    Graphics are too notch. Game play and combat are very very fun and slightly addicting. Story is funny and edgy. And best of all it’s not like all most all new games are right now. Which is super politically correct and watered down with **** I could of done without The overwhelming communist tone. But that’s my capitalist opinion lol.

    Wow this game is gorgeous and simply looks and feels fresh. They did a great job with attention to detail into the world design. The entire thing is just one big eye-candy.

    Gunplay is amazing but melee can be a bit clunky. Enemies aren't as bullet-spongy as you see in many other games which is good. Except Plyushch because **** that thing. It barely flinches with your attacks. Repair
    Wow this game is gorgeous and simply looks and feels fresh. They did a great job with attention to detail into the world design. The entire thing is just one big eye-candy.

    Gunplay is amazing but melee can be a bit clunky. Enemies aren't as bullet-spongy as you see in many other games which is good. Except Plyushch because **** that thing. It barely flinches with your attacks. Repair drones are obnoxious and shouldn't have been implemented in the first place and causes some balance issues in the combat.

    Story is very outlandish and ridiculous. The USSR leapfrogged 200 years technologically within just 10 years by 1955 after the end of WWII? Yeah, no. Even for sci-fi it's just too ridiculous. But fun nonetheless and there are quite a few hilarious moments too.

    There are some stealth elements but very badly implemented. You can take down one or maybe two enemies but stealthing your way through any area completely is just impossible. You move like snail while crouching and there is no unlockable skill to improve that. Or any skills whatsoever to improve stealth as far as I see so far.

    Your player character is very unlikeable. He is a petulant, chronic complainer and a stereotypical always-angry military hard-ass tough-guy with a douchy hairdo. Rarely does he open his mouth and says something positive despite literally traversing through a world full of technological marvels. It's like he doesn't even want to be in this game and just wants to go home. He doesn't even say anything let alone anything nice when acquiring a badass new weapon or a mod. I would have vastly preferred a silent protagonist over this.

    Quest design can be a bit last-gen-ish. You go fetch X many stuff to do Y in order to open a door to progress into the main story. It gets repetitive, boring and grindy very quickly. But there are things to do to keep it all interesting enough.

    Performance wise the game is very well optimized on PC and runs smooth as butter for the most part. Quite surprising in the year 2023 for a new release. However there are quite a few minor bugs here and there and I've gotten stuck in random places and corners multiple times and have had to restart last save to get out them. Very disappointing.

    Last thing, I don't care for the controversy surrounding this game. I'm 100% against Russian invasion of Ukraine and fully support nothing short of the total annihilation of Russian presence over there. But this game isn't Russian glorification or Soviet propaganda as many loud-mouths are claiming. If anything, it portrays Soviet-era propaganda. How the **** would you portray propaganda in a story other than just, portraying it? The story actually criticizes both Communism and Capitalism. Your player character saying "glory to the Soviet Union" isn't propaganda that should call for a ban. Being a Russian game dev or a story-teller isn't a crime. It's even refreshing to see a non-Western newbie game dev coming out with such a banger on their first try.

    I'm playing it on Xbox GamePass but wouldn't have bought it full price and would rather have waited for a sale, because it's not worth a AAA price.

    Atomic Heart is a game that truly delivers an immersive and engaging game experience. From the moment you start playing, the game's stunning visuals and unique atmosphere draw you in, transporting you to a world that is both familiar and completely foreign.

    The gameplay mechanics are top-notch, with a variety of weapons and abilities that allow for a fully customized approach to each encounter. The game's storyline is equally impressive, weaving a complex and intricate narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

    But what really sets Atomic Heart apart is its attention to detail. Every aspect of the game, from the sound design to the character animations, is executed flawlessly, creating a truly immersive world.

    Overall, Atomic Heart is a game that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a truly exceptional gaming experience. Mundfish has truly themselves with this game, and I have no doubt that they will continue to produce exceptional games that push the boundaries of what is possible in the gaming industry. If you're a fan of high-quality, immersive gaming experiences, then you owe it to yourself to check out Atomic Heart, and keep an eye on what Mundfish has in store for the future.

Played on PC, medium skill gamer, started on medium difficulty then switched to hard for better experience.
    For anyone out there reading this - ignore other reviews that contain "bad optimization" (on PC; that might be a thing on consoles, I have no idea) and "soviet propaganda", since the game runs great and once you play the game and finish it you'll see what the story is really about.

    Well optimized beautiful game with good gameplay. Good story, strong role of main character, yet awkward voice acting (Filatova is bad in Russian) from time to time and lots of references and easter eggs for ethnical post-soviet players that makes poking around in notes, messages and audios much more interesting. Ambient music is good, combat music is great yet some gameplay stutters at large combat areas makes it stop, that's frustrating.
    Sidenote. Beating around the bush about sex is just great way to go to make fun of ideological facade of society. You may find it misplaced, I find it hilarious.
    Great game. 9/10. My score is based on fact that I'm ethnical Russian, your experience may vary.
    PS: I have no idea why does so many reviews compares it to BioShock, since there's nothing common between these two games except somewhat retro-futuristic setting and combat "powers".

    Отличная оптимизация, хороший геймплей и отлично срежисированная история. Сюжет хороший, но возможно не хватает развития в первой половине игры. Окружение и мир созданы с большим вниманием к деталям. Главный герой отыгрывает свою роль отлично. Российская озвучка великолепная, кроме Филатовой. Игра захватывает внимание. 9/10.

There are bugs in the game, such as: it is not possible to collect a resource from the corpses of bosses, enemies get stuck in textures, it is impossible to loot boxes that lie horizontally. Also weak optimization on the xbox series s. the plot is normal, but not as good as it could be.

And the most important minus for me is a boring open world, yes there are polygons that are interesting to clear, but I would like more, secondary tasks from the same baba Zina, and non-story locations are of the same type.
    Anyway, this is a quality project, it was released quite ready and the plot, dialogues, humor, characters are all at the highest level. Hopefully more open world add-ons will be added in future DLC and patches.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Atomic Heart offers many positive aspects that make it an enjoyable experience. Firstly, the campaign is well-constructed and gives players a satisfying feeling of accomplishment. The story is engaging and easy to follow until the end of the game when the hand AI becomes the villain. The guns in the game feel great to use, and resources are easy to obtain, which makes for a smooth gameplay experience. The gameplay itself is fun and exciting, with interesting boss fights, despite some glitches that affected the game's performance. The character development is also fantastic, with the protagonist P3 being a standout character due to his cocky yet humorous personality. Additionally, the open-world setting and the narrative placement are intriguing, and the game manages to blend elements from other popular games like Wolfenstein and BioShock into something unique. Finally, the character Granny stands out for her heart and her role in helping the protagonist.

    However, the game also has several negative aspects that detract from the overall experience. The gameplay can become repetitive, and boss fights can take an excessive amount of time, sometimes over an hour at the beginning of the game . The game also suffers from bugs that can affect the gameplay and cause crashes. The robot chainsaws are also not enjoyable to kill and they are annoying AF. While the open-world aspect of the game looks cool, it feels more linear and Hands-On. The game can also overload players with too many enemies, leading to performance issues and even crashes on my computer and on xbox. Finally, the sexy robot voice box crafting new items and you have to wait until it's done making the created item can become annoying and disrupt the flow of the game.

    In summary, Atomic Heart offers an enjoyable campaign with engaging characters and an interesting narrative placement. The gameplay is fun and exciting, with great gun and melee weapons mechanics and accessible resources. However, the game suffers from repetitive gameplay, lengthy boss fights, bugs, and other issues that can detract from the experience. Despite these drawbacks, the game remains an engaging and entertaining experience overall.

    - After choosing a skill tree perk of "gain more loot when killing frozen enemies", I noticed that the humanoid shaped enemies would leave no loot at all when they were killed while frozen, as their corpse disintegrates into ice cubes. This defeated the point of aquiring that perk.
    - During the final boss battle the enemies became stuck in place after defeating them, forcing me to restart and beat them again.
    - I became stuck in the map while climbing out of a pool multiple times.
    - I defeated a puzzle in a way they hadn't intended, which kept me from exiting the puzzle until I had completed it.

