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?

why? the game does not have any theory or understanding about communism. It only use communism aesthetic to tell a completely liberal story.

I interpret a lot of the background story as communist.

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.

Russia != USSR
