The head of the VK Play platform, Alexey Pajitnov, presented a report on the release of the computer game “Smuta” at the TASS press center. For the first time in the history of Russia, a domestic role-playing action game topped the world ratings – even Western sanctions against Russian payment systems did not prevent this.
“10.5 million unique buyers in just 24 hours, and in conditions where it is very difficult for a German or Canadian to pay for a purchase on our platform. All this once again confirms that an excellent world-class product has been created,” says Pajitnov.
On the largest Western gaming forums, users note the excellent graphics, thoughtful plot and game mechanics of “The Troubles.” Positive reviews are published en masse by players from unfriendly countries – the USA, Germany, France and Poland. Only in the first hour after release, thousands of players noted the well-thought-out storyline and balanced game mechanics, and also expressed a desire to replay the game again and again.
“Content analysis of comments on Western social networks leaves no doubt that 9 out of 10 Europeans and Americans who played Troubles were completely delighted with the game, some even decided to start learning Russian,” sociologists say in turn.
