    Atomic Heart es un shooter al más puro estilo Bioshock, pero esta vez ambientado en la unión soviética de los años 50, aunque con una gran diferencia, pues un descubrimiento científico ha dado lugar a una gran revolución científica que ha llevado al país a convertirse en una sociedad totalmente robotizada.

    Nos encontramos ante un gran videojuego sobre todo en su atmósfera y en su jugabilidad. Los jefes son variados y con un buen desafío, aunque hay que destacar como punto negativo que algunos de ellos son auténticas esponjas de balas.
    Sus buenos gráficos en sinergia con su hermoso estilo artístico consiguen una atmósfera única que en ciertos momentos es sobrecogedora. La escultura y arquitectura de los años 50 está muy presente y en todo momento logra hacernos creer que estamos en una URSS futurista.
    Una de las mejores cosas de esta obra es su magnífica presentación.
    La historia es su gran punto débil ya que, sin ser mala, ni mucho menos, es una historia que no sorprende, con pocos personajes realmente memorables, giros de guion predecibles y diálogos flojos.
    El juego cuenta con algunos bugs molestos, pero ninguno de ellos preocupante. Su optimización en pc es muy buena, pero cuenta con el sistema antipiratería Denuvo lo que siempre es un lastre.    … Expand

    If you do play it though, just play on the easiest difficulty. None of the enemies are challenging to fight, and they just get more bullet spongy at higher difficulties, which just makes killing them take way too long.    … 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.

    First of all, I want to say that the graphics and art direction are excellent here. But the gameplay and game mechanics are very crooked and weak. The open world doesn't work at all.

    I am sure that many who give the game postive score have not played the game at all.

Definitely has bioshock vibes and the art style is cool but gameplay is repetitive and boring. Story wise I can already tell what’s gonna happen 3 hours in nothing special. Main character isn’t somebody you can really relate to. Way to edgy all the time.

    For their first game mundfish did a good job I’ll say that, it also takes a lot to impress me. It’s better than most of the AAA **** that comes out nowadays from major studies. Overall just wait till it goes on sale if you want to play it. Not that amazing and it’s flaws start to show very early on in the game.    … Expand

    This game might have the worst FPS combat I encountered in a long time, is very unclean, chaotic, unfun, with waves and waves of endless enemies and there are even robots that can repair other robots and undo all your combat progress in that specific combat sequence. It's just unbalanced, and the enemies themselves are so fing frustrating to fight is like they really tried very hard to make this game as unfun as possible. You get a silly dodge which often gets you stuck in some textures after performing it, weapons doesn't feel that great and also the bosses design is pretty bad. Don't even make me start on the story and character development in this game, and the dumb, cringe and unlikable main character. It's like the story was written in the bathroom break of GoW Ragnarok or somethis is really really awful. Cinematics look funny and not in a good way. I don't understand the choice of making this game open world, it's very bad in that aspect with a lot of recycled content. The only good part about the gameplay was looting, which was satisfying, other than that is pretty shallow. Oh, and it was a pretty buggy experience too. So overall I definitely cannot recommend this game.    … Expand

    I really wanted to like Atomic Heart. I am a sucker when it comes to sci fi dystopian worlds. But the one thing that really held this game back was everything just felt such a drag. Its like everything just took an unnecessary long time. Normally you come across a puzzle and its complete and move on. Atomic Heart is more complete, complete again with extra steps another 2 or 3 times. ButI really wanted to like Atomic Heart. I am a sucker when it comes to sci fi dystopian worlds.

Normally you come across a puzzle and its complete and move on. Atomic Heart is more complete, complete again with extra steps another 2 or 3 times. But after each time we will throw in a ton of enemies just to make it take even longer. If you wanna add new iterations of puzzles that's fine but do this throughout the game not directly after each other. If you wanna add combat encounters then make them meaningful and not just busy work.
    For the story, I kinda lost track tbh cos I kept putting the game down. The combat is fun at 1st but because there is far to many of the same encounters I kept getting sick of it. These devs need to learn about finding the right balance instead of jam packing as much in as they can. Just because something is awesome, what makes it even better is when there is less of it so you can appreciate it more. They got the talent no doubt, but now they need to learn how to execute it correctly.    … Expand

    For me it is a decent FPS shooter but really got bored with repetitive enemy attacks. Puzzles are very easy and save point dynamic is just crap. Platform mechanics are terrible. I almost fall a sleep in the first 45 minutes of watchplay (not game play). However great graphics and successful weapon upgrade/craft system. Great potential to turn it into a franchise.

