You’re creeping through halls smeared with blood, past bodies wrapped up in electrical cables and high-tensile tentacles. For most of the early game you’ve only got a shotgun with limited ammo and an axe. The weird thing is, it takes an incredibly long time for Atomic Heart to get anywhere near the balls-out action game the trailers depict it as. This happens more than once.īefore long though, things go inevitably tits-up, and P-3 ends up having to fight through an experimental facility overrun by killer robots and plant-headed zombies. He’s the kind of guy who asks how something works and then shouts “Boring!” half way through the explanation. You can set his voice actor to Russian if you want to, otherwise you’ll be listening to a cocky, standard-issue US generi-soldier just being generally rude and unpleasant for hours on end. We also have P-3 being a dick to the glove for no given reason. In just the first half hour we have multiple tracking shots of the city, busy crowds that don’t feature again, various info-dumps, a little light pandering to China, and two interminable elevator rides, just so we can look at all the pretty. If Atomic Heart spent as much time telling its story as gazing lovingly into its own reflection the opening wouldn’t feel so uncomfortably drawn-out. Why you’ve come to Chelomey and where you’re going isn’t immediately made clear. Your character is a soldier whose life was saved by Sechenov, and who now wears a special Polymer glove, fitted with an advanced AI named Charles. Polymer leapfrogged humanity forward several decades in terms of technology, so Atomic Heart also has the 1950s retro-futurism made famous by Bioshock. In this reality, Russia won World War 2 when Sechenov developed the Polymer, a kind of all-purpose, might-as-well-be-magic technology used for pretty much any plot inconvenience you stumble across. It’s hardly subtle, and the atmosphere is undeniably familiar.Ĭhelomey is one of many floating cities designed by Russian visionary, Doctor Sechenov. It’s all so twee that you just know everyone you see will eventually end up skull-humped by the scores of robots walking among them. The opening hammers this home particularly strongly in a protracted cutscene where your American-accented Russian agent Sergey Nechayev, or P-3, enjoys a leisurely boat ride along the canals of Chelomey, a Columbia-esque city in the sky. It looks good on the outside, fits in with the upmarket crowd, will almost certainly turn a few heads, but beneath the well-dressed veneer, it’s an inelegant monstrosity that can’t keep its knuckles off the floor for long.ĭeveloper Mundfish wears its inspirations on its sleeves here, and at least at surface level Atomic Heart is equal parts Bioshock: Infinite and Fallout 4. Atomic Heart is coming day one to Xbox Game Pass on console, PC, and cloud.The best way to describe Atomic Heart is to liken it to a thug in a pinstripe suit. There’s no solid release date just yet, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more. The main protagonist is a special agent called P-3, who is sent by the government to investigate a manufacturing facility that has fallen silent.” – Xbox Release Date “Atomic Heart takes place in the Soviet Union in an alternative reality sometime in 1955, where technology like the internet, holograms and robots have already been invented. It reminds me of Fallout a little, but it seems to take the retro and future aspects to the same extreme that it takes its level of crazy.
The setting is the 1950’s, but strangely, it’s more futuristic too. It’s pretty wild and really, even from the strange early videos I saw of this game, it’s really not what I expected at all. There really isn’t much else to say other than watch the trailer.
ATOMIC HEART E3 DOWNLOAD
Plus, on PC, you can already download the RTX tech demo, which looks awesome by the way. The game will fully support a range of real-time ray tracing effects, and if the trailer is any indication, it’s going to be a visual feast when it’s released. It is in fact a complex shooter, and while it will have puzzle elements, looting, shooting, crafting, and player abilities all play a strong part too. I thought the game was some kind of puzzle or adventure title, but frankly, I couldn’t have been more wrong. So let’s check out the old tech trailer first! I think I must have had the day off when any other information was released though, as the new trailer is pretty mental. Of course, this was quite some time ago now, and I wonder how many of you even remember it. When I first saw Atomic Heart it was the RTX lighting demonstration that showed some strange items in a room.
