What doesn’t make sense is that back then, the Cold War prevented the Soviet Union from being in contact with virtually any part of the world. Unless, of course, you were talking to someone who only speaks English, then that would make sense. So basically, he can speak Russian, but he prefers to speak English? In a place when he doesn’t need to? But… why? Speak your native language. The authenticity is easily ruined, as I’m trying to understand how the English speaker is… wait… he’s not just an English speaker, but he also speaks in a heavy Russian accent. So, on one side, I have an English speaker, and on the other, I have a poster that says something that I can’t even understand.

That wouldn’t make sense since it would need to be written in Russian. It would be weird if the poster were written in English. Unless they want to remove the authenticity by having the voice actors speak English with a Russian accent, they do that all the time, so what can I say? But still, it would be weird if you walked down an abandoned lab or a mall or whatever, riddled with failed experiments and robots gone array and looking at a poster for anything. The game takes place in the Soviet Union in the 50s, right? The characters are going to speak Russian all the time. So… is the game going to be in Russian… all the time? But that’s not the problem I have with it. It sure seemed like a technologically advanced dystopia, but otherwise, it was a pretty decent game. It sure seems that way at first glance, so I went to watch a trailer, and although I had to change the background music with one of my own choices by playing a different video behind it, it sure seemed fantastic the way I saw it.Īnyway, gameplay trailers showed some usual action RPG mechanics and the likes. Anyway, I realised that it was just another carbon copy of the archetypal anachronistic society. It baffled me by that statement alone since I don’t even think the Arpanet was born (I’m not sure if that’s spelt right). So, I looked it up and what I’ve found is that it’s a game about the Soviet Union in the 1950s where they had the Internet. It sounds like the name of a gritty hero from a 1980s cyberpunk anime, or maybe just something cyberpunk in general, regardless of the period and/or geographical origins. It’s only because it has a cool name that I could remember in its entirety: Atomic Heart. While I’m sitting here trying to think of what to write next, I remember that I discovered this game not too long ago that had a really cool name. I don’t know what it’s about, but the name is awesome!
