    Atomic Heart is both an awesome and annoying game, never ending ciphers that are not necessary from a gameplay perspective, and looting that is fun for the first 5h then it becomes a necessity rather than an interesting mechanic. Beautiful graphics and awesome music are constantly broken by going from point A to point B which are far away without any interesting points in between.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра хорошая, провел в нем 21 час. Ремиксы наших любимых песен просто топ. А что касается боевки, она хорошая, игра заставляет использовать все оружия для борьбы против Вовчиков и тд. а чего стоят Элеонора и ее похотливые шуточки. А что касается главного героя, маты летят как у "сапожника" что очень "похоже" на русско-говорящих людей. Графику тоже отметить, для некстген игры она очень приятна. К покупке игру советую. Expand

    Mundfish really did a great work on this game, especially this is their first AAA-game, pretty good gameplay, banger soundtrack (soviet music with doom-style heavy riffs), fantastic optimisation, found some similarities with prey 2017 (loved the opening scene in both games)

    An interesting game with a certain amount of humor, action, and puzzles. It looks just awesome. I think the scores of players from Russia and the CIS will be higher as the environment, music and some of the scenery evoke cultural nostalgia. After all, even people born after the collapse of the USSR remember some moments from their childhood.

    I have read a lot of comments and am amazed at the ignorance. While focusing on one negative thing, most people simply ignore the rest. It looks like an attempt to deliberately lower one's grade, but not one's personal opinion. On top of that, they are closing access from Russia to metacritic.com. The whole thing is just the standard of bias.

There is no nuance to its story and the dialogue falls over itself (and overtop of other dialogue with its poor sound design). I feel its controversy helped blind people from the faults of this game. Combat is lack luster, the looting system is okay, and the characters are just bland. Its strongest aspects are its art design and its music. Even for music though it doesn't fit the tone that this game wants to present, or at least tries to present. While Mick's ost is great as always, I think the game is strongest when it relies on classical pieces to elevate the tone of the game. Overall the game has been done and is very uninspiring. Expand

    This is the first game to actually impress me with its visuals this new generation. The gameplay and progression is top tier. The game starts with a Half Life style rail scene, moves into a Resident evil Style Survival Horror Underground section and emerges into a open world Far Cry style map..It honestly one of the most impressive FPS game I've played in years..
    Not only is the game stunningly gorgeous but it runs very smooth. There a grear progression tree , heaps of cool weopens and a great crafting system that makes you want to collect items. Combat is insane and fun requiring skill as well as reflexes and the story is one of the best stories I seen in a game since Nier Automata..Really impressive title.

    Перчатка озвученная голосом Леонида Белозоровича, буземно радует слух.

    В целом для первой отечественной ААА игры - это браво и аплодисменты.

    Спасибо Mundfish, я безумно рад сказать что российский игропром ни то что не умер, а еще может дать леща конкурентам рынка и уложить их.

    Про оптимизацию отдельный пункт, игра выходит и без 1 патча работает стабильно не на ТОПовой сборке, такое не могут нынче никто, даже АААА проекты ;)

    Жду сюжетные DLC и другие проекты от вас ребят, спасибо!

    This game is a mashup of Dying Light and Bioshock, just with tonnes of bugs, terrible dialogue, a story that does not make a lot of sense. The real downfall is the gameplay that just makes this a grind. A locker that has a shelf, but you need to aim at the top and bottom to get both (one of the many mechanics taken from Techland's Dying Light 1 which they abandoned for 2). Or areas the devs did not want you to go being instant death without any decent reason or markings. This is ultimately frustrating as with a good game design this could have been pure magic.

    Atomic Heart is a 4/10, but due to Meta interfering with the score they get a 5.

