Five projects that don't let go until the credits: from story-driven open-world action games to atmospheric indies where everything rests on music and light. This isn't a "weekend list" but games that many people play through twice — and find new details.
A separate question is how to buy them from Russia. There are ways: Turkish and Kazakh accounts, gift cards, discs, resale. Each has its own pros and risks, and it's important not to run into a seller who disappears after payment. Buy from those who are visible and stand behind the result.
The consoles themselves aren't eternal either: overheating, noise, a failed disc drive or a bent connector after a bad repair happen more often than you'd like. When the console starts whining like a turbine, the enjoyment of the game ends — and it's better not to let it get to that point.
Our hero in the workshop has seen such cases hundreds of times and knows: sometimes it's cheaper to repair than to buy a second one.
