The Major actually comes across as a decent person, upset at hearing about people dying and loyal to those who have helped him, and Granny Zina owns any scene she shows up in. The Utopian retro-future turns out to have its secrets, of course, and a giant gap in the Major's memory is a flashing neon sign for narrative shenanigans, but that's OK because we came here for a roller-coaster ride after all. Atomic Heart keeps on going and throws everything at the wall, from large set-pieces to quiet moments of exploration, packed encounters or tough single enemies, stealth areas that you can bull on through if sneaking isn't your thing, and plenty of little puzzles to add more variety to a game that already had plenty. Whatever lies at the heart of Facility 3826, whatever the project ends up meaning, Atomic Heart is an incredible adventure into the retro-future history of a Russia that never existed.","2025-01-15T05:12:30.273636-05:00",{"id":847,"logo":859,"name":860,"slug":861,"tags":204,"bluesky":26,"twitter":862,"youtube":863,"facebook":864,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":865,"website_url":866,"score_format":78,"average_score":211,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":867,"stats_updated_at":868,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":869,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":779,"published_reviews_count":870},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FHardcore-Gamer-Logo.jpg","Hardcore Gamer ","hardcore-gamer","HardcoreGamer","HardcoreGamerVideo","Hardcore-Gamer","Follow us for the latest and greatest in video game news, previews, reviews and more.

A recommendation depends on your own interest with the world of Atomic Heart, we must admit. The game's premise remains intriguing throughout, and its main missions provide some great combat scenarios to get stuck into, especially when it comes to using powers and the skill tree system to create character builds. Yet, the game's overworld is largely skippable which is a huge bummer, and its main storyline does little to enhance the incredibly interesting world Mundfish has created. Atomic Heart is well worth a play for the immersive FPS fanatics out there, but it's wise to temper your expectations when names like BioShock and DOOM are being thrown around in comparison. Atomic Heart is a solid alternate-history shooter, but it takes a bit more than building an intriguing world to become a true great in the genre.","2025-01-19T09:27:05.378106-05:00",{"id":913,"logo":925,"name":926,"slug":927,"tags":351,"bluesky":928,"twitter":929,"youtube":929,"facebook":930,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":931,"website_url":932,"score_format":46,"average_score":158,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPure-Xbox-Logo.jpg","Pure Xbox","pure-xbox","purexbox.com","purexbox","PureXbox","The latest Xbox Series X|S news, reviews and features + some retro Xbox 360 & Original Xbox.
