Digital Foundry : A new FPS action game clearly inspired by BioShock has arrived from newcomer Mundfish. In this DF tech review, Oliver Mackenzie assesses the visuals and performance of the game, which runs on Unreal Engine 4. You'll see how visual features and performance compare across the current-gen consoles, and what the turn-out is on the Xbox One S too. PC? We don't have the bandwidth for a full deep dive, but you'll get to see exactly how the PC code scales against consoles in this video.
Atomic Heart - Enchantment Under The Sea is an electrifying continuation of the game's saga, delivering dynamic combat and an engaging narrative.
Mundfish and Focus Entertainment have released the third major DLC expansion for Atomic Heart, titled Echantment Under the Sea.

A total of 3 games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass by the end of August, 2024. This includes Mundfish's first-person shooter, Atomic Heart.
I tired Atomic Heart and quit after 2hrs. I couldn’t stand the voice acting and level design.
I thought the game was great. Good sense of exploration, and combat only got my interesting as you built your character and weapons.
I'm playing it now and my only complaint is the difficulty even on the easiest mode. I'm not good with anything difficult despite being raised in the 8-bit and 16-bit era.
Hogwarts Legacy and Atomic Heart both run much better on PS5. Interesting.
“As for PS5, Frame rates aren't perfect here, but we're not too far from a stable 60 FPSs. Certain cut scenes can cause significant dips, but in general, gameplay one or two frame drops are more common. With prolonged dips a relative rarity, the rest of the time the game sails along at a smooth 60 fps. It seems, at least in my own testing, without much in the way of impactful performance issues.”
“Series X is a different story. The game frequently drops frames during combat, traversal, and on camera movement. Sometimes these are momentary, but they can be severe like in this sequence.”
PS5 the definitive way to play.
"the xbox series console's fare significantly worse than the PS5 version"
constantly dropping frames, just by turning the camera, that will get old really fast, lots of additional graphical glitches compared to the PS5 version, its already had lots of updates and its still in this state, as of right know, its practically unplayable on the x/s, the Pc version is the clear graphical winner but still suffers from objects in the distance being half animated like the console versions, and with the occasional stutter
New games have been running better on PS5 lately, and we're over 2 years into this console cycle.
MS may be paying the price for the Series S, dividing the developer's efforts on Xbox and causing worse optimization than if they'd just put out a Series X Digital Edition as the cheaper option. Devs don't have infinite resources.
Consequences for series S and X tbh imo.
