Atomic Heart is an upcoming game by Mundfish that puts you in the shoes of a special Soviet agent sent to investigate why a secret facility has gone dark. While the game looks to be filled with intense action and interesting enemies, many players are wondering what difficulty setting they should play the game on. Fortunately, there are a few tips to help you decide.
Atomic Heart offers three difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard. Before you decide which one to go with, take a moment to assess your experience level with similar titles. Those with more experience in playing challenging first-person shooters should go with Hard difficulty, while those who are new to the genre may want to start on Easy.
Your playtime can be a factor in deciding which difficulty to play on. If you want to finish the game quickly, Easy mode is your best bet. Normal will take a bit more time, and Hard mode may take longer than you realize due to the increased challenge.
Atomic Heart allows players to switch difficulty levels during the game, so if you find yourself struggling or bored with the difficulty you chose you can adjust it as you go. This can be useful if you find yourself stuck on one level or want to get a bit more challenge out of the game.
At the end of the day, choosing the right difficulty for Atomic Heart is a personal preference. Try a few levels when the game comes out, and see which one matches your playstyle.
