Critics slam controversial video game Atomic Heart for ties to Moscow, winks to Stalinism and alleged stabs at Ukraine
Poor judgment
Back in the former USSR, Atomic Heart’s creators appear all too happy to tap into nostalgia for the Soviet Union. A Moscow launch event for the game in November was a love letter to Soviet kitsch. The downtown venue was adorned with Communist touches: signs read “Glory to Soviet engineers” and “Comrade, join the society of tomorrow.” Then there is Atomic Heart’s launch date of Feb.
What the company didn’t do was condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The only one breaking ranks is the composer of the soundtrack, Mick Gordon. He has donated his fee to Red Cross Australia’s Ukraine Crisis Appeal. “My motivations are solely to support the Ukrainian people affected by the conflict,” he said.
Atomic Heart borrows its gameplay beats and retro-futurism from BioShock. What about the satire? The player fills the boots of “P-3”, a Second World War veteran summoned to Soviet research hub Facility 3826. The Facility was the creation of scientist Dmitry Sechenov, whose breakthroughs in artificial intelligence have allowed the Soviet Union to win the Second World War .
