J4MES OX4D 10,025 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'm sure there was a thread somewhere but it's probably buried seeing that this game has been in development for seemingly ever and we haven't heard a peep for almost a year. New trailer has dropped though and it looks good - supposed to be out this year but we've heard that all before with this game Riff Machine, GazzaGarratt and IRaMPaGe 3 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9734-atomic-heart/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,743 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 It's on Xbox GamePass so I'll more than likely check it out. When I first became aware of this game i thought it was riffing off (nor ripping) Stalker but now I can't remember so will check the video above, cheers👍 Riff Machine, IRaMPaGe, GazzaGarratt and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9734-atomic-heart/#findComment-151953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it looks like they've done a very good job overall with a truly unique setting and not only that, this is a rare game that actually seems to represent the gameplay trailers we've seen previous.

phil bottle 9,743 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Reviews are coming in, and a fairy mixed response to it. I will try it out on Gamepass, possibly on Xbox but most likely on PC.

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I installed this on my Series X tonight, and I'll give it a go tomorrow. The mixed reviews I've seen make me feel so glad this is on game pass. If you've played it, post your thoughts here. I've heard its a russian bioshock wannabe.

Luseth 1,937 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Please let us know, this is one of those games I was keeping an eye on but yeah I wasn't sure if it would be great or not. My game pass has lapsed at the moment but I was thinking I might renew it at some point.

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Ok, right off the bat. Why does no one sound Russian?!?!? If the game is based in an alternate Russia, why the fuck does everyone sound American?? The intro sequence is a fucking slog. I legit wanted to shut the game off during it. This thing just drags this intro bit so damn slow, and It is just boring as hell. They try to fill it with some lore crap, but due to the aforementioned lack of anyone sounding like a Russian, I find that I don't care. This isn't off to a good start at all. *UPDATE* I did in fact shut it down after over 30 minutes of non-playing intro. I'll get into the ACTUAL gameplay tomorrow if @Rumelyladydoesn't go to wizard school.

phil bottle 9,743 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Totally agree with @Riff Machine about the immersion. The accents are jarring, yet when you play the radio in the car it's Russian language music. So stupid. I runs pretty well, I have all settings maxed and I'm getting 60fps, not bad for the old 1080ti. Too early to say much else, I've only played an hour. Melee is average, not a patch on something like Dying Light, so hope the gunplay is better.

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Yeah, I've been having a hard time getting into this game. Every few minutes they throw an unskippable, unplayable cut scene that just takes me right out of it. All the beauty bits in Bioshock or Bioshock infinite had a charm about them that made you want to keep moving. Due to my previous mention about the lack of Russian accents, and honestly some really cringe-worthy voice acting, this is lacking the charm to keep me interested. I think I may shelf this and come back at a later date. phil bottle and IRaMPaGe 2 *The opinions of Riff Machine do not reflect those of Forever Gaming ;)* Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9734-atomic-heart/#findComment-152735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that did me in the intro bit is that I walked through a car park past a load of cars, into a complex, went into a lift and up a few floors, picked up a key and then came back down in the lift and back out of the complex and then back to the cars I'd just walked past. I did nothing else at all there. It was just a totally pointless 5 minutes of walking around.

phil bottle 9,743 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Yeah, I uninstalled the PC version but kept it on Xbox in case I feel like returning. Just doesn't grab me. For all the apparent inventiveness the game doesn't seem to have its own personality.

Addryn 16 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I liked the game. Not to say that I wanted to play it again, but I liked the way the creators completed the story. I felt like a fool who did everything under the influence of manipulators 😅 IRaMPaGe 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9734-atomic-heart/#findComment-153157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
