza bossowie.... choć z każdym przeciwnikiem walczy się prawie tak samo.
    Widać na nich ślady, i potrafią rozwalić się na kawałki z uwzględnieniem uderzenia.
    Bezsensowna możliwość zabijania po cichu - odpala długie i uciążliwe quick time eventy

    Broni nie jest dużo, ale zróżnicowane i każdą można się pobawić.
    Można je ulepszać, a balans niezły, choć są wyjątki.
    Dźwięki broni przyjemne, nie jak pierdziawki.

    Nieprzemyślany "otwarty" świat i system odradzania wrogów na mapie - w trakcie fabuły odrzuca od zwiedzania.
    Łatwo pominąć opcjonalne poligony z ulepszeniami - wystarczyłaby przemyślana, dodatkowa misja fabularna, która by do tego namówiła, bo warto, choć wejście do niektórych nie jest przyjemne/oczywiste.

    Bardzo dobre udźwiękowienie i muzyka.
    Idealnie pasuje do klimatu i sprawia, że wiele zwykłych czynności jest satysfakcjonujących.

    Grafika nieco starawa - zwłaszcza oświetlenie.
    Wygląda jakby ktoś chciał ją mocno podkręcić kilkoma trikami - winieta, wysoka ostrość i kontrast.
    Świetna optymalizacja.
    Bardzo ładne kolory.

    Zepsute chodzenie po skałach - bardzo łatwo utknąć.

    Dobry dubbing PL.    … Expand

    + Great game, fun mechanics, rich world, enchanting visual style, cool weapons.
    + Fun puzzles, the right ammount of challenge here.
    - The protagonist is quite unlikable.
    - Boss battles are not much fun, a bit irritating though, just a lenghty repetition of the same attacks. But you can lower the difficulty if you don't want to waste too much time there.

    Atomic Heart is a great game, with excellent presentation, world and graphics. Combat feels good with good gunplay and excellent melee where you slice up machines which looks great. The writing and voice acting are indeed quite bad. But the gameplay is great. Tons of weapon upgrades and character skills to play with.

    The constantly repairing machines in the open world get annoying, but just don’t get spotted by a camera and if you do, just run for it. It’s a pity the open world wasn’t utilised in a better and in depth way, since it’s stunning to be in but not much to do there. All in all it’s very much worth playing, if they can improve on the writing and story this developer can seriously create something incredible.    … Expand

Это произведение искусства превосходит все ожидания и устанавливает новые стандарты для жанра экшн-RPG.

    С самого начала игры, Atomic Heart завораживает своей атмосферой. Мрачный и таинственный мир постапокалиптического СССР окутан внутренней напряженностью и жутким шармом. Графика поражает своей детализацией, а качество звукового сопровождения погружает игрока в опасный и неизведанный мир.

    Сюжет игры захватывает с первых минут. Ваш персонаж, сотрудник спецслужб, становится свидетелем масштабной катастрофы, и его главная задача — разобраться в происходящем и найти ответы на множество вопросов. Загадки, интриги и реверсивные моменты вплетены в сюжет так гармонично, что оторваться от игры практически невозможно.

    Геймплей Atomic Heart предлагает глубокую и продуманную систему боя и прокачки персонажа. Выживание в этом опасном мире требует стратегии, тактики и изобретательности. Арсенал оружия впечатляет разнообразием, а встречи с различными монстрами и противниками становятся настоящим испытанием для игрока.

    Отдельно стоит упомянуть о превосходном качестве музыкального сопровождения игры. Атмосферные треки и мастерски выполненные звуковые эффекты дополняют впечатление от игры и делают ее еще более захватывающей. Треки из далекого прошлого СССР заставляли меня невольно улыбаться во время прохождения игры.

    В заключение хочется сказать, что Atomic Heart — это истинное произведение искусства, которое заслуживает внимания каждого ценителя игровой индустрии. Я настоятельно рекомендую погрузиться в этот потрясающий мир и насладиться каждой минутой проведенного времени в игре.

    - Combat is not hard like souls game but you can quite easily get punished if you start not giving attention to the game.
    - Story was a little above the average (although some players says it was easy to guess what was going to happen it was not like that for me, I didn't saw what was coming) and was enough for a game at this caliber (especially considering this is the debut game for this studio).
    - Puzzles were too much but I enjoyed so for me it was no big deal but maybe they could have decrease 1 puzzle in training grounds and add a boss for golden box to make it better.

    Downsides:
    - number of bosses in the game (for example there could be couple of unique boss -if not unique for each - for training grounds)
    - vulnerability and resistance mechanic (it is there but it is actually not because it doesn't matter if you fight according to that or not).    … Expand

    If I were to describe the game in one word, it would be "good".

    Dev version leaked a while ago had problems, most of which like combat balance, audio bugs, too little loot, interaction bugs and others were mostly fixed at release. Overall, great job with finishing touches, considering only a few months have passed.

