I don't know the actual name, but in my history class (the great patriotic war) we watched a soviet era law film about a defence lawyer being chosen for a show trial, I think set during the 30's) and how he tries to treat it seriously and defends his client and does everything right and gets evidence his client is innocent (obvious given it's a show trial) and runs smack into the authorities who, I can't remember the ending, I don't think he dies or gets punished for trying too hard, but his client definitely gets the wall.

I want to say the name was something like "defence lawyer 'insert Russian name here'".

I can't even remember if it was good, but it didn't seem actively bad. If anyone can figure out the title that'd be cool, it was over 15 years ago when I got my degree and it was just like a soft class the professor gave us during term paper round up so I have such vague memories of it.

Edit: I looked myself and it appears to be "My Friend Ivan Lapshin". Edit edit: it may not be this, it seems vaguely possible but it's too hard to identify as this doesn't have anything to do with the lawyer angle, but is set in time period I recall.

I do not much care for Bloodborne. The combat does not work for me, I need a block to enjoy combat. So I've never even played old hunters, but I've seen like 4 streamers play it completely. It seems okay. But it can't be me. Also I loathe the Victorian cosmic horror aesthetic so the game was just pushing against me with everything. I got to the mind palace boss fight and tapped out.

Ringed city is god damn amazing though and I need to replay it. That Gael fight is just superb, midir such a joy.

I'd put shadow behind ringed city. Old hunters falls into the void of never playing it.

slice & dice is an extremely fun rogue Lite type party based game where you roll and lock dice that have your abilities on them. Many clever synergies for items and abilities to make obscenely overpowered builds to annihilate the last bosses. Then story over to do it again. There's no progression mechanics. But you do unlock things to play with as you accomplish things in the game. Has 4 difficulties and a dozen alternate gameplay modes. It has a demo with half a run in it. And it's about 5 bucks to buy the whole thing. That all you'll pay. Try demo if you don't like walk away.
