Few games have made me laugh as hard as Religion Inc.. This game is a brilliant satire that exposes religion in a way that doesn't stray far from the truth. The objective is simple: create a religious movement with the end goal of converting the entire world into faithful fanatics.

Along the way, you can upgrade your religion by unlocking new aspects to strategically overcome challenges. These made me laugh, but at the same time despair knowing how close to reality they are. You can make your religion more peaceful or warmongering, open or secretive, etc. While making sure the atheism counter doesn’t reach 100%, otherwise you lose.

This game takes a lot of elements from Plague Inc.. The gameplay involves obtaining skill points in order to strategically use in these paths. If you enjoyed that game, you will enjoy this one. Overall I can’t recommend Religion Inc. enough. If you are devoutly religious, you will probably be offended. But I think anyone can learn something from the way these organizations use sneaky and immoral tactics to gain power and control.
