    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.

    Действительно интересный проект! Я так долго ждал и все мои ожидания были не зря! Динамичный, смешной, красивый! Никакой пропаганды тут нет (привет хейтерам) просто советский союз в другом виде. Mundfish огроменный респект!

    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.

    Awesome game! Very atmospheric. It do not demonize USSR, but shows good and funny part of it. It has a lot of funny link that is understandable only for people who lived at that time. Believe each person who remember that time do like this game. But there are some bugs and visual artifacts. But it will be fixed.

    In our age of loot boxes, online monotony and politicization of the gaming industry, it is very difficult to find a good quality game with a good storyline, lore, atmosphere and delicious ice cream. 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-FuturisticIn our age of loot boxes, online monotony and politicization of the gaming industry, it is very difficult to find a good quality game with a good storyline, lore, atmosphere and delicious ice cream. 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!

    on a personal computer is played much better than on consoles! Play on PC!

    Игра просто бомба!

    ATOMIC HEART is a modern masterpiece of games.
    They compare it with BioShock, but this game is better and better and more technologically advanced, so to speak, the best version of BioShock, plus a different style and presentation.

    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 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.

    We can say that the best game of recent years in the classic style of shooters, but higher in quality, from the creators of the old school of games and shooters.

    The most important thing is that unlike modern games, the game has excellent dialogues, without a lot of water.

    I don't know what else to say, the best games of recent years, in the spirit of BioShock, Half-Life 2 and other classic shooters.
    Yes, there is not enough physics in the game, this is not the Half-Life 2 level, but the levels themselves are excellent, the design, dialogues, narration, that's all from classic shooters, but with modern detail and graphics.
    And not from games in the spirit of Ubisoft games with unnecessary empty open worlds that are just filled with meaningless activities.

    Artistically gorgeous, musically perfect, action-packed game. I'm surprised how optimized is this game. It's a miracle.

    8/10 game. (giving 10 here to counter 0 trolls) Beautiful graphics, works flawlessly from day 1, interesting story and setting, combat feels great and impactful. I recommend playing on hardest difficulty so each encounter keeps you on your toes, game doesn't spoon feed you everything, you have to plan and think to win for once.

    Ставлю десять (хотя на самом деле оценил бы ее в 8-8.5) назло тем тем кто пытался отменить игру. Какая же жесть у людей в головах и какую же дичь они несут. Касаемо самой игры - для первого проекта студии это просто гениально. На игру года ее не номинирует, по понятным причинам, а жаль. Кандидат достойный. Желаю успехов разработчикам.

    Amazing game! The immersive atmosphere, authentic music, excellent PC optimization, and fast-paced gameplay really make you stay in it for a long time. I highly recommend this work of art by Russian game developers! And preferably not the dev-build, but the actual release.
    Don't pay attention to the zeros and ones in the ratings, they have nothing to do with objectivity.
    I gave it a 9

    I gave it a 9 solely because of minor rough spots like open-world and stealth.

    This game lives up to the hype. The world concept and art are some of the best I've seen in a decade, and the performance optimization is nothing short of miraculous for a startup company founded to make this game. The gameplay is also a well rounded FPS action game that is reliably fun.

    Cons: Extremely uneven and steep difficulty curve, the graphics are beautiful but not perfect, occasional bugs, and most importantly, 90% of the references and jokes in the game will only be understood by residents of the USSR and/or the former CIS, or those who have somehow studied what was in the USSR. Additionally, many may be offended by seeing things that are not actually present. (I suggest studying posters from the Soviet era and not linking them to modern realities).

    My personal rating is 8.5 out of 10, but I rated it 10 out of 10 to compensate for negative reviews from offended individuals.

    Triple AAA game where everything is at a high level of quality. Rarity. He also threw a ball for the filigree aesthetics of the Soviet Union. Passed and want more. I honestly don't understand how anyone can dislike this game. Soul and mind are invested in it.

    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.
