I prefer feeling the bad ass vibes i get from the protagonist, makes me feel overpowered. The graphics are photorealistic and rendered in 4k 60fps with crisp contrasty visuals and runs like a dream on ps5 ! I hadn't had any issues. Pc gamers are happy as well judging by their comments.
    This new studio has set a new bar for other developpers to aspire to when optimizing their games.

    The combat is aggressive and energizing. And the music omg it makes your blood boil like lava ! I swear i only bought this because i found out that mick composed the music and he delivered his one of a kind heart thumping, enraging metallic hellish chords ! They seriously didn't market his music deservingly ! This is a major selling point for this game ! On the other hand i was shocked by the amount of locks you had to pick to progress the story ! I swear i counted over a hundred locks. Whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired ! It keeps ruining the pace of the story and destroys immersion. The puzzles also were mostly annoying. Thats why i deducted 2 points of this game. In conclusion, the game deserves your time and you should check it out    … Expand

    I didn't expect much, but it surprised me, The game delivers what it promises, there are mechanics that frustrate at first but as the game progresses, it gets more fun. Very good game, however I expected more, however, I still had fun.

    Extraordinario juego inspirado en BioShok. Primero el gameplay me parece bueno, suficientes armas, buenas habilidades, buen crafteo, al principio llegue a sentirlo algo lento, pero con el tiempo se va haciendo cada vez más frenético.

El contenido es bueno hay mucho por hacer, con varios puzzles de buena calidad, donde la exploración te recompensa sobre todo es necesario en la dificultad más alta. La historia es muy buena, todo el lore que vas encontrando es interesante, sin abrumarte con mil textos como otros juegos y el desarrollo y la narrativa me parecen destacados. El único problema y por el cual le pongo un 8 en lugar de un 9, es que en los primeros días me encontré con varios bugs, en otras ocaciones me atoraba en alguna superficie y tenía que reiniciar y al tener puntos de guardados específicos, era a veces molesto pero nada que rompiera el juego y arruinara mi experiencia. Lo recomiendo por supuesto, excepto para los completistas, algunos trofeos están bugueados.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved This game it’s a mix of first person shooter action, puzzles RPG elements that worked for me with a 10/10 art design and an interesting story with various endings. But it does have its flaws the open world is very frustrating to traverse as there is no breathing time robots are always chasing you, stealth is near to not existing, yes you can perform a silent takedown but that’s the only stealth aspect , crouching makes you walk to slow and there is no detection sistem. My ending felt a bit blank as the gloves betrayal feels to out of nowhere but that’s the only complaints I have I think that this game being this studios first project is very impressive and I’m very exited to se what focus entertainment has in store for us in the future… Expand

    В целом отлично. Но слишком однообразный геймплей и по сути 5 вариантов противников, кроме боссов. Ждал очень, чтобы по-скорее закончить игру.

