    Игра просто супер. Графика загляденье, боевка балдеж и самое главное атмосфера игры впечатляющая. Игру сделали русские разработчики, поэтому ей ставят нули обиженки и снежинки из твитеров, ризетер и прочие на голову поехавшие меньшинства. А игра получилась топ, без всяких тупорылых толерастических примочек.Игра просто супер. Графика загляденье, боевка балдеж и самое главное атмосфера игры впечатляющая.

    Atomic Heart is a game I was excited to finally play, but went in with low expectations considering how long it was in the oven. The end result is easily one of the best games I have played this year and an experience I recommend everyone dig into. It won’t be for everyone, but for those that it is for it will be an amazing experience.
    Very good game!

    I was blown by all this love and care that was put into recreating all the little details of soviet aesthetic: from great music, to things like vending machine, serving sparkling water or lemonade. And the cherry on top was the whole style and humour of this game. I suppose it might seem vulgar for somebody, but I absolutely loved finally seeing this kind of humour and beautiful characters in AAA game oriented for Western market.

    Overall, this game left me absolutely satisfied, and I'm happy all this waiting paid off really well. 10/10    … Expand

    Die Musik passt prägnant ins Spiel , da sie den russischen Geist richtig widerspiegelt. In den Kampfszenen wird temperamentvolles Metall gespielt, das den Kämpfen Antrieb und Spaß gibt.

    Fazit : Dieses Spiel ist definitiv Ihre Aufmerksamkeit wert , es sei denn , Sie sind sicherlich mit Russophobie und "Preiselbeeren" getränkt .    … Expand

Это игра первый серьезный проект Mundfish, странные рекламные решения, выход игры в СНГ только в VKplay, слухи о плохой оптимизации, сеттинг - ведь в наше время можно видеть только плохие аспекты СССР.
    Но игра смогла меня приятно удивить. Приятный геймплей, возможность использовать весь арсенал, а не необходимость носиться в поисках патронов, к понравившемуся виду оружия. Видов врагов много, они не надоедают. Сеттинг используется как любовная открытка советской науке и тем мечтам, которые она возлагала на будущее. Отсылки сделаны сугубо для людей из СНГ, на западе их и близко никто не поймет. Музыка просто прекрасна, если бы еще мою любимую “Звенит январская вьюга” переделали, я был бы в шоке. Посмотрев видео о создании музыки, от GeoffPlaysGuitar, я увидел, что ребята реально были заряжены сделать классно. Ну и Мик Гордон молодец. Графика и оптимизация это ОБРАЗЕЦ для современных рукожопов, которые, почему то называют себя разработчиками AAA-игр.
    Из спорных моментов - сексуализация, я понимаю еще на западе люди жалуются. Там полный отрыв от реальности, со всеми леволиберальными ценностями и женщины в их играх теперь это аморфное нечто, но игроки и игрожур из России, вы то блин куда?))) Если у вас нет психических отклонений на сексуальной почве и вы в принципе взрослый человек, вы будете воспринимать замки в этой игре как забавный прикол, а роботов близняшек как фан сервис в каком нибудь аниме, не более. Ну а если вам может нанести душевную травму нимфоманка станция по прокачке оружия - повзрослейте или забейтесь в угол своей квартирки и никогда не выходите на улицу, там такое можно встретить уууу. Мат-перемат, а то тут у нас все такие эстеты собрались, прям иду по улице/университету/общественным местам и никогда не слышу мата, а тут ну прям не могу. Предъявлять игре минусы из разряда сексуализации, мата, пропаганды - по меньшей мере, лицемерие.
    Открытый мир - он тут в принципе не нужен, а от роботов в нем проще убежать, чем сражаться. Если бы игра была линейной ей бы пошло это на пользу. Иногда не понятно когда будет сражение с боссом и что лучше с собой к нему захватить, у меня была ситуация когда мне пришлось заваливать сражение и идти меня экипировку т.к. нечего другого не оставалось. Сюжет тут второстепенный и скорее едет на сеттинге, но дарит ярких персонажей и прикольные моменты так, что он на несколько голов выше многих последних западных проектов аля returnal и прочих.
    По большому счету игра на 8 из 10 и если у неё будет сиквел разработчики наверняка смогу сделать все идеально. Выражаю огромную благодарность всем разработчикам и желаю учесть все объективные проблемы с геймплеем и сюжетом. Ждем DLC!

