if youre buying it for the designs of the enemies and environments, ignore this. if not, i do not think this is the game for you.
its a beautiful game with a very interesting world to look around and unique and creative enemy designs. from an art perspective, it's a personal favorite of mine, at least in recent memory.
but, aside from a stellar ost, thats all i can praise of it sadly- the gameplay is passable, melee is fun but it nor the gunplay is super in-depth. movement's whatever, abilities are whatever, but GOD the story. i was not surprised the art director is the co-founder of mundfish because art is definitely this game's legs, and story is the unwiped chocolate starfish of this sexbait ballerina. anything interesting it does is wiped out by a horrendous ending. i avoided voiceover problems by playing with rus va and eng subs, but subtitles can bug out sometimes and stop appearing, which is obnoxious. ive been excited for this game since it was first teased, and everything i wanted from atomic heart is there, but a so-so gameplay experience and a crapshoot of a story weigh down the visuals far too much for me to ignore.
