    Игра действительно хороша в ней неплохая оптимизация она вылетела за всю игру только 1 раз, так-же баги были но не влияющие на игровой процесс, мне понравился в частности баг в финале когда можно просто слезть с поднимающегося лифта и тем самым провалится под текстуры. Сюжет и музыкальное сопровождение за это действительно плюс мне очень понравилось.

Из минусов и мне показалось что гг слишком много болтает с перчаткой и часто это надоедает очень сильно, а так-же мне не понравилась миссия с колбами и в начале, очень растянутой она мне показалось, а так игра очень даже хороша, не знаю из-за чего многие её захейтили… Expand

    Отличная игра от новой небольшой студии, с красивой графикой и наикрутейшим саундтреком, атмосферой с ретрофутуризмом!

    Игра пушка-бомба!! Конечно были сомнения, но после выхода игра меня очень удивила. Техническое состояние (что в наше время вообще редкость) отличное. На 3060 ti в 2к с ультра настройками - все летает. Мир очень красивый. Музыка отдельный респект. Геймплей за 16 часов совсем не надоел. Так что от меня заслуженная 10)Игра пушка-бомба!!

    Totally a masterpiece!
    Honestly, I was shocked when first launched it. Soviet utopia never looked so nice like that.

    Sadly, to understand the genius of style refactoring you need to have lived somewhere in CIS.

    Graphics are too notch. Game play and combat are very very fun and slightly addicting. Story is funny and edgy. And best of all it’s not like all most all new games are right now. Which is super politically correct and watered down with **** I could of done without The overwhelming communist tone. But that’s my capitalist opinion lol.

    Это великолепная игра. Начиная с музыки чудеснейшей, которая войдет в историю, как и сама игра будет в истории. Я думаю, что это не у меня одного такое ощущение, что родилась легенда. Пусть сюжет и скомканный в конце, но блин, это шутан, и в него реально интересно играть. Да и сам сюжет и лор игры прописан хорошо, реально интересно было слушать щебетари и читать компьютеры.

    Wow this game is gorgeous and simply looks and feels fresh. They did a great job with attention to detail into the world design. The entire thing is just one big eye-candy.

    Gunplay is amazing but melee can be a bit clunky. Enemies aren't as bullet-spongy as you see in many other games which is good. Except Plyushch because **** that thing. It barely flinches with your attacks. Repair    Wow this game is gorgeous and simply looks and feels fresh. They did a great job with attention to detail into the world design.

    Gunplay is amazing but melee can be a bit clunky. Enemies aren't as bullet-spongy as you see in many other games which is good. Except Plyushch because **** that thing. It barely flinches with your attacks. Repair drones are obnoxious and shouldn't have been implemented in the first place and causes some balance issues in the combat.

    Story is very outlandish and ridiculous. The USSR leapfrogged 200 years technologically within just 10 years by 1955 after the end of WWII? Yeah, no. Even for sci-fi it's just too ridiculous. But fun nonetheless and there are quite a few hilarious moments too.

    There are some stealth elements but very badly implemented. You can take down one or maybe two enemies but stealthing your way through any area completely is just impossible. You move like snail while crouching and there is no unlockable skill to improve that. Or any skills whatsoever to improve stealth as far as I see so far.

    Your player character is very unlikeable. He is a petulant, chronic complainer and a stereotypical always-angry military hard-ass tough-guy with a douchy hairdo. Rarely does he open his mouth and says something positive despite literally traversing through a world full of technological marvels. It's like he doesn't even want to be in this game and just wants to go home. He doesn't even say anything let alone anything nice when acquiring a badass new weapon or a mod. I would have vastly preferred a silent protagonist over this.

    Quest design can be a bit last-gen-ish. You go fetch X many stuff to do Y in order to open a door to progress into the main story. It gets repetitive, boring and grindy very quickly. But there are things to do to keep it all interesting enough.

    Performance wise the game is very well optimized on PC and runs smooth as butter for the most part. Quite surprising in the year 2023 for a new release. However there are quite a few minor bugs here and there and I've gotten stuck in random places and corners multiple times and have had to restart last save to get out them. Very disappointing.

    Last thing, I don't care for the controversy surrounding this game. I'm 100% against Russian invasion of Ukraine and fully support nothing short of the total annihilation of Russian presence over there. But this game isn't Russian glorification or Soviet propaganda as many loud-mouths are claiming. If anything, it portrays Soviet-era propaganda. How the **** would you portray propaganda in a story other than just, portraying it? The story actually criticizes both Communism and Capitalism. Your player character saying "glory to the Soviet Union" isn't propaganda that should call for a ban. Being a Russian game dev or a story-teller isn't a crime. It's even refreshing to see a non-Western newbie game dev coming out with such a banger on their first try.

    I'm playing it on Xbox GamePass but wouldn't have bought it full price and would rather have waited for a sale, because it's not worth a AAA price.    … Expand

    A well-optimized game, which is a rarity these days. The story is great, the graphics are great. 10 points because it's a good release, unlike other recent AAA games. And because of the ballerinas. Finally, someone was not afraid to share beautiful female characters.

    It's been a while sonce I've fallen in love with a world and gane play. The voice acting is fine - at fkrst annoying but their banter grew on me. Bullet sponge enemies OR fight them with their weakneses in mind. Just finished theater section and really..really enjoying myself. It's kind of like bioshock and fallout had a baby who was raised by a fan of Far Cry and visual story telling.It's been a while sonce I've fallen in love with a world and gane play.

The studio's dedication to creating unique and immersive gaming experiences is clearly evident in every aspect of Atomic Heart, from its stunning visuals to its intricate storyline and engaging gameplay mechanics.

    Atomic Heart is a game that truly delivers an immersive and engaging game experience. From the moment you start playing, the game's stunning visuals and unique atmosphere draw you in, transporting you to a world that is both familiar and completely foreign.

    The gameplay mechanics are top-notch, with a variety of weapons and abilities that allow for a fully customized approach to each encounter. The game's storyline is equally impressive, weaving a complex and intricate narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

    But what really sets Atomic Heart apart is its attention to detail. Every aspect of the game, from the sound design to the character animations, is executed flawlessly, creating a truly immersive world.

    Overall, Atomic Heart is a game that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a truly exceptional gaming experience. Mundfish has truly themselves with this game, and I have no doubt that they will continue to produce exceptional games that push the boundaries of what is possible in the gaming industry. If you're a fan of high-quality, immersive gaming experiences, then you owe it to yourself to check out Atomic Heart, and keep an eye on what Mundfish has in store for the future.    … Expand

    The one and the best game shooter from Mordor! The developers did not invent a bicycle, but gave already familiar mechanics and an interesting plot under a delicious sauce. And surprisingly there was no propoganda and everyone was satisfied, so far)

    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.
