Buka was great, indeed. Unfortunately, it died in 2008 and was acquired by 1C, which revived it somewhat. And 1C now is only "official" game translator (but game market practically died outside of Steam, especially after 2014th currency crisis provoked by Russian-Ukrainian war).

But that is a rare exception for a purely English game, mind you.

There are several Russian translations praised by fans, but they are non-English mostly. Polish games (including whole Witcher series) traditionally better in Russian than in English, and some Chinese/Japanese/Korean games too.

Also, specifically as a recommendation for Yoga - Tyranny imo beats both Pillars of Eternity games, while being also from Obsidian. More masterpiece?

I missed: did you two played Divinity: Original Sin 2? Recommended. It's not without its own quirks (I hate their idea of "multi-solved" quests, for example, that takes away any challenge), but game is very good.
