    Looks like demo, not a real game: the world around is not interactive, the dialogues are cringe-worthy, and the idea is copied from bioshock.

    There is nothing on the box or in description that specifies that an internet connection is required. To bad for a single player.

    Disc install offline at 38GB. When going to the main menu you are unable to start new game without the download. Ok for those who want digital. I want physical copies.

    I like it. The World building is awesome, texture resolutionis not the best, but how they put everything together makes the game look beautiful. Gunplay and melee feel very good, and the crafting system is well put together. The pacing in the early game and the story/dialogue are lacking in some aspects.

    Игра ахрененная. Стилистика норм, боёвка топ, дизайн локаций прекрасный, сюжет тоже прикольный.

    у игры действительно хороший сеттинг, неплохие миксы на музыку. Сам же геймплей - тотальное говнище. механика боёвок скучна, а сами бои несбалансированы.

Также в игре случались краши раз +- в пол часа, а с такими редкими сейвами это критично. Сюжетная часть тоже оставляет желать лучшего. Главные герои абсолютно непривлекательны. Подача игр через дневники смотрелась терпимой в bioshock, но прошла куча времени и такой способ подачи сюжета смотрится ужасно. Игра напоминает связь bioshock и cyberpunk, но от обеих этих игр она не взяла действительно хороших элементов. Не рекомендую Expand

    Reading all the negative reviews one thought comes in mind - you definitely can try to teach a pig a couple of words in English, but all you get at the end is “oink-oink-oink”.

    Atomic Heart is an absolute letdown of a game that fails to deliver on almost every level. The game's concept and premise seemed promising, but the execution is so poor that it's hard to find anything redeeming about it.

    First of all, the game's technical issues are a major obstacle that makes it almost unplayable. From the constant frame rate drops to the never-ending loading screens, it's clear that the developers didn't put much effort into optimizing the game for modern hardware.

    Furthermore, the game's combat is a complete mess. The clunky controls and unresponsive mechanics make it frustrating to fight even the simplest of enemies. The game's AI is also terrible, making it easy to exploit their predictable behavior and making the game feel repetitive and dull.

    But perhaps the biggest disappointment of all is the game's story. The plot is convoluted and nonsensical, and the characters are uninteresting and forgettable. The game's attempts at humor fall flat, and the overall tone of the game is just confusing.

    Overall, Atomic Heart is a game that simply isn't worth your time or money. It's an unpolished mess that fails to deliver on every level, and there are far better games out there that are worth your attention.

    And yeah - this game is full of soviet/russian propaganda. Avoid at all cost.

    Atomic Heart jamas dijo ser BioShock, es un juego moderno y para personas de buen gusto, lastimosamente atrapado por el odio de un conflicto que no tiene que ver en nada con el juego, sin duda una joya y merecible pele por el GOTY 2023.

    After almost 6 hours the game leaves me with mixed feelings. If it weren't included in Game Pass I would advise against buying it at full price. I particularly criticize the following points:

    While it may seem like there are different enemy types, they all work the same in the end. They run towards you and try to knock you down. Your job is really just dodging and beating them. The few firearms are actually completely inferior to the ax and therefore useless. If the opponents grab you, you've actually lost, because the time for the quick time buttons is too short.

    The mission design repeats itself constantly. You always do the same stupid tasks to progress. Collect five special items and bring them to a specific location.

    The game does not know whether it wants to be a stealth game or a shooter. You have to constantly turn off cameras to avoid being discovered and overrun by hordes of enemies. If you turn off a camera (which is on every corner), a robot will immediately come and fix it. And since there are so many cameras, at some point you totally lose track. In the end you will be discovered and overrun.

    Conclusion: The world is really great, but the gameplay is unfortunately quite boring and sometimes frustratingly annoying.

Absolutely 10 from 10 for the atmosphere and storyline + plus details - all the things like soviet propaganda, story, and small pieces which will probably will be understandable only to native speakers, in this game look brilliant. The best science fiction in 2023 (IMO) so far. The story is based on the soviet wave where striving for the best life in utopia led to global collapse. People who like science fiction such as Strugatsky Brothers, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Rob Sheckley will appreciate the storyline.
    The gameplay consists of Bishock mechanics, however, you can dodge hard attacks which reminded me of Soulslike games (taking to account that the bosses are pretty hard in there).
    Music and sound are incredible - again it seems to target post soviet native speakers. Music dynamically changes according to the environment, as in Fallout - a lot of Radio playing songs from different soviet and post-Soviet eras.
    As it was shown in the trailers - damage is visible on the mobs when you are attacking them in melee. Weapons and spells felt good :) Almost all the things which were announced by Mundfish are in the game.

    Taking to account my low expectations Atomic heart took mine now. I Hope Mundfish will not stop and will continue to work on this alternative universe like Fallout Series.

    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.

    A breath of fresh air! Great game world, amazing atmosphere, lots of emotions and fun! The game does not care about "fashion trends" - here you will not be forced to love whom, to whom how to address and how to identify. You just break away from reality, as if you are reading a fantastically cool book!

    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.
