    It is a cheap parody of Bioshock, but this thrash won't reach the real innovative game, it's just a very bad clone of it.

    A fanservice clone of YouAreEmpty in the Fallout/AlienIsolation setting with diluted Bioshock-mechanics, seasoned with some of DyingLight and tLoU.
    Lazy puzzles, stupid platforming and f@99y dash, awful human-NPC design, copy-paste environment, but at least it's a single good game since the RE8 release.

    Imho this game is way better than Hogwarts Legacy, but because it doesn’t have as big fan base as Harry Potter “objective and incorruptible” game critics gave it nearly the same grade as to Forspoken that was one of the worst PlayStation exclusives!

I can remember empty shelves in stores, dental procedures without any painkillers (for communist's elite only) and a lot of propaganda, from every and each corner.

    What you currently see from russia, war, terrorism and nuclear statements and support of all this from russians, it's a direct result of long propaganda about great USSR, restoration of USSR and all the myths, how great it was and that it would be great country if not evil western countries.

    This game (from russian developers on russian moneys) serves exactly this purpose - deliver myths about great USSR, "the great country we've lost" to make people dream about restoration of this freaking ...hole with sadness, that such great future was ruined by evil west (just see modern russian propaganda on all tv channels).

    The cons:
    It's fairly buggy. Here's some of the bugs I encountered.
    - A save file had me loading and then immediately falling through the floor. Prior saves couldn't be loaded for some reason. Thankfully restarting the game resolved it but that could have been bad. - After crashing multiple times during a boss battle I lowered my graphic settings to low (on a 1070ti) and it resolved    The cons:
    It's fairly buggy. Here's some of the bugs I encountered.
    - A save file had me loading and then immediately falling through the floor. Prior saves couldn't be loaded for some reason. Thankfully restarting the game resolved it but that could have been bad.
    - After crashing multiple times during a boss battle I lowered my graphic settings to low (on a 1070ti) and it resolved that issue.
    - An NPC's character model became dislodged from his face and his neck stretched about 10 feet away. I could still see his eye balls and gum/teeth models inside of his head.
    - After choosing a skill tree perk of "gain more loot when killing frozen enemies", I noticed that the humanoid shaped enemies would leave no loot at all when they were killed while frozen, as their corpse disintegrates into ice cubes. This defeated the point of aquiring that perk.
    - During the final boss battle the enemies became stuck in place after defeating them, forcing me to restart and beat them again.
    - I became stuck in the map while climbing out of a pool multiple times.
    - I defeated a puzzle in a way they hadn't intended, which kept me from exiting the puzzle until I had completed it.

    Other cons: During an early dungeon you have to solve a puzzle and then immediately fight a pretty tough boss. If you died you have to re-solve the puzzle which was easy but time consuming, and no way to save in between. I died about 7 times to this boss, doing a 4 minute puzzle 7 times in a row was very cumbersome.
    - Although controls are mappable, quick time events are hard locked to use Q, E, F and spacebar. I'm a dinosaur that uses arrow keys to move so it was a chore to move my hand over and find those keys in a timely fashion, and missing just one button press resulted in death.
    - There is a ledge climbing/shuffling mechanic which works well enough but it's really slow and becomes a chore if you fall and have to re-do sections.

    The combat is pretty fun but it relies heavily on melee combat. The melee combat is fairly good overall, despite what others have said I felt like the weapons had impact and feedback. The downside is that dodging is an essential part of combat and it becomes extremely easy to get caught on little corners of items around you, making you get stuck in place and hit. It also became very frustrating during segment with multiple enemies that have the ability to knock you down, as you'd sometimes get caught in a string of knockdowns and unable to do much else.

