    Ein Haufen gestohlener Ideen aus verschiedenen Spielen, aber mit Wodka Balayka und Matryoshka.

    The game itself is a terrible experience. The gameplay is dull, uninspired, and overly violent. The graphics are poor and do nothing to make up for the game's lack of substance. The narrative is nothing more than a propaganda tool that promotes negative values.

    Very beautful game , good fight but nothing special , cool power and you can reset them freely , cool weapons upgrade , inspiration from bioshock for weapon in right hand and power in the left but the protagonist is **** horrible, the dodge mechanic is meh and the sexualiation of the robots is very cringe.
    In 18 hours of game i have at least 10 bug.

    I have never seen a game so much with so much useless **** for increasing the lifespan of the game its awful ! Lock everywhere, non stop backtracking , usrless dialog unskipable
    Platforming is very vad.
    I love to see comments like " they are russian dont buy the game " or " the protagonist is a good guy kgb agent this is make for putin " lol , so lame.
    I dont care where a game came from if its good play it and if its bad dont play it.
    This game is not a absolute master piece nor a **** game its just very average.
    0/10 is stupid and 10/10 is stupid too.
    Its free with the game pass try it by yourself.    … Expand

    Nothing special. Like many others are saying the combat feels very bland, the open world isn't really open, there's only like 6 enemy types in the whole game and it's very short for a full priced game.

    Cheap and boring Bioshock rip-off that tries to hide the lack of creativity behind sexploitation. Zero original ideas, silly plot, weird setting.

    The game has profanity in large numbers, which I consider unacceptable. There is no culture in games, movies, etc. Degradation of culture, it's disgusting.

    Very bad optimization. A lot of bugs, issues with collisions. Also, the game contains a lot of Russian and anti-Ukrainian propaganda, including photos of Donetsk, propagating communism, and ideas of one country. The main characters are KGB major, who is a good man, and this fact is related to Putin. Shame to Microsoft that they paid for this bad game to be presented in Game Pass.

    Beautiful game, but it's undercooked af. I found the gunplay to be really un-fun even after getting all the powers and trying out upgrades. Try it on gamepass first, I think you'll be glad you did.

    Такое ощущение что просто деньги выкинул.
    Отвратительный сюжет, неуважение к моим взглядами, пропаганда совка, скучная прокачка ы неймоверно тупая боевка.
    Это не стоит своих денег.

    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.

    Ничего креативного . Дизайн персонажей скучный . Сама игра это калька Биошока и Фолаута . + Восхваление советского союза и комунизма . Сюжет ни о чем , ровно как и геймплей

    Rare crap. You can browse through the entire PlayStation store of cheap triple-C stuff and you won't find anything as **** as this one. Absolute waste of money and time, better get that Hogwarts Legacy instead

    Terrible game with one of the worst endings I've played in the last decade.... walking puzzle simulator (puzzle every other door) with occasional combat that can be fun but is ruined by infinite spawning enemies outdoors, most of which are bullet sponges.

    The game had promise with a interesting plot and visually appealing aesthetic but is unfortunately let down by horrendous VO/ writing, unwieldy melee combat and poor gameplay. In the end it just feels like a bad bioshock knock off that was written by a 12 year old. I ended up uninstalling after about 4-5hrs of gameplay. Disappointing.

    I’m sure Mundfish tried to do something better than it is now. There are so many raw and unelaborated mechanics, fights are boring, the plot is not well-developed, the universe is potentially very interesting but in fact is empty and faded. Characters aren’t growing during the game and the protagonist is annoying. Atomic heart turn out to be unfinished long-term construction, a bunch of scattered ideas not brought to a decent level.

    Gameplay 2/10
    – The game is very easy and casual, increasing the difficulty level doesn’t make the game harder, more interesting: it’s just increasing the number of hits till enemy death. Enemy behavior and attacks are predictable and stupid so the game is not hard on any difficulty level. The compass and points on the screen always tell you where to go, which door to open, who to kill. All the loot highlights 10 meters around you. You don’t have to research anything, even think about what is going on.
    – Door and robot hacking is boring – random rounding of wires and fast button pushing. It is not as fascinating as mini-games in Fallout.
    – Loot system is meaningless – you are just vacuuming some sort of obscure rubbish on the shelves. You even can’t understand what actually you are vacuuming.
    – One of the most boring fighting systems in my life. Ordinary nps, bosses: they all are very predictable, have 2-3 movements and 1 attack type. It’s really absolutely annoying.
    – Dismemberment is useful during a gameplay point of view. You can't cut off your enemy leg/hand during the battle. But when the enemy is dead you can hit him and cut off an extremity. What’s the point of this sort of dismemberment?

    Concept and plot 5/10
    + Soviet entourage, agitation and references like magazine Crocodile are nice, especially together with cyber-theme: soviet-punk. Futuristic design looks unique and well-worked. You will listen to a collection of early and late soviet music and meet famous actors, scientists and politicians of the USSR. So it looks like a really curious point of view on alternate soviet history.
    = Main plot thread is quite interesting but it looks unfinished and raw. Characters are not developing during the game, you can't find their traits, motivation, arcs etc. Plot develops fragmentary and slow because there are a lot of fillers inside.
    – Main character – is an absolutely inadequate rude **** unfunny swearing every minute and humiliating everyone around.

    Visualization 4/10
    = Graphics are not bad, at least in part with gross, trees, water and robots. But shadows and people's faces are ugly.
    – There are only 2-3 faces for all the NPC and the same amount of hairstyles and colors. So that’s why people look like robots too.
    – Except for sexy twins, robots are absolutely boring and expressionless benches of metal.

    Sound 8/10
    + There is a lot of cool soviet music both original and well-remixed. This music well complements the atmosphere in the game. And also there is some classic music which is good too.
    + The dev team is using music as a good tool to highlight important and nervous game moments.
    = Main characters are voiced by professional actors and it sounds really amazing. But all other voices like opening doors, hits and jumping are stingy.    … Expand

    Atomic heart is a top tier AA game that was promoted non stop for years as the AAA game we've all been waiting for. It's a decent game that can be fun at times and can hold you over until the next game your waiting for to release.

This mechanic never stops and makes killing anything absolutely pointless and exploring extremely annoying. Real head scratcher… Expand

    Optimization is good.
    But the amount of USSR/Russia propaganda is just insane. Easter eggs about Ukraine is a terrifying joke, I hope studio will figure out how this content end up in game.

    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.

    Atomic Heart surprised me, this is a solid game. And it is very frustrating to see her flaws. I hope that in the sequel, Mundfish will not try to grasp the immensity and focus on what's important.

    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.
