    I am again, genuinely surprised by the great reviews of this game. It happens SO much at the moment where very poor games have great reviews by players and critics alike. This game was touted as a Russian version of Bioshock and even Fallout 4. It's barely on par with the first and to even put this game anywhere close to a Fallout game is just nonsense.

It happens SO much at the moment where very poor games have great reviews by players and critics alike. This game was touted as a Russian version of Bioshock and even Fallout 4. It's barely on par with the first and to even put this game anywhere close to a Fallout game is just nonsense. I have done a few hours, no more. The main character is a complete dick. He is supposed to be an elite professional but is really an unruly 15 year old boy who has an axe and a gun. It's painful listening to him. The RPG elements are a thin veneer of what RPG should be. It is linear and not open world. I know it was not a full OW game but the reality is that this game is not OW at all. Two corridors, one of which is a dead end so you have to go back and do the other one is linear. I thought we were well past such a bore fest. Looks pretty, interesting premise, very poor gameplay, script, acting and is a desperate attempt at a game. I will try to refund it.… Expand

    Absolute trash game, that steals ideas from Bioshock and turned them into unplayable s.... Stupid dialogue, poor shooting, lack of balance, low open world quality, like in indie on Unity for $5.

    Atomic Heart is a game that failed to live up to my expectations.

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.    … Expand

    PROS : nice graphics. Fascinating visual design.
    CONS : Worst main character in video gaming history. Cringe level at the maximum. He talk ALL THE TIME and you won't be able to stand it more than 5 min. No difficulty balancing, but really none, it doesn't make sense. Poor game design. The storyline seems to have been written by a 12 year old kid. Really dumb story & characters.

In almost the whole game, I've seen strange artifacts on walls/shots/other effects. Closer to the end looks like they just don't know how to end this story, scenario turns wild super-scientist is also a ballet genius. The ending looks like a piece of ... you will not have anything you want to see in the end. Maybe if Mundfish will patch the game to reduce problems with stability and other bugs it could be okay-ish 6-7 points game. The plot is really bad in culmination and looks so strange, and unfinished or dropped.… Expand

    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.

And while the graphics are passable in some instances, they hardly push any boundaries. There are some stylistic moments that stand out, but the rest is nothing to write home about unless you're a die-hard fan of Soviet aesthetics - and even they will tire of it before long.

Какие-то навыки к скиллам которые по сути мало что дают, а сами скиллы практически бесполезны. Напомнило чем-то 1 tlou, где ты рубишь тонну врагов, а после продолжается повествование, но перепичканый всякими скиллами и навыками.

    In spite of amazing visuals, Atomic Heart left me cold. A Pavlovian approach to game play, combined with a lack of effective weapons, was simply frustrating and boring.

    Bioshock Infinite is still number one, in my book, for this kind of game. Shame the developers didn't take a closer look at how they did things. Suffice to say, wasted potential.

Almost in every element of the game, it's felt that this is the first big game of developers and they have lack of experience. This game would be 6-7 out of 10, but critical and annoying bugs ruin everything and and they blocking walkthrough, so that's why this is only 1.

Despite its potential, the game falls short in almost every aspect of its gameplay mechanics.

    First and foremost, the combat system is clunky and unresponsive. The hit detection is unreliable, making it difficult to accurately land a hit on enemies, and the overall combat system lacks depth and strategy. It feels like a chore to engage in any combat encounter, and it's clear that the developers didn't put enough effort into fine-tuning this crucial aspect of the game.

    The AI of the enemies is equally disappointing. They lack any form of intelligent decision-making, often running straight towards the player with no regard for their own safety. It's as if the developers forgot to program any sort of basic AI behavior.

    Additionally, the game is riddled with technical issues, including frequent crashes, bugs, and glitches that can completely ruin the immersion. The game is also poorly optimized, causing frequent frame rate drops and lag, which is especially frustrating during combat encounters.

    The story of Atomic Heart is intriguing, but it's bogged down by tedious and repetitive gameplay. The side quests are uninspired, and the main storyline fails to fully engage the player due to the monotonous gameplay.

