It is here at the end of the Red Car that Charles Drake built the Long Beach Bath House, a regal looking Greek Revival style building that housed a 60 by 120 foot concrete pool that became known as The Plunge. Los Angeles had grown at the turn of the century, and the seaside town of Long Beach had just connected with the bustle of LA with the famous Red Car from Pacific Electric, and those in the city could now easily find their way to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Let’s take a trip back in time, all the way back to 1902. Upon closer inspection, it is no rollercoaster, just bridge built to look like one. Just be careful, as driving a car gets you more attention from the game’s robots.Towering above shops like H&M, Forever 21, and The Gap is what appears to be a rollercoaster, yet no cars race by, and no screams of riders can be heard. This traveling method can also push you to explore more and stumble across valuable loot in different Testing Grounds. You can jump in a car and immerse yourself in the beauty of the surrounding Soviet landscapes. Still, it doesn’t mean you must go everywhere on foot, which would take forever despite the Atomic Heart map size. Or it could very well be that the game’s map is not big enough, especially when compared to some other modern games.
The game takes place in an alternate-universe rendering of the Soviet Union in the 1950s, which would make fast travel just a tad too unrealistic. The reasoning behind this could be that there were no justifiable methods to include zooming between two points in a blink of an eye. The game doesn’t include any system that allows you to teleport from one location to another instantly. Unfortunately, fast traveling is not possible in Atomic Heart.
