Atomic Heart may be a beautiful FPS, but I wish it had a silent protagonist
I’ve played around four hours of soviet-punk FPS Atomic Heart, which took me from the story’s opening moments to plenty of the game’s earliest bits. The final hour or so was split into two parts, thanks to a lovely dev who time-skipped me forwards and into the game’s open world, before warping me through a gate and into an early boss’s lair. There was a lot to take in, from robo-gloves, to sex-dom vending machines, to grannies with bazookas.
I went in with expectations that it might be a little like BioShock, all steely and serious in its delivery of some vaguely philosophical truth. But I emerged with a totally different impression. Far from polished seriousness, Atomic Heart seems a little disjointed in its ambition, with a main character who almost immediately kills any atmosphere when he opens his mouth.
Fire Emblem Engage’s opening cinematic gives us a flashy look at our toothpaste coloured protagonist
Fire Emblem Engage is set to launch in just a couple of weeks now, and its opening cinematic is available to check out now.
Announced just a few months ago, Fire Emblem Engage is out January 20, with a number of outlets getting their hands on it for the first time. Dutch Nintendo-focused YouTube channel N1-UP recently took a look at the game, and even uploaded the full opening cinematic that will greet you once you boot up the game (thanks, GamesRadar). So if you aren’t interested in what appears to be quiet light spoilers, I’d steer clear of this one.
The cinematic is appropriately anime, as in it teases some of the events in the main game, as well as showing the main cast in a number of dramatic combat encounters, all set to a slightly underwhelming theme song (the lyrics of which are just a bit too on the nose). Also shown off in the video is the quite sombre title screen, so overall there’s a good mix of over-the-topness and subtlety, the perfect combination for any Fire Emblem.
