Critic Reviews for Atomic Heart
Atomic Heart aims high and, even if it doesn't quite pull it off, is a decent shooter in an exceptionally realised setting.
A half-interesting game is buried by a mess of its own making - and represents an industry conundrum that will only continue to grow.
Atomic Heart's story, gameplay, and world design have promise, but the payoff is lacking across the board.
Atomic Heart is a highly imaginative, atompunk-inspired attempt at picking up where the likes of BioShock left off that makes missteps but definitely has the ticker to punch well above its weight.
Atomic Heart is three times too big and beats erratically, but its more confident components prevent it from flatlining.
The mix of highbrow story concept and complex first person combat is certainly reminiscent of Bioshock, but this churlish homage has nowhere near the same nuance in terms of either plot or gameplay.
Atomic Heart is a messy video game with big ideas and a desperate need for refinement
Atomic Heart is a good game on its own merits. The fun and frantic gunplay, outstanding visual design, and intricate level of detail in its world amount to an experience worth your time. On the other hand, it could have been so much more. The story and characters simply don’t do justice to the game’s thought-provoking premise, and some better writing would have done wonders. Despite that, Atomic Heart is still an exciting and memorable first outing from Mundfish.
