And obviously things go awry when all the murdering starts but I don’t think any of it was communism’s fault. And this isn’t even going into how the plot centres around an upcoming plan to link everyone’s minds in a form of science fiction super communism. Atomic Heart is set in an alternative mid-twentieth century where Russia is the greatest and most powerful country ever and communism rules and capitalism drools – well fucking so much for that. So, let’s crack off with this assuredly completely politics-free review.

And assuming a game has some political bent just because it comes from Russia would be like criticising Tomb Raider for refusing to address the British government’s complicity in Irish sectarian violence. There are plenty of people in Russia who are just as disappointed by the sagginess of Putin’s man tits as anyone else. So I guess we have to make clear our stance on the war in Ukraine and Vladimir Putin’s saggy man tits.

And now we’re playing a game from Russia. First we had to take a stance on systemic transphobia because we wanted to play the twatty wizard game for twatty wizards. Things have gotten awfully political lately around this silly computer game review show.
