    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.

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

    Finally! A videogame that actually feels like a videogame. I'm so sick of all the modern day garbage that has infested the gaming landscape, and it feels soo refreshing to have a new unique, fun, and beautiful IP to play. Also who cares if it was developed buy a Russian team you millennial crybaby's! Go study to be a corrupt politician and stay the hell away from videogames.

    Crashes? I had none so far. I'm like 8 hours in or so. 10/10
    Epicness - 12/10, man, I wish they had VR version for this

    Main character - 5/10, obnoxious honestly, wish they changed most of his uncalled comebacks.

    Upgrades - 6/10, good, not really pushing for more experimentation. You find something that works and kinda don't feel like trying other options.

    Art style - 11/10. Loved retro futuristic USSR.

    Gameplay overall - 8/10, overall is good. I wish they made main character faster.

    Dialogues - 5/10, mostly between main character and glove, that part at least could use more refine.

    Combat - 8/10, more satisfying when you get more guns on your hands, melee could use more combos.

    Story - 7/10, basically red alert kinda asylum.

    English dub - 6/10, it's ok, but could use Russian accent to help immersion.

    Puzzles - from 6 to 8. has lame ones, has smart ones, mostly good.

    Music - 10/10, soviet remixes kick ass.

    AI Pathfinding - 5/10, it's fun to watch tho. Prolly will get fixed.

    Characters - 7/10, mostly good, but everyone could use more development honestly.

    Bosses - 8/10, almost all bosses worked for me.

    Crazyness - freaking asylum 10/10

    Thiccness - lawd have mercy 9/10

    Enemies art design in general - 10/10

    Worth your time? 8/10, speaking generally it will take you for a ride you didn't get in a while. It's not perfect, some parts could use more polish, other parts take the breath away.

    Uniqueness? 9/10, pretty unique for latest tendencies'

    Tech issues:
    Crashes? I had none.
    FOV - should be adjustable from start, coming in next patch.
    CCs size - scheduled for fixes. Very small font so can't really enjoy Russian dub + CCs for immersion at start.

    Ray Tracing - coming in next patch, removed at start. Good decisions leveled out or made ignore some lame or not polished parts. I give it solid 8/10.    … Expand

    Incredibly well optimized which is rarity nowadays. In my 20h of playing I didn't run into any bugs whatsoever (which is shocking to me).

    Gameplay is very challenging and addictive. Mele and range weapons feel great to use. Guns also sound very meaty. Also mixing weapons + glove + elemental damage that looks and feels incredible and makes combat always interesting and fresh. There's    Incredibly well optimized which is rarity nowadays.

    Gameplay is very challenging and addictive. Mele and range weapons feel great to use. Guns also sound very meaty. Also mixing weapons + glove + elemental damage that looks and feels incredible and makes combat always interesting and fresh. There's also a large variety of weapons in this game.

    There are also death screens that are incredibly well done and your death screen is different every time you are killed by different enemy. Animators really did outstanding job (same for upgrade animations)! I just love small details like that. You can really see that developers put effort into making this game amazing to play. Love how you leave marks of damage on enemy robots from melee and range weapons. Decapitation and high lvl of gore is also present in this game that was well done. There are also upgrades in this game that can heavily impact your gameplay once you fully upgrade certain thing. Boss fight are very challenging and satisfying, which I didn't expect in fps game to be honest.

    There is also good amount of puzzles in this game, at start they are simple, but gradually they do become more challenging and interesting. It feels very rewarding once you solve the more challenging ones.

    Game atmosphere is incredible and makes game a very immersive experience. Story will make you wonder and keep you interested from start to finish. Main character and glove voice acting on Russian is great and also adds to immersion. I did also played it on English, at first VA was weak, but it did grow on me. But I do understand people who do not like it, therefore I strongly suggest Russian dub.

    Honestly, for this developers first game ever, this is incredible. I'm blown away. I will keep a close eye on Mundfish studio and their future projects.

    I warmly recommend this game to everyone.

    Thank you for taking your time to read my review.
    I appreciate it and wish you all the best.

