Excluded is the one month of IGN+ or whatever. This one actually seems kinda decent, if not for the fact I have no interest in the System Shock remake.

    I wanted to like Atomic Heart because it’s my favorite genre/style (cyberpunk/immersive sim). But ironically, it felt like it has no heart. I was so bored by the gameplay, the writing, and the characters. Actually, the MC and his assistant are actively annoying. It looks really good, but it’s just not compelling.

      Oh, I’ve also played the System Shock remake. It’s pretty good in both story and game elements, but it is missing some modern refinements that make games more accessible. So just expect that if you play it, you might have to take some notes about objectives and codes that a modern game would just remember for you. I don’t think it’s a detriment, and you may end up enjoying the more obtuse nature.

      And then maybe you too can take a long break from the game and come back to think, “What the hell was I doing?”

      The vibe and the music are 10/10, the story and gameplay 4/10.

      Still enjoying it, but not nearly as good as a lot of rpg classics

      Agreed, the story and characters really make no sense. I still found the game interesting enough to play it to the end, and it was ok. It was really the setting that kept me going, though.

      PSA, the Trapped in Limbo DLC is hot garbage and should be avoided, it will instantly ruin any good memory you had of the game.