    Other cons: During an early dungeon you have to solve a puzzle and then immediately fight a pretty tough boss. If you died you have to re-solve the puzzle which was easy but time consuming, and no way to save in between. I died about 7 times to this boss, doing a 4 minute puzzle 7 times in a row was very cumbersome.
    - Although controls are mappable, quick time events are hard locked to use Q, E, F and spacebar. I'm a dinosaur that uses arrow keys to move so it was a chore to move my hand over and find those keys in a timely fashion, and missing just one button press resulted in death.
    - There is a ledge climbing/shuffling mechanic which works well enough but it's really slow and becomes a chore if you fall and have to re-do sections.

    The combat is pretty fun but it relies heavily on melee combat. The melee combat is fairly good overall, despite what others have said I felt like the weapons had impact and feedback. The downside is that dodging is an essential part of combat and it becomes extremely easy to get caught on little corners of items around you, making you get stuck in place and hit. It also became very frustrating during segment with multiple enemies that have the ability to knock you down, as you'd sometimes get caught in a string of knockdowns and unable to do much else.

    On to the pros:
    - This is just a very unique and overall fun game. Combat is generally fun aside from the nagging issues I mentioned, I wish it had featured gunplay over melee. At times you'd come across an area where it was just a couple of enemies at first and then more would join in and the music would ramp up and become louder and it all just worked really well to make combat enjoyable. Kind of felt a little like Doom 2016 at times with the dodging and shooting/hitting, waiting for powers to cooldown, etc.
    - This game has the coolest looting mechanic to date, you simply hold a button down and it hoovers up all the loot in the area that you're looking at. It's fun to watch doors and shelves fly open and that loot get hoovered right up.
    - Skill trees allow you various abilities such as a cryogenic jet which freezes enemies, Shok which shocks them and stuns them, polymer cannon which covers them in goo and can enhance other damage types, a temporary shield, and telekenesis which allows you to pick enemies up into the air. If you want to reset your skills there's no penalty for doing so.
    - Guns can be upgraded and you can find attachments for them that improve stats or change functionality.
    - The environmental puzzles are good enough to be a stand alone game. There are several "testing ground" areas where you solve a series of puzzles or win fights and there are bronze, silver and gold weapon upgrades as you proceed through each stage of the dungeon. Even though I had completed the story I went back just to complete all of the testing grounds because I enjoy puzzles.
    - Speaking of puzzles many locked doors require a small and simple puzzle to be completed, usually clicking things to a certain timing or simple rotational puzzles, they were never very difficult.
    - The story was interesting and fairly unique i'll leave it at that to avoid spoilers.
    - Voice acting is good and the main character is relatable for a change, I often laughed at his jokes or insults, at times he did come across a bit whiny at times but overall the dialogue and back-and-forth with other characters was enjoyable.

    All in all I really enjoyed my time with the game. If you become quickly frustrated with bugs you might wait until they patch it up a little more

    A solid effort by a new studio that puts some AAA studios to shame when it comes to performance, for the most part Atomic Heart runs incredibly well on PC, with only some minor traversal stutter outdoors and some wonky, low frame rate animations here and there.

    A solid effort by a new studio that puts some AAA studios to shame when it comes to performance, for the most part Atomic Heart runs incredibly well on PC, with only some minor traversal stutter outdoors and some wonky, low frame rate animations here and there. The majority of the game is spent indoors where the game runs flawlessly.

    The game is let down by a very unlikeable protagonist, an outdoor area that's so full to the brim with enemies that you're never given a chance to explore and a confusing, poorly written script. The game also has the most puzzles I have ever experienced in a video game, they're non stop and repeated throughout the entire game, it felt like every door had a locking mechanism that required you to do another puzzle, it became very tiresome.

    Gameplay was solid for the most part, with plenty of upgrades and unlocks to hunt for, but at times the game liked sending an overwhelming amount of enemies your way which just felt odd, at times it felt like a horde shooter which Atomic Heart definitely isn't.

