Communists in video games are typically either depicted as faceless goons for target practice or evil baby killers. Have you guys found any fair and balance or at least interesting depiction of communist in video games?
Since this is a lemmy instance for ML after all. Is there any games that you think fellow comrades should checkout?
Papers, please. This was dystopian but it still felt like it captured the banality of some of communism’s negative side rather than just creating moustache twirling villains.
While the game is pretty fun and the banality is the point, I feel like it doesn’t have a lot of things to say about communism itself. You can swap it out for any failing country and it would just work the same.
Atomic Heart
why? the game does not have any theory or understanding about communism. It only use communism aesthetic to tell a completely liberal story.
The beginning of the game is damn near communist propaganda. I will admit I haven’t played all the way through it, but it definitely tries to paint communist Russia in a positive light right from the start.
Bunch of people having fun in a modern city is propaganda? damn, I can’t believe how much the USA have tried to lie to me. Thank you so much comrade for opening my eyes to those capitalist lies /s
communist Russia
Russia != USSR
Seems like a pedantic distinction
