These tonal 180s happen often throughout the game, and I never really knew how to feel. The next, the Major will talk about "crispy critters" or pick up a phone to prank call some hapless Soviet citizen. One moment, the Major and Charles finish lamenting a gruesome scene of humans beaten to death by robots (and telling you their horrifying last moment, thanks to their neural implants). But the humor clashes terribly with the tone of the story. That's not a terrible thing, and I even had a sensible chuckle or two.
Instead of examining the ramifications of an alternate Soviet Union holding hegemony over the world, the game spends a good deal of the time telling jokes. Unfortunately, Atomic Heart doesn't utilize its premise to the fullest.