    In all honesty, I cannot recommend Atomic Heart to anyone. Despite its stunning graphics and intriguing storyline, the gameplay is so poorly executed that it ruins any potential the game had. The clunky combat system, unintelligent AI, technical issues, and tedious quests make for an overall frustrating and disappointing experience. It's clear that the developers focused more on the game's aesthetics than on the gameplay, and it's a shame because with more effort and attention to detail, it could have been a great game. In its current state, however, Atomic Heart is simply a bad game that falls short in almost every aspect. Save your time and money and look elsewhere for a more enjoyable gaming experience.    … Expand

Game peaked at the Hedgie boss imo, that was actually really fun and was a huge step in the right direction.

The positive reviews I see are something to the effect of "Wow Bioshock Infinite meets Wolfenstein!" or "SovietShock!" and ignore anything about the actual game it self.

    Cons: - The first thing I noticed during the opening cutscenes was that when I panned to either side as far as I could go it would push my camera back to the center an inch, or so, if I wasn't actively pushing it that direction. Why? Let me look at my surroundings.
    - The voice acting is trash. It has no emotion and doesn't match what's going on in the actual scene or moment in the game. It has some Tommy Wiseau in The Room level editing where voice lines are almost on top of each other before the other character has really even finished speaking. Along with the bad voice acting/editing is the bad sound design. There were often times where there was sound just straight up missing or mismatched. The part where Granny fires the rocket launcher the sound was basically just not there.. Felt like an alpha build of the game which is sad considering this part took place in under the first hour of the game. I thought maybe the voice acting would take a back seat to the other features of the game but no. The main character and his sentient glove talk nonstop. The dialogue is real
    - It's buggy. One of the very first enemies comes through a door which I attacked, and then he got stuck behind the door. I could attack and kill him, but I couldn't loot him. The door never opened again. Some enemies flash on screen before actually showing up and are attackable.
    - The looting. The looting is the most tedious thing about this game. It's marketed as an easy "continue to hold F and and you vacuum everything up" when in reality you have to hold F in very specific spots, and for long enough, or it doesn't count if you've looted it entirely and you miss items. There's also entirely too many objects to loot which adds to the tediousness.
    - Batman detective mode. The radar mode helps slightly with making sure you loot everything but it's super inconsistent. Certain items are visible super far away and some not; some visible around corners and some not. Felt like I was constantly pulling it up, and when I didn't I would pull it up to find I missed a single metal crouton in a single pencil drawer in a room full of 50 different lootable filing cabinets.
    - Combat isn't great. The responsiveness of the dodge and light attack seem to work well. But the first upgrade you get is a whirlwind heavy attack. Takes a long time to complete, spins your vision, and you can be hit while finishing the long attack time. I'm sure it works ok with upgraded versions of the freeze and shield, but why bother when you can light attack, dodge without getting dizzy.
    - Platforming. Feels like the most tacked on aspect of the game. The game doesn't explain at all how to move while climbing walls and pipes. I just moved my mouse and character around until eventually my character awkwardly put out his arm and then I knew "oh ok now its time for me to jump". A lot of the time you jump and miss. Instead of falling all the way down you get caught on an weird part of the geometry like a crack in the cement wall that clearly isn't meant to be stood upon.
    - Horny fridge? Why? Just why? I guess it fits with the terrible writing.

    Pros: Runs well, looks nice, and the environments are well done. That's it. That's literally all of it.

    Normally don't write reviews but this is genuinely one of the worst games I've played to date. Felt worth saying something against all of the "positive" reviews that don't actually say anything about the game. All of this in under two hours of game play. Refunded it.    … Expand

    Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter game that takes place in a captivating retro-futuristic Soviet world that blends advanced technology with the style of the Soviet Union era. 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    Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter game that takes place in a captivating retro-futuristic Soviet world that blends advanced technology with the style of the Soviet Union era. 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

    Atomic Heart is an absolute letdown of a game that fails to deliver on almost every level. The game's concept and premise seemed promising, but the execution is so poor that it's hard to find anything redeeming about it.

