Atomic Heart’s release has been a success, however, it wasn’t without fault. While the game received a positive reception, several players complained about the lack of an FOV slider. Some interesting decisions for the PC port, like forced Mouse Acceleration, were heavily questioned as well.
Thankfully, these are problems of the past now. The developer released a major update recently that brought some highly demanded features and squashed dozens of bugs. Players could now see more of the world thanks to the newly added FOV slider, with the ultrawide screen now adapting to the player’s FOV. Mouse acceleration in the PC version has been removed.
