Episode Summary:
Atomic Heart: A Deep Dive into the Story and Combat
summary placeholder The hosts discuss their impressions and hopes for the game, Atomic Heart, before delving into its convoluted story. They find the story hard to follow, with confusing dialogues and a lack of Russian accents despite the setting. They also discuss playing as Agent P3, who is seen as unlikable and mean to the sentient glove Charles. The combat involves melee and range weapons, as well as abilities provided by Charles, resembling Bioshock.
Combat and Loadouts
The reviewers discuss their experiences with combat in the game, including their preferred loadouts and abilities. They mention the scarcity of ammo in the beginning, leading to a focus on melee combat, and the abundance of ammo later on. Each reviewer had a different approach, with one focusing on melee, another on firearms, and another on a combination of both. They also talk about the effectiveness of different weapons and upgrades, with some weapons being disappointing and others being more powerful. The importance of upgrades and the impact they have on gameplay is highlighted.
The Open World and Boss Fights in Atomic Heart
The open world in Atomic Heart is large, but lacks meaningful content and feels like a missed opportunity. The driving mechanics are clunky and the lack of fast travel makes exploration tedious. The boss fights, on the other hand, are fantastic, with a sense of scale, chaos, and variety. However, some boss fights include instant death QuickTime events, which are unforgivable in a first-person shooter. The progression in difficulty of enemies adds a satisfying sense of progression in the game.
