    Amazing game. It is simply the best game I have played this year. I am replaying it now. A masterpiece, extremely fun, atmospheric…recommendation: play it in the Russian language with English subs.
    Started playing in Gamepass and will purchase it as a thank you to this studio.

    There are puzzles, but the combat is stupid. Remember on MTV there was an advertisement of two fools standing against each other and slapping each other?! It's the same here. 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

    + awesome fps mechanics, there are a little bit of tech issue but very negligible
    + I loved the atmosphere its like a combination of Bioshock and Prey 2017 from arkane .
    +puzzle dungeons with rewarding weapon upgrades loved it
    +decent lore
    - glitchy animation in some of the cut-scenes
    -we need more sand box elements

    Whad attracted me to this game was that it was visually and thematically inspired by Bioshock and (mostly) Bioshock Infinite. That said, I found this game slightly disappointing.

    In short, aesthetically pleasing, but frustrating combat mechanics, story is a bit boring and predictable, and way too many puzzles.    … Expand

    I don't like it . 3D puzzle cause too many motion sickness , even the running view is uncomfortable . to be honest ,I just wanna see the beauty twins ,and I can't see them in the walkthrough . instead too many no hair guys , I am not gay for sure .. whatever ,hiding the twins is a bad idea , I should see them more often .

    - Combat is not hard like souls game but you can quite easily get punished if you start not giving attention to the game.
    - Story was a little above the average (although some players says it was easy to guess what was going to happen it was not like that for me, I didn't saw what was coming) and was enough for a game at this caliber (especially considering this is the debut game for this studio).
    - Puzzles were too much but I enjoyed so for me it was no big deal but maybe they could have decrease 1 puzzle in training grounds and add a boss for golden box to make it better.

    Downsides:
    - number of bosses in the game (for example there could be couple of unique boss -if not unique for each - for training grounds)
    - vulnerability and resistance mechanic (it is there but it is actually not because it doesn't matter if you fight according to that or not).    … Expand

Это произведение искусства превосходит все ожидания и устанавливает новые стандарты для жанра экшн-RPG.

    С самого начала игры, Atomic Heart завораживает своей атмосферой. Мрачный и таинственный мир постапокалиптического СССР окутан внутренней напряженностью и жутким шармом. Графика поражает своей детализацией, а качество звукового сопровождения погружает игрока в опасный и неизведанный мир.

    Сюжет игры захватывает с первых минут. Ваш персонаж, сотрудник спецслужб, становится свидетелем масштабной катастрофы, и его главная задача — разобраться в происходящем и найти ответы на множество вопросов. Загадки, интриги и реверсивные моменты вплетены в сюжет так гармонично, что оторваться от игры практически невозможно.

    Геймплей Atomic Heart предлагает глубокую и продуманную систему боя и прокачки персонажа. Выживание в этом опасном мире требует стратегии, тактики и изобретательности. Арсенал оружия впечатляет разнообразием, а встречи с различными монстрами и противниками становятся настоящим испытанием для игрока.

    Отдельно стоит упомянуть о превосходном качестве музыкального сопровождения игры. Атмосферные треки и мастерски выполненные звуковые эффекты дополняют впечатление от игры и делают ее еще более захватывающей. Треки из далекого прошлого СССР заставляли меня невольно улыбаться во время прохождения игры.

    В заключение хочется сказать, что Atomic Heart — это истинное произведение искусства, которое заслуживает внимания каждого ценителя игровой индустрии. Я настоятельно рекомендую погрузиться в этот потрясающий мир и насладиться каждой минутой проведенного времени в игре.

    P.S. Отдельное спасибо за мультфильм "Ну, погоди!" на телевизорах в комнатах отдыха и не только!    … Expand

Despite all of that is happening in Russia and Ukraine, this game was a joy to play and experience this soviet utopian world. As my final verdict I´m giving this game 9/10, even though I would really like to give it 10/10 sadly I cannot. When the game first came out it was buggy and frame dropping was everywhere so only because of this it is 9/10.… Expand

    + Great game, fun mechanics, rich world, enchanting visual style, cool weapons.
    + Fun puzzles, the right ammount of challenge here.
    - The protagonist is quite unlikable.
    - Boss battles are not much fun, a bit irritating though, just a lenghty repetition of the same attacks. But you can lower the difficulty if you don't want to waste too much time there.

