    after playing atomic heart, I visited the alternative universe of the USSR in a peculiar way, I really liked the gameplay, the plot, I hope in the future the game will have different DLC

    Beam of light in the dark realm. At least someone does not listen to the minority with the agenda in mind. Great Game!

    Atomic Heart is both an awesome and annoying game, never ending ciphers that are not necessary from a gameplay perspective, and looting that is fun for the first 5h then it becomes a necessity rather than an interesting mechanic. Beautiful graphics and awesome music are constantly broken by going from point A to point B which are far away without any interesting points in between.

For looters - gamers like me this game is truly an ambivalent game.

    Pretty decent. It is definitely has some things to criticize such as quite tasteless combat, absolutely useless stealth option, and sometimes empty world outside of a plot areas. As far as I can understand the game is full of references and memes that only ex-ussr players can recognize, that’s a minus indeed. Obviously the developers tried to do more that they really could.

    It's been a long time since we had such a fresh AAA project. Passed the game in 3 nights, that's exactly how Half life 3 should be.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра хорошая, провел в нем 21 час. Ремиксы наших любимых песен просто топ. А что касается боевки, она хорошая, игра заставляет использовать все оружия для борьбы против Вовчиков и тд. а чего стоят Элеонора и ее похотливые шуточки. А что касается главного героя, маты летят как у "сапожника" что очень "похоже" на русско-говорящих людей. Графику тоже отметить, для некстген игры она очень приятна. К покупке игру советую.… Expand

    Mundfish really did a great work on this game, especially this is their first AAA-game, pretty good gameplay, banger soundtrack (soviet music with doom-style heavy riffs), fantastic optimisation, found some similarities with prey 2017 (loved the opening scene in both games)

    armageddon difficulty is unbalanced tho, abusing zvezdochka flying blades and telekinesis with restoring energy skill

    Игра показывает СССР в фантастическом, я бы даже сказал в фэнтезийном ключе. Никакой пропаганды коммунизма в ней нет. Душу греет множество культурных отсылок. В отношении студии было много скепсиса, но в итоге они сделали достойный продукт. Естественно, никаких инноваций и прорывов не несёт. Крепкий середняк. Диванные воины и лицемеры идут найух. Идите людям помогать, а не с играми воюйте.Игра показывает СССР в фантастическом, я бы даже сказал в фэнтезийном ключе. Никакой пропаганды коммунизма в ней нет.

    This game has nothing of its own, everything is stolen from other games. Bad game optimization, bad combat mechanics, stupid story, a lot of bugs, a lot of profanity, USSR propaganda. Don't waste your time and money on this parody of the game.

    Atomic Heart provide a wonderful Utopia with USSR's art for industry,It feels like 'Bioshock' when the game began,But the open-world part was ruined whole design,Also gameplay can be more funny and the skills was too less.After all,This game still great for every FPS player who loved Sci-Fi background,Especially the style of art itself is most unique.

    An interesting game with a certain amount of humor, action, and puzzles. It looks just awesome. I think the scores of players from Russia and the CIS will be higher as the environment, music and some of the scenery evoke cultural nostalgia. After all, even people born after the collapse of the USSR remember some moments from their childhood.

    I have read a lot of comments and am amazed at the ignorance. While focusing on one negative thing, most people simply ignore the rest. It looks like an attempt to deliberately lower one's grade, but not one's personal opinion. On top of that, they are closing access from Russia to metacritic.com. The whole thing is just the standard of bias.    … Expand

    The game is lackluster and rides on the coat tails of games that have already done its concept better.

There is no nuance to its story and the dialogue falls over itself (and overtop of other dialogue with its poor sound design). I feel its controversy helped blind people from the faults of this game. Combat is lack luster, the looting system is okay, and the characters are just bland. Its strongest aspects are its art design and its music. Even for music though it doesn't fit the tone that this game wants to present, or at least tries to present. While Mick's ost is great as always, I think the game is strongest when it relies on classical pieces to elevate the tone of the game. Overall the game has been done and is very uninspiring.… Expand

    A great game from developers from the CIS. The concepts of the game began to appear back in 2008, but have reached our days and there was a successful release. Excellent optimization. The best gaming start of the year.

    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.
