![]() It’s made even better when you’re upgrading weapons with new attachments, enhancements, and even simple things like adding more ammo capacity. You’ve got AK-47s and PM pistols, and then there’s electricity guns and rocket launchers. My favorite part of Atomic Heart is the combat, specifically the shooting, because the variety of Russian weaponry both realistic and fictional are just a joy to use. ![]() It took me four hours just to leave the first area of the game and enter the open-world, and while I long for lengthy first-person shooters, and they can be great, this game doesn’t justify its length. It’s an absolute momentum killer, and the game does it to you constantly, seemingly to pad out its length. There are games that do this way, so that it doesn’t feel like a chore, but that’s not the case here. There’s obstacle after obstacle after obstacle, where everything is drawn out and you have to follow too many steps to complete a simple objective. The main quests suffer from them being nothing more than fetch quests, even long after the opening hours. This also has elements of action RPGs as well, with dialogue choices and optional quests to follow. Too many games make you interact with each and every element in order to pick everything up. ![]() You can hold ‘F’ to hoover up all the loot, which is a great quality of life feature for a game like this. Clearly there’s some translation gone awry as all the English text and voice work is wholly bizarre, with P-3 often exclaiming “Crispy critters!” – which seems to not only be an odd saying, but also just completely inappropriate in every way it gets said.Īfter things have gone to hell, you’ll quickly realize that this game is a bit of a looter shooter. P-3 is an absolute brain dead protagonist, which isn’t helped by his amnesia he sustained prior to the events, though he’s oblivious to what is so clear to everyone else – even your AI glove. As you explore the city on your way to the first objective, these first generation robots have an off-putting look to them, with their sterile faces with no moving mouths, and wide open eyes that stare into your soul. It’s here you get to be part of the fall of a civilization, something akin to Half-Life while not being the direct cause. You play as Major Sergey Nechayev, or “P-3” as he is called through most of the game. The Russians have been working hard to advance technology for the whole world, and have come with not only the first iteration of robotic life, but are on the cusp of releasing the second version with Kollective 2.0, a hive mind of robotic advancement. However, Mundfish’s first game fails to be more than a mish-mash of ideas that never truly solidifies into anything of substance.Ītomic Heart takes place in an alternate history 1955, located in the USSR. Atomic Heart is not quite the “Russian BioShock ” it seemed it would be, and for the most part that’s a good thing, as they aren’t doing something so familiar. Developer Mundfish certainly put a lot of heart and soul into this, as it seems to represent parts of their favorite games. Atomic Heart is a single-player first-person shooter that’s devoid of a battle pass and monetization, aside from some cosmetic DLCs you can purchase.
