"IGROPROM-2025": a brief photo review of the first day.

I understand that today is already the third day, and the information is not entirely relevant. But how can one create a topic dedicated to a gaming exhibition if they cannot access the website? And to make it in time when returning home at night, and have to process several hundred photos? Nevertheless, better late than never: not everyone has been able to see the numerous video broadcasts by bloggers? Let's get started!

This is the third "appearance" of Igroprom, and the first two did not have a separate business day. Therefore, on the first day, there weren't too many gamers and press representatives; nonetheless, they were awaited.

The largest presence among the presented games was occupied by "The Zemsky Sobor": a historical action game, with the release expected on the fourth of November this year.

"Sparta" was not overlooked; its creators won the award for best 3D graphics.

The "Playing Cats" were present - the authors of the famous strategy "Syria: Russian Storm" - with their new project "Hostomel Heroes."

The game's interface has changed slightly compared to "Syria"; the visuals have become clearer, and the camera can be zoomed in to highlight an individual fighter. The warriors have gained more independence: when under fire, they seek cover on their own; during an assault, only part of the squad rushes inside, while the rest provide cover from outside. Unfortunately, time constraints did not allow for a more detailed acquaintance with the game.

Of course, there were "Rus against Lizards-2" - where would we be without them?! - as well as other games.

The developers continue to "polish" the game "Song of the Spear"; the game is in early access.

Overall, there were quite a few games; I just didn't have enough time to familiarize myself with each one.

On the second floor of the complex, there was space for retro games: a bit too little space in my opinion. Those interested could play "Heretic," "Hexen: Beyond Heretic," "Wolfenstein 3D," "Quake," "Doom," and many others.

A separate area was occupied by arcade machines.

A fairly large space was allocated for Laser Tag.

The familiar name sparked a sharp bout of nostalgia for me – "Best Computer Games"… Ah...

Of course, the event was not limited to just games: the number of trade points, in my humble opinion, exceeded that of gaming points.

"Keyboards" are available, but where are the mice?!

Such a keyboard is easier to clean.

And once again, as before – "Bombora."

Buy a vest, I'm telling you!

Cheeses?! Seriously?! Let's see if anyone buys it at that price!

Blacksmiths are bored without customers...

It's empty at the "tabletop" area... For now, empty.

Since there's no one there - a little dog sleeps peacefully.

And for those who don't want to sleep, there are energy drinks. But not a whole can, just a little to try: at least from each type of can!

Judging by the considerably worn paddles, the little boat had the chance not only to decorate the exhibition.

A concert of "live music" - from games.

"Awarding of prizes" - in numerous nominations.

"Sparta" - best graphics.

"Slavania" - best in the "explore and jump" category.

"Saturn" - best role-playing experience. (Interesting, what was meant by this nomination?)

"Drakkar Crew" - best action game. (I agree, I played it.)

"Immortal. Tales of Old Russia" - provokes a strong desire to replay? I need to play it!

Let’s conclude on that note. Good luck to you all!
