    Not a good game, very bland and boring. The graphics aren't well designed either.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Не ожидал ничего хорошего от этой игры. В связи с популярностью проекта, решил проверить что-же такое Атомное Сердце. Техническая составляющая игры порадовала, неплохая оптимизация, вместе с отличным дизайном. Единственной проблемой стал нестабильный движок игры, довольно частые вылеты во время игры. Насчёт сюжетной составляющей, можно сказать, что сценаристы неплохо для этого постарались. Неоднозначная история Сергея Нечаева где, то одни, то другие манипулируют им. Харитон Захаров, который представился Хранителем Знаний, хорошо сдружившийся с Майором Нечаевым, оказался главным антогонистом игры. Баба Зина, которая, казалось бы, должна быть самым надёжным человеком, так же манипулирует Нечаевым, чтобы тот убил Сеченова. В то же время Сеченов, со слов всех других персонажей истинное зло, оказался не самым плохим персонажем. Бесспорно есть у Сеченова свои грешки, в виде экспериментов над людьми на станции Нептун, хотя они и были добровольцами. Тем не менее, оказался самым положительным персонажем из тех с кем главный герой взаимодействует по ходу сюжета. Чудесный запутанный сюжет, но многие недосказанности, всё же оказывают влияние. Я знаю, в игре не самый лучший юмор, но несмотря на это есть в нём что-то своё, фраза: "ёбаные пироги" ещё на долго запомнится мне. Жду второй части. 9/10 за вылеты и недосказанности .… Expand

    This game has nothing of its own, everything is stolen from other games. Bad game optimization, bad combat mechanics, stupid story, a lot of bugs, a lot of profanity, USSR propaganda. Don't waste your time and money on this parody of the game.

The game starts with a Half Life style rail scene, moves into a Resident evil Style Survival Horror Underground section and emerges into a open world Far Cry style map..It honestly one of the most impressive FPS game I've played in years..
    Not only is the game stunningly gorgeous but it runs very smooth. There a grear progression tree , heaps of cool weopens and a great crafting system that makes you want to collect items. Combat is insane and fun requiring skill as well as reflexes and the story is one of the best stories I seen in a game since Nier Automata..Really impressive title.    … Expand

    Creativo, interesante y divertido, el mundo de juego tiene un diseño artistico glorioso y lo mejor de todo es que el gameplay es super satisfactorio combinar las armas de fuego con los poderes estilo Bioshock completa una experiencia que no parece hecha por un equipo "indie".

    I found myself struggling to move my character and shoot, which made gameplay frustrating and unenjoyable. The animations were poor, compressed textures and unimpressive visuals. Only some CG scenes was ok, but not in real gameplay. Also many bugs from the start.
    I noticed issues such as characters getting stuck in the environment, checkpoints not triggering correctly and I can't pass, crashes that forced me to restart the game. I haven't finished it yet but I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and engaging gaming experience. Amazing ad but not the game. Maybe save your money and look for a better game to play.    … Expand

    A great game with a wonderful atmosphere and a moderately uprooted plot.

Unfortunately, most Western colleagues will consider this propaganda of the USSR (or Putin's Russia), while they themselves are grown up (like some Russians) on anti-Soviet, anti-communist and anti-Russian propaganda. And they will not allow themselves to believe in happiness of USSR citizens in their own world with their aspirations and ideals. Mundfish is a special thanks for not being shy about their history and homeland and trying to show its on the bad side and also in spite of the global agenda show the good side
    I hope this will inspire other Russian developers as well    … Expand

    Very well styled game. The art, music are above expectations.

    Gameplay is with nice story and sometime hard-core but it only makes this game more interesting. Jokes are original and quite funny. There is not much new content around which can joke without looking around and afraid to be banned by hatters with diviation. I found few small bugs on release however game is absolutely payable.

    Simply no. Clunky and awkward combat with absurd to impossible movements that will get you dizzy, strange "few savepoints" rule when killing just one enemy is a weird challenge getting you dizzy. Even on "low difficulty" also the quality of the graphics and its optimization was not the best, to say.

    Bad optimization, thoughtless mixing of thoughts and mechanics. Very low quality gameplay and the whole game as a whole. The script was written by a Russian for Russians, the dialogue is cheap and doesn't live up to the high price of the game. I wasted my money

    This game was made for Bioshock fans and I'm a Bioshock fan so I was waiting a game like this since 2013. Great world building, great story, great animations. It's a real AAA game way above manny gamestudios and it's very impressive how a novice developer made this. Obviously this game is not perfect, not even close but you definitely should play this game.

    This game is insane. The artwork and attention to detail are astounding. There are not usually so many detailed animations with interactive pieces in a first person shooter. The lighting is gorgeous, especially outdoors. Reflections looks great. It’s definitely not just a Bioshock skin, and even if it was it would still be cool- Bioshock is excellent. Taking all the best from several

    of the best shooters is always a great idea, and I want to see more games like these. So far, my only complaints are that you can’t view a controls map, and the English voice acting of the protagonist could be better. The gameplay is solid, looks great and feels great. The way you pull items from filing cabinets and drawers magnetically is really cool, sort of reminding me of Control. Great job and thank you!

    Update: hours in and I love this even more. The way they added so much cool variety to the lock picking is so cool and refreshing. So much better than the same old thing over and over in all games with lock picking. Enemies fly out and start to try and repair a turret you just took out, and it makes it more fun and interesting. I’m blown away by all the hate in reviews. They obviously worked so, so hard on this. It’s the best game I’ve played to date on my PS5, definitely best of 2023 so far.    … Expand

    I got Atomic heart in 4 days. It was 4 days during which I had time to neigh and pose, and, in principle, experience a mountain of emotions. Remixes of Soviet classics played during the fight and from the radio in the car had me hum tunes for several days.

    Very anticipated game for me and luckily a very pleasant result! Haven't spent much time in-game yet but have very warm feelings from it. I highly recommend if you like Prey, Deus Ex, Cyberpunk 2077, Dishonored, etc. Ones who skip the game because of sjw or political issues are crazy because the game industry is in a heavy crisis and you can't skip this diamond!

    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 being both fussy and clumsy throughout parts of the barely 15 hours the game lasts, Atomic Heart has just enough character and cool sequences to make this a game that might be well worth a closer look.

    Atomic Heart is full of stuff that will absolutely make you love it immediately, but each one of those things comes with a major flaw that ultimately pulls it back from being a great game. It's far from perfect, but will still give you hours of awesome story, world, gameplay and music.
