@@TheSpiralAim well in-game it is a mini version. Baba Yaga actually lived inside "House on Chicken's legs" and used it to protect herself and constantly move around (which attributed to her being hard to find and impossible to capture - in some Fairy Tales when hero required her wisdom they needed to use special artifacts just to track her down like Golden Yarn Ball or Magic Apple on a Plate)

This is a reference to the book "Professor Dowell's Head" by the old Soviet science fiction writer Alexander Belyaev. The book tells about the discovery of a compound that prevents tissue rejection, which allowed the professor to conduct a successful head transplant. The envious assistant kills him and reanimates his head, keeping it alive with this compound, trying to retrieve the formula for making the compound by torturing the head. But stocks of composition remain less and less. The image on the wall is taken from a poster for the late Soviet movie "Professor Dowell's Testament" which is based on that book.
@@DreamyAileen Yeah, Geoffrey and Mick have similar sounding industrial metal stuff seeing as Geoffrey was heavily inspired by Mick, but Geoffrey's stuff is still distinct enough to tell that it's his work and not Mick's.
8:10 This is a "chicken legged hut" the recurring appearance in Russian folklore and acting residence of Baba Yaga. Originally this hut represented a burial tradition in some slavic cultures. Where the land was swampy, when the snow melts in Spring bodies just buried in the ground had a pretty high chance of getting washed out and into the water streams. So to save themselves from a sight of finding half rotten grandpa and the dying to diseases you were drinking from that grandpa, people did not actually use ground bureals. Instead a couple of trees were cut at about chest heights and those stumps were used as a foundation for a hut where dead bodies would be placed. And if you picture how this bureal hut would look from outside you can get why the chicken legged image came from. Also funnily enough Baba Yaga is usually not an evil character. She is kind of a grim reaper figure analogue. And often times she would help heroes to find a way to deal with "the immortal Koshey" - a king/wizard who at some point courted baba Yaga but then tricked her and became immortal upsetting the natural order Yaga needs to uphold.
Ещё Баба Яга в сказках помогала героям попасть в мир мёртвых, где героям надо было получить необходимые знания. При первом появлении Баба Зина даёт герою возможность попасть в бункер - мир под землёй, где почти все мертвы. Эта игра в некотором смысле интерпретация сказки про Ивана-дурочка, которым все помыкают.
They really did lmao before the game came out there was posts of a 6 hour scene of the ballerina twins from the devs but Im pretty sure it was a joke. People rlly thought they could smash the robot twins 💀💀
They've shown up twice in the story for me so far. The first time was when they give you the key in the office. The second... They recreated the fifth element in a way that yea, the devs knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
The game is absolutely gorgeous. The starting scene, I thought it was a live action movie. It reminded me of the start of BioShock, with the fire in the water. Which, I sat with my character in the water, staring at the fire for 10 minutes before I realized that it was gameplay. I got the same feeling at the beginning of this game. It’s a great title. To me, it feels like a mix between BioShock and Half Life 2. Which is an awesome mix. The character designs, the open world and the overall design of the universe is just nuts. You can tell a lot of work went into getting the aura of the landscape down. It just feels good and plays well also. This is truly a gem in the GamePass library. It definitely has AAA production quality and is a blast to play. I can remember them talking about this game years and years ago. To the point where, I never thought it was going to come out. I’m glad it did, because it’s a definitive feather in the cap for Microsoft and game pass. When I first started playing it, I got Xbox 360 vibes. And I say that, because it’s been a very long time since we’ve gotten a new title that wasn’t a sequel or prequel to something. Something that the developer put themselves out there for. Which doesn’t happen very much anymore. In the Xbox and Xbox 360 era… we would get so many great games that took chances on new ideas and new stories. This is what Atomic Heart feels like to me. A breath of fresh air in an industry that has become stagnated by its own lack of ambition… going to the well, and fishing out another sequel of an established franchise… Simply because the name alone will sell the title. Very rarely taking those chances on new IP’s, that could become future franchises. So God bless the developer for taking that chance and bringing us this very cool title. As, we need more developers to take more chances on AA and AAA quality titles that don’t fit into the mold of what’s popular and trending at the moment. Believing in themselves and baking a new pie from scratch. As I had truly become bored over the past two generations, feeling like I’m playing the same titles over and over again with a new coat of paint. Simply because the money it costs developers to create modern AAA games, is prohibitive for them to take risks. Which is understandable, but it leaves us with a lot of me too titles. Between this and Age Of Empires 2, Mount & Blade II, Cities Skylines remastered, not to mention the upcoming Wo Long, the Show ‘23, Minecraft Legends and RedFall… then whenever the new Forza releases and everything else they have that is upcoming for Game Pass. This year has started off really strong and I’m really enjoying the titles a lot that they released since the end of last year and beginning of this. It’s mind-boggling to me that for $15 a month, we can download some really incredible titles that will keep us busy for months on end. Great stuff. Thank you Microsoft.
