Spakoyno is basically the video game version of a so-bad-it's-good B-movie. It has weird, lazy and cheap art. The story makes Game of Thrones season 8 look coherent. The dialogue is bizarre (the title of this review is an actual quote). Oh, and it is definitely not politically correct in its treatment of women, gays and non-Russians. It all comes together in a wonderful way.
The story starts out with you living in either the USSR or a fictional country - the game constantly switches between the two. Some utterly random stuff happens and literally nothing makes sense. You get beaten up a few times, there's mafia, a revolution happens and then you and Russian Doctor Brown travel through time. You speak with the great Russian emperor Sunface (??), kill Jenghis Khan [sp] and stop an Inca from chasing you by throwing a pink comb at him.
So yeah, it's a real shame this was removed from the Steam store because now no one can shout "WTF?!" at the screen for 50 minutes while looking at "art" that looks like this:
