Atomic Heart

Atomic Heart

Atomic Heart is a single-player first-person shooter that tasks players with saving a retrofuturistic Soviet utopia from a robot uprising. The look and style of the game immediately draw comparisons to classics such as Bioshock, but Atomic Heart has some interesting ideas of its own too. The combat, which is filled with giant adversaries, powerful guns, and interesting polymer abilities makes for visceral encounters, but things like quick time events and tedious fetch quests mar the experience. Players hoping to sneak through the game will also quickly end up frustrated. Nevertheless, despite some issues, Atomic Heart is worth the experience, and fans of the genre will enjoy what it has to offer.

Gameplay: After a slow start the action picks up considerably and the game is filled with lots of action as well as some exploration and puzzle-solving.

Graphics: The Unreal Engine 4 is put to good use in Atomic Heart to deliver stunning outdoor vistas as well as massive boss battles and detailed indoor environments.

Sound: The voice acting can be a bit questionable at times, but the sound effects and soundtrack are really good

Metal: Hellsinger

Metal: Hellsinger

Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm-based first-person shooter starring a half-human half-demon named Unknown. After getting her voice taken away, Unknown teams up with a talking skull and goes on a rampage through hell. The rhythm elements and the soundtrack featuring some of the best voices in metal set the game apart, and while short, it offers a lot of fun while it lasts.

Gameplay: Shooting enemies to the beat of a metal soundtrack is a lot of fun but can become a little repetitive.

Graphics: The visuals look good, but there’s nothing here that Doom players have not seen before.

Sound: The metal soundtrack is graced by some of the best singers in the genre, and the voice acting is also very professional

Scathe

Scathe

Navigate a deviously crafted maze and blast the legions of hell to bits in this fast-paced first-person shooter. The bullet hell elements make for a different type of shooter, and the inclusion of drop-in/drop-out co-op enhances the experience. Scathe also impresses with some polished visuals, big guns, and menacing enemies to use them on. Unfortunately, the audio could have been better, and the game can become repetitive. Nevertheless, Scathe is a lot of fun, especially when played with friends, and does enough to elevate itself above the horde of cookie-cutter shooters cluttering the market.

Gameplay: Scathe features plenty of action along with some extra challenges to keep players on their toes.

Graphics: The visuals are stylish and feature a lot of impressive designs.

Sound: The choice of music is great but needs more variety, and the sound effects lack punch