Also bloated open spaces where there is ABSOLUTELY nothing to do, they are literally empty, all you can do there is run into a new bunch of opponents. The game certainly has its advantages. Interesting and colorful characters, interesting setting, lore and the story itself, but the main character is stuffy and not interesting at all, just a talking box through which we interact with the world and characters. In short, something like this. This is my subjective opinion, and I believe that this game deserves a maximum rating of 3 points.… Expand

    The game is beautiful, combat are ok, the game is full of ideas. But the writing is so bad, that it was even hard to finish the game. It's never funny, the main protagonist is very annoying, and everything seems to be written by horny teenagers.
    Plus, the game never slow down, it goes very fast, even in dialogue delivery, you feel always attacked by everything.

    There are many references, for example, to "well, wait"
    4. Very cool fighting woman Zina at the beginning (I hope everything is normal with her, since I played a little and I don't know what's wrong with her)
    5. Very cool loot system, I personally liked it. it's better than just walking up to the box, press F and that's it, and here are some cool animations of it.
    6. And of course sex.Robots are probably the best !
    Of the minuses:
    1. It's a little expensive so 1500 UAH for a regular edition
    Changed:
    I have never supported the Russian Federation, if you think that I bought the game and everything became a zombie, then I'm sorry. I have always been and will be for Ukraine.
    Stop writing that I am from Ukraine and bought it and supported the purchase of missiles.
    You have already become with this topic for games or music, like those who say "8 years dammed the Donbass", you are the same, you have one stuck "There you bought a Russian. the game, you supported the murder or you're listening to Ross. "you're a traitor" is enough.

    You can continue to write out here that I rooster supported rashka and so on.
    I will not delete the review, I will not close the comments either.

    Which is absolutely hilarious as Hogwarts Legacy is literally everything this game IS NOT.

    Writing:
    - This game's story is the definition of a placeholder. In fact, its just a bunch of MacGuffins instead to drive you from location to location.
    - Saying that the main "protagonist" is unlikable would be an understatement. Absolutely unrelatable, as he realizes what's happening several hours after the player does. The dumb lines he throws are all over the place (in this regard the game took over Forespoken BY FAR). It is quite noticeable the writers had very little idea what they wanted him to be, besides being 1) a some "KGB officer" (the Chekhov's gun never shot) 2) a "brutal" man (so they come up with a 11-years old boy in an adult body).
    - The "humor" in this game... Well, if you would laugh on somebody slipping on a banana skin, there is a chance you will appreciate some of it.

    Gameplay:
    - The "open world" (I would rather call it "open space") is absolutely empty and pointless. Clearly added only to tick the checkbox for "the modern audience".
    - After several hours in, fights and enemies become so repetitive and boring.

    Other
    - No FOV slider - this will make some players feel sick on regular monitors and is absolutely unplayable on ultra-wide.

    Summary
    You can clearly see that huge money were put into the game, but it's a shiny (and fairly well-polished) shell with nothing nearly pleasant inside. What was in advertisement stayed there. Would have never bough it even for 20 bucks and selling it for 60$.. it must be yet another cringy joke from the writers.

    I would advice everyone not to get hooked on the adds and trailers and just stay away from this piece of software.    … Expand

No, however the creators didn't lie when they said the game has heavy inspiration from bioshock.

The game features a unique setting with a distinctive atmosphere, and the nostalgia-inducing elements, such as Soviet-era cars, architecture, and culture, add an extra layer of charm to the game.

The game features a unique setting with a distinctive atmosphere, and the nostalgia-inducing elements, such as Soviet-era cars, architecture, and culture, add an extra layer of charm to the game.

    While the shooting mechanics of Atomic Heart could use some improvement, the game's closed locations are well designed and provide an enjoyable and action-packed gameplay experience. Additionally, obtaining new weapon blueprints can feel like a bit of a chore, but the game's unique atmosphere and storyline make up for the shortcomings in the gameplay mechanics.

