    What a blast! I'm enjoying every moment playing this game. It stays fresh all the time with an array of enemies, weapons and skills. The combat is the most fun I've had in a while.

    Amazing game, a very interesting story and an awesome map/dungeon design. Besides some performance issues nothing to complain about this game! Go and get it. It’s on Game Pass anyway, you gonna have a lot of fun.

    El juego esta bien, abundantes builds, mecánicas, excelentes gráficos, pero la historia tiene 2 finales super malos, también presenta algunos bugs, como que a veces no guarda la partida o te quedas atorado.

    Only about 3 hours I'm but I'm really enjoying this. I've been bored of woke games lately but this one has me gripped. It's a good, fun sci-fi romp and I'm loving it. I haven't had a good story to get into in years.

    Great Sovjet atmosphere, well designed semi open world which doesn't overstay its welcome, good story...all in all a very creative and enjoyable game. Only downside is the sometimes clumsy controls leading to some frustration from time to time

    The bad:
    There are times when reflective metal surfaces forget that they are reflective but it seems more like a memory saving trick. There are times when the AI disengages and raises the difficulty just to know if you were paying attention. The script is stupid.

    In Futurama back in 1999 he already brought us insinuations and a string of jokes about Robotsoles, Robot-female, Robo-Sexualel, that this game borrows a lot from it. It's nice to see that this approach to the cold war makes you want to go looking for how things really happened... and it's not a propaganda pamphlet, it's just the vision that Hollywood has never told us    … Expand

    The best Bioshock-like game I've played since Bioshock infinite. The graphic is modern and impressive even without HDR and ray tracing. The testing ground is like the temple in ZOTW and it has a Metro&Fallout vibe. Great game from Russia. And the idea of this game is ANTI-WAR.

Les personnages humains mériteraient une meilleure modélisation et la synchro labiale est un peu aux fraises mais le taff est excellent.
    L'univers est très intéressant et l'ambiance Russe est assez atypique pour rendre le jeu vraiment unique. Beaucoup d'autodérision et de critique aussi bien de l'état Russe, du communisme, que du capitalisme, donc pas de jaloux, n'allez pas chercher de polémiques.
    Mention spéciale pour la bande sonore vraiment excellente du début à la fin.

    Ses défauts: des bugs de collision (si vous cherchez à escalader des montagnes, vous allez en baver et allez souvent être bloqué dans le décors), un open world assez simpliste et peu intéressant (sauf les sites de recherches très sympa où la réflexion prime sur l'action) et une redondance des situations.

    Quoiqu'il en soit, il dispose de suffisamment de qualités pour en faire un très bon FPS qui sort du lot, des boss bien sympa, une super ambiance, une bande son excellente, un scénario plus intelligent qu'on pourrait le croire, et un potentiel intéressant pour créer des suites plus travaillées. Une bonne surprise.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    This game is closer to an 8.5 than a 10 but I decided to give it a 10/10 to balance out the **** 0/10 reviews given by the angry mob.

Atomic    This game is closer to an 8.5 than a 10 but I decided to give it a 10/10 to balance out the **** 0/10 reviews given by the angry mob.

    As a reference I want to note that I've collected experience working as an author for several gaming websites, writing Guides and Reviews for video games for roughly 3 years. So I got to play quite a few bad to unplayable games over the years. Atomic Heart is absolutely far removed from being a 0/10 or anything below 5/10. I suggest ignoring these reviews as it has to be assumed that - as always - gamers overexaggarate massively on the one hand and on the other hand, many of the negative reviews make untrue claims about this game being somehow Soviet or Russian "propaganda". That claim is simply untrue and shows that these people didn't play the game, as the USSR is depicted as an evil faction, especially towards the end of the game. Now that we addressed that, let's get to the actual game.

    The game is overall a pretty solid although flawed first entry by a new, eastern European developer. As such it is simply a very impressive achievement that the game runs pretty good for the most part. Had 60 FPS most of the time on Xbox Series X and while there were some very annoying bugs, it's extremely polished when compared to buggy AAA-releases by established developers such as Ubisoft or CD Project Red.

