Agent P-3 continually sounds like Duke Nukem, swearing constantly, complaining to Char-les (his artificial intelligence glove) about absolutely everything and basically continually trying to give off a massive badass, snarky attitude which actually makes him a massive bastard. The English dub of Atomic Heart is, dare I say, diabolically bad. Facility 3826 features a fairly large open world, interspersed with several dungeon-esque laboratories. The major problem, however, comes in the form of the dialogue and script. The plot is generally fine but often takes a backseat to the actual gameplay, as you’ll be regularly tasked to do a variety of fetch quests which primarily act as a means to send you to all corners of the facility, seeing the damage the robots have wrought and the architectural glory of these futuristic Soviet buildings. Your job is to hunt down those responsible and restore order to Facility 3826, where much of the technology was originally created. On the eve of the rollout of “Kollectiv 2.0” (basically a precursor to the Internet), the vast array of robots suddenly go haywire, attacking and killing everyone.

This allowed for all soviet industry, farming, and other manual labour to be entirely automated. This is thanks to the work of scientist Dmitry Sechenov, who invented a liquid programmable material called Polymer. Nonetheless, the core gameplay and the fantastically beautiful setting mean Atomic Heart is destined to become a cult classic years from now.Ītomic Heart takes place in a retro-futuristic alternative history 1955 where the Soviet Union made vast advancements in science and industry, becoming the world powerhouse in robotics. And yet, here it is a wildly ambitious game which tries to do a whole host of things, and only succeeds at some of them. It has also recently been embroiled in some controversy, given the Russian developer Mundfish’s supposed connections to the Putin regime and the studio’s failure to conclusively condemn the illegal invasion of Ukraine. First announced back in 2017, for several years it looked like the game was almost tantamount to vapourware. Atomic Heart has been a long time coming.