    (po graniu 27h i ukończeniu gry)
    Świetny, unikalny klimat, przyjemny gameplay i w porządku fabuła ze szczyptą komunistycznej propagandy

    Rewelacyjny klimat i design świata - zdecydowanie podmuch świeżości.
    Specyficzna, utopijno-antyutopijna wizja świata.
    Podział na klasy społeczne, kult ciężkiej pracy będącej sensem życia - trochę takie dziwaczne niewolnictwo, w którym prawie każdy jest gorszy i nikt tak naprawdę niczego nie posiada, ale wszyscy niby szczęśliwi.
    Mówienie do siebie "towarzyszu" ma sekciarski vibe.

    Chwilami propaganda - kapitalizm be, ludzie w nim wykorzystywani i im źle, a komunizm dobry i wszystkim żyje się super xD

    Fabuła niespecjalnie ambitna ani odkrywcza, ale wystarczająco przyjemna.
    Słabo opowiedziana - czasem nieco naciągana, czasem czegoś zabrakło, czasem jest tylko pretekstem do pokazania czegoś ciekawego/dziwnego.
    Nudnawy początek, zbyt od tak wrzuca w fabułę - nie czujemy relacji bohatera z szefem, którego darzy bezgranicznym podziwem i zaufaniem.
    Bohater nieprzyjemny, niezbyt inteligentny komuch, zwolennik ZSRR, wiecznie podirytowany, wyżywa się na wszystkich i zdanie zmienia jakby miał bordera. Powoli mu idzie domyślanie się oczywistości.

    Nie ma seksu, ale są nawiązania, a bohater bywa werbalnie molestowany.

    Proste i przyjemne zagadki logiczne.

    Walka dosyć prosta, ale dynamiczna i satysfakcjonująca.
    Zróżnicowani i fajni przeciwnicy, zwłaszcza bossowie.... choć z każdym przeciwnikiem walczy się prawie tak samo.
    Widać na nich ślady, i potrafią rozwalić się na kawałki z uwzględnieniem uderzenia.
    Bezsensowna możliwość zabijania po cichu - odpala długie i uciążliwe quick time eventy

    Broni nie jest dużo, ale zróżnicowane i każdą można się pobawić.
    Można je ulepszać, a balans niezły, choć są wyjątki.
    Dźwięki broni przyjemne, nie jak pierdziawki.

    Nieprzemyślany "otwarty" świat i system odradzania wrogów na mapie - w trakcie fabuły odrzuca od zwiedzania.
    Łatwo pominąć opcjonalne poligony z ulepszeniami - wystarczyłaby przemyślana, dodatkowa misja fabularna, która by do tego namówiła, bo warto, choć wejście do niektórych nie jest przyjemne/oczywiste.

    Bardzo dobre udźwiękowienie i muzyka.
    Idealnie pasuje do klimatu i sprawia, że wiele zwykłych czynności jest satysfakcjonujących.

    Grafika nieco starawa - zwłaszcza oświetlenie.
    Wygląda jakby ktoś chciał ją mocno podkręcić kilkoma trikami - winieta, wysoka ostrość i kontrast.
    Świetna optymalizacja.
    Bardzo ładne kolory.

    Zepsute chodzenie po skałach - bardzo łatwo utknąć.

    Dobry dubbing PL.    … Expand

    Throughout the years and before the official release media outlets would write that Atomic Heart would never release and looks too good to be true in the trailers. With multiple games releasing already in 2023 with performance issues and bugs I had surprisingly little problems with this game. An example of how you should not judge a game before release, the negative press was uncalled for.Throughout the years and before the official release media outlets would write that Atomic Heart would never release and looks too good to be true in the trailers.

    A love letter to Bioshock your first impression is the fantastic world building and environmental storytelling. The second impression is the annoying main character, constantly swearing and arrogant which becomes grating over time. While some dialogue was funny, most of it is childish and I would have wished for a different protagonist.

    The game itself looks absolutely stunning, the music with a mix of classical and house music (sometimes mixed together) is fantastic and the gunplay serviceable. Playing with a controller on PC some bosses were a bit hard to keep in focus with their fast movements.

    I thought the upgrade system that returns spent materials if you want to try a different weapon or skill is a great idea.

    Overall an enjoyable game for fans of Bioshock that does not need to hide behind his inspiration.    … Expand

    Atomic Heart is a great game, with excellent presentation, world and graphics. Combat feels good with good gunplay and excellent melee where you slice up machines which looks great. The writing and voice acting are indeed quite bad. But the gameplay is great. Tons of weapon upgrades and character skills to play with.

    The constantly repairing machines in the open world get annoying, but just don’t get spotted by a camera and if you do, just run for it. It’s a pity the open world wasn’t utilised in a better and in depth way, since it’s stunning to be in but not much to do there. All in all it’s very much worth playing, if they can improve on the writing and story this developer can seriously create something incredible.    … 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]

    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.