    One of the standout features of Atomic Heart is its soundtrack, which features popular songs with a distinctly Russian vibe, such as "Arlekino" by Pugacheva, "Trava u doma" by Zemlyane, and classic animated series "Nu, pogodi!". These cultural elements add to the game's authenticity and create a unique and immersive experience for players.

    Moreover, the inclusion of Soviet-era cars, such as the "Moskvich," adds to the game's overall appeal. As someone who has a personal connection to the car, seeing it in the game brought back many fond memories and added an extra layer of nostalgia and sentimentality to my gameplay experience.

    Overall, while Atomic Heart has its drawbacks, it is still a highly recommended game for players who are looking for a unique and captivating gaming experience. The game's incorporation of cultural elements, nostalgic elements, and the overall atmosphere make up for its flaws, providing an enjoyable and immersive gameplay experience.    … Expand

    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.

The combat feels good in terms of fluidity but it can become a bit stale after a while. Definitely need to keep on top of upgrades and abilities to keep it fresher and be able to compete with stronger enemies. I personally don't mind the protagonist as a character; it can be hard for some to relate to him but once you realize he's a product of his environment, it makes more sense why he is the way he is. The dialogue can be pretty rough though which I think is the game's biggest flaw. Switch to Russian and use subtitles and problem is solved though. Story-wise it's not bad, maybe a little predictable at times but still interesting. The game itself is gorgeous and the art style is wonderful. The character models are great, especially for the more obscure robot types. It also runs very well from a performance standpoint which is very refreshing compared to other games lately.

    I've run into a couple of bugs so far including getting stuck between objects and not being able to get out and the NORA machine's menu not popping up as well as not being able to get out of that screen. Forced me to either reload a previous save or relaunch the game all together. Also, a robot fell halfway through the floor and couldn't get out. If they can fix these bugs and put a little more polish on it in general, I think this game has the potential to be a 9/10.

    If you're a fan of its predecessors like BioShock, the newer Doom games, Wolfenstein... etc., you'll love this game. If you want an open-world game like most other games these days, then you probably won't. Contrary to popular belief, this is not an open-world game and never claimed to be. It is a narrative experience with larger open areas and has a linearity associated with that genre (like its predecessors) that helps keep the player engaged in the story and not distracted by other locations and rinse and repeat side quests.

    Giving this game a 10/10 because of all the review bombers. A solid game from Mundfish as their first AAA IP they've released!    … Expand

    1. Нет 50% звуков окружений, как в катсценах, так и непосредственно в игре.
    Например: лифт бабы зины падает без звука, но с искрами. Предметы поднятые телекинезом ударяются с эффектами разрушений/частиц , но так же без звука. И так до бесконечности.
    2. Частые вылиты без ошибок и сомнительная оптимизация. Мыльноватая игра в 60 фпс - это не оптимизация.
    3. У НПС одинаковые лица, а стартовая локация которая должна подарить вам атмфосферу, фулл забита каким-то абсурдным безумием. Вспомните роботов на беговой дорожке в самом начале игры, и то, что перед ними на ТРЁХ мониторах. Какие, ****Ь, заблокированные двери и потерянный к ним доступ?)))
    4. ГГ - былдо. Очень глупое, карикатурное и стереотипное. Его действия, слова и мысли не согласуются друг с другом. Самый простой пример: ГГ считает чуть ли не честью работать на главного учёного. При этом, такого же работягу как он, он презирает, т.к. тот "шестёрка". Лол, что?)
    5. Абсолютно напрочь убитая логика. На двери висит замок, но он ФИЗИЧЕСКИ ни как дверь не закрывает. При этом, пока ты его не снимешь, ты по какой-то причине не можешь просто потянуть дверь на себя.
    6. До абсурда безмозглый ИИ. В катсценах вовчики устраивают хитрые ловушки и садистки убивают людей. В игре, они застревают в дверном проёме, бегая туда-сюда, пока ты не спровоцируешь его атаковать тебя в ударом.

    Этот список можно продолжать долго. И это впечатление от первых двух часов игры.

    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.