    El joc és bastant bo i entretingut, que use el concepte de USSR em fluixeja. Els jocs que s'inspiren en Bioshock com aquest ja m'impressionaran des del principi. Les parts sensuals són bastant gracioses d'escoltar, i a vegades una mica excessives, però no passa res, no canvia la diversió que produeix. A part, gràficament és bestial, el rendiment és increïble, és necessari jugar-lo.

    Хотел бы начать с минусов
    В игре очень непонятная карта, во время паркура персонаж ощущается как дерево, полу окрытый мир довольно скучен на исследования, когда сражаешься с роботами постоянно прилетаю другие роботы чтобы их чинить и помогает только прокаченный телекинез. Есть душные миссии по типу: Принеси 4 колбы найди части тела робота и вообще 1 треть игры довольно душновата.

    Ну а теперь перейдём к плюсам
    Игра очень красивая! Я сейчас не про графику а про наполнение мира разными вещами которые присуще ссср. Роботы почти все выглядят офигенно, ну и конечно Близняшки! За это надо игре сделать отдельный плюс (Да ребят мы живем в такое время когда красивые женьщины это роскошь).

    Оружие очень крутое, ближнего и дальнего боя, оружие очень хорошо ощущается и стреляется. Да его в игре не так много но его хватает. Прокачка тоже выполненна довольно справедливо- Если хочешь прокачать пушку(Сделать лучше урон и уменьшить отдачу то просто иди по сюжету и кайфуй) а если хочешь увеличь урон электрический дулом или поставить прицел с типловизором, то будь добр ходить на полигоны и лутаться(но спасибо что хоть подписали где какой модуль находится и не нужно его искать по всей карте).

    Сюжет по началу ничем особенным не выделяется есть П-3(мы) который служит главному ученому Сеченову. На предприятие случается сбой и все роботы сходят с ума и начинают убивать людей а нас отправляют с этим разобраться. Как я и сказал первая треть игры довольно скучна-не разнообразного оружия ни интересных заданий ни прокаченных способностей но чем дальше тем интересней а финал... Скажу так вы точно его не предугадаете и вы будете в полнейшем шоке.

    Вот такая игра получилась, да она далеко не идеальна, много моментов можно переделать, подтянуть немного оптимизацию хотя она довольно хорошая, если посмотреть на релизы других крупных студий за последние 2 года. Как мне кажется для первого проекта студии очень не плохо! Придя на этот сайт я думал поставить оценку 8 но увидя что большенство негативных оценок из-за политики и войны на Украине я поставлю 10 ведь мне становится жалко разработчиков. Ребят у них первый трейлер по игре вышел 5 лет назад разрабы не пропагандируют СССР и Россию попробуйте абстрагироваться от войны и перестать пытаться найти вещи на которые можно обидеться и просто поиграйте в игру!    … Expand

    I'd describe it as an dystopian soviet alternative future in the 50s that mocks the union and shed light on corruption and bribery after a few hours in.

    There are a ton of dialogue and notes spread around that many will glance over, missing a lot of context of where and why

    So far only had a few minor bugs, nothing compared go what other big AAA studios have launched past year. Had a hud element from a picked up object frozen on screen and flipped a car while driving.
    Combat in the beginning felt a bit clunky but got a lot better once the character got upgraded to be faster and got more moves.

    (Game is review-bombed as people from Reddit and Twitter who have not played it think it is glorifying ussr and russia, I can tell you it is not) Norwegian, I stand with Ukraine. Currently 16hrs in.

    For a Studios first game it is really impressive, even Ubisoft make more **** Games and they in the Game Business long enough to know what they are doing.

    So thank you Mundfish for this Game and everything you will do in the future i wish the best for you and i hope that everybody will play your Game or at least try it.

    If you have Gamepass just play and enjoy the Game and if not just buy it for 1 Dollar and play the Game

    Atomic Heart is a game I was excited to finally play, but went in with low expectations considering how long it was in the oven. The end result is easily one of the best games I have played this year and an experience I recommend everyone dig into. It won’t be for everyone, but for those that it is for it will be an amazing experience.
    Very good game!

    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

    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.