    On to the pros:
    - This is just a very unique and overall fun game. Combat is generally fun aside from the nagging issues I mentioned, I wish it had featured gunplay over melee. At times you'd come across an area where it was just a couple of enemies at first and then more would join in and the music would ramp up and become louder and it all just worked really well to make combat enjoyable. Kind of felt a little like Doom 2016 at times with the dodging and shooting/hitting, waiting for powers to cooldown, etc.
    - This game has the coolest looting mechanic to date, you simply hold a button down and it hoovers up all the loot in the area that you're looking at. It's fun to watch doors and shelves fly open and that loot get hoovered right up.
    - Skill trees allow you various abilities such as a cryogenic jet which freezes enemies, Shok which shocks them and stuns them, polymer cannon which covers them in goo and can enhance other damage types, a temporary shield, and telekenesis which allows you to pick enemies up into the air. If you want to reset your skills there's no penalty for doing so.
    - Guns can be upgraded and you can find attachments for them that improve stats or change functionality.
    - The environmental puzzles are good enough to be a stand alone game. There are several "testing ground" areas where you solve a series of puzzles or win fights and there are bronze, silver and gold weapon upgrades as you proceed through each stage of the dungeon. Even though I had completed the story I went back just to complete all of the testing grounds because I enjoy puzzles.
    - Speaking of puzzles many locked doors require a small and simple puzzle to be completed, usually clicking things to a certain timing or simple rotational puzzles, they were never very difficult.
    - The story was interesting and fairly unique i'll leave it at that to avoid spoilers.
    - Voice acting is good and the main character is relatable for a change, I often laughed at his jokes or insults, at times he did come across a bit whiny at times but overall the dialogue and back-and-forth with other characters was enjoyable.

    All in all I really enjoyed my time with the game. If you become quickly frustrated with bugs you might wait until they patch it up a little more    … Expand

The majority of the game is spent indoors where the game runs flawlessly.

    The game is let down by a very unlikeable protagonist, an outdoor area that's so full to the brim with enemies that you're never given a chance to explore and a confusing, poorly written script. The game also has the most puzzles I have ever experienced in a video game, they're non stop and repeated throughout the entire game, it felt like every door had a locking mechanism that required you to do another puzzle, it became very tiresome.

    Gameplay was solid for the most part, with plenty of upgrades and unlocks to hunt for, but at times the game liked sending an overwhelming amount of enemies your way which just felt odd, at times it felt like a horde shooter which Atomic Heart definitely isn't.

    Overall I enjoyed my time with the game and I appreciate how well it runs after playing a slew of AAA titles that suffer from stuttering and poor optimisation. With a little work a potential sequel could be truly great.    … Expand

    The game is a quite boring Bioshock clone with tons of cheap pseudosoviet aesthetics, as if you were in a tankie's wet dream

    Футуристический СССР и в целом лор игры проработаны хорошо, в игре очень много различных сайд-историй, которые можно узнать из текстовых терминалов и записывающих устройств (хотя, местами, их бывает ОЧЕНЬ много). Встречаются различные отсылки и просто приколы, вписаны они в игру хорошо и глаз от кринжа не режут.

    Геймплей сильно напоминает Prey 2017 года — нужно много лутать, крафтить, собирать себе снаряжение и готовиться к файтам самостоятельно. Для крафта доступна куча оружия + различные умения, которые в процессе игры можно менять по своему вкусу - любые ресурсы, затраченные на что-либо, можно вернуть обратно, отказавшись от предмета/способности, что позволяет перепробовать все доступные в игре абилки/оружие.

    Боевка достаточно динамичная, часто требуется комбинировать использование оружия и способностей, присутствует система уклонений (правда, примитивненькая). Но всё это полноценно прочувствовать можно только на максимальном уровне сложности, на низком/среднем враги практически не представляют опасности и их можно просто перестрелять.

    Босс-файты - нормальные, но ничего особенного. Порой были даже легче, чем обычные волны противников в открытом мире или на сюжетных локациях.

    Сайд-квесты достаточно однообразные, представляют собой лутание экспериментальных полигонов, на которых можно найти ресурсы и чертежи для крафта. К сожалению, они все сводятся к +- одним и тем же действиям и содержат в себе много платформинга, что, на мой взгляд, скорее минус. Загадки в них тоже очень однообразные. Иногда там могут быть мини-боссы.

    Багов в игре практически не встречал, разве что единичные застревания (но выбраться всегда удавалось) и прерывания диалогов (надеюсь, это пофиксят, т.к. бесило просто ужасно).

    Левел-дизайн местами вызывает вопросы — он бывает порой совсем неинтуитивен, типа того же входа в Театр — кто играл, думаю, поймёт.

    В целом, отличный экспириенс, с удовольствием провёл время.

    P.S. По продолжительности игра занимает где-то 20 часов с учётом всех сайд-квестов.    … Expand

    Atomic Heart is a really conflicted game. During my entire playthrough, the processes it went through during development was so clear to see. Some things really feel like they're there just because they can be.

    Let's begin with a weird topic: NORA. This is a horny fridge that sexually harasses the main character P-3 whenever he interacts with it. And it is so easy to see that it was a    Atomic Heart is a really conflicted game. During my entire playthrough, the processes it went through during development was so clear to see. Some things really feel like they're there just because they can be.

