I mean, it doesn't look that great, but honestly, the bigger issue is that they're trying to shoot down The Witcher III.

Like, okay. Everyone would like to make The Witcher III, and if game studios could consistently churn them out, they would. That's not an implementation problem, but a project proposal issue.

I think it'd be easier to find some kind of existing successful game made in Russia and then go create new content for that with whatever political message the Kremlin wants to push, and provide free copies of that.

Two that I know of that made decent games is K-D Lab that made Perimeter and Vangers (both open sourced and recently remastered), and Nikita responsible for the Parkan series. They're not by any means greatest hits but they're unique and worth checking out.

EDIT: And oh, Pathologic by Ice-Pick Lodge too, but I haven't played those. Those seem funky and definitely not for everyone.

EDIT2: There's apparently a list of Russian made games on Wikipedia , good to know.