Наиграл 22 часа, аккуратно, неспешно и ещё не прошел. Сразу стоит отметить атмосферу с первых минут игры, да, это прям заставляет немного кайфануть с происходящего. Дальше геймплей, по сути это биошок на сссрский лад. Физика ударов проработана отлично, следы от ударов остаются на броне роботов как нужно. Геймплей не наскучил: изначально в комплексе, затем более менее открытый мир с возможностью опять погружаться в подземные комплексы ради дополнительного лута и прокачки своего оружия. И все эти перемещения происходят снова под отличное музыкальное сопровождение и на машине времён советского союза. Играл на максимальной сложности, умер пару раз, основные проблемы возникали именно с боссами(запоминать нужно их атаки). Итого по геймплею: рубится весело(за все время не надоело, разве что уже перед самым концом когда хотелось получить все модификации для оружия), играется хорошо, без фризов, графика отличная если выкрутить четкость на "2" в настройках и играть в 2 или 4к. Во время игры как таковых крупных багов мешающих геймплею или прохождению не обнаружено, однако мелкие баги(текстуры мобов взлетают, исчезают или ещё как-то печально взаимодействуют). Считаю что мои ожидания оправдались и полностью подтверждены, даже лучше (как обычно думал что будет проблема с оптимизацией, но разработчики просто убрали на релизе ртх и все отлично). Сильно ли изменится картинка с ртх? Думаю нет, ибо отражения, во всяком случае в первой локации проработаны хорошо, поначалу даже подумал что ртх есть... Но увы, пока его нет как и изменения поля зрения. Как по мне это несущественные недочёты и я ставлю крепкую 10-ку. Ах да, некоторые индивиды ставят игре низкую оценку потому что это СССР, Россия, пропаганда. И находят всякие банки тушёнки, роботов-дронов и "раны" на животных что бы поставить низкий рейтинг игре. Так вот, таким скажу лишь одно: свинья везде грязь найдет. Expand

    Aside of nice concept art and graphics - there's nothing there. Game is locked with FOV from CRT 4:3 era, there's forced mouse acceleration which make it vomit inducing for anyone prone to motion sickness - but ofc devs don't give a **** about any adaptability.

    Writing is absolute cringe, on similar level as Forspoken with evenly terrible cocky and braindead protagonist. All other characters are also equally insufferable.

    Lastly gameplay - it's unbalanced and painfully boring with how spongy it is, with iffy hitboxes, terrible melee and some obnoxious mechanics as fixer robots.

    Atomic Heart is a game that promises a lot but delivers very little. Massive disappointment, may be even the biggest in 2023 as I had some decent hopes for this one with how rare story FPS games have become. If not FOV and mouse acceleration - I'd probably give it 6, but with these two problems it's just spit in the face to PC gamers and 4/10 is about as much as it deserves.

    Графика: Похожа на Dying Light 2, не плохая но и не увау, просто хорошая графика. 7/10

    Геймплей:
    1) Замки, самая душная механика игры, да замки разнообразные, но их так много, что иногда хотелось нажать alt+f4 и удалить игру. 2/10
    2) Система лутинга, это лучшая система лутинга которую я только видел, после этого я не смогу лутаться в других играх, нажатием одной кнопки за секунду лутаете все что есть в комнате и не нужно подходить к каждому ящику и лутать их по отдельности. 10/10
    3) Динамика, игра динамичная и это не плохо, драки быстрые, эпичные. 8/10
    4) Сканер, каждая сущность помечается красным цветом, помимо врагов есть и животные, которые также помечаются красным цветом, каждый раз вы будете думать что там враг, а это просто корова. 4/10
    5) Прокачка, прокачка большая не душная, если вы прокачали одну ветку знаний, а позже захотели другую, старую ветку можно откатить, это очень удобно, не надо начинать игру сначала. 8/10
    6) Уровень тревоги, работает как звезды в GTA, думаю объяснять не надо. 5/10
    7) Мир, типичный Assassin's Creed или Far Cry. 5/10
    Геймплей: 6/10

    Музыка, в двух словах, музыка заебись. 10/10

    Сюжет, сюжет слабенький. Сюжет банальный, в СССР нашли новое вещество "Полимер", с его помощью построили роботов. Ну и как неожиданно случился сбой и роботы начали всех убивать. Играете вы за военного дурака, который выполняет каждый каприз недоученого, который спас вам жизнь после войны. 4/10

    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.