    Let's begin with a weird topic: NORA. This is a horny fridge that sexually harasses the main character P-3 whenever he interacts with it. And it is so easy to see that it was a last minute addition because the developers realized that people are mainly buying it for the "hot robots." There are some evidences towards this:
    1. They forgot to replace the subtitles P-3 and Charles have after meeting NORA. P-3 says NORA but the subtitles stay as fridge.
    2. P-3 talks like every fridge is NORA but NORA only appears at specific parts of the game to introduce some elements.
    3. Granny Zina talks about the fridge in her house like it's the only fridge unlike P-3's "girlfriend" NORA, but that default voice fridge has been all throughout the game.

    But NORA isn't the only last minute addition. There are parkour mechanics in the game. At the beginning there's a cool place that utilizes it, but after it not only do you see it so little, mostly they're just pointless. There's an entire parkour area that just lead you to the same room you started in. It might be a joke but feels more like they just forgot to put something there.

    Apart from the healing items (which you get ridiculous amounts of throughout the game), there are also food items. Only two of them though, as far as I could find. And not only are there so little of them, they start appearing only like halfway through the game. Why? Because they could put it in the game. They don't even give good bonuses.

    The main character is annoying. He never shuts up and says some of the most stupid things. Like, no one is going to start saying "crispy critters" bro, trust me. And at the very beginning of the game, apparently after that crash he goes unconscious for 2 days with no one looking after him. And while all that, not only did he not get killed by one of the thousands of robots wandering the area, he also survived without any food or water and is completely capable of killing hundreds more? And despite being a loudmouth, he never even mentions all the time he's missed? Really?

    The plasmid... I mean polymer abilities suck. There are 3 offensive and 2 defensive ones and that's it. Shok is the basic one you get at the start and it's the only one you'll ever need. Others are so pointless. There are 3 elements in the game; electric, cold, and fire. The Frosbite polymer sucks but why is there no ability for the fire element? There are already too little abilities, why not add one more? Abilities cost so little but they're just useless, you don't need any of them.

    The lore of the game, despite being a little cliche, was interesting to investigate. It got me invested in the game at the start. But the story being as stale as it is immediately crushed it for me. Eventually I stopped reading through journals and just walked by them. Been looking forward to some of the twists, most did happen but they couldn't be executed any worse.

    The biggest problem the game has, I think, is that it has no soul. Everything about it feels as empty as the robots you're fighting. It is sadly painfully mediocre, but weirdly not that bad. It looks great and is probably one of the most well optimized modern games of this era. The environments look beautiful, and weapon hit detection is great for most guns. Thankfully it came to gamepass day 1 though, because I would be pretty furious that I spent money for it.    … Expand

    Crashes? I had none so far. I'm like 8 hours in or so. 10/10
    Epicness - 12/10, man, I wish they had VR version for this

    Main character - 5/10, obnoxious honestly, wish they changed most of his uncalled comebacks.

    Upgrades - 6/10, good, not really pushing for more experimentation. You find something that works and kinda don't feel like trying other options.

    Art style - 11/10. Loved retro futuristic USSR.

    Gameplay overall - 8/10, overall is good. I wish they made main character faster.

    Dialogues - 5/10, mostly between main character and glove, that part at least could use more refine.

    Combat - 8/10, more satisfying when you get more guns on your hands, melee could use more combos.

    Story - 7/10, basically red alert kinda asylum.

    English dub - 6/10, it's ok, but could use Russian accent to help immersion.

    Puzzles - from 6 to 8. has lame ones, has smart ones, mostly good.

    Music - 10/10, soviet remixes kick ass.

    AI Pathfinding - 5/10, it's fun to watch tho. Prolly will get fixed.

    Characters - 7/10, mostly good, but everyone could use more development honestly.

    Bosses - 8/10, almost all bosses worked for me.

    Crazyness - freaking asylum 10/10

    Thiccness - lawd have mercy 9/10

    Enemies art design in general - 10/10

    Worth your time? 8/10, speaking generally it will take you for a ride you didn't get in a while. It's not perfect, some parts could use more polish, other parts take the breath away.

    Uniqueness? 9/10, pretty unique for latest tendencies'

    Tech issues:
    Crashes? I had none.
    FOV - should be adjustable from start, coming in next patch.
    CCs size - scheduled for fixes. Very small font so can't really enjoy Russian dub + CCs for immersion at start.

    Ray Tracing - coming in next patch, removed at start.

    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.
