“Atomic Heart takes place in the Soviet Union in an alternative reality sometime in 1955, where technology like the internet, holograms and robots have already been invented. It reminds me of Fallout a little, but it seems to take the retro and future aspects to the same extreme that it takes its level of crazy. The setting is the 1950’s, but strangely, it’s more futuristic too. It’s pretty wild and really, even from the strange early videos I saw of this game, it’s really not what I expected at all. There really isn’t much else to say other than watch the trailer. Plus, on PC, you can already download the RTX tech demo, which looks awesome by the way. The game will fully support a range of real-time ray tracing effects, and if the trailer is any indication, it’s going to be a visual feast when it’s released.

It is in fact a complex shooter, and while it will have puzzle elements, looting, shooting, crafting, and player abilities all play a strong part too. I thought the game was some kind of puzzle or adventure title, but frankly, I couldn’t have been more wrong. So let’s check out the old tech trailer first! I think I must have had the day off when any other information was released though, as the new trailer is pretty mental. Of course, this was quite some time ago now, and I wonder how many of you even remember it. When I first saw Atomic Heart it was the RTX lighting demonstration that showed some strange items in a room.
