    That is not a 10 out of 10 game, but it is a good one. Sad that it gets beaten by woken people. Interesting sci-if setting a bit rough on edges. But still a good bioshock like game

    Хорошая игра среднего сегмента с выдающимся и уникальным дизайном, шикарным саундтреком. Боевка хорошая, но баланс иногда страдает, и видно что игру затачивали под клавомышь, на геймпаде некоторые враги и боссы слишком шустрые. Из минусов отметил бы пустой открытый мир и затянутую первую половину игры в плане сюжета, но во второй половине все гораздо интереснее.Хорошая игра среднего сегмента с выдающимся и уникальным дизайном, шикарным саундтреком.

    This is the first game to actually impress me with its visuals this new generation. The gameplay and progression is top tier. The game starts with a Half Life style rail scene, moves into a Resident evil Style Survival Horror Underground section and emerges into a open world Far Cry style map..It honestly one of the most impressive FPS game I've played in years..
    Not only is the game stunningly gorgeous but it runs very smooth. There a grear progression tree , heaps of cool weopens and a great crafting system that makes you want to collect items. Combat is insane and fun requiring skill as well as reflexes and the story is one of the best stories I seen in a game since Nier Automata..Really impressive title.

Cyberpunk was beautiful, but it became smooth after half a year) Aesthetics, combat, gameplay in general - I'm very surprised, I thought we'd be a nice atmospheric parachka, but here they made the game a direct game, like in 2007) It plays great on the highest difficulty, I recommend it. Just a fresh breath of air after any casualness of the corridor ... Here, too, a corridor, but there is no feeling of claustrophobia. How did they manage to optimize the game in such a way that on my 2060 super it runs on atomic settings with fps 60+ - some kind of witchcraft ... I was surprised to learn that there is no RTX here, it turns out that even without it you can make gorgeous reflections. This game without RTX looks two heads taller than Hogwarts with RTX. Expand

    К русской озвучке лично у меня нет вопросов.
    Перчатка озвученная голосом Леонида Белозоровича, буземно радует слух.

    В целом для первой отечественной ААА игры - это браво и аплодисменты.

    Спасибо Mundfish, я безумно рад сказать что российский игропром ни то что не умер, а еще может дать леща конкурентам рынка и уложить их.

    Про оптимизацию отдельный пункт, игра выходит и без 1 патча работает стабильно не на ТОПовой сборке, такое не могут нынче никто, даже АААА проекты ;)

    Жду сюжетные DLC и другие проекты от вас ребят, спасибо!

In COD MW we saw images of inhuman Russians But, in Atomic Heart there is no place for hating any nation. Think about it.

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!

    I ain't expect much, but since I started realise its a good rebirth of system shock class game with extra dangerous enemy's, global disaster and craft system. Good ones - I miss time of BioShock experience with loot every corner, look for secret passages and making my gear better. That is unique - its a Soviet culture didn't featured in a games before. I like it and i will buy it for sure.

    An amazing game, in the atmosphere of the USSR. A game that dared to show that people could also live well in a socialist society (which propaganda still demonizes). Without widespread denunciations and executions "for a joke."

From the insanely intriguing and sometimes super "edgy-creeepy-scary bc it could have been real.." game world to the physco robots (especially the Bosses), everything just works and is all you could ask for in a game world and story.
    The sound too is superb with some really naughty and delightful dialogue from your robot "friend", as well as cool "techy" commentary from the scientists, Great, Mature remarks from the main character, etc., and the sound of the world, characters interacting in the game world, etc. are amazing with a pair of Atmos headphones or an Atmos home theater.

    I REALLY Enjoy the story and put in about 15hrs on my first delve into the game. It's like a mix of Wolfenstien, BioShock/System Shock and something wholely its own that ultimately make this an early GoY contender.

    P.S. This game runs really well (mostly, a VRR display would help in some crazy areas) on the Xbox Series S as well. If I had to play it on a last gen console I would, but nextgen consoles and PC are the way to go if you've got em. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants a new an amazing story/game to experience. I'm absolutely loving my 1st play through and can't wait to go through it again!

