Never bothered with the first one. But if this trailer is any indication then this will be one to watch. That they mentioned that they'd lean a bit more into choices and light RPG mechanics is just icing on the cake.

$20 or less, sure. Its cool but does have flaws. One big one in the open world that they could easily fix in a sequel. Art style is great.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The first game isn't nearly as 'bombastic' as this trailer looks like with its obviously-faked game play. The first one plays a lot more like a Bioshock with an open setting. Pretty good game, imo.

First game was a solid Bioshock-like, but bro the story / cinematics actually hurt it imo. like stfu dude, environmental storytelling wouldve been fine there was plenty of atmosphere.

Fake or not, it sure made an impression. I'll see if I can grab a cheap copy of the first one and give it a whirl.

First one scratched my bioshock itch. This looks to be at least just as good going by the trailer.

I really enjoyed the first one but it had a lot of flaws. I think it went on a little too long and the outdoor environments felt pretty meh. The world was very cool though.
The first DLC was almost controller breaking it was so difficult. I heard the third DLC is excellent t so I need to get that done before this hits.
I definitely will be preordering it to show them support. I loved the trailer I thought it looked fantastic.

If you like FPS and especially ones like Bioshock that mix abilities you should definitely give it a go.

Looks great. First game was ambitious with a lot of good moments and here and there rough edges.

No it was Atomic Herat and there was another topic made at the same time ALSO with a typo of Atomic Hearth.

It's great that they're making another one. Plenty of things to fix and improve. Haven't had the time or was in the mood to play DLCs, hopefully by the time they'll release the last one.

Is the dickhead protagonist from the first game making a return or what? I stopped playing early on, bored.
It looks like they AI generated ideas then created in game models based on them, or created a tool to automatically do the two together.
But AI is making me question everything. This could just be a normally developed game and any questioning of the development practices could be insulting to the hard working team.

I watched the trailer again and it didn't mention a release date. Is there any chance we'll see this in the next 18 months or so? If it does show up soon that's an amazing turnaround and it looks like huge step up from the first game. I really hope they deliver the bombastic balls to the wall fun in that trailer as I'll be all over it.
There was also another game by mundfish on a rotating cube that looked interesting. Definitely a developer to keep an eye on.

First game is somewhat misunderstood.
Some people think it is your standard open world game, but it has respawning enemy robots and so it is bad.
But that is not correct. The open world only serves as an immersive connective tissue between interior levels (which are all fantastic) in lieu of loading screens.
Respawning robots can be disabled via ingame hacking mechanic (that many people miss).
Another complaint is about "dudebro" main protagonist and writing. But he only sounds unfitting and lame in english VO. I played in Russian with Czech subtitles and thoroughly enjoyed the story and characters.
The main star of the show is super creative visual design nad punchy weapons and powers (i.e. gameplay). I played the game at launch via gamepass and thoroughly enjoyed it. Runs brilliantly, too.

Imagine how stupid someone needs to be to criticize a russian for making a dudebro game.

Mundfish is a Russian company, and they've been coy about their ties to the Russian government. I'm not an era guy by any stretch of the imagination, but I have to admit I have my own ethical issues with this considering, among other things, I have a Ukrainian refugee living under my roof.

I do like the look of the first game and hearing your positive impressions means it's now on my backlog/wishlist.
Yep, the first game is absolutely, thoroughly Russian. It's crammed full of Soviet era (and contemporary Russia) references to movies, music, cartoons, people etc.(the cartoon that is played on TV in Save Rooms is a famous Soviet cartoon, for example, "Ну, погоди!").
That "crusty critters" line in English sounds absolutely normal in Russian, sort of a very rude swearing (Ёбаные пироги)
The Russian VO is great and the whole thing could only be fully enjoyed by knowing the Russian culture.
Simply put 90% of the game (atmosphere, flavour, lore, story) flew over most everyone's (except Russians and post-Soviet countries) heads

That team has proven before that they are really good with trailers, but not necessarily with delivering on the promise.

While the game kind of mocks and satirises certain aspects of Soviet Union, it also romanticises many others. I wish it just downright admitted that this awful cesspool regime was a cause of so much tragedy and suffering. But I enjoyed the game for what it was, I had a very unique look and art-style and the interior levels were very well designed.

The thing is that Soviet Union had good and bad parts. Just like everything.

If by good you mean an occasional good film or a book, sure. As someone who has spent my youth there I can assure you there was absolutely nothing good about the regime itself.The thing is that Soviet Union had good and bad parts. Just like everything.
