Anyone have any favorite subversive/leftist games? There used to be a great one about the apple supply line where you had to move the nets to catch the guys jumping out of the factory in china and throw the e waste in a dumpster fire in pakistan. Banned from the app store of course lmao.

    Umurangi Generation, which I haven't played myself, but it seems to be pretty interesting - it's a photography game made by a Maori developer, about a future dystopia under siege by kaiju

    Hammer & Sickle, for which I'm just going to copy over a prior post on it

    I also recently played through G String, a kind of awkwardly titled cyberpunk FPS. I wasn't expecting anything special when I started it, I just thought the aesthetic looked cool, and then the intro cinematic was literally Martian anti-colonial resistance forces fighting NATO in space. The atmosphere's amazingly evocative - everything's decaying and falling apart, there's trash everywhere (including in space), enviromental destruction has progressed to the point where you basically have to be wearing a hazmat suit at all times. It's kind of jank at times, but it has good moments

      Umurangi Generation also has one of the best video game soundtracks I've ever heard. An 80+ track mixtape that mashes up every genre of 80s and 90s dance music.
