It also noted Atomic Heart does little to endear itself to players, and that its storyline fails to do justice to a ‘cool premise’: GameSpot praised the game’s combat and soundtrack, but cited major disparities in its moving parts. ![]() ![]() ‘To put it the only way I feel I can, Atomic Heart is unadulterated, pulp schlock.’ GameSpot – 6/10 It’s got a self-referential, almost self-deprecating sense of humour that surprised me to no end and its nods to the games it so badly wanted to be – see any BioShock game – were so on the nose,’ reviewer Brodie Gibbons wrote. ‘ Atomic Heart is all at once the strangest, most off-the-wall, most bombastic game I think I’ll play this year. Our pals at Press Start Australia had a similar experience, but found the game’s performance, and its uneven narrative, held it back from greatness: ![]() ‘It certainly makes missteps, chiefly with an irritating leading man and a self-indulgent habit of using the same tired tropes it tries to make fun of, but this stern, super-powered, and stringently solo shooter has worked its way under my skin despite these flaws.’ Press Start Australia – 6.5/10 ‘ Atomic Heart is a deeply ambitious, highly imaginative, and consistently impressive atompunk-inspired attempt at picking up where the likes of BioShock left off – something it’s done with a lot of success,’ reviewer Luke Reilly wrote.
