  • Atomic Heart is a very average video game which's reception has shot up to overrated levels because of the failed boycott. It's boring, draggy, and just in general, not a very good or amazing game. It doesn't suck, but it for sure does not succeed in delivering on the themes it beautifully showcases in its intro, making the rest of the game a facade and disappointment. Especially for the $70 price tag, it is most definitely not worth buying, either try it on game pass, or leave it alone. The conceptual potential seems like as deep as an ocean from the outside, but as shallow as a sink when you actually play, and most definitely not a Bioshock competitor.
    This is my Review for the 2023, Atomic Heart (AH)
    If you enjoyed the video, consider liking and subscribing, goes a very long way. I spend a very long time making reviews and video essays.

    I agree with almost everything, very nice review. To me personally the biggest issue with this game, aside from the poorly executed stealth mechanics and clunky melee combat, is that it feels completely aimless and poorly executed in what it tries to do. A 10 hours linear adventure with tighter combat, no open areas, less damn cameras and and a dozen less puzzles and locks would have done wonders to this game. It simply needed to be a more focused and polished experience.

      You people have been complaining about scripted, linear games for literal years, and when companies deliver something other than that you cry "aimless" and complain that it isn't a scripted linear experience.
      Gamers have no idea what they actually want lol.

      1) shoot the cameras

      3)plenty of open areas in the open world section
      4)the puzzles are meant to be challenging
      I agree with you on the unfinished stealth mechanic and the locks tho.

    I beat this game mainly with Axe how you might ask because theres a fight glitch in the game as long as you duck when confronting the robots or a boss they can.t attack you only when they leap on you but you can avoid this maneuver if your quick all in all this game though it took 7yrs in the making after defeating the robot wifes of the hero the true villain escapes but its still fun to play just not twice.😊

    To me puzzles were never a problem I could just infinitely jump in the game by capping fps to 300 on 2k res for some reason you just can get through anything by it, but the game is full of bugs and I got softlocked a lot of times, considering lotta people have it too this game doesn't deserve it's price tag.

    When this game was first revealed, what stuck out to me was the focus on unorthodox horror, tight focus, and unique design. It’s unfortunate that those aspects went to the wayside to be more like a bioshock clone when they were what could’ve made the game a potential gem

  • @DanielOtien
    @DanielOtien Год назад +4

    Many things you got right on point, and I agree with your conclusion. Still some things that confuse you about this game can be easily explained.
    I believe you are not related whatsoever to the culture of former USSR countries, as it changes perspective quite a bit.
    Where you see absurdity - we see irony.
    Where you see overflow of trash talk - seemingly unnecessary and meaningless - well, I hate to break it to you, but Yes, they Are.
    And thats how we generally expect the "MC kind" to talk.
    It does not take away the point that it poorly translates to English, maybe they could have done a better work there.
    And the last why - there is an additional layer that hides rough edges for us - is a mixed nostalgia feeling that is blasted at you from every frame,
    every speaker, and surprisingly even from the plot, as from our perspective, given the circumstances, I would call it quite realistic give or take.
    I spent 40h on it and honestly quite liked it, yet I agree with you on most of the points. Surprisingly good quality for your channel size, Sub : )

    The mantra of every mediocre gaming reviewer. If it was just the boycott that made this game popular it would have been immediately been mass-refunded and plummeted the steam charts.

      Which was exactly the case. lol. Went from 37,000 players on launch to 500 on steam charts.
      Perhaps, just perhaps, watch the review before aggressively commenting something stupid. Or better yet, verify your own reasoning before trying to falsify an opinion.
      > A game can still be good when you think it’s bad or mediocre.
      Yeah, it can be. Is my opinion objective? No. Does everyone have to resonate with my opinion? No. So… the opposite also applies. A game can be bad for some even when you think it is excellent or great.
