We talked about the general impressions of Atomic Heart in the review, shared the features of the console version of the online games from the studio Friv2Online, and in this article we will show you how the game looks on a powerful PC - with the “atomic” graphics preset.

Atomic Heart was released on February 21 on PC and consoles, and produced the effect of an exploding bomb. The game is praised and scolded, admired and trying to “cancel”, but what is important in this story is that it is being discussed, which means that they continue to focus attention on it, which certainly has a positive effect on sales and in the future may lead to the start of the development of a sequel.

Interest in the project does not fade with us either: still, not every day AAA games from domestic developers come out in the setting of an alternative USSR, with Baskov and Pugacheva in the soundtrack and “Well, you wait!” in every in-game TV. The game looks especially beautiful with maximum graphics settings, and we will demonstrate this with a selection of screenshots below.

The shooter turned out to be perfectly optimized. It works perfectly on a PC with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card at the highest, “atomic” graphics preset, while getting rid of the unpleasant stutters that are often found in titles on Unreal Engine 4. All thanks to the pre-installation of shaders before loading the save, which allows you to make the gameplay very smooth.

However, it is noticeable that the authors went to some tricks to achieve better performance, such as reducing the number of animation frames for distant objects or lowering the resolution of effects. However, only an attentive player will consider these compromises, while for the most part you do not pay attention to them at all.

Confused only by the lack of ray tracing in the release version of the game. The developers promise to add it later, and RT-effects will be implemented in versions for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series, so you can also enjoy improved graphics on consoles.
