    Incredibile experience, combining shooting and Power. The story Is great and the main character Is a really bad guy. To improve shooting, hand combact.

    5. Storytelling: the storytelling to be somewhat disjointed or hard to follow.

    While the CEO of Mundfish and coworkers who worked on the creation of this game promote communism and neo-Nazi ideology through this game, it's difficult to find positive aspects of the game. It appears to be a part of Russian propaganda, sponsored by the Russian government, aimed at spreading their falsehoods through the gaming world.    … Expand

    What a beautiful game. This reminds me of the old bioshock days. Fun setting and creative way of using powers and weapons. This game is not made by a triple A studio and yet this beautiful quality!

    The game starts with a Royksopp song...what more can I say? That alone had me sucked in. The world is interesting and I love the combat. So much better than how people have reviewed it. I played on PC game pass and now I honestly want it for my PS5.

    Enjoyable game play, great atmosphere and soundtrack, ending isn't the best and I didn't like the mechanic of hives as often I felt like exploring wasn't rewarding.

    I really wanted to like Atomic Heart. I am a sucker when it comes to sci fi dystopian worlds. But the one thing that really held this game back was everything just felt such a drag. Its like everything just took an unnecessary long time. Normally you come across a puzzle and its complete and move on. Atomic Heart is more complete, complete again with extra steps another 2 or 3 times. ButI really wanted to like Atomic Heart. I am a sucker when it comes to sci fi dystopian worlds.

Normally you come across a puzzle and its complete and move on. Atomic Heart is more complete, complete again with extra steps another 2 or 3 times. But after each time we will throw in a ton of enemies just to make it take even longer. If you wanna add new iterations of puzzles that's fine but do this throughout the game not directly after each other. If you wanna add combat encounters then make them meaningful and not just busy work.
    For the story, I kinda lost track tbh cos I kept putting the game down. The combat is fun at 1st but because there is far to many of the same encounters I kept getting sick of it. These devs need to learn about finding the right balance instead of jam packing as much in as they can. Just because something is awesome, what makes it even better is when there is less of it so you can appreciate it more. They got the talent no doubt, but now they need to learn how to execute it correctly.    … Expand

    Сюжет будто обрывается на полуслове. Не люблю такой подход. А в остальном все понравилось - и торжество дизайна и технологии, музыка, подача. Разработчики очень постарались.

    Fanboys of this game rating others as zero.
    Well - enjoy an answer for that.
    Otherwise would've scored it as 5 or 6.

    Tons of bugs, very strange game design in some places, strange balance, this game should have been more polished. Almost in every element of the game, it's felt that this is the first big game of developers and they have lack of experience. This game would be 6-7 out of 10, but critical and annoying bugs ruin everything and and they blocking walkthrough, so that's why this is only 1.

    Feel free to use easy difficulty to never struggle with resources and get ready to ignore the plot and the narrative: both enemies' health bars and dialogues are way too long and annoying.    … Expand

    Погодите, это реально? ДА! Mundfish смогли! Не без огрехов, но на фоне того, что даже именитые студие могут выпускать сейчас, не хочется особо её критиковать Отличный дизайн окружения и врагов, сражаться интересно настолько, что мне не хватило второй фазы у боссов.

Тут и там видеть всё это, мягко говоря, невероятно приятно. Из минусов только катсцены, транспорт, который ломается от чиха и е**чие пи.. ой, т.е. роботы в открытом мире, которые постоянно и постоянно появляются заново, под конец они тупо уже достают тебя В общем, это маленький шаг для мирового геймдева и огромный шаг для всего русского геймдева… Expand

    An excellent game with a brilliant story and fun gameplay. It's a lot like bioshock, not quite as good but still a hell of a lot of fun.
    In my experience most negative reviewers either didn't understand the story / refused to pay attention to it and then complain or did the first mini boss and thought the game was going to be difficult the whole time before even upgrading their weapons.

    A pretty FPS with a nice ambience that feels straight from the mid 20th century. The intro was nice to watch and listen to.
    However the combats are clunky and boring. There is no fun to be had the first two hours and I don't plan to ruin more time by playing further.
    What a disappointment it has been.

    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.
