Further IF Comp reviews in far-off places

Just noticed a Russian IF Forum’s thread on IF Comp, alongside those already noted.

I can’t read Russian, but Babelfishing provides at least a general outline of what the reviewers thought, and gives their criticisms a curiously evocative quality. (One game is criticized for its “indistinct, greased finale”, another because the player found himself “breaking teeth against ferroconcrete pazly”.)
