I think the atmosphere is amazing in this game. While it is a little short, almost every sequence felt great and unique, and offered a small but satisfying and enriching glimpse into this post apocalyptic world. The combat I found was pretty hit or miss, with my favourite and most effective sequence being one not involving weapons (the Library). That being said the guns all felt great and satisfying to use - not overly powerful but you certainly didn't feel defenceless.
The story I think was pretty weak, and I wasn't a fan of how some things weren't explained. However I did like the many different interactions and dialogues with characters, all offering insight into what life would be like in such a scenario. I do wish Artyom could speak - maybe the later games clear this up.
