People loved those games, and Atomic Heart looks to be the first big title in that lineage in a long time. Why, exactly, has Atomic Heart proven to be so divisive? It’s an interesting question, because on paper, you would think the game would mark the triumphant return of the style of “lite” immersive-sim/FPS/RPG blend that we saw so much of for a few years back in the day – you know, games like Deus Ex, and STALKER. Which isn’t to say it has been a disaster or anything – it’s received a lot of praise for a lot of the stuff it does do well (which we will get in a bit), but for as much positive passion it has elicited from some players, it has also generated a lot of pushback. A lot of that comes from external global geopolitical factors surrounding the game, but even among the crowd that insists on separating “the politics from the games”, Atomic Heart hasn’t been a total home run. Atomic Heart launched after years of build up and hype recently, and while the game has certainly proven to be successful, it has also proven to be controversial and divisive.
