Back in the USSR

I’ve lost track of how many videos I’ve seen forAtomic Heart, and I’m not convinced the game can live up to fans’ high expectations, but I am – and will continue to be – along for this wild ride. Here’s a new one!

I’m at the point where I won’t even mind ifAtomic Heartisn’t very fun to play – the killer-robot-filled alternate-universe Soviet Union backdrop is just so visually interesting. I want to explore this world and see all of the crazy sights the creator, Mundfish, dreamed up. That said, it looks fun too. I’ll gladly smash bots with a sledgehammer and fight a circulatory system tree monster. They don’t have to ask twice.

The release date forAtomic Heartis still firmly “TBA” on Steam and, as usual, the trailer has a disclaimer that “all game elements from the video can change.” Gosh, I hope it all comes together cohesively.