    The biggest problem with the game lies in its story and gameplay. The plot is extremely convoluted and unclear, and the gameplay feels monotonous and boring, making the game difficult to play for a long time. Additionally, the game contains many unclear elements and interactions with characters, which does not add to its interest and variability.

    Overall, I cannot recommend Atomic Heart as a game worth your time and attention. If you are looking for a quality game with good graphics and engaging gameplay, you should pay attention to other games.

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. You waste A TON of time doing **** and useless things while trying to navigate all the bugs and issues in the game. Atomic Heart is not a good game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Atomic Heart offers many positive aspects that make it an enjoyable experience. Firstly, the campaign is well-constructed and gives players a satisfying feeling of accomplishment. The story is engaging and easy to follow until the end of the game when the hand AI becomes the villain. The guns in the game feel great to use, and resources are easy to obtain, which makes for a smooth gameplay experience. The gameplay itself is fun and exciting, with interesting boss fights, despite some glitches that affected the game's performance. The character development is also fantastic, with the protagonist P3 being a standout character due to his cocky yet humorous personality. Additionally, the open-world setting and the narrative placement are intriguing, and the game manages to blend elements from other popular games like Wolfenstein and BioShock into something unique. Finally, the character Granny stands out for her heart and her role in helping the protagonist.

    However, the game also has several negative aspects that detract from the overall experience. The gameplay can become repetitive, and boss fights can take an excessive amount of time, sometimes over an hour at the beginning of the game . The game also suffers from bugs that can affect the gameplay and cause crashes. The robot chainsaws are also not enjoyable to kill and they are annoying AF. While the open-world aspect of the game looks cool, it feels more linear and Hands-On. The game can also overload players with too many enemies, leading to performance issues and even crashes on my computer and on xbox. Finally, the sexy robot voice box crafting new items and you have to wait until it's done making the created item can become annoying and disrupt the flow of the game.

    In summary, Atomic Heart offers an enjoyable campaign with engaging characters and an interesting narrative placement. The gameplay is fun and exciting, with great gun and melee weapons mechanics and accessible resources. However, the game suffers from repetitive gameplay, lengthy boss fights, bugs, and other issues that can detract from the experience. Despite these drawbacks, the game remains an engaging and entertaining experience overall.

Played on PC, medium skill gamer, started on medium difficulty then switched to hard for better experience.
    For anyone out there reading this - ignore other reviews that contain "bad optimization" (on PC; that might be a thing on consoles, I have no idea) and "soviet propaganda", since the game runs great and once you play the game and finish it you'll see what the story is really about.

    Well optimized beautiful game with good gameplay. Good story, strong role of main character, yet awkward voice acting (Filatova is bad in Russian) from time to time and lots of references and easter eggs for ethnical post-soviet players that makes poking around in notes, messages and audios much more interesting. Ambient music is good, combat music is great yet some gameplay stutters at large combat areas makes it stop, that's frustrating.
    Sidenote. Beating around the bush about sex is just great way to go to make fun of ideological facade of society. You may find it misplaced, I find it hilarious.
    Great game. 9/10. My score is based on fact that I'm ethnical Russian, your experience may vary.
    PS: I have no idea why does so many reviews compares it to BioShock, since there's nothing common between these two games except somewhat retro-futuristic setting and combat "powers".

    Отличная оптимизация, хороший геймплей и отлично срежисированная история. Сюжет хороший, но возможно не хватает развития в первой половине игры. Окружение и мир созданы с большим вниманием к деталям. Главный герой отыгрывает свою роль отлично. Российская озвучка великолепная, кроме Филатовой. Игра захватывает внимание. 9/10.

    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.

    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.
