Great visuals, art design and lights. Design of every interior is gorgeous, the game was clearly inspired by Prey and Bioshock.
Open world part is way less impressive, and infinitely respawning enemies making it even worse.
I beat Atomic Heart two times. During the first playthrough I was only follow the story and most of the abilities. After that I was thinking the game worth 7/10.
Decided to see the second ending and went for the second walkthrough, entering every testing ground and immediately felt similarity with Portal games, where you need to solve physics puzzles inside testing chambers. After visiting dozen of testing chambers it seemed like in the first playthrough I missed at least half of the game.
Also unlocked all abilities and some of them make game way easier compared to me just shooting everything at first.
What's good:
- Story and (some) characters
- Visuals
- Interior designs
- Puzzles
What's not good:
- Some puzzles are annoying
- Worst implementation of snake game in history
- Infinitely respawning enemies
