This game is seriously good and very ambitious for their first game for the studio. I've been having a blast with Atomic Heart & it will definitely go down as one of my favorite games this year. Not without its faults of course but everything still comes together to make such an interestingly fun game experience with hilarious dialogue plus Robot Waifus 10/10 😂

[@BigGleemRecords]

I love the bioshock fallout future Soviet Union aesthetic design. The graphics are impressive. The landscape world is great. Puzzles are difficult. Flow is fast pace. I’m playing on easy to save time and I’d give it a 9.5 reminds me of deathloop +- some ideas

[@VI_Yai_iV]

WOW THIS IS THEIR 1st game??! That’s amazing not going to lie

[@jamiematthews1216]

It's a beautiful game and I really enjoy it just could have been better than it is

[@jamessams9495]

Asides from getting physically stuck a few locations due to bugs and having to reset the game .. overall it’s an incredible game . Like bioshock, fallout and far cry had a love child . Seriously awesome world , one of the coolest

[@karmapolice1337]

seriously such a great game, also what a refresher to have a game come out that pretty much complete with barely any bugs, forgot what that's like lol

[@bushhh3143]

Barely any bugs is a stretch - throughout my playthrough (I'm not even close to done) I've experienced quite a few bugs that have made me restart big chunks of the game

[@HuskySansVergogne]

Yeah tell that to the stupid elevators not working at all or the character passing through them and then getting stuck. I also had to restart the game once, and several times reload an older save.

[@hodeyfu7617]

Plus you have to be at exact distance to pick something up. Plus on Xbox I had to use a second controller to use the cursor. And the teeny tiny text

[@johndodo2062]

​@@bushhh3143 I've had one big in twenty hours. Dead space remake crashed on me 7 times and soft locked at least 4 times

[@johndodo2062]

​@@hodeyfu7617 no you don't

[@epgamer1145]

The only thing I found that was a bit of an annoyance is in several occasions, my character and char-las (glove) would be discussing recent events and trying to piece the story together and find the motives of why everything is happening how it is. Unfortunately a lot of times where they have these conversations is in upgrade/save rooms where the player like myself is instantly going to upgrade my weapon before I hear the start of a conversation. As soon as that conversation is interrupted by entering a menu, getting attacked, etc. the conversation won’t resume where they left off. You lose out on possible interesting story information You can easily figure out and piece everything together as you play through the events so it doesn’t matter too much. The characters reach a reasonable conclusion well after you do. Just something they may want to touch up on in a following patch. It very much is a minor over sight that even I would have missed.

[@max.t.channel]

This is why I don't trust most early reviewers. They want to be the first to post a video and just rush through a game missing a lot of game-changing details and then posting negative reviews while missing a clue. I've seen complains about hard open areas, inability to explore freely, being constantly under attack, simply because they did not know how to blow up wind turbines. Anyway great video! useful stuff! and I love the game. it really is more complex and interesting than it seems at a glance.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Agreed on most of that. There was enough time however in this review window to do due diligence as we did in our review, so there isnt really an excuse for others this time around.

[@epgamer1145]

That’s why you don’t look at a games critic reviews. The guys are very bias especially when there’s a certain kind of people that get to make the game relate to irl politics. Which is funny because the character in the game indirectly makes fun of those people in a few occasions. The devs and the studio is absolutely based. They don’t care about that kind of crap while also handing out lighting fast patch updates for any bugs and small polishing for the game. They are showing some pro community management.

[@TheDragonfriday]

wow I didn't know the combat go this deep glad to know the enemies are not bullet sponge they actually give every weapon use

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Yep, there are a lot of misleading reviews and comments out there about this game.

