#Atomic heart game tv#
There’s also some legitimately bizarre sexual stuff from one of the robot types that actually led to us muting the TV when their lines were being delivered.Īs noted, Atomic Heart is set in an alternate Soviet Union in the 1950s with the rollout of a new A.I. CHAR-les, and while there is some development between them, it’s undermined by just how unlikeable P-3 is, spewing random nonsense (Crispy Critters!!) from start to finish. The primary relationship of the game is between your character, Agent P-3, and your glove-mounted A.I. Whereas BioShock told an interesting story with good performances from its supporting cast, Atomic Heart never finds its groove. Unfortunately, the audio side can’t keep pace. While other areas create a BioShock-type feel without reaching those heights, Atomic Heart comes the closest with its world building. Obviously, world events may colour how you feel about that setting, but judged purely on technical achievement and creativity it’s hard to argue it’s anything other than a success. Both level and enemy design is well executed, and the backdrop of an alternate-history Soviet Union circa the 1950s is an interesting one. Our guess is that it’s trying to simulate not being able to move as fast laterally, but in practice strafing ends up with this weird hitch. Shooting is decent, but it doesn’t feel crisp or responsive the way Halo or Call of Duty do, and the first-person melee combat comes across as semi clunky, which can be tough early in the game when ammo seems to be at a premium - later on as you amass weapons and components, melee becomes more of an option than a necessity. In what will be a recurring theme throughout this review, things in Atomic Heart handle fairly well, and yet there’s just something a little off with it.
With the game arriving in February, we finally got our chance to see if the newcomer deserves space alongside such a renowned series. It was sometime in 2022 that Atomic Heart, the debut effort from developer Mundfish, first appeared on our radars, with the first-person shooter drawing some comparisons to 2K’s legendary BioShock. Activating large autonomous robots never goes well.
