Notes -
Are there are any recent good video games that are actually somewhat "based and truth-pilled"? It's rare that I find something I really enjoy, something that's actually clever and makes me laugh. Disco Elysium did that. But the AAA scene is pretty dire. I'm not looking for a game with right wing sentiments. Just something that is a little more intelligent and doesn't follow timepleasing liberal dogmas.
Bonus points if the game has pretty good production values.
You’re going to have to be more specific. Disco Elysium is a fiendishly clever, bitter, political game. Which parts of that make it “based?” What does “truth-pilled” even mean?
Clever and bitter feels like a niche that should be occupied, but I’m struggling to come up with anything. Dark humor, perhaps. Roguelikes such as Cataclysm might have a really bleak, evocative setting, but they’re sandboxes for the player, not statements. I think bitterness implies a certain intent on the authors’ part.
Bitter/political, maybe something like Papers Please? This War of Mine? I think this is the realm of deeply personal traumas or niche art games. Indie material. Maybe wordier CRPGs like Tyranny fall into this category.
For clever/political, I have a soft spot for Iconoclasts. Environmentalist, but not in a culture-war way. It’s a weird one.
