    Como una gran ola Atomic Heart tiene un comienzo de lujo, es fantásticamente bien desarrollado, con grandes detalles en los graficos y el diseño de arte, hace un buen trabajo en adentrarte a su mundo, a su temática, a su premisa, todo perfecto y después el juego tiene un gran giro.
    Por ser un juego en ruso, decidí jugar el juego con las voces en ruso, lo cual fue una buena decisión considerando que el doblaje al ingles es pesimamente malo –además de que no me gusta jugar o ver nada que no sea en su lenguaje original-, denme subtitulos en mi idioma y todo lo demás en el original de los creadores, es lo que digo.
    Después de la introducción se presentan unos personajes buenos que prometen mucho y que terminan por ser mal utilizados por el resto del juego, no se ven muchos de ellos sino hasta los momentos conclusivos del juego. Cuando se terminan apareciendo, es en contextos abstractos en donde el juego ha rebasado cualquier poco sentido que tenía en principio, en cambio los personajes son actores en un escenario que no tiene sentido.
    La jugabilidad esta compuesta en dos partes, al inicio los niveles son lineales y cerrados, cosa que es buena por que demuestra las habilidades que los diseñadores tenían, es verdad que necesitaban un cambio de ambiente después de un cierto tiempo, pero lo que ofrecen aquí es de lo peor, por que cambian el diseño del juego después de seis horas de jugarlo, pasa de ser una experiencia enfocada y lineal, a un juego que trata de implementar elementos de pseudo mundo abierto; pero estos elementos no están presentados, ni introducidos con ninguna lógica, muchos de ellos parecen estar -incluso-, inacabados.
    El mapa no funciona, resta mucha funcionalidad, no tiene marcadores, a veces marcadores que están en el propio juego al jugarlo, desaparecen por completo al abrir el mapa. Hay sistemas que el juego introduce que se utilizan quizá unas tres veces en total, literalmente, uno de ellos bastante peculiar en donde tienes que acceder a cámaras para abrir compuertas, cosa que se te explica una vez en un pequeño tutorial al comienzo del mundo abierto y después desaparece.
    Además, el mundo abierto tiene un sistema arbitrario y absurdo de alarmas, si te ven una de las cámaras mencionadas, se alertan a los robots que hay en el mundo, estos te persiguen sin importar cuanto corras, puedes tratar de ser mas sigiloso y estratégico; destruir cámaras, tratar de derrotar a tus enemigos de formas silenciosas utilizando un método extraño y obtuso para hacerlo que depende de eventos que demandan que presiones un botón de una manera irritantemente rápida. Pero no importa, si destruyes las cámaras, a los tres o cuatro segundos, vienen libélulas cibernéticas que las restauran y reintegran a donde estaban. No hay manera de evitar esto.
    Los puzles y acertijos que te encuentras también varían mucho, hay unos donde los conceptos son completamente únicos y bastante divertidos de interactuar con ellos, mientras que hay otros donde sus diseños e instrucciones son confusas, además de estar llenas de contrariedades, otros simplemente funcionan sin explicarte bien muchos de sus sistemas y funcionamiento; casi los resuelves sin pensar demasiado.
    Mucho del combate es bueno, no tengo problemas con el combate mas allá de que en partes tardías y conclusivas del juego el balance de dificultad y de recursos varia mucho, además de que el juego comienza a presentar unos muy buenos diseños de enemigos que tienen una lógica en el mundo y una presentación única y después los enemigos simplemente se presentan como cualquier otro enemigo, sin contexto, sin presentación particular, simplemente se aparecen y funcionan de las maneras más mundanas y mediocres.
    Aún así, debo decir que las armas y las mejoras que uno puede obtener de ellas son buenas, el problema es que muchas están en distintas localidades del mundo abierto y te requieren que te desvíes del camino, por un lado, y que por el otro, te enfoques en completar una serie de puzles bastante tediosos, es como si todo lo que no servía para las misiones principales se relego a estas localidades alternativas y opcionales.
    Atomic Heart es un juego muy variado, muy roto en el medio, es un juego que parece haber sido creado por dos grupos de diseñadores, unos que sabían lo que hacían, y el resto que estaba para sabotear ese trabajo. El combate funciona, pero no lo suficiente para cargar el resto del juego, el mundo abierto no tiene sentido y no es funcional de ninguna forma, los recursos que se gastaron en crearlo pudieron haberse invertido en crear un juego mucho mas enfocado y centralizado en afinar los elementos que hace bien.    … Expand

While the environment and setting of the game are undeniably impressive and breathtaking, and the music is nothing short of amazing, there are a number of flaws and issues that detract from the overall experience.

    The main issue lies in the story, dialog, and game-play loop. At first, the story appears intriguing and captivating, but as the game progresses, some of the characters and their motivations begin to feel nonsensical and random. It's evident that the later half of the game feels rushed and not well thought out. It's like a bright candle that slowly starts to fizzle out, leaving you wanting more.

    The dialog spoken by the main character you play as is also problematic. The protagonist is an unapologetic douchebag who is often unnecessarily rude to other characters who are trying to help him. This makes it hard to feel any real sense of tension in the story, as you are left feeling indifferent towards the unlikeable and bumbling character you control. While there are a few instances where his behavior leads to funny moments or jokes, these instances do little to make up for the overwhelming amount of time he spends being insufferable.

