I'm not really a gamer and I don't have a gaming computer per se, but I'm curious as to whether I should buy it or not. (Ukraine govt. is trying to ban it, which means it's probably based, but the reviews involving a literal robot refrigerator trying to SA you mildly concern me)
Its not really based, one of the main things of the game is that the soviet people are being turned into mindless drones through a massive neural network and only the politburo will be able to think freely. Also the refrigerator thing is probs nothing to Be worried about, the worst of it is how awkward it is to listen to a voice actor say pervy shit to the main character. Besides that the soviet aesthetics are beautiful, and it's fun overall; would reccomend
To be fair to Atomic Heart, the concerns of people turning into mindless drones because of a Neural Network is presented as a hyper-paranoid unreasonable fear.
