About 20 hours in, I feel like I am just scratching the surface of the game!

PROS:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BEAUTIFUL
- Perhaps the prettiest vanilla game I have ever played, ever.
Very creative premise and wonderful worldbuilding
- All the audio files you find really feel helpful and interesting, dont feel boring or overbearing like some games
- The posters and signs around the world feel natural and where they are supposed to be
- The world really feels like a socialist utopia
Enemies, friendlies, guns, all look great
- Crisp textures with unique animations
- Beautiful spark/fire/smoke/fog effects
Plenty of ways to combine powers
- Be it freezing an enemy then whacking the ♥♥♥♥ out of it, or covering them in flammable goo and lighting them up, there are many ways to wreak havoc on your robotic opponents
Compelling story
- It was a slow burn at first but at about 20 hours I am feeling invested in this story!
Puzzles are satisfying
- The puzzles are not to hard but still make you think a bit

CONS:
Tendency to get caught in weird geometry
- Trying to scale down a cliff to get the drop on an enemy below? Don't be surprised if you get caught between to pointy rocks and have to load a prior save
- Not frequent, I've only had to reload once, but I have had to spam the jump, dodge, and move buttons for a minute several times
The vendor/crafter menu is a little buggy sometimes
- Be it the menu always scrolling back to the top after moving anything or the menus sometimes getting stuck and requiring a game restart because ESC becomes useless (only happened once so far), the menus look and sound so sleek, but the function doesn't match. For the most part it won't be anything to complain about, but when it is annoying, it's annoying

THINGS THAT MAY PUT PEOPLE OFF:
- I had to crank the difficulty up allll the way to feel like I was actually being challenged. People who are looking for a Dark Soulsesque challenge will probably be a little let down
- The game does not hold your hand when it comes to explaining new mechanics as much as I would like it to. I found myself having to google something twice now. Not too annoying but still.
- The writing for the main character is like an 80s action hero. ♥♥♥♥ this, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that, dumbass here, prick there. The Voice Actor is great, but the writing for him can be a bit cringe-inducing at times. All the other characters sound and speak pretty naturally, though.

All said and done, I am having a blast so far. A beautiful game with an interesting story and characters to match, you will always be either shooting or slashing it up, taking in the scenery, or solving puzzles. The menus can be a bit janky at times and the enemies can feel a little childish in their difficulty if youre looking for a real real real challenge, but Mundfish truly has a gem on their hands. With a patch or two this game could be close to perfect!

Check out some gameplay, read some other reviews, see if you like what you see. If so, definitely pull the trigger on Atomic Heart

Incredibly stimulating puzzle game. Very cerebral, multiple times I have SWORN that you couldn't have done a part without guessing but a move or two later I will catch what I should have done! For this price I can't recommend this enough for those that love Minesweeper, Soduku, those grids with the Xs or Os on various items.

Incredible

Amazing physics, and puzzles that make you think without being impossible. I highly recommend this, though newer VR users may have trouble with certain aspects or with the smooth locomotion or motion sickness.

9/10, amazing fun for a 30$ VR game.

Yes m80s. Get.

For me it was a waste of time. I waited around and clicked on everything AT LEAST 50 times. I couldnt progress the story at all. When i watched the walkthrough to see what I was missing, to see where I went wrong, I saw the game to the end and it made absolutely no sense. Still, you might understand it so try it out, though I would absolutely not be saying this if it wasn't free to play.

I believe that this is a really good fps for free-to-play, I would pay even 9.99 for this game. Red Crucible is bordering somewhere in between relaxed gameplay and an intense competition. But, the advantage of free-to-play comes with it's drawbacks. The graphics aren't amazing but you can still enjoy playing the game. I would reccomend this to anyone who likes to sit down and play an fps for fun.

This is a very good game (though small, but again it is only $$1.99). It's a puzzle game that has Portal vibes and uses gravity to your advantage. It challenges you to think and look around. I reccomend this to anyone who likes to think.

Very well-made game. it challenges the mind, while also having the creativity of portals. Very good balance of difficulty and fun. I would reccomend this game to anyone who likes to think.

A really good horror game. Not like those other ones where they just get a monster to follow you around and make a loud noise here and there. I really reccomend it.
