    All style and no substance. Atomic Heart’s world looks the part but is undermined by poor mechanics and some of the worst writing in gaming history. [Issue#26, p.84]

    Despite what is a promising combat formula as well as the supporting systems behind it when it comes to skills, crafting, and upgrades, there are also several equally frustrating aspects of it that hold the game back. The hope is that Mundfish is able to fix some of the more glaring issues post-launch, but right now, it feels less like a welcomed revolution and more like a nuclear disaster.

    Outside of its interesting aesthetic, everything else about Atomic Heart feels very generic. While I may still find some redeeming features, as things stand, it's one of the biggest disappointments in recent memory.

    After 18h what I can say, this game is just a pure madness. Gameplay and atmosphere are absolutely phenomenal. Very good story and fantasticsAfter 18h what I can say, this game is just a pure madness. Gameplay and atmosphere are absolutely phenomenal. Very good story and fantastics dialogs. Devs did an awesome job and every single moment playing AH it is easy to see they put their hearts into it. Playing with Russian dubbing makes this game so immersive. If you like Bioshock, Prey or Wolfenstein you will definitely love Atomic Heart. This is a perfect mix of those. One of the best game over the years without a doubt.
    Well done Mundfish!!    … Full Review »

    We would at least play a game.
    And then they wrote comments.

    There have been no such games for a long time and it will no longer be seen with such an attitude.
    Enjoy while there's a chance.

    How much can you play fortnate, donat garbage dumps like assassins and other empty open worlds.

    In this game, every millimeter of the design carries manual labor.
    And they would have been less toxic and written not on the topic, but evaluated the interest of the game itself.

    They compare it with BioShock, but this game is better and better and more technologically advanced, so to speak, the best version of BioShock, plus a different style and presentation.

    The introduction is ingenious in its detail and design.
    That's who the real game designers are, Ubisoft would be worth learning with their "copies of the world", not extolling anything new, although offering more volume.

    You should try this game to appreciate its full depth of design and gameplay.
    But the feelings are very positive, really, something interesting in the world of modern, mediocre games.

    Lots of interesting design ideas and mechanics.
    Very diverse decorations and interiors.
    There is a real feeling that the player is in the game, and not a bystander.

    There is not even HP over the heads of enemies, which can already be considered very risky and unusual in modern game development.

    We can say that the best game of recent years in the classic style of shooters, but higher in quality, from the creators of the old school of games and shooters.

    The most important thing is that unlike modern games, the game has excellent dialogues, without a lot of water.

    I don't know what else to say, the best games of recent years, in the spirit of BioShock, Half-Life 2 and other classic shooters.
    Yes, there is not enough physics in the game, this is not the Half-Life 2 level, but the levels themselves are excellent, the design, dialogues, narration, that's all from classic shooters, but with modern detail and graphics.
    And not from games in the spirit of Ubisoft games with unnecessary empty open worlds that are just filled with meaningless activities.    … Full Review »
