Atomic Heart Review - Is it Worthabuy? 

That says something lmao

Yeah. Fallen Order does great at looking like Star Wars. And even the writing and story feels decently like Star Wars (certainly magnitudes more than the Disney films which are glorified and terrible fan fiction writing). But it's gameplay is ripped pure from Sekiro (while making it easier). I love Sekiro's combat. And I liked FO overall. But it never really creates a combat system that is uniquely Jedi-like. It's Sekiro-lite with a Star Wars skin. And the problem with FO's success is we're probably increasingly unlikely to ever see a proper sequel to Jedi Outcast/Academy. Games that had an original combat system that really did feel specifically like Jedi combat as much as any game has ever accomplished.

I thought you are a sith?!?

You're not a jedi in falllen order, lol. Cal's master was killed when he was a little boy. Then we went into hiding. He was only a paddy and never a fully trained jedi.

Not related to this, but I’m putting it here so that you see it. Any chance you could review “The Pale Beyond” when it comes out later this week. Please and thank you

Yeah it brought memories of Prey and HL tbh. It's great being in a huge linear building infested with enemies grabbing loot, staying alive and crafting better weapons, we need way more of these games.

@@WorthABuyreviews One thing this game has an up on PREY is that there is more combat overall. Only criticism I had on Prey was that it lacked a bit of that. I wish they had sprinkled in more enemies and more ammo to compensate for it.

Which Prey?

@@tomigun5180 2017 I'm guessing

@@tomigun5180 Prey 2017 by Bethesda. One of the best games ever made. Enjoy.

Yeah shilling for Russian goverment who are doing a genocide in Ukraine, not a great move Mack, Unsubbing for a while.

@@worstcasescenario3689bye bye, do not let the door hit your face on the way out. Go virtue signal in your toilet, it will smell better. 🤪 (by the way orcs and elves do not exist). You need medication.

Definitely have to pick this up was on the fence about it but after your review it's a buy from me, quick side note are you doing a review of returnal mack pls

Didn't you have a go at Doom Eternal for the platforming?

You already know the real reason shill up is moaning is because of muh russia and wants to fit into the gang

Na, They were waiting for the war to break out so they could use the controversy to boost PR and sales....

Funny how PREY had a similar path as well.

It looks like a flawed gift to Prey fans. Considering the shit reception to that game, I'm surprised to see anything like this but I'm glad it exists.

It's not that good not worth the full price. Glad it's on gamepass

Some of the shill reviewers are solely concentrating on the negatives regarding this game, glitches etc. Their anti-Russian bias is staggering, not to mention racist! Fucking hypocrites who unironically gave the likes of God Of Bore Cuckcock and Horizon Diverity Forbidden 🚫 Gameplay straight tens. I love this channel. Up The North and Viva la Mack 😃

You have to be REALLY sure in your game, or stay away from this guy. ))

yeah will pirate it in a year when they patch everything

He was under an NDA lmao, they only gave him a key because they forced him to say positive things.

@@ThatZenoGuy Do you even know what NDA is? lmao indeed, Mack was forced? He'd say it literally in the first line, that devs were trying to bribe him with a key.

@@theverylastuser Cope

I mean he did thumb up CoD BO4 so I wouldn't believe everything he says.

Yeah muted praise and forgiving xray vision/no FOV slider means a lot more from mack than a 10/10 from gamespot or ign.

Take it with a grain of salt, he was given a key for it so the 8/10 is a bit generous. If he paid for this it would have been a 7 max.

@Axton J Cranston he still absolutely shits on games he receives keys for when they suck, watch more of his vids.

@@axtonjcranston1064 Glad you just joined the channel, but watch his other reviews, if the game is shit he will shred it, free key or not.

yesssirr

They rated it low because it's Russian

I've never heard of this channel but I watched this review, got the game, and he was right. I just subbed lol.

Big professional reviewers like IGN are paid/bribed by big companies. There are also bandwagoners like Angry Joe.

@@bdleo300 IGN rated it well....

A lot of reviewers called the dialogue bad but its just nostalgic OTT FPS action hero trash talk and it gives me huge Duke Nukem vibes

Writing is actually shit, no idea what you're hearing

^ Don't know what shit reviewers you follow, but every one I watch say Forspoken is cringe... and this game to a lesser extent

@@rePAULsion The only complaint I have so far is that the dialogue has the nonstop problem, bleeding into combat and even cutting itself off with different conversations. It’s all a lot to take in. I haven’t played the game myself ofc, but I will still give it a shot

@Orc Peon that's just simply not true lmao no one was saying Forspoken had good dialogue. Don't make shit up

There is no universe in which this game is an 8/10

@@Quazzi I agree, it looks janky af, 8 is a huge shout. I'll torrent it because there's literally not a single other single player FPS out there that's playable atm.

@@Quazzi I disagree

He was right, the game is what he said it is. Can't believe I never seen this channel before, I decided to see some other reviews since he was right about AH, and he's brutal!!!

FOV sliders must have been part of the sanctions lol

Got a bit nauseated just watching this video. I'm sure it is patchable though.

I have no idea, the dev made it run well, added proper jumping, good combat and then screwed up of the FOV

That is quite odd although am sure some modder will add it or maybe you can edit a .ini file or something. Interestingly I got that 34 inch oled Alienware ultrawide monitor the other day so am hoping there is ultrawide support. That should help out

Consoles.

rounchy?

@@ilqrd.6608 Typo.

Make sure to spread the word, Mack been shadowbanned here, so he needs the exposure

@@unstableordinance What nonsense. I've been here since 18k subscribers. He stagnated around 180k and 250k for a bit but he's at 300k now. His views just aren't very mainstream, that's why he's not gaining faster.

@@jesperburns You didnt check out his cyberpunk which was the fastest viewed video that he had removed the video from the search engine and google, also he keeps on getting unsuubscribed from subscribers, people keep on sending him messages and videos dont even show up in subscribers feeds (like mine for instance)

@@unstableordinance Yes, many people can't seem to remember instances when they've disagreed with a creator and out of some kneejerk reaction pressed unsubscribe. And yes, the algorithm works in mysterious ways. I'm subscribed to maybe a 100 channels and my feed is just constantly cycling through maybe 10 or 20 ish. Couple of weeks ago I've had tagelharpa videos suggested (with not even a thousand views) even though I follow no musician or band that uses it. The Cyberpunk fiasco is a good point though. But shadowbanned? Laughable.

@@jesperburns Jesper you are talking like you can see my analytics, you can't so with great respect you should shut up as you don't know wtf u are talking about. I flew up to 200k subs then loads of people started getting unsubscribed, videos started getting removed from feeds and when I look at the graph for this it all started in the summer of 2020 and the twitter mob tried to cancel me.

All of his tracks sound exactly the same

@@johndodo2062 you think Stranded sounds like The Instinct? Lol, okay.

Amen. So sad though that these words are true.

Yeah man it's not something you see these days unfortunately (Nora like characters)

Late appreciation of your comment of the day.

Old school gamers will probably like it. I remember Prey didn’t get good ratings by some but it was excellent.

Yep, It's not up to the modern narrative, not lecturing people about gender politics, made for people to enjoy.

I don't think it's a bad thing though. It's kinda refreshing to see positive/negative/mixed reviews like in good old days since that allows you to check different points of views of others, prons and cons, and make your own mind about the purchase. Usually every videogame website just makes "9/10 GOTA!" or "8/10 it's good I promise" verdict with similar looking reviews.

Most people just hate on this game because the devs are Russians...

For real. This is one of the few reviews that don't poop on the game for reasons that they'd otherwise praise if wasn't Atomic Heart.

It was very popular in Russia, so - very much possible. Yo way yo, home va ray.

Yeah Lexx was nice also the lead actress was hot and the Kai guy was interesting

you would be incredibly surprised at what Xev Bellringer is up to these days...

@@morrigen3 i just checked it out and there are pirn clips with a girl using that name... but she is not the same actress as in Lexx neither the first one that played her or the second

@@alinvid6098 r/wooosh

Same. To me, looks awesome, but the gameplay looks too childish. Too easy.

You might be able to go into ini files and change FOV

Hopefully they’ll patch that

UUU, open console, fov 110. Problem solvered.

@@Chambers36TheEnter Yeah in my book it's AAA, it's about price not the size of the budget

wee hoo an entire month you say? you must've had it really hard. Good on you, you get to play it soon!

This was the first thing I thought when seeing the first gameplay videos. 'This looks like a mix between Bioshock and Singularity'.