    Performance wise, this game is well optimized on PC and again, it looks and plays outstandingly well on the Xbox Series X (and Xbox Series S) as well

    Геймплей: Хорош, приятен, но игра, как-будто не знает, хочет быть тяжеловесной, тактической и размеренной или дум-лайком с бешенной динамикой, пытается быть иммерсив симом, но не может им считаться, так как некоторые детали не учтены (Например, если разлить жидкость из перчатки и дать электрический разряд, то она создаст дамаг-зону, но если вжарить электричеством по луже, то ничего не случится)

    Исследование локаций: Причина, по которой эта игра стоит своего времени, крайне интересно наблюдать сублимированный в каждый миллиметр советский ретрофутуризм, так помимо визуала... Чего стоит музыка, известнейшие хиты СССР в том числе и с современными обработками. Побуждает к исследованию локаций ещё и интересные аудиодневнеки, например... Разговоры с трупами!

    There are some bug issues (much less than Cyberpunk 2077), but in what AAA game doesn't have them?)
    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.

    Anyone who evaluates the game based on the current world situation - shame on you!

    Game is actually amazingly fun, runs extremely well even on older hardware.
    Gameplay is very bioshock-like (i mean this in an extremely positive way), there's tons of different weapons, skills, upgrades, all of which can be fully refunded with 100% payback of all mats, so you can experiment as much as you like to find the perfect playstyle that suits you.
    Hope this studio will make another!

    General - 10, +2 just for the willpower of dev's and publishers to release a good game on such a subject, at such a time.

    Gameplay 7/10 - IMO bosses were too easy, there is higher probability to get killed by regular enemies than by bosses (except for hedgehog), but this is my subjective opinion. Also can't mention bugs with collision (getting stuck in rocks and flying cars on bridge)

    Scenario 7/10 - was surprised with both two endings, but I think it would be better if glove-character story was shown in the gameplay, not in laptops or notes. Also in my opinion general story itself doesn't really fit USSR setting. I think it would be better if story was like the real story of RSRI (Rocket Science Research Institute), in which S. P. Korolev's was working by the way - the struggle of scientists for attention to their projects, feuds, denunciations against each other, which theoretically can result in something like what is shown in the game, which I think would fit game setting well, and not only "im the evil just because" plot of one of characters. Anyway, story present in the game is still good enough to surprise at the end.

    Design and music 10/10.

    turned out above my expectations
    The introduction is ingenious in its detail and design.
    That's who the real game designers are, Ubisoft would be worth learning with their "copies of the world", not extolling anything new, although offering more volume. You should try this game to appreciate its full depth of design and gameplay. But the feelings are very positive, really, something

    But the feelings are very positive, really, something interesting in the world of modern, mediocre games.

    Lots of interesting design ideas and mechanics.
    Very diverse decorations and interiors.
    There is a real feeling that the player is in the game, and not a bystander.

