It's not abysmal at all. But it doesn't feel next-gen either.

Same here, I saw in another thread that they did their review before the latest patch came out, which was a day or two after the day one patch.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Yeah the intro does drag on for a while lol.
But I really enjoyed the game. It feels like a huge homage to Bioshock Infinite in so many ways.

It really is great ambient music. Reminds me of Deus Ex. I noticed it as well.

Aye they're totally borked. I've completed, got all of the guns etc, none of them came up.
I've read that every time you shut the game off they reset..
I didnt care though, I loved the game. Cant wait to see what Mundfish will do next.

At first the game seems relatively difficult, yes.
But as soon as the lovely "Nora" levels up your shooting irons and skills, things really get going. When it comes to skills, I would limit myself to one and fully develop it. Mass Telikinesis for example is very powerful.
On the surface in the more open areas, the enemies respawn again and again. (Imo the only design flaw that you can really blame the game for). I wouldn't waste too much time here. Do a few puzzle dungeons, clear out a house here and there, but then take a car and drive straight to the next main mission.

Not very high in my opinion. The main levels are linear and the semi-open world sections are rather annoying because of the constantly respawning opponents. The only thing left are the Legacy Puzzle Dungeons. But those you can just visit again after completing the main story.

It starts of very challenging but man about mid way you kill everything with ease. Keep going it's worth it.

I started Deathloop, and it’s the first First Person Game/Shooter I’ve played in the four months I’ve had a PS5. I tend to favor Third Person Games.
That said, I do like the gameplay/melee/shooting in Deathloop.. So if anyone has played both, is that “feel” the same in Atomic Heart? Is Atomic Heart better or worse than Deathloop?

they're different from each other Atomic Heart is slow based and most of the enemies are melee attackers !
the game is very similar too
Bioshock
Prey
and even Half life

Oh interesting. From some of the footage I watched Atomic Heart seemed fast paced and hectic (in the outdoor scenes) with nonstop robots attacking. But I admit I’m purposely not watching a lot because I don’t want to spoil it if I play it

Deathloop isn't strictly about your skills as a player. You can bypass combat by taking stealth and different routes.
Atomic Heart feels better to play and you will need to get good a little bit as well. Not a straight up shooter I feel, has some survival game aspects to it.

Any further Patches on this for Xbox and PC? not started it yet, as I'm waiting for it to be fixed.
They pretended to be a good dev on the reddit the first week it was out, promising to listen to fans.
All these weeks now and still on loading my game I lose my 2nd dodge and random skills until I go to a NORA to uninstall/install them to force them to reappear on my HUD.

that's only when the alarm goes to level 2 which happens rarely
Whats wrong with the pc version? Only issues i've had has been being knocked into geometry and unable to move (alot and it's pissing me off) and I don't expect that to be fixed. I'm still early in the game I guess though, I only killed hedgie last night which is the first boss I think.
edit: oh and I don't think I can change the fov, can't find it in the settings and the fov is super low at default.

Should loot to upgrade , specially the 1st half of the game...so the second is easier...the best time for looting is after you see the first time the twin women robots...

Got this today, used, so if I don’t like it, I could bring it back for a full refund within a week
That said, why don’t I feel any haptic feedback? The developer said it would be there on the PS5
I don’t see a Setting for it in the game.
Is it because the game is still downloading as I’m playing??
Any PS5 gamers know?

Replying to myself because it might be related
I see the game is still downloading for another 30 minutes. Could that be why i don’t feel haptic feedback?

It is in the sense that ya have to prepare your “left and right hand”
And if ya want to add to it, there’s also Deathloop. Also comparable to Bioshock:!The circus sounds, the drunk obnoxious behavior of the citizens, the left and right hand prep… etc

This game likes to waste your time with those stupid snap locks, collecting shit to progress forward, etc.
When you get into the VDNH and you're talking to the female robot, she has you collect some BS items for the "Darwin Test", then you have to tail her and she stops at every exhibit and sits there for like a minute talking about some nonsense BS, I couldn't help but think the devs were probably having a laugh at the expense of gamers. Then 30 minutes later you're having to play fucking Snake, for God knows what reason, and I just about gave up.

It's clearly bioshock inspired. It mixes melee combat with powers and guns. It has cameras that detect you and send in mini flying robots to take you out. It's even starts like bioshock but you go down. It has save points at machines and you get upgrades from those machines... I don't know what game you played.

Playing the free trial of this on PS Plus Premium.
This game is insufferable and so is the protagonist. Terrible.

Play with the russian dub. The character will still be an asshole, but at least he's a russian asshole so that makes it charming in a twisted way.
This game is a lot of fun, it gets a bit repetitive, but it's incredibly insane and I enjoyed my time with it.

As a Russian myself i'll say this - there is no way you can translate everything P-3 / Nechaev says (but tbh most of what the game has to say) cuz it's completely untranslatable to other languages and it is exactly the reason why many people think that what he says is a bunch on nonsense and he's a terrible character, while in fact it's just a language and cultural barrier.
If you didn't live in the USSR, it's just impossible to get every cultural reference, every joke, strong words etc. etc. etc. Moreover, Atomic Heart is a way harder (if not impossible, as I've said) game to translate properly than any Metro or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game. In a way, I think here's where Japan games also suffer from translation bc it's a very similar situation with their games as well.
The best way I can describe P-3 / Nechaev - dumb military man. But here's the thing, he sure looks, acts and sounds like it, but the reason as to why he is how he is is because of what happened to him and I won't spoil any specifics. I'll just say that by the end of the game everything becomes very clear (even LSD-like dream level) and you look at him and at the events in the game differently. I think Atomic Heart is the best game made by a Russian dev team since.... Nival's Heroes of Might and Magic V. The game is not perfect, but i'm sure sequel (in development) will be way better, more varied and much less repetitive combat-wise and they'll fix not so great open world in terms of what you do in it.
I haven't played any DLC yet, waiting for all of them to come out.

No man the best game made by a Russian team is by far Pathologic 2 (as this is straight up one of the best games ever).
But Atomic Heart was pretty good and kind of underrated I agree

This is what we call "lost in translation".
Some words or phrases can't be translated to other languages because they don't have a word to describe the definition.
