I was extremely looking forward to Atomic Heart because it looked like a game like Bioshock in 1950s alternative Russia. That's more or less what it is. The retro-futuristic aesthetics Are beautiful and the world itself seems coherent. I really liked everything about the gameplay, it plays smoothly and the battles are massive. The main character was the biggest problem for me because he plays dumb all the time. But the story becomes very exciting towards the end and for a Double A game it is also neatly staged. However, I missed a few more abilities and the open world is a joke. Only scenery, nothing to discover. In addition, it is sometimes too close to Bioshock, but then not as clever and good.
