    This game is horrible 17 bugs in 12 hours of play, no inventory, no weapons, cant attacks, doors keeping lock after opened, dying in the plant part literally close the main gate and i cannot advanced more, this is the most frustrating game i ever play, cyberpunk looks beautiful beside this

    Honestly I was expecting less......
    4 years ago, when the game was just announced, I was very surprised (I'm from Russia) and it was until February last year, honestly, I thought that the game would be saturated with propaganda for the current situation, but this did not happen to my surprise.
    The only nitpick about the gameplay, I just got bored of killing robots)

    - ucranianos o gente politicamente correcta ( que ve bien joder a un pueblo que no tiene la culpa de nada de lo que haga su presidente, asi son ellos )
    - haters de xbox o fans de sony, debido a que el juego ha salido en gamepass
    - otros politicamente correctos que no saben ver el humor bizarro y negro del juego
    - fans de bioshock cabreados por que su empresa tiene el juego muerto

    combate: el juego tiene un combate de 10, si, lo sabemos, no hace nada nuevo pero ¿de verdad hay algun juego a dia de hoy que haga algo nuevo? el ultimo juego realmente innovador en estos tiempos ha sido botw cambiando la manera de hacer mundos abiertos, y tampoco es un antes y despues en la industria, el juego bebe mucho de doom y bioshock, pero lo mezcla perfectamente, no hay combate dificil que no puedas ganar, si pierdes, es tu culpa, los enemigos estan bien diseñados, y el juego es frenetico pero sin convertir al personaje en una nave espacial

    historia: aqui puede que el juego flaque, pero cumple, es el minimo o un poco mas, la gente dice que los dialogos son cringe, pero son bastante buenos de hecho, dicen insultos a mas no poder y el juego tiene accion como el solo, pero el mundo y su ambientacion lo arreglan, no sabeis la cantidad de tramas que se pueden explorar en el

    graficos e animaciones: un puto 10, no hay nada mas que decir, solo la primera pelea de boss se folla a cualquier pelea actual en ese sentido

    enemigos: tienen patrones de ataques aprendibles, con sentido, sobre todo los bosses que son una genialidad, y en opinion personal quiero destacar al primer boss, la bola rodatoria de los cojones, es l polla

    fanservice: aqui le doy algo negativo, por las dos robots de schekenov (todos sabemos cuales son) pero es lo unico

    mundo abierto: es que no es ni un mundo abierto, es zona abierta, sirve de zona entre nivel y nivel, puedes explorar, hay un monton de zonas, el mapa te indica unas pocas cosas pero tu te encargas de como hacer funcionar las cosas o encontrar las llaves a las puertas, etc. . en ese aspecto me encanta, te ayuda lo minimo

    armas y mejoras: hay un monton, empiezas con una cosa y acabas con otra diferente, al principio mas de 10 enemigos te joderan vivo, pero al final, acabaras en combates contra 20-30 a la vez

    Para mi el juego es un 10, es de mis juegos favoritos, creo que le consigo cojer un cariño especial a juegos maltratados y este es uno de ellos, me gusta mas que doom eternal en mi mas sincera opinion (MI OPINION!!) es de los pocos juegos de esta decada grandes que encima no ha salido roto

    JUGAD A ATOMIC HEART, es el primer juego del estudio EL PRIMERO!! han estado mas de 4 años desarrollandolo, tiene un cariño enorme detras, separad la politica, son russos ¿y que? y dejad de tiraros al cuello de cualquier juego si sale al gamepass

    el juego coje varios conceptos, los mete a su estilo y le ha salido un juego UNICO para nada generico como muchos dicen, no innova, pero no le hace falta hacer nada nuevo para ser de los mejores juegos de la decada y para mi, mi goty indiscutible.

    uno de mis juegos favoritos de aqui hasta muchos años

    ah, y cuando os fies de las notas de la prensa. . recordad que esto tiene la misma nota que pokemon escarlata y purpura en metacritic.    … Expand

    Developers seem to have tried to copy good mechanics from good games but failed. The game could be used as a bad game design guide. A lot of tech problems. A lot of issues with sound design. Bad voice acting. Bad level design. Bad combat design. Awful game

    I want to express my gratitude to Mundfish for this creation. Over the past ten years, not many beautiful, interesting, exciting games have come out. But this game is one of that list.

    Atomic Heart about smart heads and cold hearts.

    I'm already waiting for the DLC and the sequel :) It's especially cool if the story of the twins is revealed there, who has completed the game knows what I'm talking about.

    Pros:
    + Beautiful visual, very nice picture and beautiful characters.
    + Quality sound, ambient sounds, soundtracks and voice acting, especially Russian voice acting. Yes, yes, the voice for babushka Zina is actually suitable.
    + An interesting story, the plot is passed in one breath. *SPOILER* thought out to such trifles as music from the future.
    + Hardcore game, or rather the strength of even simple "Vovchick" makes casual players cry.
    + Large variation of weapons and skills.
    + Quite interesting "side quests" that help the game interact with the game world, although it may seem to someone that it is bring - give it. This is an RPG game.
    + Twin robots.
    + There are no stupid Western agendas of the 21st century in this game.
    + There is humor with different overtones. 18+ game.
    Cons:
    - The main character has a hairstyle that is not typical for 1955 in the USSR - this makes the look at the character not entirely authentic.
    - Bosses are actually quite easy.
    - **** Pie" - the protagonist's redundancy.
    - Manual saves are already too much, sometimes they can roll back the game progress by 30 minutes back, due to the oversight of the player who *died*.

