My review after playing on Game Pass

[Game Cooker US Rocks VR]

Buy it. What are you waiting for? It is a refreshing entry in the gaming library that reminds me of the Bioshock and Outer World type games. It has lots of varied robots too and interesting bosses and characters.
The setting was immersive and interesting setting. I hate communism but as a game Atomic Heart is entertaining.
The devs attention to detail in many things made it better also.

Clair and friend was cool. The twins are sexy and scary. No spoilers on that. Story and characters are all fine.

The game plays well on many tier of GPUs. I know I tried quite a few.

My rating is a solid 9/10. 👍
Enjoy. We need more games that are silly and serious at the same time.

It did write a much longer review but I closed the page by accident and lost it all. I'm too lazy to right it all again.

Good game, I agree. Though right now I don't see a reason to buy it because of game pass precisely.

I disagree. Atomic Heart is decent game and I had fun playing it but it is perfect case for using Game Pass.
I tend to buy games I played and enjoyed on Game Pass on Steam later when they get some discount but Atomic Heart wont be one of them. It has way too many rough edges and there is very little reason to play it again. There are long stretches of game where nothing interesting is happening and you just traverse vast land mass from point A to point B.

You recommend people buy it after you played it for basically free on gamepass? Is this a joke? Atomic Hearts is only worth consuming for free, in fact, it's the perfect kind of game for gamepass, thoroughly mediocre with just enough style as to not come off as some cheap indie game.

[Frantz Ziger Van Forsberg]

Definitely worth a buy, I bought three copies so far for myself and two of my friends.

To me game is solid 9/10 and I played for about 30 hours, it has issues with combat here and there, difficulty should be increased on Armageddon(mods fixed that to me) but other than that I really enjoyed it.

For anybody who is able to speak russian, this game is damn good.
It's a real pity that English translation to put it bluntly is utter ♥♥♥♥, particularly English dub.
For me a Russian-Ukranian, this game was a nostalgia ride and reminded me a lot of childhood.

[Balanse]

Crispy critters the game was about 6/10, ♥♥♥♥ on a shingle.

[VastGirth]

Personally i would give it 8.5 out of 10. Its very very good, but its a but buggy and the open world bits are not as strong as the on rails sections.

Its still my favourite game i have played for ages though, despite the rough edges.

Yes, it's Developers own fault for putting it on Gamepass. Can't say how much they screw themselves and Focus Entertainment with this move, but probably massively, cause the game turned out to be really really good.
Hopefully they will make some really good DLCs to make up for some loses, cause you won't get DLC for free on Gamepass, got to buy them.

I suspect they were worried about the war impacting sales and took the safer option of the big wodge of gamepass cash.

Your reasoning is flawed. So if I have Game Pass and get games I like to play on there I should go out and buy the same game somewhere else? Even if I am already paying a monthly sub already to get access to games? What? lol You can look at my library. It is public. Do I have many or any $1 games on there? You seem to like to insult people who make good fiscal decisions.

No bugs on my end that I noticed except when changing resolutions and adding FSR or DLSS. But that is easily mitigated by changing resolutions again.
I am the opposite of you. I did not like the puzzles and platforming. I like more open exploration options in games. But this game is done well enough that I am tolerant of the genre game play choices they made. Overall, it has grown on me and I am enjoying it a lot.

People are buying it when they use Game Pass. Microsoft does not get it for free when putting it on Game Pass. It might be heavily discounted when splicing it among all the player base but the developers still get guaranteed money. Microsoft is not paying pennies to put games on Game Pass.
And just like selling a game on Steam you basically get free marketing exposure when it is on Game Pass. The DLC is not free. If you like the game and want the DLC content you have to pay for it. Millions of people get to see your game for sale. And get to see reviews for the game.
It is a smart move. And when the game gets older and the price comes down the guaranteed money offsets the lower price later.
Atomic Heart will be a game that people will play and want to buy for many years to come. It is not a game that will fade away. The exposure it is getting now is worth the profit they might be losing if they are really losing anything. It seems they are happy.

Theres nothting major bug wise. The worst one i had was falling through the floor into enternal nothingness and having to reload. That the vsync bug are the only ones that have really affected me.

Atomic Heart is a very good 8.5/10,
*The setting is incredible, screwed but spectacular battles, good mechanics and a story that I feel needs more development.
Hopefully there will be a DLC.

I recommend it, it's worth it!

Open your tiny eyes and use your tiny chimp brain. Private profiles are always level 0. The fact that your profile is private and you didn't know this fact tells me you have literally zero brain cells.

How is this person even typing? :D

I'm glad I bought it. I'm taking my time, enjoying the visuals, and a bit of farming to not let my ray gun run out of juice too quickly. I do weird things like staying in the goo listening to the voices and talking to every dead person I can. I do hope ray tracing comes out soon to see where the reflections are at. If I were to grade it, I'd also give it an 8.1 or 9/10. The devs did a lot of homework with Soviet atomic era design, and it's sad most people don't mind stopping a bit to appreciate it all.
