This is exactly the kind of game that will make you want to learn Russian.

Это именно та игра, которая вызовет у вас желание изучать русский язык.

Это именно та игра, которая вызовет у вас желание изучать русский язык.

It sounds awkward and robot-like, because you translated it word by word. I'd say "Та самая игра, после которой вы захотите выучить русский язык". This way sounds more human.

I don't know about this game, but Soviet sci-fi is the best sci-fi.

Played it.
Revio above is accurate - combat is bearable, levelups are lackluster, but interesting part is time management - there is shedule of key NPC who move across locations and sometimes something happen with them, so there are choices where to go and where to go from previous wheretogo point, also probably only matter for first day out of three?
Stats - I have no idea what they do, like, in dialogs they are sometimes appear, but not clear lines they deliver exist only for fluff or gives something. In some scripted parts like traversing crashed freighter you need some stats to not lose you robot and thus time, but so far it's the only place I got that.
What consumables do is unclear - so far things like +% speed looks like times out too fast to matter OR gor cleared if you got hit - which should be a bug.
I would prefer less consumables with longer time, and more meanigful effects.
So far, tried Intellect build - gives almost nothing? didn't finish gamedue bug on Titan.
Also tried Charisma/Luck build - died, decided to chill the fuck out a bit to get more idea anbout time management stuff aka where to go, as combats early could be slog and I donn't want to repeat that many times.
