Who?
played the sensational computer game “Troubles” and praised it highly. Remeslo shared his opinion on his Telegram channel.

“I also got to the sensational game “Smoot.” The game definitely deserves attention, I didn’t regret the money spent. Gorgeous graphics, landscapes, characters' faces. The very idea of ​​​​creating a game on a similar topic already deserves praise - popularizing the patriotic history of our country is a good thing,” he wrote.

Craft noted that immediately after the release of the game, a number of media outlets, recognized in Russia as foreign agents, immediately burst out with biased reviews. According to the expert, the task of these publications is not to criticize, but to discredit. He added that the reasons for such a reaction are quite understandable, because the key idea of ​​the game is to resist the Polish invasion, that is, the West’s attempt to destroy Russia.
A serious attempt by Poland to invade Russia does seem a tad fantastical, but then computer games are fantasies. And even the USDOD has seriously wargamed the invasion of Canada, among others, so being unrealistic in that sense does not seem a credible objection.
“It was this “anti-Polish” discourse that was the main reason why foreign agents were incited into the game with the support of bots,” the expert said.

The expert noted that Troubles is a worthy replacement for previously dominant Western games. In his opinion, the appearance of the first big game based on a Russian work, on the theme of Russian history, should be welcomed.

The release of the computer game “Troubles,” which is dedicated to the events of 1612, when the people’s militia drove the Polish invaders out of Moscow, took place in early April.

As Regnum reported, in July 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that computer games should help a person develop, as well as instill in people universal human values ​​and “unleavened patriotism.”

He later noted that it was important to create content, including video games, in which Russia would be presented from the most attractive side. Such games should include respect for the history and traditions of Russia, for parents and for the country itself, the president said.

In February 2024, the former captain of the Russian national football team, Andrei Arshavin, asked the head of state to assist in the development of a Russian computer football simulator. The appearance of an analogue of the FIFA game would provide an opportunity for those who wish to play for the Russian national team and teams of the Russian Premier League, Arshavin noted.
