So, there's Outer Worlds.

Dishonoured would be if it wasn't all about saving the monarchy.

Anyone played We Happy Few? Trying to decide whether to buy it.

Disco Elysium - cos you can do fuckin whatever.

    black flag is pretty anti imperialist as assassins creed games go. playing a native american who goes and axe kills british troops while leading a pirate crew is about as left as you can go back then

    also, very pretty game and the naval combat is probably the best in any game

      I think you're conflating AC3 with Black Flag. The pirate is Welsh, not native. Even though he eventually sides with the Native adherents of the Brotherhood (after slaughtering quite a lot of them). It is a very fun game though, probably the most fun of all AC games. There is a sequel called Freedom Cry that has you as a runaway slave captaining a pirate ship and building a maroon commune.

          Yeah that was AC3. But the entire AC lore is so convoluted by now that it is impossible to keep up with all the twists and turns. 🤣

              Right? Marx and Lenin good, but fucking Queen Victoria is good as well and we need to protect the benevolent British monarchy, which needs to be overthrown by the American Revolution which is good, but the French Revolution - yeah that one's totally evil. 🤪

              I think it just reflects design by committee, with the committee's explicit goal to maximise sales, so they just try to gauge where the popular sentiment lies regarding each individual conspiracy, to still have a veneer of edginess but provoke as few people as possible.
