The lights and colors is what makes most of the atmosphere
So far all released DLCs to Atomic Heart were nothing but disappointment. The Annihilation Instinct DLC continues the main story, but out of 2 possible endings of main story developers chose to continue the wrong one. Developers apparently mentioned that this is not canonical ending. Probably will leave normal ending for the Atomic Heart 2, as it affects world in a much more profound way. What this DLC is essentially a new location, a couple of new weapons, new glove ability, 2 more enemies and one new boss. Doesn't feel like it's part of the game, looks more like they reassembled leftovers that were cut from main game and bundled them together. Trapped in Limbo DLC is just the worst. It includes more of platforming in Limbo area with grotesque visuals and no point being there. It's more of the least interesting part of the main game. It's not moving story forward, there are no interesting mechanics. When I played the game all I wanted is to complete this part and return to the normal game. It has low rating in Steam and players describe it as "2 hours of nonsense garbage". Today Mundfish teased the 3rd DLC that will seem to be set in Neptune underwater station that was already revealed at some point in the main game. Hope it'll be less of a nonsense and more of a Soviet science complex areas, robots and monsters. Apparently you'll spend some time underwater and even meet some sea creatures. Third time's a charm?
Atomic Heart review by WalkinDude
Amazing track and one of the most memorable action sequences of the game
Trying all abilities the game has to offer during my second playthrough. Turns out, mass telekinesis is the ultimate ability that makes mass battles a piece of cake. No shortage of ammo whatsoever because you only shoot at stronger enemies and bosses.
Ballet seems like a running theme in the game. Russian ballerinas are indeed the best ❤️
That's exactly how I imagine robots would look like if they were made in USSR
Atompunk in alternative history Soviet Union? Yes, please!
So Assassin's Creed Shadows is released. I was surprised how well it runs on RTX 2080 Super, was expecting low FPS and potato graphics. Even with most settings on medium it looks well and produces 60 FPS. Cut scenes run with 30 FPS which was the case since AC Odyssey at least.
