Actually if I'm honest, Atomic Heart is a game I saw a couple of years ago via a trailer on YouTube and then forgot about. Someone in my stream mentioned it and I just had to go and seek it out again.
Game play wise it looks like pretty standard stuff, a Bioshock or Fallout type affair and since I really enjoy the first Bioshock, taking that game and giving it a Russian twist is more than welcome. But what really got me interested was the striking visual style. The overall setting looks like standard post-apocalypse but the things that inhabit the landscape and the indoor environments in that trailer look like some kind of abstract painting come to life. Even if the game releases and ends up being bland open world bullshit, I'll probably enjoy exploring the world at the very least.
It reminds me of when I was younger and the I saw that Bioshock trailer for the first time
I suppose it's pretty clear that the developers of Atomic Heart are trying to imitate these old trailers with theirs and that's a good thing. Hopefully their game will be just as interested as the first Bioshock was
Unfortunately though, there is no release date for Atomic Heart as far as I know. It has a steam page with a big TBA on it but I'm OK with this. I'd rather it take a long time and be a good game rather than have them rush it out and have another buggy mess on my hands. I will be watching very carefully