[@johndodo2062]

​@Legacy Gaming that's only because Russian people made it. These tolerant and virtuous reviewers are being xenophobic, they just aren't admiring it in the reviews themselves Brevard they know everyone is sick of it

[@mgiebus1869]

This games actually pretty good. The animation is like nothing I've ever seen. Wonder why it's not getting the credit it deserves. Maybe in a decade people will appreciate it

[@remedy731]

The electro gun with level 3 EMP mod is a beast. You can easily mop the floor with those annoying/creepy mustache Robots especially if you combo it with a telekinesis slam attack

[@KevinLopez-hp8ph]

Thats what im saying, EMP blast and telekinesis carried me through most of the early game

[@KevinLopez-hp8ph]

Just max out the gravity skill on your glove and ZVEZDOCHKA and youre good. Use the ability that throws the saw and keep them in the air as long as possible, if you upgrade your character stats so you regen energy everytime you lift an enemy AND every time you melee attack, the setup is unstoppable. Beat every boss in the hardest difficulty first try with the setup :P

[@ParanoidBishop]

Just got this for a quid on Game Pass, blown away. A beautiful world, love the Bioshock/Stalker elements. I detected a bit of Russophobia in some prominent YT reviews. Not been wowed by a game for a while, this hits the spot. Thanks for the tips and guide.

[@BigPaPaRu]

This game a so good and becomes incredibly addictive once you understand all the mechanics. Some of these reviews I've seen are straight BS. Just finished CP2077 and this game is much more fun IMO. Has that one more minute feel that turn into three hours.

[@Lol_Pig]

That last sentence hits hard!! Lol I agree its more fun than CP77 also 👍

[@epgamer1145]

So to open the weapon wheel for equipping the canister is by holding (square) You can also pick up small items in the environments like boxes, chairs, etc. What the game doesn’t tell you is if you hit the same button while holding an object (R1) on console. You can launch the object forward. Helps with distracting those cameras that call in robots and gives a small stun effect to smaller enemies. Best combo for glove abilities has to be the frost bite + telekinesis Freeze enemies in front of you. Fully frozen they will take double the damage. Follow that up with the telekinesis slam, and then you can instantly shatter a group of robots with ease.

[@Frankzoar]

I often never receive resources when they shatter. Makes freezing them not worth it.

[@DidackDidack]

@@Frankzoar i think there is an update for the glove that gives you loot when they die while they are frozen. I hope this helps you. 😊

[@xero1152]

There actually is a tutorial for launching held items it’s very bad and doesn’t work though ( I’m on console ) The tutorial says “ to hold a item look at it and hold r1 then release and to throw the item hold r1 and release “ 😑

[@BeersYourFriend]

I'm having a total blast in this game! Just the Bioshock-itch I've been scratching for, for a long time now. Great Tips & Tricks Guide! Cheers! 🍻

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ermagherd1204]

I’m halfway through the game & barely fired a bullet so far. Shock, mass telekinesis, polymer & a good updated melee that can also shoot out blades

[@TheAgentAssassin]

The shield maxed is basically god mode.

[@TheYuleTube]

A tip I found on an better way to fight the Plyush (Ivy). You don't have to shoot it, can could probably even kill it without a weapon at all. Polymeric shield, properly upgraded, reflects double melee damage back to the attacker. Time it right, and it literally beats it's self to death. Melee it too, and it's done sooner.

[@TheAgentAssassin]

Yeah max shield is OP with melee weapon. You don't even need health packs. I beat him on Armageddon difficulty easy. Also the secondary attack from the saw blade melee weapon is very good against him. Once you get the energy pistol secondary alt fire mode you can suck energy from enemies and recharge your energy bar. Basically this attack kills every single enemy in the game with ease.

[@stevenbob544]

I've just started to play the game and I think it's really good remind me at the old games where you had to find a safe point

[@johndodo2062]

The reviews are all over the mayo because critics are political first and foremost. If this exact game was made in Ukraine, it would be at a 90+ guaranteed

[@houman2009]

I would never support any Ukraine game lol and rate them super low for this very bias and opinion they have on this amazing master piece atomic heart🎉

[@mr.ptolemy8947]

"All over the Mayo" is officially now an expression I will use forever.

[@blainegoodwin6365]

Or Israel

[@chrisb.9083]

Well that chernoble game coming out is from Ukraine devs. So we will see

[@c.p.s.rcentraltelevision7085]

The reason it’s political is because game is connected to kremlin and Russian government. If you pay for it, at some point, the money will get to Russian government.

