So in Atomic Heart you play as a sarcastic asshole who is constantly spouting off Duke Nukem style action hero one-liners while bantering back and forth with his talking glove that let's him telekinetically move objects and use elemental powers?
Bruh, this shit is just Forspoken for Men™
With that said. I honestly don't mind P3's personality or the one-liners that much. I actually like P3 and he gives off those 80s/90s action hero vibes well, it doesn't feel nearly as Marvel-y or Netflix teen drama as Forspoken and he's pretty entertaining and funny at times, but holy shit the bantering and dialogue is just NON-STOP and it is TOO much at times to where it just becomes annoying.
I was honestly relatively excited for this game, but after about 9 hours of playing the game it just feels like a boring slog to me and I don't want to suffer through it anymore. My time is too valuable to waste playing things I'm just not having fun with at this point in my life.
The combat itself is very Eurojank (And not in a good way), the enemies are overly bulletspongey and the story just isn't interesting to me. The world is pretty weird and unique, I'll give it that, but when enemies constantly re-spawn thanks to the awful detection and alert system, it never gives you any time to truly appreciate or explore your surroundings and the game would've been so much better if it was completely linear and didn't have a tacked on open world. The game has potential, but you can certainly tell it was the first game made by this developer because Atomic Heart is a game with an identity crisis, it doesn't know whether it wants to be a Bioshick style immersive sim or a DOOM style shooter and so many gameplay and design choices are just so weird and contradict others so it just isn't that fun to play for me and at the end of the day all I want from a game is something that is fun.
Atomic Heart is a game I wanted to like and a game I wish I liked, but I just don't and I don't care enough to keep trying. You're better off just playing Prey (2017), Bioshock or DOOM Eternal.
