Best Russian Games From Russian Developers
In the past, Russia released quite a few interesting computer and console titles, but today there are almost no domestic development studios creating popular single-player games. The rich history of Russian game development has become rather sparse, and most modern projects are mainly mobile and multiplayer games (MMOs and shooters).
Some Russian games released in previous decades still evoke a genuine sense of nostalgia among some gamers, and some new titles from Russian indie studios spark hope that one day domestic game development will be revived.
This list features the best games from Russian developers, regardless of genre and release year.
