And as a libertarian, Andrew didn't understand the concept of duty, so he became a tyrant.

Agree. Synth has great based potential but he is like a street brawler. He needs a good master to refine his killer technique and he will be unstoppable.

I feel like this game is really indicative of the wider trend of directionlessness in the industry. A lot of games, this one included, seem to add features and mechanics because they're present in other games, not because they fully understand the how and why of their implementation. I'm sure a design-by-committee approach is partly to blame, but I think the more fundamental issue is that modern devs either can't commit to a single vision or they simply don't understand the mechanics necessary to produce that singular vision. Making games is difficult enough as is, but it gets exponentially harder the more chefs you have in the kitchen - so to speak. The larger the dev team, the more likely it is that you have a greater number of individuals attempting to influence the project in their desired direction. Without a unifying force, these projects simply splinter into disparate, contradicting, or nonsensical ideas that coalesce into either bland sludge or a broken mess.

A commentary on your observation about modern devs vs older devs, the older devs did not work on a formula, they just made what ever they thought it was fun, the main focus was how to make it more fun. I remember some old interviews on how even the concept of a video game was debatable. On top of that most people now are not happy, that cool humor in the late 90s and early 2000 is no longer common.

modern KZread is notorious for squashing small content creators, especially ones who are against the mainstream like you. You have earned my like and share.

As a kid born in soviet union, I enjoyed that one episode of "just you wait, hare" (russian knockoff Tom and Jerry) you could watch on tv in the first city. That was nice touch.

When a game tries some risky/innovative new stuff, (like what Demon's Souls did back in his day) even if most of it ends up being terrible, you can't help but feel more indulgent toward the game because at least it tried new things, it took a risk despite the massive budget that go into creating a game.

That "The Incredibles" boss really was great. Atleast something cool gets used from that superb movie ^^

Atomic Heart isn't a flawless game, but it's just so nice to play a new game with high production value that isn't wall to wall diversity/trans/gay shit, It's actually sadder when you realize the sort of games were quite commonplace back in the early 10s, also for their first game it runs smoothly and few bugs that can be fixed shortly but this speaks volume how shit the western game industry has become when expecting a buggy broken game on launch is the norm now.

Far too many games make the mistake of having weapons that don’t feel like they have adequate punch to them. That really kills it for me. Especially in a shooter, this should not be the case

The devs also cucked out and censored the in-game cartoon.

For a first game they didn’t do too bad! There’s something here in Atomic Heart but whatever it is it’s not for me. Maybe if the devs had more time and resources they could have made a GOTY contender! But I’d have to agree with Synth on this one

The game is perfectly fine. Most issues can be patched. It lets you play however you want and doesn’t punish you for wanting to switch your playstyle( all resources can be taken back from weapons and applyed elsewhere without consequences). I feel like most of the people reviewing it, aren’t going in depth with reading all possible upgrades so they aren’t planning on seeing how they want to play. Every playstyle other than stealth can be upgraded. Everyone I see trashing the game use freeze and cheese everything. Despite what you’ve heard, the lack of variety of enemy types isn’t so bad because all the bots have insanely smooth animations when giving and taking damage. You really feel like you’re physically destroying everything. It’s fast paced and rewards using the sum of your equipment, not just cheese one part of it. People reviewing this game badly are going to regret it later the more they play it. They hated it because they rushed through it. Game pass is like 15 bucks, play it for yourself for cheap and if you like it buy it. I plan on purchasing it as soon as I have the cash to spare so I can own this masterpiece. All we’ve had is regurgitated garbage for years now and finally we get something refreshing and wild. If we can’t appreciate something with soul then maybe we’ve deserved soullessness we get from mainstream developers now. At least somebody took a risk as a small studio and painted their vision

Bro. In-game characters mention it multiple times. The soviet union does Not sell the robots. They give them away for Free. And this replaced human labor in the USA and other countries. This further led to unemployed humans suffering from poverty.

