More about Russian Life Simulator
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 15 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2021 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 291 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 15 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 5,173 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 72 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 0.5 hours; clearing it takes 2, which is 3.0 times the campaign.

What players say
It's a janky, ridiculously dumb meme clicker where you spend an hour mashing the left mouse button just to collect bottles of vodka. The whole thing is pretty funny at first, but there's not much to the actual gameplay. Once you've seen all the joke upgrades, there isn't really much reason to keep playing. Still, it's an easy 100% if you care about achievements, and it works pretty well as a dumb little gag game...

Collect bottles, drink vodka, buy a bear and somehow call it a life simulator. Completely stupid, completely Russian and somehow genuinely entertaining.
It is a gag clicker. Cheap 100 achievements and cards, but nothing else. At least it is cheap