I have to admit Atomic Heart did add in my very first Fridge Kink. I mean i am not gonna lie, that Upgrade Station is insane and funny. Best combination
so fun fact Indei, the little house with legs makes reference to Baba Yaga (slavic folklore). That is her means of transportation and house and pet I guess
I really liked the game, but from russian like me the music and these great covers of old Soviet songs deserve special praise. "Trava u doma", "Komarovo", " Muzika nas svyazala" - we grew up on these songs, and I guarantee that you will not find in any post-Soviet country a person over 15 who has not heard these songs. To hear such ATOMIC remixes during a fight is simply priceless. Also, the cartoon about wolf and hare is called "Nu, Pogodi" and it's literally THE most beloved thing in all Post-soviet countries. So far my personal GOTY.
I love the realisation mid-capture that you do indeed have to edit the video before it gets uploaded. I've definitely done that kind of mistake in my time calculation and felt the dread.
I'm definitely getting Bioshock Infinite Vibes in that opening, that "calm before the shit storm" energy. And it delivered it possibly with greater impact than Bioshock Infinite. There is a lot of sewage bubbling beneath that sparkling pseudo utopian image this alternate USSR reality is trying to put up. Can't wait for the deep dives into the plot and lore of the world to kick in.
There are a lot of hints that things are not as nice as they look. For example, you encounter commercial for pills of long life and MC asks "Это сколько терпеть?", which goes along the lines of "And how long of dealing with shit is that?" ("Bear with it HOW LONG?" if you need to the letter translation).
Ironically, while some were enraged that the USSR was shown with a bright summer sun, happy people and without executions every five minutes (commentor above is great example of searching negative by any cost, because how it possible, USSR without negative?), anothers was upset, when realize this story not about "victory of communism in all world"™ Somewhere I even understand them (constant stupid demonization of USSR made this topic sensitive, and take socialism just for waste it for such banal "suddenterribletruth" is disputable decision), but demmit, it just clishe about dirty politicians, who support mad scientist and lost control over them. After all, no one call Resident Evil anti-capitalistic propaganda.
@@AmaryInkawult Here nothing to caught - when the announcer says that pills can prolong life, so there is enough time for long things, in answer hero show his impatient character - "so long?". Actually, in Vavilov complex, he gets angry and says that so many people died in the war, then from epidemy, and now everything seems to be fine, happiness and peace have come, but because of one idiot people are dying again. Not "horray, they not dealing with this shit anymore!" UPD: I checked right now - protagonist said "это сколько ж нужно терпения, чтобы столько жить?", literally "how much patience does it have to live so (130-150 years) long?"
Yeah, you don't hear much about Wolfenstein these days, but this definitely reminded me so much of it. Both regimes have a certain style to them, both discovering technology far beyond their time in and around WW2. The difference in tactics is what really gets me. Robots and Ubersoldaten in Wolfenstein are built for war straight up, mirroring how the Third Reich just took over everything without even trying to disguise their intentions. The Communists in Atomic Heart are choosing a more subtle approach in their invasion, hiding their army behind the guise of maintenance and service robots, kind of like making an army out of Mr. Handy robots from Fallout 4.
7:31 that's water dispenser. Tap up hand sink, to be precise; 8:00 that's a hut on fowl's legs (Baba Yaga's hut, which has reference in Baba Zina); 11:13 that's professor Dowell's Head (written by Alexander Belyaev).
I just wanted you to know I think you are one of the best gaming TH-camrs out there. Your production value is insane. It's on par with Markiplier and Jacksepticeye, the big dogs. Which is why it doesn't make sense to me that you have such a small subscriber count compared to them. I think you deserve more recognition for your work and creativity.
There is something very cool about how most Bioshock style games will give you some kind of wrench or other handyman tool as your melee weapon, and Atomic Heart just goes nahhh, here's a HUGE AXE, GO WILD
I'm absolutely loving the game, I've seen people say the gameplay is sub par but I've had no problems myself so far! It definitely scratches that Bioshock itch for me but has its own twist which is soo good! The gunplay feels really good and I don't get why people hate the melee so much.. its better than it is in most games for me.