    There is not even HP over the heads of enemies, which can already be considered very risky and unusual in modern game development.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. +Боевка довольно интересная, чувствуется оружие и попадание по врагам. Сложность умеренная
    +Сюжет держит тебя в тумане, ты вроде думаешь что понимаешь его и уже предсказываешь сюжет но как вдруг все внезапно меняется.
    +Атмосфера СНГ) Начиная от дизайна экстерьера и интерьера и заканчивая диалогами.
    +Хорошие головоломки и не тупиковые и не легкие
    +Дизайн врагов
    +Проработанный сюжет, ты принципе не задаешься вопросами, тебе все объяснят, а если интересно что то большее, то информация круто подана через тела и записки.
    + Оптимизон со старта, не ждал патчей и прочего. на 2060super и i5 2200 запустилась в 54+ ФПС на графике АТОМНЫЙ без DLSS
    +Повреждения врагов
    Минусы к сожалению есть.
    - Сюжет очень короткий
    - Локация короткая и ограниченная сильно, машина в принципе (кроме как на мосту) не нужна, надеюсь с ДЛС расширят.
    -Не хватило Боссфайтов под музыку Гордона!!(((
    -Врагов мало,да. Но они круто и логично расставлены.
    - Две концовки и две непонятные, одна хз тебя или убили или в лимб засунули и что стало с коллективом, во второй ты ушел в отпуск и опять же что стало с коллеткивом. По сути две концовки друг от друга не отличаются) Опять же Надеюсь на ДЛС.
    - VK Play
    ВПриятно что автор вынашивал долго всю эту тему с миром игры аж с 2008 годов если не ошибаюсь, респект за этот мир. Игра прошлась на одном дыхании, озвучка, лицевая анимация и графон все смешано в хороший оптимизон. Уважаю. Цена демократична и 2500 (VK PLAY) рублей она точно стоит. Перепрохожу на последнем уровне сложности) а сейчас за последнее время мало тайтлов которые хочется перепройти. Игра в общем как глоток свежего воздуха. Вот тебе и паркур и биошок и стрелялка и рпг и все все намешано, но не просто намешано, а вкусно собрано, как добротный бургер. Хотелось бы ОПЕНВОРЛД прям полный со всеми фишками и подземельями, но это лишь хотелка. А так, знаю через что пришлось пройти команде, и я кланяюсь вам очень низко за такую игру, вы все молодцы, абсолютно все. Я верил в этот проект до конца. Люблю русские игры за внимание к деталям и проработанность игрового мира и геймплея. Надоело жрать красивые картинки с однотипными задачами. За последние лет 5 точно , повторюсь, это прям глоток свежего воздуха. Команда не сделала ничего сверхгениального ,но она постаралась ( и у нее получилось) вернуть дух видеоигр в целом. Mundfish сделали то, чего не смогли многие за последние несколько лет, заинтересовать, ответить за слова и оставить хорошее впечатление. Ведь я покупаю игры не для того чтоб 90+ часов дрочить на что то непонятное , или не ради графона. Я люблю играть, погружаясь в атмосферу и переживать историю, и Mundfish это сделала. Спасибо вам, для первого раза не то чтобы "Непохо" а "Отлично".

    While watching teasers and trailers I was 99% sure that this game cannot be this good! Unknown studio and not so much developing stars in it (none actually). But the result is amazing! Never been to USSR but what a delight to come back there! I can't say everyone is gonna like it but I recommend to give it a try because if you like it you will have lots of fun.

The atmosphere of the USSR is beautiful, and not what they usually show us, but no politics. This is the studio's first game - as a debut it's just a great start! I wish good luck to this studio, I hope they will continue to delight us with chic interesting games.

    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.

    Good decisions leveled out or made ignore some lame or not polished parts. I give it solid 8/10.

    There are also death screens that are incredibly well done and your death screen is different every time you are killed by different enemy. Animators really did outstanding job (same for upgrade animations)! I just love small details like that. You can really see that developers put effort into making this game amazing to play. Love how you leave marks of damage on enemy robots from melee and range weapons. Decapitation and high lvl of gore is also present in this game that was well done. There are also upgrades in this game that can heavily impact your gameplay once you fully upgrade certain thing. Boss fight are very challenging and satisfying, which I didn't expect in fps game to be honest.

    There is also good amount of puzzles in this game, at start they are simple, but gradually they do become more challenging and interesting. It feels very rewarding once you solve the more challenging ones.

    Game atmosphere is incredible and makes game a very immersive experience. Story will make you wonder and keep you interested from start to finish. Main character and glove voice acting on Russian is great and also adds to immersion. I did also played it on English, at first VA was weak, but it did grow on me. But I do understand people who do not like it, therefore I strongly suggest Russian dub.

    Honestly, for this developers first game ever, this is incredible. I'm blown away. I will keep a close eye on Mundfish studio and their future projects.

    I warmly recommend this game to everyone.

    Thank you for taking your time to read my review.
    I appreciate it and wish you all the best.

    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.
