Atomic Heart Left Me Completely DISAPPOINTED... | Review

The wait for Atomic Heart has been mighty long and now it's finally here! After all this build up, it has to be worth something, right? Unfortunately, Atomic Heart is an extremely unbalanced experience with some highs and extreme lows. The game lacks focus as it tries to do too much and ultimately suffers for it. What's there in the world is good, but it's undermined by awful writing, clunky gameplay, and dreadful encounter design.

You also recommended AC Valhalla and disliked yakuza like a dragon so I’ll have to check this out for myself

You said Soviet Russia winning World War 2 was alternative history, but that's literally what happened in real life.

[ruben]

My only problem is the open world part. It's like it punishes you for exploring, with all those respawning enemies and so many of them. It makes me so annoyed, and I just end up ignoring the enemies in the open world.

It's people who hype the game up to a crazy unrealistic level and then get disappointed. It's a solid game overall

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaafafaff]

First off the USSR did win WW2? lol They were part of the allies, that portion of history is not fake?

[CaptainBonClay]

I’ve been playing this game for 4 hours at this point and I love it, I also think it’s weird to be okay with fallout 4s combat systems yet not this game! They feel the same to me

2:25 I mean, Soviets did win World War 2, they were one of the Allied powers. That is no alternate history lol

[JackMiddleton]

No disrespect Matty I love your content but I completely disagree with you on this one. I'm really enjoying the game and the combat feels great to me. I urge anyone that feels "disappointed" to watch all trailers up until launch and you can clearly see the game launched in a much better state than the trailers had shown.

> "The robots are here because Soviet Russia won World War II, a fascinating outcome for someone who really enjoys alternate history. It reminds me a bit of, say, Wolfenstein, where what happens if the Germans won World War II."

Matty, the Soviets *did* win World War II...

Did you not use Telekinesis? I felt like that really opened up combat, especially when large amounts of enemies rush at you.

[PjonaEdits]

Honestly for this being thier first game it's pretty amazing! They kept up with thier word and accually released the game. Honestly from here on out if they take the criticism and implement with future titles we got something amazing here.

Telekinesis is your best friend in this game for fights, being able to lift up all the enemies that run at you at once and slam them to the ground makes it so much easier and less likely to take loads of damage. Wasting your time trying to freeze an enemy when there's several others coming at you at the same time.

I personally had no major bugs or glitches on the Series X. There was a few moments in the beginning (mostly when I got to the world itself) where the frame rate dipped from smooth to studdery. Other than that I've had a really good time. It isn't a perfect game of course, but its way better than some other AAA games from the last 2 years. I would call it an awesome first game with definite room for improvement. I do agree I think it should cost less but 100% worth a download if you have the Gamepass like I do :)

If you expected Bioshock you WILL be disappointed. This game has its own charm.

[troy]

The way matty describes the combat in this game actually makes me want it. I'm sick of games that go easy on you, I want to be overwhelmed with enemy's and play a game where upgrades are actually useful and not optional. I want the world to be a scary place filled with these terrifying robots. It's funny hearing matty talk about crappy combat when we have all played bethesda games, if I can play those I'm sure this game is better than bethesdas combat. I have gamepass so i'll definitely give it a try.

[shinobly]

For one of their first games honestly very impressive

[bernybornis]

The Soviet Union DID win WW2 so that's not the alternative history part.

[hardcoregammer]

I’m hearing the overall game is great. I’ve been hearing people struggle to say what it is they don’t like about the game. Lately, too many games get skull drug by reviewers, only to be loved by gamers later. I’ll have to check this one out for myself.

2:22 "The robots are here because Soviet Russia won WW2, a fascinating outcome...as someone who really does enjoy alternate history"

...I'm not sure we're operating under the same definition of what "alternate" history is.

[LeftCandy]

"Because Soviet Russia had won World War 2" That's not alt-history