I’ve just now started acknowledging some of the props in the desk-talk segments of your videos. Is that a CRT?! Is that a LANDLINE?! WHAT IS THIS DESK?!?!
lol that "My God!" at 2:05, I feel ya, brother. I said the same thing as well. I imagine alot of us did, your tone, your level of awe, just the same haha
the difficulty selector is actually based off a old soviet program they had, that was like that the Pioneer Scouts, except with kompot instead of kiddy fiddling
yooo the hog 7 bossfight gave me a 'the incredibles' flashback. I have not thought once about that round machine with legs since, but as I watched this fight it all came back
The references to soviet culture are everywhere and as an ethnic Russian who grew up with those influences even in the US, it looks nostalgic as fug - some references may be lost on you tho - the evil pig character is Burzhui - a comic Bourgeoisie, and the cartoon immediately after is "nu pogodi" - basically translated as "well, wait a sec" among other things. The music is often remixed old soviet music. I haven't played video games apart from MOH, AOE2 and WOT, and even then that not in years, but I might buy this
I've seen so much negative reviews for this game from TH-camrs, but decided to make my own opinion and this game is great, has so much details,runs smooth has a great atmosphere and is just fun and refreshing aaaaand tall robot mommies
The negativity mostly comes from the anti-rus movement,since most of this soviet er stuff comes directly from mainland rus.(aka US is vilifying rus so every yt is paid to hate em at one point or another.)
@@tatfly5779 can't agree more. So many people I had trust in(like, Mark Rober or Johnny Harris) have been playing as a propaganda agenda for the past year, talking shit when it's inappropriate(like, so out of topic in relation to the video). This is mind boggling
Just finished up this game yesterday. For anyone on the fence, I'd say it's worth it based just on astounding visuals, music, and story alone. I had a great time with it.
Bioshock infinity, fallout, system shock, Prey(2018), maybe a bit from half life series(that COOL intro in the boat) i dont know i see stuff from here and there
@@SketchAndEtch yea thats why People are loving it, also 2K FUCKED UP all bioshock feanchise whit a retarded update and now the 3 bioshock games are un playable, so this was carrying the Dreams and hopes of many in pc, it was great that it is as the trailers show
Infinite kinda streamlined a lot of gameplay aspects, it's also faster paced. Some people seem to think the original bioshock is clunky because its a slow paced shooter but the original was purposely slower paced and same goes for this game. I'd say this is more of a morph between prey and fallout to be honest but it is very good.
Very impressed with this, to be honest, I only knew about this game is it was getting closer to release and I gotta say I like what I saw in the video so far.
I'll have one more video before the month is over then next month is resident evil 4 remake baby

Not "horray, they not dealing with this shit anymore!"
UPD:
I checked right now - protagonist said "это сколько ж нужно терпения, чтобы столько жить?", literally "how much patience does it have to live so (130-150 years) long?"
0:49 This is a reference to the keyboard player Oleg Parastaev from the Alliance band. Press F.
What's the name of the song.

The game is unbelievable! I've been playing for 10 hours now, it's impossible to tear myself away!
This game is a visual masterpiece and only after that an actually good game with some minor downsides. A hell of a debut project!
Agreed. Some minor gripes but overall I find it very fun.
That one-handed shotgun animation kinda won me over honestly; that shit is crisp
This feels like wolfenstein mixed with bioshock and I am 110% here for it
Yeah, you don't hear much about Wolfenstein these days, but this definitely reminded me so much of it. Both regimes have a certain style to them, both discovering technology far beyond their time in and around WW2. The difference in tactics is what really gets me. Robots and Ubersoldaten in Wolfenstein are built for war straight up, mirroring how the Third Reich just took over everything without even trying to disguise their intentions. The Communists in Atomic Heart are choosing a more subtle approach in their invasion, hiding their army behind the guise of maintenance and service robots, kind of like making an army out of Mr. Handy robots from Fallout 4.
To me it's mix of BioShock, Wolfenstein, Prey and Resident Evil
Works well
7:31 that's water dispenser. Tap up hand sink, to be precise;
8:00 that's a hut on fowl's legs (Baba Yaga's hut, which has reference in Baba Zina);
11:13 that's professor Dowell's Head (written by Alexander Belyaev).
Ура, я так рада, что наконец-то кто-то из популярных ютьюберов прошёл Атомик! Спасибо за видео, Indeimaus!