The open world part was pretty much useless and the map was unusable. I felt like I was running the whole time to just get to the next mission because I couldn’t stand the open world part. Story is pretty good but the ending was way too much. It was all over the place and unnecessary and dumb. Overall fun.… Expand

    Что я могу сказать по данной игре.

    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,    Что я могу сказать по данной игре.

    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

    Clunky combat and buggy mechanics do not compensate for what is clearly a high-effort world building effort. What ultimately made me stop playing was the MC constantly blabbering and berating his AI companion. It's a real shame, because the game fails simply by trying too hard.

    Clunky combat, underwhelming character progression and spells, horrible dialogue, bad story and bad endings with its bad plot twists, very repetitive gameplay.

Bunch of fetch quests in corridor    First and foremost I would encourage you to disregard reviews unspecific about what they enjoyed or did not enjoy — There is probably more positive propaganda from butthurt Russians than negative from SJWs.

    Pros:
    1. Soundtrack
    2. Graphics

    Cons:
    1. Not easy to navigate the main quests — objectively frustrating and frequently disrespectful of player time. Bunch of fetch quests in corridor mazes where map/navigation assistance is useless 60% of the time. And that’s probably a generous figure.

    Also long and completely unskippable dialogues/cinematics.

    2. Wants to be an action RPG & also a survival game & also a looter shooter & also a walking sim / visual novel? No mechanical synergy, just sh*t thrown at the wall.

    3. FPS optimized very well, but don’t be fooled by that — it is a very, very glitchy game. Laughed at reviews lauding optimization just because motion is smooth, when you can easily get locked in place by the environment requiring restart in a game that uses save stations…

    4. ^An action game that uses save stations^

    5. Combat revolves entirely around crowd controlling brain dead hyper aggressive enemies that, for the most part, just want you in a corner. Reverse difficulty curve isn’t very satisfying in endgame + enemies are all bullet sponges.

    6. Trying to navigate swimming through polymer

    7. Not sure if I love or hate the “force pull for loot” mechanic. Might be better with a mouse than controller. Lots of time spent looting… not a lot of loot.

    Summary:
    Think of this as an experiment by an indie developer with action that controls like it was designed as a PC or VR game (think subnautica), and you will appreciate what they’ve done here.

    If you go in expecting a tight shooter looter like borderlands, you will be disappointed.

    Overall most of the good manifests as unrealized potential. It shows promise as an iterative IP, but it’s hard to recommend the debut in a vacuum.

    Get this on sale or if your are just mega bored and intrigued by the setting.    … Expand

    Downloaded, launched and immediately wanted to exit. The game has a lot of bugs. The sound may simply disappear along with the dubbing. The game will be interesting if you only follow the plot. If you start to study it in more detail, you will be very disappointed.
    I think, the game received such a sucess at the time of release, only because of the sexualization of the twin robots.

    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

    If I were to describe "Atomic Heart" accurately, I would dub it the 'Illusion Fair'. Despite having a genuinely short game length, it crafts the illusion of an open world that convinces you of a lengthy adventure ahead. The NPCs never let up, and the game's difficulty level, even on the easiest mode, is exorbitantly high. This robs many players of their peace and increases stress levels.If I were to describe "Atomic Heart" accurately, I would dub it the 'Illusion Fair'.

    I am at ease that I played this game via Xbox Game Pass, as I was contemplating buying it directly. But this should be evaluated in the context of my subjective opinion and gaming taste.

    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. >.<

    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.

The whole fight is to beat and use drugs. There are not enough resources, it was not possible to buy anything interesting, despite the fact that I collected everything. And so the game can be played on easy. Also, there are too many opponents, they don’t let you play, at every step you have to look for how to open the next door. We open doors the whole game and every second stupid monsters...
    Also, the game has bugs. The scale of life after increasing the skills is not complete, and if you restored it and reloaded the game, the scale is again incomplete.    … Expand

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

Even many of the enemies seem taken from other forms of popular culture distilled into less exciting versions and installed in the world.

    A strong recommendation to Mundfish: invest a little more in your dialogue and narrative design, as all your hard work creating beautiful environments is often overshadowed by the awkward verbal cliches of the protagonist. These works great in Far Cry Blood Dragon and Bulletstorm but less so in a game that seemingly takes it self so seriously. An thesaurus would serve you well.

