    One of the best releases for the last few years. Awesome visuals, really great combat, fresh setting, we didnt see much USSR-like games, looks cool. Story is ok, but nothing special. Game is like compilation of bioshock + metro:exodus + dying light for me.

    Dialogues, jokes, teenage vulgarity cause shame. This game is too mature for a teenager, but too degrading for an adult. She has no target audience.

    Troppi bug. Mi ne è capitato uno dopo l'ultima patch che non mi fa piu andare avanti perché quando prendo un ascensore nella storia mi sprofonda sotto la mappa. Ho ricaricato il salvataggio più volte ma nnt. Già come gioco in se ha diversi limiti, poi se capitano pure questi bug è grave.

    Just a carbon copy of Bioshock series, in every level but with a pseudo soviet theme. Bad fighting mechanics, sickening head movement, endless dialogs explaining everything everytime and a bad soundtrack. The good side is the graphics and the attention of the graphics details, but the gameplay is unbalanced along with a terrible combat system.

    Nothing special. Like many others are saying the combat feels very boring, 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.

    The Protagonist sees dozen dead Civilians lying on the ground while some brutal robot slaughters the remaining surivors, he does not save a single one of them and kills the thing and it **** explodes. he smokes a blunt and quotes some duke nukem quote and leaves.

    55 FOV (Devs said its perfect) The combat is sluggish and not satisfying, melee feels really really bad, 4 Hour

    The combat is sluggish and not satisfying, melee feels really really bad,

    4 Hour tutorial area

    Empty open world with one of the worst GTA 5 police systems. (you destroy something in a area and for 10 minutes 50 repair drones come from time to time to repair and heal dead robots or cameras. not lying I killed 50 drones just because i destroyed one camera)

    2 abilities you can use, they feel meh like the combat.

    the shotgun is one of the weakest weapons ingame and the 9mm makarov pistol is stronger???

    the worst dialogue I have ever seen in any kind of game. The protagonist is like the Postal dude and duke nukem combined, but it does not matches the setting or the circumstances. he will always say some unfunny stuff and will always smoke a fat blunt afterwards.

    the only good thing about this game is the setting and the story cutscenes without the protagonist.

Atomic Heart is just from the category of games where all this is and at a very high quality level! The game will appeal to both hardcore players and casual players. Fans of Retro-Futuristic games like Bioshock and Fallout will definitely play! Players from the CIS and former territories of the USSR will be inspired by pleasant nostalgia for the old days, when the grass was greener, and Lenin was not demolished in different cities. 10 points!

    Atomic Heart uses concept of USSR in 50-s. The feeling of nostalgia for most post-soviet players will make you feel great, everything is made very well in terms of atmoshpere.

    Developers used common sense making characters in game. You can remember a lot of characters that you meet during the walkthrough. Some humans, your smart hand, even some robots. I like the design.

    There are a lot of jokes, dialoges, text stories and audio records. Bad thing that some of them can be skipped just by walking into random map trigger, which causes any audio to stop, so players have to wait if they want to know everything about this world.

    Gunplay is amazing. You can customize your abilities, upgrade you character, upgrade you guns. Hitreg is made pretty good for both melee and long-range weapons. Players have to grind a lot of resources to keep up with strong enemies. Grinding is important thing at the begging of the game, because robots are very thick and it's difficult to defeat them using non upgraded stuff. Mid-game, players will have important upgrades, that'll make gameplay way more interesting.

    Some puzzles are quite interesting. Some puzzles are required to open additional paths and items, some to continue the story.

    The optimisaton is great. Most GPUs can handle this game easily on High settings 60 FPS with 1080p resolution. The bad thing - there's no full ray tracing, only some parts of NVIDIA technology.

    If you like Bioshock series or Metro Exodus, this game might be good for you.

    Игра неплохая. Самым большим минусом для меня были диалоги. Словно их писали в последнюю очередь, либо сценаристом наняли родственника одного из руководителей.
    Особенно когда всё это смотрится на контрасте: главный герой как быдло матерится через слово, а все вокруг вежливо и культурно пытаются его успокоить, аки бухого батю который с матами у всех деньги на бутылку вымогает.
    Ну и бабка
    Игра неплохая. Самым большим минусом для меня были диалоги. Словно их писали в последнюю очередь, либо сценаристом наняли родственника одного из руководителей.
    Особенно когда всё это смотрится на контрасте: главный герой как быдло матерится через слово, а все вокруг вежливо и культурно пытаются его успокоить, аки бухого батю который с матами у всех деньги на бутылку вымогает.
    Ну и бабка ещё не понравилась. Почему бабку озвучивает словно 30-летняя женщина которая даже не пытается разговаривать как бабка?

    Почему бабка такое же быдло? Сценарист не знает правила контраста? Ты можешь сделать бабку смешной, если сделаешь её действительно бабкой, старенькой, сутуленькой, слабенькой, вежливой, которая резко может орду роботов замочить. Но в игре бабка это не бабка, это тот же самый главный герой но в платочке.

    Остальное в игре в целом понравилось либо не раздражало. Многие ругали то что очень мало видов врагов, да, но меня это не сильно напрягало.
    Были технические проблемы со звуком, баг это или нет - не знаю, но она то пропадает то появляется. За это оценку снижать не хочу, учитывая что это первая игра в этом году которая хорошо оптимизирована и на насилует компьютер.

Somebody forced authors to add such attributes into the game, and it would be better without them. They only make a noise.

While the developers tried to create an immersive gaming experience, they seemed to have relied too heavily on the propaganda of the Soviet Union and Russia, instead of focusing on creating an interesting and engaging gameplay. Additionally, the game suffers from an over-reliance on stolen elements from other games, particularly from Bioshock.