И да, русская озвучка - идеальна
I just wanted you to know I think you are one of the best gaming TH-camrs out there. Your production value is insane. It's on par with Markiplier and Jacksepticeye, the big dogs. Which is why it doesn't make sense to me that you have such a small subscriber count compared to them. I think you deserve more recognition for your work and creativity.
Agreed I’ve been watching Indei for like 6 or 7 years now and out of everyone I’ve seen in the gaming sphere he’s hands down my favorite!
I remember when all of his video titles had to have SOULS in the title somewhere. Very different to now. He’s still pretty good at the content though.
Each video he puts out just makes me more and more suspicious that he’s the *real* mastermind behind the correctional facility civvie is in.
The 'lady dimitrescu' effect is what is happening with the twins rn-
The boss fight track is called PT-1X12 but wasn't by Mick, Geoffrey Day composed that one. Gordon's tracks aren't available yet.
9:24 man this soundtrack is amazing
3:13 give it up for AK-granny overe here. She knows 2 things, baking cookies and shooting bastards
This outro song takes me back. Love it as always
As someone who is terrified of mannequins and robots, this game is absolutely horrifying. (But I would totally watch you do a full playthrough.)
There is something very cool about how most Bioshock style games will give you some kind of wrench or other handyman tool as your melee weapon, and Atomic Heart just goes nahhh, here's a HUGE AXE, GO WILD
Man you are pumping out videos this year. Love your work man, keep the bangers coming
I'm absolutely loving the game, I've seen people say the gameplay is sub par but I've had no problems myself so far! It definitely scratches that Bioshock itch for me but has its own twist which is soo good! The gunplay feels really good and I don't get why people hate the melee so much.. its better than it is in most games for me.
baba yaga little robot house was so cute xD
I’ve just now started acknowledging some of the props in the desk-talk segments of your videos. Is that a CRT?! Is that a LANDLINE?! WHAT IS THIS DESK?!?!
"A little chicken house?"
Uh oh...Indei just found the Baba Yaga and it cursed for eternity.
I dont understand the critics tbh
This game looks incredible and the story is intersting
lol that "My God!" at 2:05, I feel ya, brother. I said the same thing as well. I imagine alot of us did, your tone, your level of awe, just the same haha
The aesthetics of this game is absolute fire, damn
Just like indeimaus said: this is Mundfish's first game. I think we got ourselves a great video game company for the next decade, just saying
The twin robots are hot, don't get me wrong, but the vending machine gonna make me act up I swear
Absolutely stunning plot, action, vibes, and originality! Game of the year indeed. 10 out of 10/
the difficulty selector is actually based off a old soviet program they had, that was like that the Pioneer Scouts, except with kompot instead of kiddy fiddling
it's based on gachimuchi meme
The old outro is back! This is the outro i remember when i first discovered your channel, feels like a long time
Just looking at the aesthetic of the game brings back a lot of my child memories
yooo the hog 7 bossfight gave me a 'the incredibles' flashback. I have not thought once about that round machine with legs since, but as I watched this fight it all came back
6:37 I saw that one second freeze and just Indei's brain going "OH FUCK, THAT ONES GONNA FOLD ME LIKE A CAMPING CHAIR!" XDDDDD
The references to soviet culture are everywhere and as an ethnic Russian who grew up with those influences even in the US, it looks nostalgic as fug - some references may be lost on you tho - the evil pig character is Burzhui - a comic Bourgeoisie, and the cartoon immediately after is "nu pogodi" - basically translated as "well, wait a sec" among other things. The music is often remixed old soviet music.
I haven't played video games apart from MOH, AOE2 and WOT, and even then that not in years, but I might buy this
I've seen so much negative reviews for this game from TH-camrs, but decided to make my own opinion and this game is great, has so much details,runs smooth has a great atmosphere and is just fun and refreshing aaaaand tall robot mommies
The negativity mostly comes from the anti-rus movement,since most of this soviet er stuff comes directly from mainland rus.(aka US is vilifying rus so every yt is paid to hate em at one point or another.)
@@tatfly5779 can't agree more. So many people I had trust in(like, Mark Rober or Johnny Harris) have been playing as a propaganda agenda for the past year, talking shit when it's inappropriate(like, so out of topic in relation to the video). This is mind boggling
Maybe, just maybe if Mundfish didn't take any money from Gazprom...
Oh well, time to pirate this game to not support war efforts of Russia.
@@tatfly5779 Russia does it to itself by its actions.
@@coldcoder3138 so did America a lot more times than any country in the world,never heard this kind of "outrage" against them.
