The game starts strong with a gorgeously presented prologue of a 1955 Soviet city in an alternative reality where Russia has become a post-World War II global juggernaut care of its creation of a “Polymer” super substance. You play as due-bro protagonist Major P-3 who riffs off his more straight-laced talking super-glove called Charles (no, really). After spending 14 hours blitzing through a main-path run of the campaign, there’s a lot to love about Atomic Heart but its shortcomings loom large. That very first Atomic Heart trailer dropped in 2017 and, honestly, by the time more of the game was showcased, the more I tempered my expectations. So it should come as no surprise that Atomic Heart has been on my radar for years, given how heavily the initial trailers leant into what looked like a Soviet-themed spiritual successor to BioShock. Such is my longing that I’ve recently replayed the first two Rapture-set games and am prepping for another run at sky-high BioShock Infinite. Oh, how I long for another BioShock game.
