I feel extremely frustrated because you can tell that the devs put a TON of time, love, passion, etc. into this game. This is a hell of a first entry for Mundfish and they really came out swinging. But having waited 7 years to play this game (didn't buy it till 2025 because of middling reviews), I can't help but feel incredibly let down.

The lore, style, and enemy designs are so insanely cool. But the way the story is spoon-fed to you like you're an idiot ruined the experience for me. I know that there are some translation/localization issues that make for REALLY cumbersome dialogue, but the way story is delivered to you is deeply rooted in the game and independent of these translation issues.

I've seen a lot of people compare Atomic Heart to Bioshock and I totally disagree - aside from having an ability similar to Electro Bolt, both games being FPS games with RPG elements, and both protagonists having some form of amnesia (being vague to avoid spoilers), the similarities end there. The writing is awkward, the characters never shut up, and the ending is basically just sequel-bait.

If you turn your brain off and just want to play a stylish action RPG-adjacent FPS game, then you'll have a great time. If you want a story that respects your intelligence, look elsewhere.

This game made me feel a bit like when I first played half-life. Also, visually it looks above its generation most of the time. Has a couple flaws here and there. But it´s an overall great game. Be ready to unlock puzzle locks a lot. Anyway. A game I appreciated.

se crashea este juego, no lo compren, ni pirata sirve su porqueria. maldita basura.