I really wanna see you do a full playthrough of this.
Femdom vending machine is a kink that has now been awoken and i feel dirty
7:30 It's water dispenser, we use them on dachas mostly.
Kudos to the editor for the very careful selective editing on That Scene. What was shown is only like, a quarter of the insanity...
I tell ya everything Mick touches turns badass.
The skill upgrade videos just sold me.
That musician robot in the beginning was fucking banger dude
ngl just the fact that the game was finished is a surprise
It’s a damn shame that THATS the state of videogames these days.
“Looks like the music video for Falling in Reverse”
*watches someone gets cut in half with heat vision*
“Hey I know which video you’re talking about!”
This is no more crazy than real life at this point.
On Atomic Hearts video with a Falling in Reverse reference?
You really wanted to made the most February 2023 video ever.
I like how super man was a collective hallucination and Falling in reverse actually invented eye lasers
9:16 Fun fact: this was like the one boss theme that wasn't made by Mick Gordon
Man this game is cool as. As long as I have Russian voices on and not the cringy English dub, it’s such an awesome experience.
Anybody know the name of the song that plays at 0:49?
Dvrst"Komarovo"
@@ТимофейКуликов-я5я not quite, but thank you.
Just finished up this game yesterday. For anyone on the fence, I'd say it's worth it based just on astounding visuals, music, and story alone. I had a great time with it.
And the plot twists too. God damn they took me by surprise
I always watch Indeimaus vids til the end to hear the absolute banger of an outro
From just watching this video this game gives off Bioshock Infinite vibes. Seems to be one of the big inspirations for this game
Bioshock infinity, fallout, system shock, Prey(2018), maybe a bit from half life series(that COOL intro in the boat) i dont know i see stuff from here and there
It's way better than Infinity to be honest. Both the atmosphere and the gameplay closer resemble the original Bioschock.
@@SketchAndEtch yea thats why People are loving it, also 2K FUCKED UP all bioshock feanchise whit a retarded update and now the 3 bioshock games are un playable, so this was carrying the Dreams and hopes of many in pc, it was great that it is as the trailers show
Infinite kinda streamlined a lot of gameplay aspects, it's also faster paced. Some people seem to think the original bioshock is clunky because its a slow paced shooter but the original was purposely slower paced and same goes for this game. I'd say this is more of a morph between prey and fallout to be honest but it is very good.
It’s almost been two years since the Halo ce video you still haven’t given us that Halo 2 yet
I still have halo masterchief installed, it's only a matter of time!
Very impressed with this, to be honest, I only knew about this game is it was getting closer to release and I gotta say I like what I saw in the video so far.
0:42 Is that Neverhood music ! Fookin hell this takes me back a lot...
Callisto protocol is inspired by dead space and atomic heart is definitely inspired by bioshock
Thank you so much for the editing, wanted to see your take on this and still enjoy my first playthrough.
7:59 - This Robo-House-Chicken is Reference to Baba Yaga, couse she lives in a house on big chicken leg.
that last shot would even make Sallie blush
Holy shit thanks yo your video i managed to find my childhood show Nu pogodi at 4:59. I thought I would never find it again but here it is.
I love those live action video inserts. They remind me of games like myst. I wish there as more of it in gaming.
This game is Gorgeous. I had my doubts since Cyberpunk, but damn. I'm getting chills and shakes, and that's not just from the alcohol withdraws. LOL
holy shit it feels like its been so long since i heard "We Love to Party" for the outro. honestly, liking for that alone.
noice didnt expect a new video this soon!!!
Yo no way thats Nu Pogodi at 4:58 I always watched this when I was a kid. Thank you for that memory. Is that really in the game or edited in?
really in game
This isn’t actually their first game, they made a few VR games in the same universe before this.
The wolf and rabbit cartoon is called Nu Pogodi, they used to play it on TV when i was a kid, it's very funny. 😁
This game made me realize that a Westworld game would go so hard. I need one ASAP 😩
3:12 THERE IT IS HE SAID IT!! HE SAID THE THING!!
It's been 84 years...
This game reminds me of Bioshock a bit, if robots were much more prevalent. It's good to see it looks legitimately fun as well.
They it’s very cool they wear it on their sleeve too! At one point they even make a reference to rapture
When there is a grandma character firing a kalashnikov and yelling out "Eat Shit and Die!" to corrupted robots, I'm sold.
This game looks freaking amazing an I've only just started watching lol
I love the vibe of indeimaus videos
