    Not only does the game have good bosses, but it also includes one hand difficulty level

    I’ve played it for around 6 hours on PS5. There was one glitch but after that it is a smooth experience. I’m glad that mundfish finally released the game as it emerges into anti-utopian atmosphere providing a fresh view on USSR and robots possible future. Main character is bit strange but in a way a funny dummy-soldier. The whole game feels like an entertainment show. For me I don’t feelI’ve played it for around 6 hours on PS5.

    This game does not deserve the low grades it is getting, at least 85, and probably all the press gives it this rubbish grade for being a Russian game, too bad for a game with so many years of development and so much love in it, regrettable

    В этой игре нет ничего советского. Это какая-то похабщина. Главный герой матерится как сапожник и руинит советскую атмосферу. А еще много дешевого фансервиса. В общем игра не оправдала ожиданий.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Awesome game. Two things which impressed me most are great optimization and absolutely fantastic atmosphere. I do agree that game has some questionable gameplay features but as this is the first project of the Mundfish I can close my eyes on them. Fantastic work Mundfish !

    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!

    Игру делали пять лет и внём даже окна ломать нельзя. В игре много багов, роботы проходят через стены, вещи проходят через моделки которые имеют коллизию, в месте где ты логически не можешь застрять ты застрываеш. Это были минусы этой игр, щас передём к плюсам. Окружающий мир он просто 4хуенны, кат сцены тоже хорошо сделаны как и персонажи, сюжет тоже хороший.Игру делали пять лет и внём даже окна ломать нельзя.

    What an amazing game! The amazing atmosphere of the Soviet Union, where people lived in kindness, joy and loved each other, it reminds me so much of my childhood - cartoons - "Well, wait" on all TVs in the game, great music by brilliant Russian composers and popular singers of that time, just like Alla Pugacheva.

    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”.

    Хорошая игра, особенно понравилось глумление над совком, игра точно показывает всю гниль этого недогосударства, сюжет и диалоги конечно посредственные, но графика, геймплей и воссоздание совка, очень хорошое

    While I did have some fun with Atomic Heart, I don’t think anybody should buy it for 70$. I think the best way to describe this game is « underwhelming »

    As a retrofuturism fan I really wanted to enjoy it, but apart from the style its just meh. Either wait for a discount or get it on GamePass, its not worth the full price.

    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:

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.    … Expand

    It’s not that great, good for their first title as a company. Flaws become apparent and gameplay gets repetitive really quick. **** knock off of bioshock. Save your money and wait till it’s on sale or get game pass.

Not to mention the all too familliar abnoxious talking piece of handwear. The combat becomes boring after the second fight, there is no depth to it, no fluidity, enemies function as bullet sponges and have all the intelligence of one. And at least there could've been the beautiful and unique world, but it is impossible to enjoy due to game constantly throwing enemies at you, which causes frequent freezes and fps drops when you try to explore. The only redeeming quality about this game is Mick Gordon's soundtrack, which is why I cant give it a 0.… Expand

    Game itself is poor copy of Bioshock, but it is half of a problem. Another half is way worse. Now russian learned how to turn their propaganda into video games, this game is filled with anti-ukranian symbolism, and pro-russian propaganda, they even have can of pork mins colored in Ukraine flag colors. This is just horrible.

    Been overwhelmed and had a lot of expectations for AAA but it is not an AAA title at all. Kinda fun to spend few hours in soviet Utopia hence the gameplay is repeatative and mediocre. Kudos for 2-hour refund policy, thanks Steam!

    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.
