The worst part about this game is that war crimes are framed as inevitable. I literally can’t progress in the game without gunning down civilians or shooting white phosphorous at the troops™
The justification is "not playing the game is also a choice" which is very silly, you can't do an artistic message that involves the 4th wall like that (at least in Spec Ops' particular case; obviously just not playing the game isn't an option IRL, so it undercuts its resonance with reality).

People talk about the WP scene, but I actually think the better one is where a mob surrounds one of your squad members. I'm not gonna lie, I absolutely fired in to the crowd before learning they disperse if you fire warning shots and felt pretty ashamed.