[@matthewgonano636]

Man this game is cool ASF. The atmosphere is great!

[@completelytransparent6320]

"Brilliant display of ice and metal" i thought that was another bug cuz they just seem to dissapear when frozen and shattered. And it looks like it's happening in your clips too

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Yeah I was trying to shift through the footage to find the ones that didnt bug out but I gave up lol

[@Lol_Pig]

5 hrs in and I've gotta say, they got so many things right! Kinda takes me back to the Half-Life days. Much better than many recent AAA games, in my humble random internet person opinion.

[@abanks9591]

Hell yeah, loved Half-Life

[@TheMiojox]

I wish I knew sooner that in 10 hours I'd be finishing the game.

​@@epgamer1145I concur

[@adamgwilliam1685]

I have a tip you missed. don't dismantle the shotgun. so I was playing the bunker/lab section at the start of the game. got my MP pistol, energy pistol but couldn't make the second melee weapon. so I dismantled my shotgun and axe to see if I could make it. I could and still had resources left so I checked what I needed to rebuild my shotgun only to find I didn't have the blueprint for it. I'm assuming it's the same for the MP pistol you find in the same location (on the floor next to the sitting dead body in the room after you crawl through the first vent) so yeah don't dismantle guns you don't have blueprints for cos if you do there gone

[@benpainter8076]

I ditched the melee weapon completely and got the Fat boy. Loaded my inventory with lots of grenades for it and lots of health before any boss battle. Made things so much easier

[@Beavis1190]

Great video! I've only just started the game and haven't seen any guns or abilities so i really appreciate this 😊

[@wowbobwow37]

Thanks for the tips. I knew many like cartridge slot, but now I know for sure holding on and showing some initial love to the Electro will reap much more stuff down the road.

[@Harbinger28567]

Thank you for the tips. I didn't know what to do at the testing grounds. And I gotta say that this game turned out really well. For the studios first game, it is very good and a lot of fun to play.

[@mrsalty1019]

For Natasha you can also just throw her tracking grenades at her and use 0 ammo.

[@dage509]

This game is amazing man. I love the combat. I seen way too many people not like this game, and I’m confused how. This reminds me of a fallout game where u don’t have the many resources and gotta be smart how u play. I love how challenging this game is.

[@afrosrb7828]

Exactly. Too many people are just brainless nowadays. Everything needs to be easy and handled out on a tablet to them

[@mr.beefythecarnivore6415]

Absolutely one of the best games to come out in the last 5 years. It's definitely reminiscent of bioshock, but enough of it's own heart and soul put into the game to stand out and hold its own. I fucking love it.

[@koutouloufas7]

it pays tribute to bioshock during the scene where you meet the female scientist, P3 alks about rupture. Also at some point i think it references system shock and at some point there is music from another game. The devs did a great job of referencing the games they loved.

[@michaelsantangelo1875]

Also wanted to say your not limited to just one side of a tree. You can get all upgrades for any particular polymer glove ability and have them do some crazy stuff like how the ice jet can be upgraded to earn you EXTRA resources if you kill enemies that are frozen. Not sure if it works for gun cartages yet but I'll be testing

[@henrymonroy9533]

TYVM for that insight on the electro handgun

[@johnsnow9887]

That game is by far the best game of the decade... So much fun just observing

[@fabrice9848]

Just to let you no there is always 4 chests in the dungeons bronze silver gold and normal yellow, brilliant game

Great guide. Thank you. Subscribed. I’ve visited my first testing ground and as far as I know I’ve emptied it of goodies completely… yet the yellow area and question mark are still on the map. Do they always stay on the map even if you found every item inside the area?

[@ridleythebloodthirsty8958]

I didn’t exactly start fully using the canisters until new game plus

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

Another tip is to slice up any corpse you see to prevent the plant thingies from making zombies out of the corpses... Might save yourself some frustration

[@BensCoffeeRants]

I was thinking that and doing that just in case :D

[@et4206]

if you ever see an owl with a create ,shoot it down. the creates can have great loot

[@et4206]

@epgamer im not far into the game atall so im not sure but there are (alot that respawn a few times) in a place called the seed bank? just after the place with the otta control forklifts. they fly up at the celling of the biggest room in that section. i wish i could be specific of the areas name sorry haha

[@Icien1]

I thought upgrading storage early on was a good idea, untill i learned that items just go to your vendor storage if your full. Its not really worth it.

Good intro cuz thats facts. Nothing is worse than killing killer robots

[@markszymanski5329]

When do you get to go outside? I feel like I've been playing this game for a long time and still unable to use the map. Hopefully soon. I am loving the game though. The only issue I'm having is I can never find enough metal parts. Maybe I need to deconstruct some things I'm not using.

Spoilers: Me who walked through the entire bridge section using nothing but freeze, and zveizdachka (the saw blade weapon. Max telekinetic upgrade).That think MELTS the goop bous and just about everything really. Man it felt good. Even more so in the hospital where Tрава у Дома was playing. Sidenote: The emp on the electro pistol is also godly once fully upgraded. It's what I used. Great for stun, great for combo, great for dealing with small enemies

I gotta rate this game a good 8/10 because I get caught in corners or I will dodge and still get hit. The main reason for the rating is that its the closest thing to Bioshock we have thats been newly developed.

[@93voteforpedro]

Some tips i found useful: If you zap the jet goo and step on top of it. You can use your shield to charge energy back if you're low as the electricity counts as incoming damage. Also the snowball mace has a charge ability that functions as a sprint allowing you to escape enemies quickly.

[@MrGentlly]

Bioshock with an extremely convoluted story essentially. Fun game but I’m glad I waited for it to hit game pass

[@andrewfontaine4833]

things i wish i knew sooner.. that there was a glitch to where you can’t pick up neruomodules and now i can’t get any of the cool upgrades

[@superkamiguru3449]

Me too it looks like it’s effecting gamepass players. I feel like my skills and some special melee attacks don’t work right either, I have shok maxed out and all it does is zap 2 enemies and u can barely see it lol

How do you use the cartridges? I've tried putting them on a weapon but I can't. I don't recall seeing anything about using them and I'm pretty far into the game I think.

They are a hot wheel assigned modification, but you need to level the gun and have its upgrade to use cartridges.

I’m enjoying this game I played the demo the started the game again and got on so much better than I was just continuing on from the demo

[@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim]

what does this game compare to ?

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Wolfenstein + Bioshock Infinite.

[@epgamer1145]

That and dying light. It has a fair bit of parkour mechanics with very similar animations.

[@androlimanovski7043]

Very good facts and advice. If someone wants Bioshock more than a souls game, I recommend downloading the mod AtoMilkDrinker. I think that the second playthrough of the game as it was designed will be more enjoyable

My ONLY critique about this game, no multiplayer ;) the movement & weaponry/abilities would make a pretty solid piece.

[@sicdedworm09]

I am LOVING this game BUT my game bugged and the HAWK is no longer working after bringing it down. I can’t get into the testing facilities because the cameras are down. Funny thing I’m not even really mad I have to start over. Reviewers saying the enemies are spongy literally aren’t even trying lol. I’m playing on hard and like you said, everything has a counter. I think the enemy health has been perfect.

I played for two hours in an open world segment yesterday, exploring and looting the whole area, fighting most of the enemies, and yet I only got one heal the entire time. Then I watch someone else playing the game, and they have like ten, and it just baffles me.

[@HvacHeathen]

You only get given one when your kill the bots in black from what I have noticed. You have to craft then yourself to get a bunch, the game only gives you one here and there. They are really cheap to craft, but you should be crafting as many as you can every time you see Nora for awhile

[@DavidVenters]

good video and yes i in every game look for what devs have given us in game to beat game , its a positive about my autism its like elden ring u dont need to go over the map like millions do and i think thats part prob lots clickbait channels a game will always give away to beat enemies ie a prisoner can take down a mounted kaiden spellsword with four charged glintb ades
