Yes I know that fascism measurehead is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it. de-encyclopedia

Bioshock 1-3 maybe, especially 2 which is explicitly anticommunist. They're explicitly political games with some RPG aspects so they kinda' match Disco Elysium's genre.

Probably want to CW that one

Kingdom Come: Deliverance or whatever it is called. All white people, gritty brutality, and an absurd power fantasy for the may-as-well-be-chosen-one player

Fun game though.

I am not sure it is a great answer but do consider. GTA. The games are about cars, driving fast, might makes right, not caring about others, making fun of minorities, punishing deviant behavior, and the hypocritical doing said deviant behavior.

The GTA games are satire, but it's like how whatshisname said how it's not possible to make an anti-war movie. The action is too thrilling. The GTA games are too fun to meaningfully impart the satirical messages about American society.

Is the story in GTA not sympathetic to the struggles of urban dwelling minorities?

[-] TheDialectic@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sympathetic sure but also comedic in ways that can prevent any real critique

Crusader Kings, I think.