    Честно говоря игра оказалась не совсем тем, что я от неё ожидал. Наверное я ждал Bioshock в клюквенно-совковом антураже, а получил подобие Syndicate 2012 года.
    Начну с того, что игра не плохо выглядит на PS5. Атмосфера, особенно в помещениях, достаточно сильна. Боёвка не идеальная, но не плохая. Сюжет то же порадовал. Да, в игре неплохие боссы!
    Вот пожалуй все моменты которые порадовали.    Честно говоря игра оказалась не совсем тем, что я от неё ожидал. Наверное я ждал Bioshock в клюквенно-совковом антураже, а получил подобие Syndicate 2012 года.
    Начну с того, что игра не плохо выглядит на PS5. Атмосфера, особенно в помещениях, достаточно сильна. Боёвка не идеальная, но не плохая. Сюжет то же порадовал. Да, в игре неплохие боссы!
    Вот пожалуй все моменты которые порадовали. Теперь о не очень приятном.
    Игра просто кишит какими то детскими, невероятно неприятными ошибками и недоработками.
    Начну с меню и тут меня просто удивило отсутствие какого либо описания назначения кнопок. Авторы иногда даже не поясняют с помощью каких кнопок что-либо включается и назначается. Так например с установкой неких "кассет", электрических, огненных и т. д. Нигде не описано как вообще их ставить. Интернет в помощь. К тому же после последнего патча эта функция вообще перестала работать на PS5.
    Работа супер курков на dualsense тоже сделана через пень колоду, они то работают то нет.
    Передвигается герой как паралитик. Двигаясь вперед он всё время бежит, но стоит направить его в сторону или назад наш майор переходит на какой то черепаший шаг, что часто ставило меня в ступор.
    В игре есть несколько видов замков и если с электронными всё более менее понятно, то вот алгоритма взлома механических я так и не понял. Всё зависит от банальной случайности и удачи.
    Управление в меню прокачки оружия просто ужасно, можно перемещаться и выделять любое оружие, откроется лишь то, на котором сейчас находится кружочек-курсор. Крайне раздражает.
    Весь геймплей делится на две части, это улица и помещения. И если в помещениях всё более менее работает, то улица это тупое дрочево. Роботы прут бесконечной волной, их можно уничтожать, но маленькие роботы-пчелы их бесконечно восстанавливают, и эти пчелы тоже бесконечны. Стелс практически не работает, так что всё, что требуется от игрока добежать до ближайшей машины и переть до следующего бункера без остановки. Бесило ужасно.
    Ещё в игре самая бестолковая карта, работает только на улице, на ней нет ни заданий, ни активностей, названия не читаемы на PS5.
    Да игра полностью озвучена, но все герои, кроме Сеченова, говорят голосами 15 летних подростков, что просто не соответствует тому, что видишь на экране.
    Оружие прокачивается тоже странно, всё оружие покупается с помощью некоего металлолома, он же используется и для прокачки оружия, и для изготовления боеприпасов, которых до середины игры сильно не хватает. Поэтому почти всю игру прошел с оружием полученным в самом начале и бесплатно.
    Ещё сюжет начинает закручиваться уже к самому финалу игры. А жаль.
    Даже не знаю кому посоветовать Atomic Heart, тем более за ту цену которую за игру просят сейчас. Может лучше подождать когда она выйдет в PS Plus?    … Expand

    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.

    I really wanted to love this game just because of the great setting, great visuals and overall just super creative and cool world but sadly this game has too much gameplay problems!

    Pros:
    - Great visuals
    - Great setting and really interesting style
    - Cool story and charackters
    - Many different combat abilitys with guns, glove abilitys and so on

    Cons:
    - It´s nearly impossible to explore the open world of this game, at least shortly to the final of the game because then you are well equipped. The open world is overspamed with enemies which are super bullet proof and take your whole **** magazine till they die. And even if they die, multiple repair robots come 2 minuts later and repair ALL of them! It just doesnt make any sense to kill the robots but otherwise you cant explore and have to run away from them because they´re to strong and kill you quickly! Poor gameplay error!

    - As mentioned before, the enemies take waaaaayyy too many bullets to take them down!!! I had too many situations especially in boss fights where I had enough life/energy to take them down but no bullets or anything which makes damage anymore just because I shot my whole arsenal on them and the have 30-40% of there energy remaining! You then have to reload the game at the last equipment store, put your whole backpack full of munition and try again, really really boring and repetitive!

    Without those two negative points the game would have had the potential to be one of the best games in 2023 but sadly it lacks some gameplay.

    Overall the game is ok, just because of the really innovative and creative setting and visuals. The gameplay itself is also not bad at all.    … Expand

    I’m mixed on Atomic Heart. The atmosphere and soundtrack are amazing. The gameplay is fun. The story is interesting. Yet the main character is unlikable and his dialogue atrocious. The controls can be janky. Then when you add the glitches and bugs, it’s hard to recommend.

    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

    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.
