    Its a Russian studio releasing a game in 2023…there’s a reason you’ve never heard of it and it has nothing to do with the game.

    From what I have seen, it’s a pretty good game.

    Edit: this is why I like to remind Americans that nobody in other countries will care of you personally didn’t vote for trump.

      It was literally everywhere in the hype cycles.

      Source: I was alive. It was also quite literally on gamepass.

      It’s not a conspiracy 🙄

          Oh yea you’re right, forgot about that.

          It has nothing to do with the fact that it was completely mediocre and the protagonist was an insufferable douchebag.

          It’s the conspiracy, not the quality of the product. Lol.

              Yes, you’re absolutely correct. The bar is also in hell these days because of corporate greed.

                Yep…which makes me think that the relative lack of popularity has less to do with the game itself, and more the circumstance surrounding its release. There are much worse games that have much bigger audiences.

                Hell, the entire ‘controversy’ section on Wikipedia is basically “yeah, this game was made by Russians”
