Better than Bioshock how ?

[Γαῖα]

Some people feel Atomic Heart is better than the famed Bioshock series so im fishing for peoples comments on the matter of how so.
Im equally as interested in people who think Bioshock still does it better and why.

UPDATE
Thank you everybody for sharing your thoughts, your replies on my question were quite insightful what with me personally seeing little in the way of bioshock similarities and like one poster mentioned, instead saw a mix of past favourite titles blended to what i feel good effect.
As a result of this couldnt myself make any comparison because i see them as quite different to each other.
Anyway i thank you all once again for helping me get clarity.

Who? I never saw such a take here or on youtube. It's better than infinite tho .. since infinite sucks for various reasons.

There is backtracking in bioshock, that alone already makes it a better game, not saying atomic heart is bad, but it has its issues

I like it more than Bioshock. Gunplay is leagues better, more upgrades and customization, big open areas to explore, awesome boss battles, more interesting puzzles, and just better overall in gameplay terms.

[Marcvs Antonivs]

This is literally the first time I even see someone making the comparison.

Back tracking makes things better?
♥♥♥♥, people taste changed in time I guess. It was one of the more hated things in the past.
I hated backtracking with passion, since the first 3D shooters.
Of course as always it is matter of implementation, but more often than not it did suck.

ppl often dont get everything in an area, so its nice to be able to go back and get said thing, you cant do that in atomic heart, the amount of ppl missing on the kalash is quite high lol

Artistic direction and gameplay aside, story-wise the game is miles away from the genius of BioShock (even with its most mediocre iteration, Infinite). To say that the setting and world-building is a huge waste of potential would be an understatement. Developers should have placed much more effort in the writing as they did with all other aspects. That alone, to me, will make this game forgettable.

I played System Shock 2 before Bioshock so I already knew the BAD GUY HELPING YOU ALL ALONG and OH ♥♥♥♥ THREE HACK POINTS.

Bioshock 2 was better because it did its own thing. Plus Minerva's Den was good.

I would say that at an artistic and mechanical level, but it is for generational reasons, it is unfair to compare games from 10 years ago.

the game really good , only the tutorial at the start is kinda old from before few years , after that everything is so much better , guess at that time they got some budget or funds to do the project , i played only bioshock infinite and i like it too ,

[Voroff]

Better ? Nah, less weapons, bosses, powers, ennemies - while treading in the tracks of said system/bio/shock and others like arx fatalis, gothic, deus ex that are beacons of "thing done mostly right". This is not a Stalker or Metro either. We are all dwarves perched on the shoulders of the giants of the past.

For a game from an unknow studio, it still is an honest work (insert "it ain' much, but ..." meme), on stable builds (like console) graphisms are gorgeous, and the setting is alien enought to be original/intresting/cool - and full of vistas, visuals, details.

Has a load of flaws, and slav jank. main chara being very vocal and obnoxious is ... the obvious, and then = nitpick as much as you want and need, as each have personnal preferences, tastes, and sensibilities. But at the end of the day : honest entry.
Dev team is what, 100 peeps ? AA territory then ?

Well at least combat and story-wise I think Bioshock still nails it.
Other than that Atomic Heart is better.
Open world, art style, animation, melee combat, enemy design, setting, graphics....etc

[BlackSunEmpire]

The art and enemy design is better, in my mind.
The bossfights are also more well crafted.

On the other side, the dialogue is more cringe in Atomic Heart and its also not as polished, because it doesnt have the same amount of funding, gazprom money or not.

Gunplay is more modern. Great sound and impact. It just feels better. Maybe if Bioshock was developed today, it could be better.
