The opening tour of this stylish retro-futuristic Soviet utopia has a similar feel to first arriving in BioShock Infinite's idyllic Columbia and your various powers and some of the more outlandish weapons feel like Plasmids but with fewer restrictions on their usage (abilities are all based on short cooldowns rather than requiring resources), while the focus on machines running wild takes us back to BioShock forerunner System Shock. You're probably going to hear a good few BioShock comparisons from people describing Atomic Heart, and it's not difficult to see why. Still, as one of the many games coming to Game Pass, Atomic Heart is worth a look, even if purely for the chaos and spectacle in which the game revels so.
It's a noble effort for the most part, with some superb set pieces and a fantastic world, but marred by a few weaker elements and odd decisions that hold it back from giving Rapture too much to worry about.
In some ways, Atomic Heart itself takes after its setting in this regard as well, and while it has looked absolutely jaw-dropping in most of its pre-launch footage, Mundfish's debut release was always going to find stepping out of the shadow of the similar BioShock games to be a tall order. Well, until it all goes wrong and that legion of mechanical labourers goes into Murder Mode, anyway. Take Atomic Heart's setting, for instance - a work-free paradise where machines do all the menial jobs and the populace is free to focus on self-improvement, academia, relaxation, or whatever else without a care in the world.
How does the game stack up to the intense footage we've been shown in the lead-up to launch?Some things are just too good to be true.
