But in all seriousness I think people came down way too hard on this game. The writing is mad good- (like only Disco Elysium and NV really compare to it good) and I love wandering around a cool cyberpunk city as my Skin Diamond lookalike mercenary

Unfortunately I feel like any message or intent is rendered meaningless when the means to produce the game run so blatantly counter to them. Almost as if the story is just focus group tested branding.
Maybe I’m being overly idealist but I’d rather have genuine braindead centrism over hollow manufactured leftism 9 times out of 10. At least I know I can feel good hating it.
The "leftist themes" of cyberpunk (especially the stuff from the 80's) is mad overblown by lefties nowadays. The dude who made the game who's name escapes me now is an 80's cyberpunk guy and this game follows that theme. That means capital already won decades ago and the only thing you can really do about it is try and make your end nicer. Kinda like Neuromancer or Hardwired
Good to know I haven’t played a ton of games recently so I’m def talking about things beyond my expertise. Only new thing I’ve played is subnautica, and unknown worlds certainly looks par for the course company wise despite their own anti-capitalist storylines.
