Atomic Heart Review: Blast From The Alt-Past | DualShockers

DS writes: "Despite a few missed opportunities to really build on the great games it’s inspired by, Atomic Heart surprised me, with a remarkably inventive world that brings to life (the tears apart) the weirdest, wildest visions of Soviet propaganda. This is a game that’s been through over half a decade of development hell, and come out the other side as one of the best first-person shooters this generation."

"one of the best first-person shooters this generation"

Another review said it was a GOTY contender - what gives with the mixed reviews? Please tell me it's not political.

Minimoth1060d ago

It is partially political, yes. But also, the game has certain mechanics that may annoy certain people, and the dialogue is also a point of contention.

SullysCigar1060d ago

Dialogue was a bone of contention for Forespoken too and that also had some unpopular mechanics. That game had mixed reviews too (though, like Atomic Heart, mostly positive), but when people gave it a chance they seemed to like it just fine. Hopefully people will enjoy this game too.

YouTube comments are full of people with Ukrainian flags in their username, saying "PLS DON'T BUY!", like the developers have anything to do with political stuff. They're just making their game. If you like the look of it, but it, if not, don't. It's not that deep.

10 million players for Atomic Heart, nice!

Does this mean we might see an Atomic Heart 2? Crispy Critters!

NovoSlev232d ago

They're launching a new publishing label, Mundfish Powerhouse, but I wouldn't be shocked if they'll be using that to self-publish Atomic Heart 2 - hopefully!

Lightning77231d ago

It's on GP. 10 million players and a made another studio? So Did Gamepass help or contribute in making another studio for them? I know its on other platforms which also helped their new venture.

Boy_the_CowRoy230d ago

10 million? Hard to believe for a game with only 400 people playing this game currently and a all time peak of only 37k on PC. Is the difference in popularity of this game on console and PC really that big?

MrDead230d ago

Well done Mundfish, I had a fun time with this game... apart from the 2nd dlc. Great world building, a solid storyline and Bioshock style gameplay. Looking forward to what comes next.

DivineHand125228d ago

I started playing the game on Gamepass a while back. I stopped because it wasn't my cup of tea.

I am glad they were able to build a fan base for this game.
