    Best game of the year!
    Thanks for ost
    So many different references were not yet in any game in the next 5 years. The developers did just a titanic work that brought this project to the end.

    Incredible game with amazing atmosphere! About all the people who says that this game is communist/soviet propaganda I can say people didn’t played this game or just stupid enough to don’t get all references to problems of communist ideology and real Soviet experiences

    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

    Ein gutes Spiel, aber es gibt nur wenige Waffen und das Gefühl ist nicht sehr realistisch. Die Grafik ist jedoch hervorragend mit einer futuristischen Kulisse in Russland. Ich liebe die Robotertänzerinnen im Spiel, sie haben einen neuen Trend für die Gaming-Community gesetzt

    Футуристический СССР и в целом лор игры проработаны хорошо, в игре очень много различных сайд-историй, которые можно узнать из текстовых терминалов и записывающих устройств (хотя, местами, их бывает ОЧЕНЬ много). Встречаются различные отсылки и просто приколы, вписаны они в игру хорошо и глаз от кринжа не режут.

    Геймплей сильно напоминает Prey 2017 года — нужно много лутать, крафтить, собирать себе снаряжение и готовиться к файтам самостоятельно. Для крафта доступна куча оружия + различные умения, которые в процессе игры можно менять по своему вкусу - любые ресурсы, затраченные на что-либо, можно вернуть обратно, отказавшись от предмета/способности, что позволяет перепробовать все доступные в игре абилки/оружие.

    Боевка достаточно динамичная, часто требуется комбинировать использование оружия и способностей, присутствует система уклонений (правда, примитивненькая). Но всё это полноценно прочувствовать можно только на максимальном уровне сложности, на низком/среднем враги практически не представляют опасности и их можно просто перестрелять.

    Босс-файты - нормальные, но ничего особенного. Порой были даже легче, чем обычные волны противников в открытом мире или на сюжетных локациях.

    Сайд-квесты достаточно однообразные, представляют собой лутание экспериментальных полигонов, на которых можно найти ресурсы и чертежи для крафта. К сожалению, они все сводятся к +- одним и тем же действиям и содержат в себе много платформинга, что, на мой взгляд, скорее минус. Загадки в них тоже очень однообразные. Иногда там могут быть мини-боссы.

    Багов в игре практически не встречал, разве что единичные застревания (но выбраться всегда удавалось) и прерывания диалогов (надеюсь, это пофиксят, т.к. бесило просто ужасно).

    Левел-дизайн местами вызывает вопросы — он бывает порой совсем неинтуитивен, типа того же входа в Театр — кто играл, думаю, поймёт.

    В целом, отличный экспириенс, с удовольствием провёл время.

    P.S. По продолжительности игра занимает где-то 20 часов с учётом всех сайд-квестов.    … Expand

    Atomic Heart is a game I was excited to finally play, but went in with low expectations considering how long it was in the oven. The end result is easily one of the best games I have played this year and an experience I recommend everyone dig into. It won’t be for everyone, but for those that it is for it will be an amazing experience.
    Very good game!

    The flashlight is missing, the robots are great, the Soviet setting is fresh.

    Bought it, play through it and wait for the DLC.

    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

    Overall it is a good game though it is probably closer to an 8/10. I'm about 4-5 hours into the game. The combat feels good in terms of fluidity but it can become a bit stale after a while.

The combat feels good in terms of fluidity but it can become a bit stale after a while. Definitely need to keep on top of upgrades and abilities to keep it fresher and be able to compete with stronger enemies. I personally don't mind the protagonist as a character; it can be hard for some to relate to him but once you realize he's a product of his environment, it makes more sense why he is the way he is. The dialogue can be pretty rough though which I think is the game's biggest flaw. Switch to Russian and use subtitles and problem is solved though. Story-wise it's not bad, maybe a little predictable at times but still interesting. The game itself is gorgeous and the art style is wonderful. The character models are great, especially for the more obscure robot types. It also runs very well from a performance standpoint which is very refreshing compared to other games lately.

    I've run into a couple of bugs so far including getting stuck between objects and not being able to get out and the NORA machine's menu not popping up as well as not being able to get out of that screen. Forced me to either reload a previous save or relaunch the game all together. Also, a robot fell halfway through the floor and couldn't get out. If they can fix these bugs and put a little more polish on it in general, I think this game has the potential to be a 9/10.

    If you're a fan of its predecessors like BioShock, the newer Doom games, Wolfenstein... etc., you'll love this game. If you want an open-world game like most other games these days, then you probably won't. Contrary to popular belief, this is not an open-world game and never claimed to be. It is a narrative experience with larger open areas and has a linearity associated with that genre (like its predecessors) that helps keep the player engaged in the story and not distracted by other locations and rinse and repeat side quests.

    Giving this game a 10/10 because of all the review bombers. A solid game from Mundfish as their first AAA IP they've released!    … Expand

    Everything I wanted comes I this game. A weird world that is interesting to explore and honestly haunting. The gameplay is straight from the bioshock infinite but with a lot more impact. The dialog can be cringe worthy, but i appreciated the world building it provided. The music rocks my socks I do say

    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.