    As Mundfish is a new studio I'll wait and see their next steps which hopefully will involve a silent protagonist.    … Expand

    The setting, graphics and world building are gorgeous, but;

    - The gameplay is mediocre at best
    - The dialogue is one step away from terrible
    - The puzzles are unnecessarily annoying
    - The crafting is an artificial gameplay extender that adds no value to the game
    - The guns are almost pointless (at least early on)
    - The glove won't shutup
    - The vending machine makes me want to kill myself
    - The parkour often doesn't work properly
    - The tutorials pop up during sections where you're repeatedly hitting the space button, so it auto skips them
    - The rhythm based lockpicking system is the most annoying lockpicking system I've ever seen
    - The protagonist (and glove) treat you like a 5 year old, that needs everything explained
    - The port to PC feels like they did literally nothing to make it PC friendly

    If you like souls-like style gameplay, (I use that relatively loosely) grind-a-thons and games that look beautiful, then you genuinely may love this, but if you're expecting a fast paced, well designed FPS set in an interesting universe, you better hurry along.

    TLDR; The game is a beautiful looking tedious nightmare that does not deliver AT ALL on the fast paced FPS style aesthetic you might be expecting, they've taken the mediocre parts of several different genres and badly combined them into a painstaking, tedious mess    … Expand

    The combat and mechanics are pretty fun, but the story, the puzzles and especially the ending are so boring and uninspired. The autosave not working was so much worse than everything else though. Especially when there's a closed room crowded with enemies and for 2 bosses inside it that can only be damaged in melee being the cherry on top.

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Someone once called Atomic Heart the "Bolshevik Bioshock." This is a succinct, accurate view from my experience. The world is a bit hollow, as so much of what you see is just decorations. You can't pop the balloons with your axe. The hanging dead bodies look like statutes and they're impervious to your attacks as well. You can knock over a few things, but not most. It's a shame as the world looks nice, however you can't interact with it much.

    Several cliches abound, starting with the giant happy world of tomorrow crashing and going off the rails. Speaking of crashing, how many games have a flying crash in the introduction now? Then you find your token melee weapon right away, and slowly find other ballistic weapons as you go. Some doors are blocked with devices that remind me of Half-Life or Dishonored. You'll find fires that burn endlessly, transportation systems on the fritz, happy computer voices telling you to calmly evacuate, and all the other tropes of the genre.

    You're now ready to follow the advice of your onboard AI Cortana, I mean Charles, as he directs you around the world by the hand (literally, as he's a glove). Several predetermined scenes appear, and you will die a few times if you advance to far and get caught by a digging snake machine or other programmed event. When you do perish, the reload time is long. And for whatever reason, in the year 2023 you cannot save anywhere but are instead limited to specific save rooms. The game may save periodically on its own, but you can't control it. This makes reliving the lame conversations and forced cutscenes particularly annoying.

    Eventually you meet a crass Coke machine looking upgrade box which lets you use your plasmids, I mean neuromod, no wait, it's... neuromodule? So now you have the token electrical power, Shok (cause reasons). You're forced to buy this one so you can shock your way through some doors, just like in BioShock. Other doors will be various lock picking games, because it's a requirement to have lockpicking. Using the potty mouth refrigerator you'll be able to craft upgrades of course, as is the style at the time. You need recipes as the devs don't want you to have too much fun by making the weapons you want before they're ready for you to have access to them. So for now, you've got a fire axe, shotgun, Shok, and maybe one other typical ability, but that's it.

    You then begin to get through the enemies which detect you at great distances and move much faster than you can. If you luck out you can get the Obi Wan approved high ground to chop away as they stand there and take it. You'll slow your walk as you scan the scene with your Detective Vision or whatever the "limited colors see through walls where power ups light up" view. Most of the stuff you loot is just parts for grafting or med kits, taking a good bit of fun out of it.

    However for me, my story ends here as I get soft locked where I'm told I need to buy a power up but I already did. I still get the dialogue option, but cannot activate it, so I die on the laser grid separating me from my next objective. I'll leave the game installed for a bit, but I'm not drawn to it and that's the biggest sign to me. For my money and time, it's not worth it. Your kilometers may vary, and more power to you if so, but for me Atomic Heart is a "нет" at present.

    I'll wait a bit and see if they fix this, but as it stands this is a boring disappointment.    … Expand

    I wanted to love this game more than anything! Looks fantastic! Luckily, I got to play it on Xbox Series X game pass before buying and I am so glad I did. Numerous game breaking bugs. Most common one was being unable to attack or pull up a weapon when being attacked. So glad I didn’t use money to purchase this on my PS5, but still so disappointed at the same time.

    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.
