Atomic Heart – Before You Buy

1. This game reminds me of a mix of fallout and bio shock

2. Soviussy

3. I've heard a lot of criticisms about the aesthetic, mostly "It doesn't feel like the Soviet Union" from people who have lived in Russia themselves. On one hand I can understand that, but on the other, it was never gonna be a game about historical accuracy to begin with. The claim was never levied against Bioshock or Prey, but this really seems to be the same kinda instance of what they were going for. The gameplay I figured wouldn't be anything genre breaking or defining, though it is a shame to hear that the main character doesn't have much of a personality to work with. I wonder if the Russian dialogue option has a more grounded approach for the protag.

4. I spent a few thousand on a beeeeefy computer to play games at max settings with Ray Tracing enabled. I was super excited about this game because it was supposed to be a RT power house. Learned that it does not in fact have Ray Tracing enabled and thus I wont buy this game. What were all those Ray Tracing trailers and showcases for if the game literally doesnt have Ray Tracing?!

5. Here is a really good reason for NOT buying this game or renting it:

   The guy that owns the company that made this game pays taxes in Russia which is fattening up Putin's wallet.

   Don't fund the war in Ukraine by buying or renting this game.

6. If you play through some flaws you’ll enjoy something that’s just different. Sounds like how the Callisto reviews should of sounded.

7. It's looking amazing. I'm not too concerned with "perfect" gameplay. My favorite game is Half Life 2, and I'm not going to pretend that that feels modern. When the world, detail and story is beautiful art, then you can adapt to gameplay as long as the gameplay isn't broken, which this doesn't seem to be. I do hope some patches will address melee, but hey, that's fine. For me, a game can be an objective 7 out of 10 when categorized and still be the best game I've ever played. (Not saying this will be, but again, it's about the sum of the parts for me).

8. cyberpunk, bioshock feels, damn cool

9. Looks very much BioShock sort of I guess.
   Update after installation was a pain though.

10. if this is the kinda game that mandaloregaming or minimme makes a video about years from now i'm all for it

11. I enjoy your videos, but I have to say these dev go through a lot to make a game and have you shit on it, nothing is ever going to be perfect, why not just say thank you.

12. few hours in and I love it so far

13. The combat sytem is perfect and the storyline is worth playing for

14. Game is awesome

15. the attention to detail in this game looks god tier

16. Greetings from Ukraine. Dont forget that mundfish pays taxes to russian budget, and russia continues war in Ukraine right now, so buying game is a good way to do some harm to Ukranians. Thank you for your job

17. Your Description of the game made it sound like a spin on a fallout game compared to a Wolfenstein. in the way it looks reminds me of like a fallout especially with the artificial intelligence and just everything. All I've seen so far makes me think of like a Bioshock fallout in Wolfenstein got together and made a baby

18. I found denuvo impacted the performance considerably, don't buy unless you have a DLSS capable card.

19. as someone who thoroughly enjoyed games liked fallout 4 and mass effect Andromeda despite the criticisms I think I might like this one

20. I'm a sucker for Soviet era style games. There is no way, and no review, that will deter me from playing this. I'll wait until 1st adopters have taken the hit for me and the patches have started to flow to fix any problems that have cropped up.

21. Thanks Jake, as always this is the better review online.

22. Saying it's more like wolfenstein in its alternate reality over bioshock… bioshock is that.

23. If you have gamepass it just takes a simple download

24. I’m interested in the game but with the price on consoles and all the small things I’m hearing that are annoying in the game I think I’ll wait hope for a sale

25. Half way thru the video “ first off the glove loots automatically” organize ur script before filming those videos, u do this for a living

26. By buying this game, you sponsor russian terrorism

27. I agree about the protagonists English va and dialogue being cringy, but in russian it's more like… memey? Idk what the right word for it is but it comes off as more sassy and clever in russian than annoying. Sure he's still crude and talks a lot but the russian dialogue is a lot funnier and less cringy

28. Game sucked….uninstalled
