Yes I know that fascism 
is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it.

those games are kind of all over the place politically and don't reach any meaningful conclusions. They exemplify the liberal "both sides" mentality though, absolutely. They're good if you want to explore that angle, because I don't even know if it's by design, but Ken Levine is very clearly what MLK Jr. referred to as a white moderate. They're kind of like the ultimate liberal games, where you're supposed to draw no conclusions other than feel bad and believe all political motivation is incorrect.
"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"" - MLK Jr, letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963
Bioshock Infinite is this explicitly, where the negative peace of Columbia's typical existence is presented as superior than the violent revolution waged by the Vox Populi. The game condemns both sides, but condemns the leftist side harder.
Ken Levine is an oil company-defending libertarian I thought.
He is, but he's the worst kind of libertarian. He's the high minded kind who always believes in a middle ground compromise. Same ideology as the South Park guys
