Thanks! I appreciate it. :)

And yeah same here. There very much was a point I just rolled my eyes and went "FINE. You got something to say, just say it already." I think we're just sensitive to being cheaply manipulated by media lol!

Actually one more game on my mind that did this well: Metro 2033. Incredible atmosphere, and the "moral" is very nuanced. It's one of those things that feels profound when it hits you and most people weren't even aware there was a "moral system." (No shame in looking up which actions help get the good ending)

I highly recommend it.

I love the Metro series; I played 2033 near its release, beaten Exodus three times (once at release and 2x after release of the Enhanced edition) and just recently beat Last Light Redux. I should probably play 2033 Redux now.

Closely related, Iโ€™m very excited for STALKER 2; Shadow of Chernobyl was my first love back in 2008 and Iโ€™ve played all three of those a bunch of times.
