You can purchase these upgrades from NORA, the lust-driven upgrade vending machine, using various bits and bobs as currency that you collect from looting every nook and cranny that you find.

All of the weapons have a number of upgrades to discover as you make you way through the game. There are also several melee weapons that allow you to get in there and really get your hands dirty should you choose that path. As you’d expect at this point, it’s up to you, Intelligence Major “P-3,” to find out what is going on and stop them all from killing everyone.Ītomic Heart is basically a first-person shooter at its core and does a good job with the multiple guns and such to make you feel like you have some awesome firepower at your fingertips. In addition, secret science experiments carried out by unscrupulous scientists have added terrible mutant monsters into the mix. Until they are not, and those same robots that were created to make life easier suddenly turn on the human populace. Science and technology rule the day and Russians are focused on using both to enable the average citizen to spend their days following their dreams instead of toiling away at a menial job. You’re probably wondering, if this game is being compared to BioShock, what is it about? Atomic Heart is set in Russia in the year 1955. It has been compared to the BioShock series by reviewers in more ways that one, however, while there is a lot about Atomic Heart that would be a fair comparison, there are other areas that are at the heart, so to speak, of what makes the game what it is, that are no comparison at all. In steps a new studio called Mundfish with their very first video game, Atomic Heart. It’s been a full decade since that game was released so I’ve given up hope that there will eventually be another in the series.

It was my favorite game that year and I loved the ending so much, I immediately went back and played it a second time from a previous save file. I’ve been craving a new game like Irrational Game’s BioShock ever since I finished Infinite.
