I honest to god don't understand why everyone is saying this game is so meh. I came in with extremely low expectations, and while the game is definitely a buggy pile of shit, its seriously a good time, and if nothing else different. Atomic Heart is pretty much a sim shooter split into equal parts wolfenstein, prey and bioshock, and I absolutely adored it. The open world is dogshit, the driving is dogshit, the map system is dogshit, but when the game worked (when you're in the actual linear areas) it was great. If you go into this thinking of it as an alt-history Prey, and you like that premise, this is absolutely worth playing.