    First of all, the game's technical issues are a major obstacle that makes it almost unplayable. From the constant frame rate drops to the never-ending loading screens, it's clear that the developers didn't put much effort into optimizing the game for modern hardware.

    Furthermore, the game's combat is a complete mess. The clunky controls and unresponsive mechanics make it frustrating to fight even the simplest of enemies. The game's AI is also terrible, making it easy to exploit their predictable behavior and making the game feel repetitive and dull.

    But perhaps the biggest disappointment of all is the game's story. The plot is convoluted and nonsensical, and the characters are uninteresting and forgettable. The game's attempts at humor fall flat, and the overall tone of the game is just confusing.

    Overall, Atomic Heart is a game that simply isn't worth your time or money. It's an unpolished mess that fails to deliver on every level, and there are far better games out there that are worth your attention.

    First time I heard about it, I thought it's going to be yet another B crappy shooter. Ended up a wonderful mix of Bioshock and Fallout. Actually, I liked Atomic Heart more than Bioshock. Finished it and waiting for DLCs. The atmosphere is amazing. Great attention to details, visuals and music. I liked the battle system and upgrades.

    The atmosphere is amazing. Great attention to details, visuals and music. I liked the battle system and upgrades. The best part is, I can experiment with the builds with zero (nada, blizzard etc, nilch) punishment for respecing weapons or my character. Looting system is good too.
    Bosses aren't that hard, definitely not a Dark Souls PITA. I can kill them in 1-2 tries and move on with the story, and I like it.

    The game is linear, though. The open world is there but it desperately lacks sidequests. Side-stories are mostly in the form or reading emails, listening to these watches, and talking to dead bodies. I'd recommend not to miss any and remember them as they help to put together the quite a convoluted story and atmosphere.

    Devs are very active in the forums, listening to players. Most of the bugs are already fixed.

    What sucks:
    - Price. $60 is good for months of RDR2 content, not for 3-4 days of AH. Get the game for $1, for new subscribers to Gamepass. The torrent version is an unbalanced dev build, ignore it.
    - Linear story, would really like to see Witcher quality-like sidequests. The side-stories are mostly reading/listening.
    Lots of lore is under explained. I hope it will be compensated with DLCs, as I'll be definitely waiting for them, e.g. Baba Zina is great yet lacking of her deeper story.
    - Feels like the game was developed by kids with their own interpretation of USSR. It's not bad, just funny. Take religious icons hanging in every house, in Soviet 50s in the houses of young scientists? Most of the things, vids and music belonging to later USSR, with the some "creative" explanation on why it's like that in 50s.
    - Most items can't be broken or interacted with.

    First of all, it should be noted that this game has a nonsensical and absurd plot. It's hard to imagine how a story in a unique setting could be made so bad. However, the main problem of the game is its monotony and boredom. First of all, this concerns enemies and puzzles.

It is not clear why there was an open world, because it is empty and not filled with activities. Also, throughout the game, the main character's constant comments with silly jokes were annoying. In general, I do not recommend, a waste of time and money.… Expand

    De entrada, una de las introducciones mas lentas, tortuosas y jodidamente aburidas que he jugado nunca, si no no es que la mas. El hecho de que te hagan tragarte 40 minutos o más, de gameplay que más que ser gameplay es una aburridisima cinemática sobre rieles, es una completa absurdez.

    Y para colmo el juego ya comienza con bugs, npc's con texturas bugeadas, subtitulos desfasados y lo peor y más ridículo de todo.
    Un bug que me hizo regresar al inicio del juego después de morir de un golpe, cuando llevaba aproximadamente 2 horas de juego. Es lamentable que gracias a esto tuve que padecer de nuevo la larguísima introduction forzada y aburrida.    … Expand

    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]

    Great level design, dangerous enemies, good gunplay and intriguing story come together to deliver an unforgettable game. [page 38]

    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.
