The open world feels AWFUL

It's like you're just running around and looking for the bunker entrance on some AI generated map. That's it. The open world is just the thing between bunker A and bunker B. There's no quests or NPCs whatsoever.

So why even bother to make it an open world if you're not even gonna put anything there for the players to explore? I really dont get those devs. A linear game could be perfectly fine. In fact Bioshock, the very game which inspired Atomic Heart was linear, and it still feels 200% better than this half finished game.

Damn disappointing to hear this. Bioshock was kind of half-baked open world in that it had open/large areas...but I guess system shock did too. Haven't played it yet so I'll have to form my own opinion, but I hate having open world stuff added without any real reason for doing so besides padding the game. I like the idea of open world gameplay but the execution is never actually that fun.

There is no open world. Just open levels to get from bunker to bunker. I think you're misinterpreting what the game is trying to do

you're confusing open levels ala doom, dead space, etc.. with open world.

Open world means it has access to many other areas and missions within the same map. Aka a huge cluster of many things together.

This game is free roaming to a degree. But it was never open world.

Unfortunately the tags say otherwise. That's the problem with user applied tags. They often don't mean ♥♥♥♥.

i agree, even tho it is open world/level, doesnt feel like its worth it to deviate from the linear path, the game set you on. no side missions ive seen either, unless someone knows where i can find some lol.

As Gewisser said above, it's trying to be Bioshock not Far Cry. You're asking the game to be something it's not even trying to be.