I think it is less about 'enemy variety' and more about situational variety. If you fought similar enemies in a vast and varied amount of situations and variables, the game could be fun. The issue comes when you over populate your scenarios with similar enemies whilst also not shifting the paradigm very far between said scenarios. An easy example they could of done here: One of the facilities you go into is emitting electrical interference which prevents you from using your plasmids and power based firearms. The enemies (which could be the same mannequins) could be coated in some sort of polymer that allows them to continue functioning, but also make them less aware. So you'd play that section as a pseudo-stealth mission whilst relying upon your conventional firearms. The boss could turn the electrical interference on and off during the fight, but also make themselves giga-buffed when they turn it off (coinciding with your also getting your powers uninhibited).

This is actually a great point and exactly why I love Resident Evil 4. You can get away with a dozen enemy types if the encounter design constantly shakes up the gameplay. That's also why I'm not a huge arena shooter fan, because when handled poorly every fight is exactly the same, like this game.

Kind of an over critical review. Aside from enemy variety and underwhelming melee combat, this game has been more enjoyable than most releases in recent memory. Games a 7/10 bare minimum . For a first release this is extremely promising. Music is great, graphics are great. Not much to hate on!

@@BWMagus Spongy enemies I agree with wholeheartedly . Repetition, however, is the name of the modern gaming world. That just comes with the territory .

I'm very intrigued by this game. It might be somewhat messy, but it definitely has heart and soul put into it. It seems like a decent AA euro jank game, especially as their first game. Like synthetic man, I like quality in my gameplay AND I like story cutscenes, lore development, and world building; but only if it's a story worth telling. I'll stick to the Russian dub. Regarding the gripe of the infinite enemy thing, I heard it can be solved by killing the hive. However, the lack of enemy variety is unfortunate. It seems like an amalgam of bioshock and a little fallout. The soundtrack is banging with mick Gordon, 50s Americana style songs in Russian, recognizable opera, and good classical music. I'll definitely get it when it's on sale

While it is sad that the game is mid, for a first game, there visual design department did it very well

The reasoning behind why your character says "crispy critters" all the time should have been revealed during the opening of the game cause while it doesn't make him less annoying, you at least understand it's not him trying to avoid swearing. (Cause he almost always says it right before or after swearing.)

I literally just finished the game and got this video recommended lol. I played on game pass so no cost on that department but, honestly I liked it. I do think there are many flaws, the opening tutorial is way too long, having an open world is pretty pointless, there is way too much dialogue at times, the respawning enemies are quite annoying (my advice is to just ignore them and try to do things as quickly as possible unless you disable them. As for positives, I actually do really like the combat, I think the best melee weapon is the pachet (I think that's how it's called), a sword that has a magnetic blade that you can throw at enemies. Extremely good, especially useful against the last boss. The guns felt good, the movement becomes alright, I recommend investing in the character tree to get the increased running speed, really helpful. I did not use a lot of the polymers so I don't have many comments on that's, but to me the guns did just fine. Absolutely love the boss fights although I never died to a single one of them. The soundtrack is amazing. I liked the story, the twist at the end did surprise me and I liked the closing scene. As stated in the video the art direction and design is amazing, the word that was created and crafted was truly good and I would like to see more of it. In terms of politics, I suppose it really isn't as in depth as bioshock (also there is a huge bioshock reference near the end, impossible to miss), it didn't really criticize communism in any way, but then again I suppose you could make the argument that only in a world where the scientific discoveries are so magical and advanced, with robots doing everything for humans, basically an impossible dream of a perfect society, is where communism could actually work, witch is funny I'd say. Also, I played the game in Russian, the voice work is *way* better, but it does suck that there are too many parts where the captions just disappear and I got left in the dark as my russian is basically non existent, but fortunately that only happened in minor situations. I think that P-3 does get more likable towards the end of the game, I really liked Charles, but a lot of the cooler stuff in the story comes around at the end and that's kinda sad in someways, there are some aspects of the characters that could be better explored, and I think the game ends in a sort of sequel bait that is kinda interesting, but does make me question why all this wasn't show earlier in the game and developed through. So all and all, if you have game pass I'd recommend, endure the first five/six hours (and yeah it's a lot of time) and the game does get good, definitely some cool ideas, really nice world that has a lot of potential, but some poor choices in execution. Anyways, I don't really know why I took so much time of my day to write this, but if anybody read this far thank you for your time.

Definitely disagree with you. It's awesome. I do think it needs some polish, but overall, I really enjoyed it. I'm still playing it.