    For Mundfish's first game, this is a very good result. This gives hope that game developers know how to make games. Note to other AAA game developers.
    We are proud that our Russian guys were able to do such a miracle, thanks again to Mundfish!    … Expand

    Graphics. 9/10
    One of the standout features of Atomic Heart is its stunning visuals. The game's graphics are truly breathtaking, with incredibly detailed environments and character designs that really bring the world to life. -1 score because of lack of RTX on release version.

    Art and music. 10/10
    The artists tried to convey the atmosphere of the USSR and they succeeded. Cars, buildings, posters - all this takes the player to the era of the 50s. The musical component also does its job. Nothing more to add than to rate 10!

    Gameplay. 9/10
    The mechanics of Atomic Heart is what caught my attention in trailers and pre-release reviews. Combat system at the highest level, all damage is calculated correctly and without glitches, as it was in dark souls and elden ring. Customizing and upgrading weapons is what you will have to do throughout your journey through the 3826 complex. Fortunately, it's not even boring! Puzzles in the levels of the game and on the polygons really often make the gray matter move. I’ll be lying if I say that I didn’t watch the walkthrough on YouTube 2-3 times...

    Story. 8/10
    I will not go into details, and especially in spoilers, but I will say that the story did not really interest me at first. I would generally divide the game into 2 parts, in terms of the main story, where the first part is quite extended and trivial. Action begins in the middle of the game, and the plot, like the main characters, begins to reveal theirselfs. You are really imbued with the feelings and curious nature of P3, although he is slow-witted in many places, the smart glove HRAZ will always explain through the hero, to us players, what is happening here. Baba Zina as a separate masterpiece of art. Also, the final throws a bait for the sequel.

    NPCs and open-world. 7/10
    The characters are well written, but at the same time quite readable. The variety of robots is great, but at the end of the game even this becomes boring. The bosses are simple, I spent a maximum of 3 attempts on each (dark souls tempers in this regard). But the main disadvantage of this game, in my opinion, is the presence of an open world. This is exactly the case when the open world spoils the overall picture. It is bad and simply unnecessary. Endless hordes of robots and generally no activity of additional tasks and other things.

    I also want to note that I noticed a lot of references for games such as Portal, with its puzzles and rooms, and the Dominator gun, which vaguely reminds me of a portal gun. The story itself, or rather its development, is very reminiscent of Half Life. And in the moments where the cob sits on the head of a dead soldier and starts running at you like a zombie, it threw me back to my childhood.

    In general, the game is played with pleasure in 2-3 days, and I can definitely recommend this game for attention.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Someone once called Atomic Heart the "Bolshevik Bioshock." This is a succinct, accurate view from my experience. The world is a bit hollow, as so much of what you see is just decorations. You can't pop the balloons with your axe. The hanging dead bodies look like statutes and they're impervious to your attacks as well. You can knock over a few things, but not most. It's a shame as the world looks nice, however you can't interact with it much.

    Several cliches abound, starting with the giant happy world of tomorrow crashing and going off the rails. Speaking of crashing, how many games have a flying crash in the introduction now? Then you find your token melee weapon right away, and slowly find other ballistic weapons as you go. Some doors are blocked with devices that remind me of Half-Life or Dishonored. You'll find fires that burn endlessly, transportation systems on the fritz, happy computer voices telling you to calmly evacuate, and all the other tropes of the genre.

    You're now ready to follow the advice of your onboard AI Cortana, I mean Charles, as he directs you around the world by the hand (literally, as he's a glove). Several predetermined scenes appear, and you will die a few times if you advance to far and get caught by a digging snake machine or other programmed event. When you do perish, the reload time is long. And for whatever reason, in the year 2023 you cannot save anywhere but are instead limited to specific save rooms. The game may save periodically on its own, but you can't control it. This makes reliving the lame conversations and forced cutscenes particularly annoying.

    Eventually you meet a crass Coke machine looking upgrade box which lets you use your plasmids, I mean neuromod, no wait, it's... neuromodule? So now you have the token electrical power, Shok (cause reasons). You're forced to buy this one so you can shock your way through some doors, just like in BioShock. Other doors will be various lock picking games, because it's a requirement to have lockpicking. Using the potty mouth refrigerator you'll be able to craft upgrades of course, as is the style at the time. You need recipes as the devs don't want you to have too much fun by making the weapons you want before they're ready for you to have access to them. So for now, you've got a fire axe, shotgun, Shok, and maybe one other typical ability, but that's it.

    You then begin to get through the enemies which detect you at great distances and move much faster than you can. If you luck out you can get the Obi Wan approved high ground to chop away as they stand there and take it. You'll slow your walk as you scan the scene with your Detective Vision or whatever the "limited colors see through walls where power ups light up" view. Most of the stuff you loot is just parts for grafting or med kits, taking a good bit of fun out of it.

    However for me, my story ends here as I get soft locked where I'm told I need to buy a power up but I already did. I still get the dialogue option, but cannot activate it, so I die on the laser grid separating me from my next objective. I'll leave the game installed for a bit, but I'm not drawn to it and that's the biggest sign to me. For my money and time, it's not worth it. Your kilometers may vary, and more power to you if so, but for me Atomic Heart is a "нет" at present.

    I'll wait a bit and see if they fix this, but as it stands this is a boring disappointment.    … Expand

    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!

    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.
