Protagonist P-3, a KGB agent, is equipped with a glove that completely levels the playing field.

Moreover, a few seconds of skill-tree footage revealed Atomic Heart&#8217;s deep RPG-inspired progression system. The first-person action is intentionally discombobulating to emphasize the game&#8217;s horror motifs \u2013 despite having an assortment of mind-bending powers, agent P-3 is entirely out of his depth.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Mick Gordon, the musical mind behind 2016&#8217;s Doom, brings his talents to Atomic Heart&#8217;s heart-pumping score.
