With Atomic Heart, a half-interesting game is buried by a mess of its own making - a mess which represents an industry conundrum that will only continue to grow. Our review:
Here's Digital Foundry's tech review of Atomic Heart to give you an idea of how it performs.
Atomic Heart's angle, like most games set in dystopia, is pretty obvious - but it's obfuscated by its own noise. All of which is to say: many of Atomic Heart's problems are much more boring than the controversy would have you believe.
Best of all, and most surprisingly, there is a decent story here - and P-3 becomes, dare I say it, quite likeable in time. Those early hours are really an elaborate fake-out, as he walks the path from true believer to something more like furiously betrayed.
Despite everything there are some highlights: P-3, slowly - slowly - coming around to what Charles explains to him one. A novel feature letting you talk to the occasional dead body being another.
