It takes about 15-16 hours to complete Atomic Heart.
Mundfish's absurdist shooter offers a unique robot insurrection. Atomic Heart, inspired by Bioshock and Far Cry, transports you to Facility 3826, a top-secret military installation under a hostile takeover by the servile robots developed there.
What is Atomic Heart?
Mundfish, a tiny development studio aiming to make AAA-quality games, has released Atomic Heart. Their titles tend to keep to the post-apocalyptic genre, with Atomic Heart mixing its cornerstones with first-person shooter gameplay, survival, and role-playing action features. In the game, players take on the role of a mentally disturbed soldier recruited by a scientist to take down failed experiments and rogue robots in a scientific research facility in the Soviet Union.
How long does it take to beat Atomic Heart?
Atomic Heart's length will vary, depending on your ambitions and desire to see the whole thing, but having played it through, here's an estimation.
Critical path (just the primary story campaign): 13-18 hours
Standard playthrough (story plus some side activities): 15-20 hours
Completionist (100% story and all side activities): 30-35 hours
Again, difficulty and player expertise with action-packed survival will be critical factors, and the level to which players participate in side activities can more than quadruple the game's length.
Will Atomic Heart be fun to play?
Atomic Heart is becoming one of recent memory's most brutal, scary, and gory action games. Its gritty, retro-futuristic atmosphere is evocative of classic titles such as Bioshock, Fallout, and Metro, while the ultraviolent, adrenaline-pumping gameplay is reminiscent of action shooters such as DOOM. What adds to the latter's inspiration is that Mick Gordon, the primary composer behind DOOM (2016), Doom Eternal, Killer Instinct (2013), and other games, will contribute to Atomic Heart's soundtrack to get the player's blood pumping as they run and gun their way through the Kollectiv. With its spectacular aesthetics and superb, explosive gameplay, Atomic Heart can become one of the finest Xbox games.