    The Gameplay has some balancing issues. The game is unfortunately pretty bad at explaining gameplay-mechanics, which leads to a lot of confusion in the beginning hours. Furthermore, the combat becomes very trivial once you learned the combat mechanics and collected some of the more powerful abilities and guns. It would be nice if the developers could add another difficulty setting. Controls are fine, albeit a bit weird at first because the character moves rather slow when strafing. Luckily you have a Dash ability.

    The enemy variety is very solid and the robotic enemies in particular have some pretty amazing designs and animations. Very smooth indeed and very memorable. Their danger is unfortunately damaged by the unbalanced difficulty. However, it is fun at all times to fight the enemies. Shooting is solid - it's nowhere as good as for example Doom Eternal but it's solid overall. The melee works fine, although it doesn't have really any depth to it. It's most comparable to Dead Island or Dying Light 2, although lacking the block function.

    The graphics as well as the general art style are simply amazing. They absolutely nailed the looks. It does indeed look like a game that could have been very well developed within the USSR if it still existed.

    The story is overall pretty interesting with some cool twists and tons of worldbuilding and very cool lore. However, the storytelling itself kind of falls flat. Most of it is thrown at the player in sometimes very tedious dialogues between the main character and Charles. The cutscene quality varies from good to hilariously akward. I assume that has mostly to do with the developers inexperience.

    The "open-world" is more like a hub that you transition to get to the various Polygons (dungeons) and main mission sites, which mostly take place within some kind of facilities. That's unfortunate but personally I don't mind that the "open-world" is "empty" - I think the market is oversaturated with time-consuming 200 hour Open-world experiences, that are just as empty but throw dozens of collectibles and generic side-quests with badly written characters at the player just to simulate being "filled" (The recent Assassin's Creed titles are a good example for that). If you expect a linear shooter with some optional dungeons then Atomic Heart has you covered.

    The dialogue is often cited as being bad. The dialogue is pretty bad in English. It works rather okay in the Russian dub, although I'd say it still leaves room for improvement.

    Final verdict: Overall Atomic Heart is a solid shooter that has some design flaws that you will have to forgive the game if you want to enjoy it. I can't recommend it to everyone - similarly to Metro or the STALKER games you simply have to go with some of the jankier aspects to really enjoy the game. I think Atomic Heart is an amazing achievement when considering the situation Mundfish found itself in during development. And while the game is surely far from perfect, I'd still consider it a solid game overall and one worth trying out - it's one of the most unique games I got to play in recent years. And most importantly: It lays a great foundation for sequel titles. Atomic Heart needs a sequel - the ingredients for an actual 9.5/10 to 10/10 game are there - here's hope that Atomic Hear 2 - should it come - will be what Mass Effect 2 was to Mass Effect 1.    … Expand

    En cuanto a la jugabilidad es super entretenida y muy ágil y bueno tienes bastantes poderes podemos decir aunque solo puedes usar dos mientras luchas digamos. No le encuentro mucha pega , diría que es de esos juegos que jugar a 120hz tiene que ser una pasada .

    Gráficamente el juego luce muy bien no puedo poner ninguna pega la primera persona le sienta genial y la inteligencia Artificial me parece muy destacable no creo que hayan muchas IA mas inteligentes , te detectan desde bastante lejos.

    Como aspectos negativos diría :
    - Que el mundo abierto esta poco aprovechado muy poco , pero se lo puedes justificar por todo lo demás .
    - En el mundo abierto no puede ser que tengas casi 30 robots persiguiéndote y que haya robots que reparen a otros robots y teniendo que volver a luchar con ellos . La idea no esta mal pero creo que tendrían que haber limitado eso .

    Atomic Heart offers great graphics and enjoyable combat. While the weapon variety is moderate and the story predictable with some cheesy dialogue, the game excels in providing enjoyable character upgrades. Though it may not fully live up to the initial hype, it remains a decent choice for players craving an immersive dystopian game with an incredible soundtrack.

    Overall, Atomic Heart is an enjoyable FPS title that sadly misses out on being great. From issues that were stated above, Atomic Heart had the potential to be up there with games such as Bioshock, but in the end came up short. While the plot does offer some amazing moments that seem to raise more questions than they answer, Atomic Heart fails to deliver any meaningful reason to go explore and in that reality, shortens the gametime to about 15 hours(ish). Despite all that, did I have fun playing the game? Without question yes. Atomic Heart may not be perfect but it does deliver an enjoyable FPS experience with a plot that will take you on a rollercoaster ride.
