On Steam, Atomic Heart surprises with fairly good ratings, and after that test reviews were somewhat mixed.
The gaming press and society don’t always agree. A critically acclaimed title can still flop, but games that fail the press can sometimes have many fans. While Atomic Heart isn’t among those extremes, it does come from Metacritic Just
to a solid 77 for the PC version. However, there are signs of much better Steam ratings.
You can read what we think of the shooter in our detailed test:
What do the players say?
What is praise?
The shooter is currently available on Steam 89 percent positive reviews, so a more positive picture emerges from Metacritic. Reviews praise the stylish graphics and atmosphere of the alternate Soviet Union, but the battles are clearly fun for many players. Technology also seems to be involved: many reviews confirm that the shooter can be played without any performance problems. This is how he writes about it Satan spreads:
Atomic Heart has it The heart is in the right place
It inspires you with a very exciting game world that invites you to explore many puzzles and fully loaded action. The game runs beautifully without any performance issues at 4K (which is not a given these days). […] If you like a mix of Half Life and Bioshock, you’ll get your money’s worth with Atomic Heart.
Comparisons are made to Bioshock, Half Life, or Fallout quite often. With its mix of weaponry and elemental powers, physics-based puzzles, and retro futuristic scenario set in the 1950s, Atomic Heart reminds many of this game series. In addition to the setting, many reviews also mention the story, such as the reviewers drproof But also look at the minor vulnerabilities:
The beginning is great, then it gets a little long, but I like the humor. […]I also have to give credit to the developers for coming up with endless puzzle ideas. There are different lock puzzles, laser puzzles, magnetic puzzles, switch puzzles, etc… Variety is simply provided.
Some players are also positive lately Soundtrack by Mick Gordon He is best known for his music for Doom and Wolfenstein. Majkul He writes in a more humorous review:
This new album from Mick Gordon brings an excellent machine and mutant fighting game to the table.
What do you criticize?
While the game technically runs quite smoothly, one feature or the other is missing, such as the FOV slider. According to the developers, this will be delivered soon with an update. The built-in mouse acceleration and lack of RTX features advertised before launch were also met with incomprehension.

Another point of criticism is the story and characters from time to time. While positive reviews often pointed out weaknesses in the story, others were completely disappointed in the personality of the main character, like herself Hey Describe:
The game has an excellent atmosphere that is constantly interrupted by the annoying protagonist and the harrowing story. For the first two hours, you are only busy opening doors and solving simple but daunting puzzles. Meanwhile, your character is telling Duke Nukem jokes.
This game would be amazing if they focused more on the mysterious and unique atmosphere rather than adding dialogues that are just crap. You can’t ignore it either, because the hero and the gauntlet talk so much that when I do something new they want to talk about, the dialogue is often interrupted by another dialogue.
But the battles are not well received by all players and sometimes have to be criticized. This is how he writes about it Nexus is shown:
The fights don’t feel at all satisfactory yet. Very slow attacks against fairly fast bots. The game teaches you an evasion mechanic, but you can only use it in a short window for a particularly powerful bot attack. Other than that, it’s all about moving and making light attacks. truly? Quick time events as the main combat mechanic?
Finally, the background of the developers of Atomic Heart is a reason to discuss one or the other. You can read more about the controversy surrounding the shooter here:
