Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) – “A visual feast served on a plate of chores.” Atomic Heart is a rare breed of game: it is simultaneously one of the most imaginative shooters in recent years and one of the most deeply irritating experiences to actually play. It feels like a high-budget Soviet fever dream that was built by geniuses but balanced by people who hate your free time. The Good: A World Like No Other Visually, the game is a 10/10. The "Soviet-futurism" aesthetic is breathtaking, blending 1950s utopia with terrifyingly sleek robotics. From the haunting ballerina twins to the booming industrial soundtrack by Mick Gordon, the atmosphere is thick, polished, and genuinely unique. When you are moving through the linear, underground story sections, the game feels like a worthy successor to BioShock. The Bad: The "Repair Drone" Nightmare The moment you step into the open world, the game’s "chore" factor skyrockets. The core mechanic—infinite repair drones—is a disastrous design choice for anyone who enjoys the "clearing out an area" satisfaction of traditional shooters. The "Whack-a-Mole" Loop: You kill a robot, only for a drone to fix it 30 seconds later. Inconsistent Stealth: The game demands stealth but gives you clunky tools to execute it, leading to "Alert Level" spirals that drain your ammo and patience. Artificial Difficulty: Instead of smarter enemies, the game just makes them "bullet sponges" as you progress, turning combat into a resource-draining slog rather than a skill-based challenge. The Ugly: The Identity Crisis Atomic Heart doesn't know what it wants to be. It markets itself as a fast-paced action game, but it plays like a slow, punishing survival-horror game. The protagonist’s constant, aggressive bickering and the repetitive "fetch-key-to-open-door" mission structure make the mid-game feel like a literal job.

Atomic Heart plays something like a mix between BioShock and Half-Life. While some aspects of the game are genius, others feel bafflingly amateurish. On one hand you have the presentation. Mundfish takes some big swings and most of them connect. The visuals impress, both on a technical and design level. Environments and set pieces are detailed and often impressively creative. The sound also deserves mention. Music is eclectic, but the quality undeniable. You won't like every piece, but you're sure to love some of them. On the other hand, you have the gameplay. Endlessly spawning, self-repairing enemies. Dull, tedious fetch quests and puzzles. Repeatedly entering/exiting different menus and rewatching long-winded animations. Several times I asked myself: "Am I doing this right? Is this really how I'm supposed to play?" Despite introducing a lot of cool high-level sf concepts, the story somehow manages to feel quite uninteresting. It's also laughably contrived. Throughout the story, basically every named character is revealed to be working for the opposite side. I also found the tone a little strange, it definitely feels like something was lost in translation (and the English dub doesn't help). A severely flawed but commendably bold and ambitious game. A unique experience. Weakest of recommends. Good to know: [*]Quite difficult [*]Fully playable on the Steam Deck [*]100ish GB install

I would probably give this a mixed/neutral rating if I could. All you need to know is this was the devs first time working on a game ever. And it shows in the jank and design choices. There will be some frustration, but the world and lore is pretty interesting. Tip: In accessibility settings turn on auto puzzle solving. It just solves the stupid time waster lockpick door puzzles automatically. They appear too often and add literally nothing.
