    Я про саму игру.
    1. Нет 50% звуков окружений, как в катсценах, так и непосредственно в игре.
    Например: лифт бабы зины падает без звука, но с искрами. Предметы поднятые телекинезом ударяются с эффектами разрушений/частиц , но так же без звука. И так до бесконечности.
    2. Частые вылиты без ошибок и сомнительная оптимизация. Мыльноватая игра в 60 фпс - это не оптимизация.
    3. У НПС одинаковые лица, а стартовая локация которая должна подарить вам атмфосферу, фулл забита каким-то абсурдным безумием. Вспомните роботов на беговой дорожке в самом начале игры, и то, что перед ними на ТРЁХ мониторах. Какие, ****Ь, заблокированные двери и потерянный к ним доступ?)))
    4. ГГ - былдо. Очень глупое, карикатурное и стереотипное. Его действия, слова и мысли не согласуются друг с другом. Самый простой пример: ГГ считает чуть ли не честью работать на главного учёного. При этом, такого же работягу как он, он презирает, т.к. тот "шестёрка". Лол, что?)
    5. Абсолютно напрочь убитая логика. На двери висит замок, но он ФИЗИЧЕСКИ ни как дверь не закрывает. При этом, пока ты его не снимешь, ты по какой-то причине не можешь просто потянуть дверь на себя.
    6. До абсурда безмозглый ИИ. В катсценах вовчики устраивают хитрые ловушки и садистки убивают людей. В игре, они застревают в дверном проёме, бегая туда-сюда, пока ты не спровоцируешь его атаковать тебя в ударом.

    Этот список можно продолжать долго. И это впечатление от первых двух часов игры.
    Это стыдно. Это позорно.    … Expand

    I'm struggling to put a finger on exactly what kind of awfulness we're dealing with here. The plot can't even be described as bad; it's just plain dull.

And don't even get me started on the protagonist - what a numbskull. As for the gameplay, it's a tedious cycle of running between uninspired tasks that make drinking coffee feel like a monumental achievement. There's no immersion to be had here, no sense of impact - it might impress someone who's never played a video game before, but for anyone else, it falls flat. And while the graphics are passable in some instances, they hardly push any boundaries. There are some stylistic moments that stand out, but the rest is nothing to write home about unless you're a die-hard fan of Soviet aesthetics - and even they will tire of it before long. This game might have been impressive back in 2007, or even five years ago, but in today's market, it's just not worth the price of admission. At best, it's worth 30% of what they're asking for.… Expand

    Just a carbon copy of Bioshock series, in every level but with a pseudo soviet theme. Bad fighting mechanics, sickening head movement, endless dialogs explaining everything everytime and a bad soundtrack. The good side is the graphics and the attention of the graphics details, but the gameplay is unbalanced along with a terrible combat system.

    In spite of amazing visuals, Atomic Heart left me cold. A Pavlovian approach to game play, combined with a lack of effective weapons, was simply frustrating and boring.

    Bioshock Infinite is still number one, in my book, for this kind of game. Shame the developers didn't take a closer look at how they did things. Suffice to say, wasted potential.

    A crooked parody of Bioshock, but with a primitive plot and propaganda of murderous Putinism. A representative of the service of the USSR, who tortured and shot people - a "good" example of a character who was literally painted as a terrorist Putin

    Looks like demo, not a real game: the world around is not interactive, the dialogues are cringe-worthy, and the idea is copied from bioshock.

You don’t feel firearms at all, you shoot, as if with rubber bullets, opponents absolutely do not react to hits. Also bloated open spaces where there is ABSOLUTELY nothing to do, they are literally empty, all you can do there is run into a new bunch of opponents. The game certainly has its advantages. Interesting and colorful characters, interesting setting, lore and the story itself, but the main character is stuffy and not interesting at all, just a talking box through which we interact with the world and characters. In short, something like this. This is my subjective opinion, and I believe that this game deserves a maximum rating of 3 points.… Expand

    PROS : nice graphics. Fascinating visual design.
    CONS : Worst main character in video gaming history. Cringe level at the maximum. He talk ALL THE TIME and you won't be able to stand it more than 5 min. No difficulty balancing, but really none, it doesn't make sense. Poor game design. The storyline seems to have been written by a 12 year old kid. Really dumb story & characters.

The positive reviews I see are something to the effect of "Wow Bioshock Infinite meets Wolfenstein!" or "SovietShock!" and ignore anything about the actual game it self.

    Cons: - The first thing I noticed during the opening cutscenes was that when I panned to either side as far as I could go it would push my camera back to the center an inch, or so, if I wasn't actively pushing it that direction. Why? Let me look at my surroundings.
    - The voice acting is trash. It has no emotion and doesn't match what's going on in the actual scene or moment in the game. It has some Tommy Wiseau in The Room level editing where voice lines are almost on top of each other before the other character has really even finished speaking. Along with the bad voice acting/editing is the bad sound design. There were often times where there was sound just straight up missing or mismatched. The part where Granny fires the rocket launcher the sound was basically just not there.. Felt like an alpha build of the game which is sad considering this part took place in under the first hour of the game. I thought maybe the voice acting would take a back seat to the other features of the game but no. The main character and his sentient glove talk nonstop. The dialogue is real
    - It's buggy. One of the very first enemies comes through a door which I attacked, and then he got stuck behind the door. I could attack and kill him, but I couldn't loot him. The door never opened again. Some enemies flash on screen before actually showing up and are attackable.
    - The looting. The looting is the most tedious thing about this game. It's marketed as an easy "continue to hold F and and you vacuum everything up" when in reality you have to hold F in very specific spots, and for long enough, or it doesn't count if you've looted it entirely and you miss items. There's also entirely too many objects to loot which adds to the tediousness.
    - Batman detective mode. The radar mode helps slightly with making sure you loot everything but it's super inconsistent. Certain items are visible super far away and some not; some visible around corners and some not. Felt like I was constantly pulling it up, and when I didn't I would pull it up to find I missed a single metal crouton in a single pencil drawer in a room full of 50 different lootable filing cabinets.
    - Combat isn't great. The responsiveness of the dodge and light attack seem to work well. But the first upgrade you get is a whirlwind heavy attack. Takes a long time to complete, spins your vision, and you can be hit while finishing the long attack time. I'm sure it works ok with upgraded versions of the freeze and shield, but why bother when you can light attack, dodge without getting dizzy.
    - Platforming. Feels like the most tacked on aspect of the game. The game doesn't explain at all how to move while climbing walls and pipes. I just moved my mouse and character around until eventually my character awkwardly put out his arm and then I knew "oh ok now its time for me to jump". A lot of the time you jump and miss. Instead of falling all the way down you get caught on an weird part of the geometry like a crack in the cement wall that clearly isn't meant to be stood upon.
    - Horny fridge? Why? Just why? I guess it fits with the terrible writing.

    Pros: Runs well, looks nice, and the environments are well done. That's it. That's literally all of it.

    Normally don't write reviews but this is genuinely one of the worst games I've played to date. Felt worth saying something against all of the "positive" reviews that don't actually say anything about the game. All of this in under two hours of game play. Refunded it.    … Expand

    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.
