    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.

    This is the first game to actually impress me with its visuals this new generation. The gameplay and progression is top tier. 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

O gráfico não é surpreendente mas é bonito, a ambientação também é muito boa. Em 10 horas de jogos notei quedas de FPS, em alguns casos chegando a travar em 0, mas não são tão recorrentes. O jogo crashou 2 vezes e isso me impediu de seguir na fase, indico sempre fazer o salvamento manual quando possível.… 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    Optimization is good.
