Blood on Crystal provides a fitting finale to Atomic Heart while also laying a foundation that gives us hope for the future of the series.

The DLC is plagued by poor pacing and repetitive combat; its only saving graces are its fantastic boss fights and short runtime.

It will take about 10 hours to complete Atomic Heart: Blood on Crystal. Although the DLC holds the player's hand, it is still capable of throwing in something unexpected.

Although by all accounts this DLC is a logical evolution of everything previously played in the Atomic Heart universe, I'm downgrading my score because hiding the ending in DLC is shameful and shouldn't be encouraged. Plus, there are some plot holes.

I really like the humor in this DLC and the side stories. My only concern is the constant switching of the glove's superpowers, which is annoying. Overall, the enjoyment level is very high