I kinda expected this. Something about the gameplay just screamed meh.

if the devs wanted to i'm sure they can improve or remove any of the bad parts. It doesn't seem like any of the problems aside from enemy variety are to deep to be repaired. I'm going to keep an eye on the updates for this one. If No Man Sky can be fixed when it was screwed up straight to the core then this one can be easily fixed.

Add some ennemy types, change the balance a bit to make the gameplay more enjoyable and make some adjustments, cut some dialogues. That would already make it quite better.

Thank you. This was a helpful review. This game -looked- really good, but only if they executed the combat well and it’s really hard to tell if combat will feel right when you’re just watching a demo. Looking at the Mundfish team photos it’s apparent that they are all very young. It’s unlikely that Bagratuni or anyone else has ever shepherded a project of this scale to completion. Maybe that’s why it took them so long to demo/release this after their big trailer release years ago. This is a good game genre and I hope this is a good learning opp for them and their investors maybe kick them cash for a smaller project where they can show improvement and then come back with a better FPS PVE game in a few more years. They probably need a new CEO or team lead though. Someone who has experience in coordinating game development. I wonder if any of the Obsidian guys are going to be looking for non-MSFT pastures now that it’s likely any non competes from the acquisition have run out.

I mean, his complaints in this review about "infinite respawns" while constantly triggering repair bots (that can be trivially destroyed with one telekinesis pull for example) only show that he is - sometimes - a typical gamepad-only urinalist.

I loved the game. It is lacking and buggy to hell and back but it tickles all my nostalgia sensors while being cynical and a fun shooter. Just running around with a railgun, AK and a rocket launcher laying havock on the robots is so much fun! The story was pretty good too.

I don't understand the hate/complaints. It's not a GOTY but it's really good and if you like Bioshock, it's an easy buy. IMO, lots of reviewers/streamers don't know how to play games, seriously. It's like they just started with the PS4 era, maybe, and then kind of blundered their way through easy mode on popular games. For example, lots of hate toward this game called Wanted: Dead and much of it was just nonsense. One common complaint was how the pistol was too weak and they'd have to shoot the enemy tons of times to kill them, yet were too dumb to realize the pistol isn't meant to kill but to stun/stagger enemies to set up combos. Even a lot of independent reviewers seem as shit as the corporate ones, it's sad.

I was pretty turned off by the 45 minute cut scene at the start and the dull intro into gameplay was indeed quite dull. I only play games about 2 hours a day at best so I was very disappointed and hesitant to bother playing the game again. You want the initial hours of the game to be arguable the very best moments of the game.

I think with games like this in terms of say the last past 20 years this would be the lower in comparison to the games that came out in 2003 to 2010 but in terms or today standards it breaks the mold that tripple A games are now supposed to go. Edit: also forgot to mention we need more youtubers like you in terms of looking at it in a critique way since not a lot of people make takes on the terms of how bad gaming is and were are getting at last my opinion above average game if you really think about it if you compare to GTA, RDR2, Fallout games, Skyrim games and I am sure I am missing some other games but at least this is a good step in a direction.

Damn what a great opening too the video, really laid it out, lol!

This game definitely DOES NOT glorify Communism once you get to the late game twists. There's a pretty on the nose statement about "The Kollectiv".

I liken this to STALKER SoC, which is ironic, considering STALKER 2/HoC is basically the rival of Atomic Heart. SoC was GSC's fist game, and they quickly pumped out slight revisions the following two years. Atomic Heart was Mundfish's first game, and they have already stated that Atomic Heart 2 is in the early planning stages.

Eh, average is still better than most games that are coming out right now and at least it’s in Gamepass.

Its not a home run but it's a fun game and the general aesthetic and setting is really cool. I feel that after their dlcs help them refine what works for them, their next game might be a masterpiece. One thing I really like is that they managed to actually make it challenging. Even normal difficulty has some challenge because you have to actually pay attention during combat to not get btfo in a melee with multiple robots. I do want to say that you are underplaying the amount of criticism of the Soviet Union in the game. It's a subtle thing here and there where you see that the Soviet Union, for all the great achievements in it both real and in the fiction, still had very real and very serious faults. It's just lame writing when the criticism of the setting is too overt and forced, it's almost refreshing that the problems of the Soviet utopia are subtle and not the only thing you notice, which is what destroys my immersion whenever i see anything about Wolfenstein games.