    Overall I enjoyed my time with the game and I appreciate how well it runs after playing a slew of AAA titles that suffer from stuttering and poor optimisation. With a little work a potential sequel could be truly great.

The game looks very fresh, the character's narrative is perfectly understandable, you want to explore a world full of difficult puzzles and dangerous opponents.

    Atomic Heart is a game that brings a breath of fresh air.
    But the scenario, the characters, the dubbing, etc. make the game soft and boring.

    We start the game full of optimism,
    we appreciate the game by playing a little more,
    then towards the end we just want the game to stop because we're not into it anymore.

    I was blown by all this love and care that was put into recreating all the little details of soviet aesthetic: from great music, to things like vending machine, serving sparkling water or lemonade. And the cherry on top was the whole style and humour of this game. I suppose it might seem vulgar for somebody, but I absolutely loved finally seeing this kind of humour and beautiful characters in AAA game oriented for Western market.

    Overall, this game left me absolutely satisfied, and I'm happy all this waiting paid off really well. 10/10

    1. It's a little expensive so 1500 UAH for a regular edition
    Changed:
    I have never supported the Russian Federation, if you think that I bought the game and everything became a zombie, then I'm sorry. I have always been and will be for Ukraine.
    Stop writing that I am from Ukraine and bought it and supported the purchase of missiles.
    You have already become with this topic for games or music, like those who say "8 years dammed the Donbass", you are the same, you have one stuck "There you bought a Russian. the game, you supported the murder or you're listening to Ross. "you're a traitor" is enough.
    Changed 2nd time
    You can continue to write out here that I rooster supported rashka and so on.
    I will not delete the review, I will not close the comments either.
    So you can further promote it to the top. ( although initially I didn't care about hype and so on. I just wrote a review of the game and that's it).

    Лучшее что выходило за последние лет 5. Прекрасный арт дизайн, музыкальное сопровождение и атмосфера вцелом. Анимации и графика на высшем уровне. Достойные боевка и сюжет. Имеются и мелкие косяки, но на них вообще не хочется обращать внимания т.к. игра (если смотреть на картину вцелом) прекрасна. Для первой игры от этих ребят (да и просто если отдельно от этого факта рассматривать) этоЛучшее что выходило за последние лет 5. Прекрасный арт дизайн, музыкальное сопровождение и атмосфера вцелом.

    The coolest thing about the game is the soundtrack and level design, the developers obviously did their best.

    The disadvantages include poorly written dialogues, of which there are too many. And also to a deliberately rude and stupid hero.

    Just wow! This game blew up so many miserable asses of players who tried to ban the game but failed in disgrace. The salt must flow!

    I understand that there are many flaws in the game, but the visual itself delighted me more than any game. The game deserves attention. I expected that the curse of Cyberpunk 2077 would befall the game, but I was very surprised at the optimization and the

I expected that the curse of Cyberpunk 2077 would befall the game, but I was very surprised at the optimization and the game without crashes. I was very impressed by this! A great start for the studio that released this game as the first. But unfortunately, some players see some propaganda. In COD MW we saw images of inhuman Russians But, in Atomic Heart there is no place for hating any nation. Think about it.

    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!

    Good-
    Satisfying combat; Inventive setting with incredible visuals; Solid story.
    Bad- Weak voice acting; Occasionally bad dialogue/writing; Too much talking that is easily cut off; NORA is too much. Thoughts- Keeping in mind that this is Mundfish’s first major game, it is easy to forgive the issues there are with Atomic Heart. The actual game (when you are allowed to play it), is

    Keeping in mind that this is Mundfish’s first major game, it is easy to forgive the issues there are with Atomic Heart. The actual game (when you are allowed to play it), is really very impressive, and it only falls slightly short of the promise of its hype. It’s not quite game of the year material, but I think Atomic Heart will hold its own in the gaming conversation for quite a while.

    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]

    Great level design, dangerous enemies, good gunplay and intriguing story come together to deliver an unforgettable game. [page 38]

    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.
