    This game (and the box spinoff) amaze me in just how well Russian propaganda machine is tuned into an average American gamer. Show them some ass, give them a definitely anti-woke attitude and they will sing praises defending it forever. Meanwhile under the surface the games are all like “see, Soviet Russia is/was actually kinda cool, amirite?”

      I don’t even care about propagandist views. I’m just like “Hey devs, has your government stopped invading a sovereign country? No? Okay, no buy.”

        About Atomic Heart - a Russian game from a developer tied to Gazprom and Putin’s oligarch buddies.

        This shit should be embargoed, not celebrated.

          I haven’t played it myself, but reddit told me it’s actually anti-soviet as it portrays the dangers of that system or authoritarism. Think of it like 1984. Any truth to that?
