    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. There is just so much to this world and I had a blast exploring the world of Facility 3826. I am still digging into the side content and hope they continue to iron out its issues as time goes on. I cannot wait to see what is next from Mundfish, I just hope I don’t have to wait another decade to see it.

    Atomic Heart is an excellent game, and it’s an incredible debut title from Mundfish. Clever storytelling, massive set pieces, fun combat, and more make this one easy to recommend.

    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.

    Atomic Heart immediately draws you in with its enchantingly weird story of a retro-futuristic Soviet Union. However, an interesting and visually compelling vision is hampered by a meandering story and some truly awful combat encounters. What comes to mind is style over substance, yet there’s plenty of content to be found here, just none of it standing out as particularly well-polished. Still, the game has a fair share of interesting ideas and moments that make it worth experiencing despite its flaws.

    Controversy aside, Atomic Heart is a robust first-person affair, albeit one that revels in glorified Soviet iconography and Wolfenstein-esque alternate history weirdness. The difference is, there's no ambiguity in shooting Nazis – here, however, you can’t help but have a sense of unease while playing.

    There's a lot going on in Atomic Heart, so it's perhaps unsurprising that consistency and cohesion aren't the game's strong suits. It does, however, excel in spectacle, presenting a fascinating world and packing it with an assortment of incredible mechanical creations.

    Atomic Heart's story, gameplay, and world design have promise, but the payoff is lacking across the board.

    All this soviet ( btw ukraine was the part of ussr) stuff in the game nothing more than the irony cringy anti-utopia. We can remember Stalker and Metro with the same vibe also.
    I would say game has some flaws and problems , I hope devs will fix it.
    First of all there’s no rtx so far, UI is made for pc and on the console feels clunky and unintuitive sometimes , stealth is kinda broken and shooting mechanics are clunky like in the old 3d fps games from 00’s.core plot is nothing to talk about and main protagonist feels kinda stupid with boring voice acting, normal difficulty has spongy enemies so I’d recommend play on easy, also subs are too small and too much melee combat Pros :lore is good, robots are funny, music is freaking climax for your ears , art design is good, graphics is good , atmosphere is totally high ten, performance is ok on the series x, no game breaking bugs so far, Gamepass included .    … Expand

Mi ne è capitato uno dopo l'ultima patch che non mi fa piu andare avanti perché quando prendo un ascensore nella storia mi sprofonda sotto la mappa. Ho ricaricato il salvataggio più volte ma nnt. Già come gioco in se ha diversi limiti, poi se capitano pure questi bug è grave.


    Gioco noioso, open world inutile, stealt fatto malissimo, movimenti legnosi, menu di gioco stravecchi, storia banale come poche.
