    AAA game made by newbie developers from the CIS.

    Atomic Heart uses concept of USSR in 50-s. The feeling of nostalgia for most post-soviet players will make you feel great, everything is made very well in terms of atmoshpere. Developers used common sense making characters in game. You can remember a lot of characters that you meet during the walkthrough.

    Atomic Heart uses concept of USSR in 50-s. The feeling of nostalgia for most post-soviet players will make you feel great, everything is made very well in terms of atmoshpere.

    Developers used common sense making characters in game. You can remember a lot of characters that you meet during the walkthrough. Some humans, your smart hand, even some robots. I like the design.

    There are a lot of jokes, dialoges, text stories and audio records. Bad thing that some of them can be skipped just by walking into random map trigger, which causes any audio to stop, so players have to wait if they want to know everything about this world.

    Gunplay is amazing. You can customize your abilities, upgrade you character, upgrade you guns. Hitreg is made pretty good for both melee and long-range weapons. Players have to grind a lot of resources to keep up with strong enemies. Grinding is important thing at the begging of the game, because robots are very thick and it's difficult to defeat them using non upgraded stuff. Mid-game, players will have important upgrades, that'll make gameplay way more interesting.

    Some puzzles are quite interesting. Some puzzles are required to open additional paths and items, some to continue the story.

    The optimisaton is great. Most GPUs can handle this game easily on High settings 60 FPS with 1080p resolution. The bad thing - there's no full ray tracing, only some parts of NVIDIA technology.

    If you like Bioshock series or Metro Exodus, this game might be good for you.    … Expand

    Atomic Heart is really awesome game in the setting like Bioshock. So if you like that games, the game will also best fit for you. Really good atmosphere - soundtracks, visual and common aesthetic.

    Sometimes maybe a bit boring, also we waiting path with subs size, FOV settings and other small and bugs which don't broken gameplay for ideal game but anyway it brilliant game in general.

    Fun gameplay and cool mechanics, also an intriguing plot, all within a stunning world with a nice art direction, just like Bioshock. Detractors just review bomb this game because it does not fit their narrative, but with Bioshock they didn’t seem to have a problem (pretends to be shocked). Both are great.

    Don't listen to these other reviews
    remember this game is the dev's first work
    This game is fantastic, combat is solid and has damage shown on enemies where you hit them and thats such a fantastic detail that many other games dont have, combat is smooth not janky and its very responsive ai is very smart and will try to dodge constantly, enemies may feel a bit tanky but it makes sense    Don't listen to these other reviews

    Excellent sound design. Beautiful graphics. Good atmosphere. Fully translated voice acting - thank you very much for this! The atmosphere of the USSR is beautiful, and not what they usually show us, but no politics. This is the studio's first game - as a debut it's just a great start! I wish good luck to this studio, I hope they will continue to delight us with chic interesting games.

    Looks amazing for very first game from studio. Excellent optimization and music, brilliant environment and graphics, good battle system and storyline. Waiting for DLC's!
    P.S.: Who allowed trash-reviewers like Australian Player2 with 10 views per video at youtube channel? :D its a fckn shame.

    Cult dystopian games come out every 10 years.
    BioShock Infinite came out 10 years ago.
    10 years later, in 2023, the Soviet RoboShock - Atomic Heart is released, which I pre-ordered and have been looking forward to since the very first trailer. All expectations are justified.

    Such a stylish and mind-blowing project! It hasn't been like this for a long time. Amazing optimization and attention to detail. There are flaws, but they can be forgiven, because this is the debut of a new studio.

    Atomic Heart is an ode to Soviet futurism, an ode to unfulfilled hopes. The developers tried to take the best from such games as Bioshock, Prey, Half-Life. I think they succeeded, though with some reservations, because this is the first game from the studio, which consists mainly of inexperienced developers, beginners in the game industry.

    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.