Prepare to be severely disappointed if you expect it to be anything like Bioshock

@@jakobfalk5045 I heard about it yesterday from an ad and now I'm pre-downloading it for tomorrow. umad?

Could of been worse, I waited for scorn for years!

Gutted with the fov. I could barely play through resident evil village because of the terrible fov.

Give it a week either devs will give us a slider or the players will find *ini file.

FitGirl repacking it this week I think, I'll grab it then.

Yeah it sucks that the thieves get the best version as always.

It works with Prey Dog's upcoming VR injector

The FOV is probably going to be an issue though

Git Gud ;)

@@WorthABuyreviews 😆👍 Fair enough!

Yeah it going to be a deal breaker for loads of people, it's essential info for a review.

maybe it wil have the fov just right for you, and you can refund in steam till 2 hours of play anyways

Most of the reviews I watched didn't say it's hard but tedious to engage especially in the open world where every alarms are annoying to deal with and skipping those are preferable since they will just waste your resources.

@@4000ThousandSmiley It's actually fun avoiding cameras in the open world but you have to use patience and your senses, especially sound. Also the open areas do the opposite of draining your resources, I often deliberately engaged the robots and let them get repaired to kill them again as you get valuable neuro loot that is used to enhance your abilities so you farm them.

Maybe some enemies can have an augmentation that makes them invisible to your x ray vision (not trash mobs), and some even more elite enemies can even jam your x ray vision so that it gets disabled completely for a time.

X Ray vision takes away the uncertainty when you're trying to stealth around, it might make it more accessible but there's part of risk reward thought process that is taken away. I don't think Mack would care as much if it wasn't used for the majority of games that use stealth.

Same... and now I'm playing it I'm even more worried. 7/10 absolute tops for me and that's ignoring a lot of stuff. I think Skillup's review is closer to how I'm feeling about the game.

shillup gonna shill

@@bobby_c07 skill up was alot more critical tho????????

I like to think many people died because I gave them no clues :)

Yes it's hilarious, dev has a sense of humour.

??

Im 43 and I totally know what your mean.

I'm the same age and I have no clue what you're talking about xD I still play overwatch and stuff and trounce the kids. It's all in the mind **taps forehead knowingly**

@@Kholaslittlespot1 So much is screwed up in my head, so that is absolutely a possibility. 🙃

I think it's #1 like you said. It's meant to be used when you can't figure it out any other way. Kinda like a "clue" button in old games for when you get stuck. You're not obligated to use it all the time, so only use it when it's needed.

@@Andy_Paris exactly and dont get me started with how many games nowadays the player character or the narrator or whoever helps with puzzles even when i didnt ask or it had been like 10 seconds. Hogwarts was also really bad for this but that could because it is aimed at a younger crowd i think but still a setting to turn hints on and off please

im native speaking russian dialougue fully bizare its max cringe

​@@alexmashine 🇷🇺

Yep, I like the setting and the style of the game, it's a refreshing take of the genre while still using the typical mechanics.

Morality of the companies funding / sketchy policies with giving user data to the Russian intelligence services I think unfortunately gameplay wise it seems a lot is unfinished due to entire development teams being underpaid and kicked, followed by a new team which has absolutely impacted on the game in a negative way. Gameplay is very shallow, has a lot of tedious aspects, is not close to finished play wise, has a plethora of bugs etc. The aesthetic style is nice but that's where it stops and I think with the head of the final team coming from a marketing background they may have been guiding the game to look good instead of being good to play. Considering the price tag for this game, it's not even close to worth it, maybe if you caught a sale for 75% off in a couple of years if they've actually fixed and finished it.

@@evulclown Yes, I did indeed run into a couple bugs main ones being Audio, text, and couple of game bugs such as getting stuck in world object or whatever. I personally enjoyed the combat, felt nice to get to a point where you felt almost god like. My dislike for the combat was, Stealth really isnt possible as you get detected too easily (imo) and certain weapons were just pointless or not needed (especially in boss fights). Turn up pull out the biggest gun and few dodges and clicks and boom boss dead (seemed disappointing). Overall tho, did enjoy the look and feel of the game universe, sometimes the voice acting really tore me outta the moment because of how bad they were and a fair amount of audio didnt sync correctly with cutscenes (kinda strange).

OH! after thought, The devs have been streaming out some updates to address nasty bugs or improve things like bad audio missteps and getting stuck on a map object.