    The game's combat system, which is the primary aspect of the gameplay, is a mixed bag. While some aspects of the combat are excellent, others fall short. It appears as though the game is trying to blend the weapon swapping and movement mechanics of Doom Eternal with the powers of Bioshock. The enemies are fascinating and unique, but after a while, the repetitive nature of fighting them becomes boring. Many of the enemies are overly tanky, making them more of a nuisance than a real challenge (given I went through the game on the hardest difficulty). While the guns, powers, and weapons feel great to use, their impact on the enemies can sometimes feel underwhelming and disproportionate.

    Overall, while the game has some great features, such as the environment, music, and combat mechanics, the flawed story, dialog, and character development detract from the overall experience.    … Expand

    Atomic Heart is an ode to Soviet futurism, an ode to unfulfilled hopes. The developers tried to take the best from such games as Bioshock, Prey, Half-Life.

    Atomic Heart - A game with a unique style: beautiful, bewitching. And... That's it, that's all there is in this game.

    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.

    Completed the game on Armageddon difficulty with no deaths.    … Expand

    There are also death screens that are incredibly well done and your death screen is different every time you are killed by different enemy. Animators really did outstanding job (same for upgrade animations)! I just love small details like that. You can really see that developers put effort into making this game amazing to play. Love how you leave marks of damage on enemy robots from melee and range weapons. Decapitation and high lvl of gore is also present in this game that was well done. There are also upgrades in this game that can heavily impact your gameplay once you fully upgrade certain thing. Boss fight are very challenging and satisfying, which I didn't expect in fps game to be honest.

    There is also good amount of puzzles in this game, at start they are simple, but gradually they do become more challenging and interesting. It feels very rewarding once you solve the more challenging ones.

    Game atmosphere is incredible and makes game a very immersive experience. Story will make you wonder and keep you interested from start to finish. Main character and glove voice acting on Russian is great and also adds to immersion. I did also played it on English, at first VA was weak, but it did grow on me. But I do understand people who do not like it, therefore I strongly suggest Russian dub.

    Honestly, for this developers first game ever, this is incredible. I'm blown away. I will keep a close eye on Mundfish studio and their future projects.

    I warmly recommend this game to everyone.

    I’m proud that Russian developers can do such a wonderful game. And it is their first project.

    Absolute trash game, that steals ideas from Bioshock and turned them into unplayable s.... Stupid dialogue, poor shooting, lack of balance, low open world quality, like in indie on Unity for $5.

    A fantastic game that will find its player.

    Pros: The atmosphere, a plot full of nonsense, the grotesque, caricatured and clichéd depiction of the USSR, Prey 2017-style gameplay, cool cutscenes, and great visuals. Oh, and twins, of course ;)) Cons: Extremely uneven and steep difficulty curve, the graphics are beautiful but not perfect, occasional bugs, and most importantly, 90% of    A fantastic game that will find its player.

    Cons: Extremely uneven and steep difficulty curve, the graphics are beautiful but not perfect, occasional bugs, and most importantly, 90% of the references and jokes in the game will only be understood by residents of the USSR and/or the former CIS, or those who have somehow studied what was in the USSR. Additionally, many may be offended by seeing things that are not actually present. (I suggest studying posters from the Soviet era and not linking them to modern realities).

    My personal rating is 8.5 out of 10, but I rated it 10 out of 10 to compensate for negative reviews from offended individuals.    … Expand

    turned out above my expectations
    The introduction is ingenious in its detail and design.
    That's who the real game designers are, Ubisoft would be worth learning with their "copies of the world", not extolling anything new, although offering more volume.

    They obviously need a patch for FOV, Achievements, and some minor bugs. If your goal is to get another platinum – wait, you will not be able to complete all the Achievements right now.

    For the first game of the studio, the project is outstanding: it has huge artistic potential, the gameplay is immersive, and the battles are tense.

    The ugliest part is the dialogue: they tried to make the protagonist look stupid, but he is dumb, angry, rude, and constantly does things, that make you feel in a creep's shoes.    … Expand

    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.

    Исследование локаций: Причина, по которой эта игра стоит своего времени, крайне интересно наблюдать сублимированный в каждый миллиметр советский ретрофутуризм, так помимо визуала... Чего стоит музыка, известнейшие хиты СССР в том числе и с современными обработками. Побуждает к исследованию локаций ещё и интересные аудиодневнеки, например... Разговоры с трупами!

    Nothing special. Like many others are saying the combat feels very bland, the open world isn't really open, there's only like 6 enemy types in the whole game and it's very short for a full priced game.

    ATOMIC HEART is a modern masterpiece of games.
    They compare it with BioShock, but this game is better and better and more technologically advanced, so to speak, the best version of BioShock, plus a different style and presentation.

    We can say that the best game of recent years in the classic style of shooters, but higher in quality, from the creators of the old school of games and shooters.

    The most important thing is that unlike modern games, the game has excellent dialogues, without a lot of water.

    I don't know what else to say, the best games of recent years, in the spirit of BioShock, Half-Life 2 and other classic shooters.
    Yes, there is not enough physics in the game, this is not the Half-Life 2 level, but the levels themselves are excellent, the design, dialogues, narration, that's all from classic shooters, but with modern detail and graphics.
    And not from games in the spirit of Ubisoft games with unnecessary empty open worlds that are just filled with meaningless activities.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