    Graphics are good, 8-9/10, Mundfish really did their homework on this one. For the most part, the game looks amazing.

    Audio is great too, if we exclude the bugs (most of which got fixed anyway), I'd say it's a firm 8/10 for overall audio and 9/10 for sound design.
    Combat system has its problems, overall it's good and fun, but it takes a lot of time to adjust to it. Powers and upgrades are well-made, can't say anything bad about them. Problems are mostly noticed in guns and dodging (mostly guns). It's not critical, but still, 7/10 for guns, 9/10 for powers, and I guess 7-8/10 overall.

    The game is undoubtedly fun when it gets going, got lost in some locations a few times, but it's not much of an issue considering that they are very well-made. And here's for the next point.

    Design. Here I'll address something.
    This game stands on the vibes, vibes of idealized retro-futuristic Soviet Union.
    If there is any ideology in the game - it's anti-Soviet one, just like in every other game since the beginning of gaming as we know it. Bad party, lies, etc. This game has nothing close to propaganda, some flattery towards China is all I noticed, and that is most likely for Chinese players.
    But man, VIBES, vibes in this game are fantastic. Devs have managed to hit a nostalgic Soviet spot like no others did before.
    You can walk through locations and see the inspirations they took in, for example Buzludzha and VDNH. They nailed everything they could about design and environment.
    After all, that was the plan from the beginning. 10/10.

    I could go on and on with this game, but I'll stop here. I decently recommend it to anyone who is into this kind of games.
    My score is probably between 8 and 9/10, but I'll score 10/10 just to counter the zeros from people who for whatever reason believe that 15 years of all the Developer's hard labor and tremendous work their big and multinational team have putted into this game should be scored 0 because this game gives "wrong vibes" to them.    … Expand

    Beautiful graphics, good music. Twins...
    Good storyline and good melee combat.
    Such a mixture of bioshock and Soviet punk.
    A lot of people underestimated the game due to "sponsoring the Russian Federation." That's why I bought the game twice.

    Goods Combat/gameplay is top notch. Guns are fun to use, and game ends before things start to feel repetetive.

    Combat/gameplay is top notch. Guns are fun to use, and game ends before things start to feel repetetive. You get different guns that calls for different play styles, and on top of that, each gun has dedicated upgrades that changes or adds functionality which makes it even more fun. Enemy interactions are fun, they usually take damage/get damaged realistically..

    Story and setting were more than good enough to captivate me through the end. Setting is actually rather spectacular, and story has multiple plot twists that hit you back to back. I was interested all the time. World is crafted with a lot of detail and lore and you can read all about it in in-game terminals.

    Open world is there, but it is not tedious as most open world games are. It is a condensed world that just acts as a tool to progress the story. You enter "hubs" called training grounds for weapon upgrades and additional loot, and these locations boast different challenges, platforming puzzles and so on. You do not need to do all of them; game specifically tells you what upgrades you will find in specific training grounds, which is a welcome feature. This way you can focus on the upgrades for the weapons you desire and ignore others. However game was so captivating that I ended up completing most of the training grounds, it simply was fun.

    Bads
    Well story is a bit cliche, and dialogue can get cringey at times (not all times! sometimes it gets very philosophical and makes you stop and think about stuff).
    Sometimes there are too much dialogue to a point it overlaps with stuff.
    Quest design is a bit archaic, mostly they're fetch/go grab type of quests. However overall gameplay loop and story makes it bareable.    … Expand

    There are some bug issues (much less than Cyberpunk 2077), but in what AAA game doesn't have them?)
    Great immersive sim in the style of Soviet science fiction.
    If you liked Prey (2017) or Bioshock, then there's no objective reason why you shouldn't like Atomic Heart.

    General - 10, +2 just for the willpower of dev's and publishers to release a good game on such a subject, at such a time.

Also can't mention bugs with collision (getting stuck in rocks and flying cars on bridge)    General - 10, +2 just for the willpower of dev's and publishers to release a good game on such a subject, at such a time.

    Scenario 7/10 - was surprised with both two endings, but I think it would be better if glove-character story was shown in the gameplay, not in laptops or notes. Also in my opinion general story itself doesn't really fit USSR setting. I think it would be better if story was like the real story of RSRI (Rocket Science Research Institute), in which S. P. Korolev's was working by the way - the struggle of scientists for attention to their projects, feuds, denunciations against each other, which theoretically can result in something like what is shown in the game, which I think would fit game setting well, and not only "im the evil just because" plot of one of characters. Anyway, story present in the game is still good enough to surprise at the end.

    El joc és bastant bo i entretingut, que use el concepte de USSR em flipa. Els jocs que s'inspiren en Bioshock com aquest ja m'impressionaran des del principi. Les parts sensuals són bastant gracioses d'escoltar, i a vegades una mica excessives, però no passa res, no canvia la diversió que produeix. A part, gràficament és bestial, el rendiment és increïble, és necessari jugar-lo.

    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.
