A short 𧡠on #AtomicHeart. No, nothing has changed, still not buying it. However, there's one thing no one seems to be talking about and that is the developer's ability to deliver, aka "is this game even real?". So let me talk about that for a second... 1/x
First, to clarify my views, I don't think all arguments of people calling to boycott #AtomicHeart are fair. "Would you be ok with a game glorifying Nazi aesthetics?". Guys, it's NOT the same (see photo). I say that as a Pole, and you know our opinion on Soviet Russia... 2/x 
Also, unless you know how the game ends and what the story is truly about, you cannot say it glorifies anything. A setting is not automatically a glorification. You need to know the context, and you will not know the context until you know the whole story. 3/x
On the other hand, while I'm usually against boycotts, we're not talking about ideology wars here. We're talking actual murder, rape and destruction war -- and some investors and where the studio earnings go are hella sus. So, again, I'm not buying the game. 4/x
It's a fucked up situation because, sure, there is chance the developer is overall a bunch of nice people that can't even openly talk about their anti-war stance without the fear of jail (they did tweet something vague but it was too silly to be treated seriously)... 5/x
...but I'll ponder on that as soon as Ukrainian fathers and mothers and sons and daughters stop dying from Russian bullets. Until then, my thirst for sexy Soviet robots will have to be satisfied in different ways. 6/x
So, finally, to the point. #AtomicHeart looks absolutely phenomenal. Mind blowing. But ...active development was five years. And the team is currently 80 people. Having made an AAA game with similar but more experienced team... Something's not right here. 7/x
Plain and simple: it's bordering on impossible that #AtomicHeart is what it seems to be. A relatively small team of inexperienced devs putting most Western AAA devs to shame with their stunning action adventure is too good to be true. 8/x
My prediction? Either #AtomicHeart is super short (*rumor* is that the difficulty is insane in order to prolong the experience) or super buggy or both. We'll see soon if I was right or if the game is the magical exception that the world will remember for decades. 9/9