    One of the main problems with Atomic Heart is that it lacks originality. The game feels like a mishmash of other popular games, rather than being something unique and exciting. It's clear that the developers were heavily influenced by Bioshock, with many gameplay mechanics and design elements being taken directly from that game.

    Moreover, given the current political climate, it is not ethical to support a game created by a country currently involved in an aggressive and expansionist war. It's important to be mindful of the games we choose to play and the message we send when we play them.

    Overall, I cannot recommend Atomic Heart due to its lack of originality, over-reliance on stolen elements, and the ethical concerns around supporting games created by countries involved in wars of aggression.

    Not to mention the developers, while claiming to be out of politics, have put references like old photos of Donetsk, canned pork with upside down ukrainian flag as a background, and a drone with a geranium as a reference to shahed drones (russian Geran' 2) that russians use to bomb ukrainian cities. I won't even start with how the game was funded and where the money from it's sales will eventually go to.

Atomic Heart как будто пришла к нам прямиком из параллельной вселенной, где игровые разработчики всё ещё горят своей работой и идеями. Где у разработчиков всё ещё осталась фантазия и остались острые зубы для того, чтобы не стесняться делать так, как хотят они сами.

    People writing they have allot of technical issue do not own a original copy and used the developed debug version which was leaked before the release. The official released version runs like butter. It actually surprised me that I can play the game on 4K with settings on "Atomic" with an AMD 3600 and AMD 6800 between 60 and 90 fps. So you are playing on a developer debug version or you are simply lying.

    Game looks beautiful, no woke characters, just a blast. It's not perfect but arguably the best shooter that has come out for the last 3+ years.

    Just wish they added a FOV slider. The view is too narrow which can make you suffer from come motion sickness.

The last few years I literally had gaming impotence, and at the same time, when I played this game, I was happy as a child. I really don't understand the negative reviews, it seems to me that these people haven't even played this game and judge it by scandals related to it, such as politics or a scandal with the sexualization of something Expand

    Atomic Heart boasts impressive graphics, but unfortunately falls short in other areas. Despite its detailed open world, it feels empty and lacks engaging characters and storylines. Although it draws inspiration from the Bioshock series, Atomic Heart fails to offer a unique and outstanding experience. Puzzles are repetitive and the shooting battles are unengaging.

    Played ~10 hours, I enjoyed retrofuturism style of the USSR, interesting story, humors. Combats- not strong side of projeсt, but it doesn't annoy me, just normal

    Good optimization, the atmosphere of the Soviet Union, all this is quite unusual. Very reminiscent of "Bioshock infinite" and "Prey" in terms of puzzles. Well done developers, you can see that they tried. I recommend to buy.

    Dull and boring, red corridor simulator. 1 score for optimization. I also want to note that the politicization of the game is sickening, the authors are hypocrites who promised to be without politics.

    Only my 2nd review ever but I figured it would be worth to add something. Overall it’s just ok, I’m about 6 hours in total. Not really blown away. The beginning sequence is beautiful from an art perspective. The game looks really good. Gameplay wise it just doesn’t hold up, spongy enemies, endless mob waves in open world, melee weapons aren’t that viable the harder the difficulty.

The beginning sequence is beautiful from an art perspective. The game looks really good. Gameplay wise it just doesn’t hold up, spongy enemies, endless mob waves in open world, melee weapons aren’t that viable the harder the difficulty. And constantly collecting mats from dead bodies and drawers. It’s worth a shot on game pass for “free”, wouldn’t pay more than $15 bucks for it. 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.

    Such a great game! After two years of waiting, all my expectations have come true. The style is excellent, there are many Easter eggs for Russian people, and I'm really glad that the political situation hasn't affected this game. I give it a 10 out of 10.

    All the bad reviews are from people who were insulted by visuals of communism in a video game about communism in an alternative universe and people who tried to 'cancel' this game. The game itself is beautiful and solid. One of the most exciting games I've played in a while.

    Awesome game for me. Cause im Russian i get much more esthetic pleasure than anyone else.
    The art design is pure magic. Love of creators just flow from every meter of game.
    The gameplay is very close to Prey, which i love so much too. For me this is kinda Prey 2, which i suppose we dont see. Story is not so empressive but its deffinetly not bad. Nowadays good story is rare thing in any

    Performance is magic too. 4k resolution, high settings with DLSS give me super stable 60+ fps on RTX 3060. I still hardly believe in that.
    Game havent any big bugs. I have no game crashes, saving issues, nothing bad at all. All that in first release day. OMG.
    So, for first big AAA experience, it is outstanding result. 10/10.

    Atomic Heart is an absolute disaster of a video game. From start to finish, this game is an unmitigated mess that is sure to disappoint even the most forgiving of players.

    First and foremost, the game is plagued with technical issues that make it almost unplayable. From constant crashes to sluggish performance, you'll spend more time trying to get the game to work than actually playing it. The graphics, while promising in trailers and teasers, are underwhelming and unimpressive in practice, and the overall design of the game is lackluster and unoriginal.

    But even if you manage to get past the technical issues, the gameplay is a complete letdown. The combat is clunky and unresponsive, and the AI is so terrible that it makes the game feel like it was made in the 90s. The game's story is convoluted and poorly executed, leaving the player with little to no investment in the game's world or characters.

    Overall, I would not recommend Atomic Heart to anyone. This game is a complete waste of time and money, and there are far better games out there that are actually worth your time. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this disaster of a game at all costs.

    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.
