There are a lot of awesome ideas in here that you only get from first-time developers. And there are a lot of obvious missteps in here that you only get from first-time developers.

[Kvantum]

The constant "Crispy Critters" lines are actually addressed if you go far enough along in the game. It's a side effect of... what the main character has gone through before the game.

[slowzen]

Not sure I can forgive you for cutting out the second where Tim Curry tries not to laugh at his own line

[konradchristen]

The telekinesis is the real OP ability. Picking up every enemy in a radius and flying enemies is broken compared to freezing one thing that is right in front of you.

[chadjones]

You cut the pause out of Tim's line. His chuckle before delivering that line is key.

[Sailed_away]

The devs exactly knew what they were doing when they designed those robo sisters

[joewilson]

The main characters dialog really made me realize why the silent protagonist is so appealing for game developers. The ones that are not silent can miss really badly.

1:40 Never has the C&C meme been more appropriate.
Perfect! Well done!

I will say one thing that I LOVED them for doing is that you can disassemble any of your weapons and you get ALL of the materials back for it and any mods on it. Same for removing powers and getting all of the points back. I have no idea why games insist on giving you (essentially) a penalty to redo your skill tree/weapons mods/etc. With Atomic Heart, there is absolutely no worry about experimenting and just trying out different weapons and power configurations. Sometimes, I would even change everything to a specific set up just for a certain area or boss battle.
More games need to follow this idea of encouraging you to experiment rather than making you worry about whether you should use your special materials/skill points on this or that upgrade because you don't want to "waste" them, especially early on.

All you need in order to be the most annoyed super soldier is get the talking glove from Atomic, the talking bracelet from forspoken and the talking guns from high on life

[rubydearest]

We gotta be honest it's not perfect but it's pretty well made for their first game

[Charles_Drakkan]

I feel called out, there's just two reasons I bought this game and that's all I'm gonna say

Also you know it's all on purpose when you realize that the metal checks jiggle, they put physics on metal

[darrylferguson]

While the MC was irritating to the point that i wanted to personally punch him within 30 of the game, i have to commend the writers for still managing to have unexpected twists in spite of the clear influence behind the story, the enemy design as the enemies always managed to feel threatening, and i am most of all thankful to the devs that N.O.R.A is unable to upgrade herself into having a mobile body like the Twins.

Joking aside, its honestly amazing how closely the game lives up to the trailers considering how this is Mundfish's first game- So it would be completely worth buying on a $40 sale

[claytonrios]

You can admit that you bought this game for the curvy robots. Everyone has a kink after all.

[easygamer]

We all know where the Russian defence budget went, straight into robot jiggle physics development.

[Memelord]

Please say, “There’s no escape. The only hope is the sweet relief of death.”

[philiplopresti]

Dammit- I failed to get an Honest Game Trailer for SimCity done again.
But hell, if I give up now, what kind of deranged psycho would I be?

Do SimCity!

SimCity! SimCity! SimCity!

[amerikaOnFire]

Dude, you aren't wrong about the PC port. I have a pretty good PC (amd 5900x with rtx3800) and even I can't run most games on medium without needing to dial back a few things. I'm running this game on it's Ultra setting and it is dropping no frames, I'm getting way above 60fps and there is no mouse input latency or latency spikes. It really should be the standard.

Also, most everything else you said is pretty true about the game haha. Definitely the RC Cola Bioshock Infinite...but also definitely bonkers enough to keep a person interested.

[agentepolaris]

I really hope this game is the beginning of a large franchise, there's so much heart in this game and it shows, I'm really looking forward to whatever these developers give us next

[FireCat]

I'm surprised there wasn't more talk about robot girls, he always talks about BEWBS!
