I would've given this game a 3 - 3.5 stars prior to playing the first two games, but after playing 1&2 I have to bump this game wayyyyyyy down. The politics of these games have always been confused at best, but at least 1&2 had environment and atmosphere going for it.

This game though? Oh man.

I was young at the time I played this game and couldn't approach the theming of this game with the appropriate level of nuance (especially with regards to its political messaging) it required, but being older and reflecting on it, man did this game fall flat LOL.

This game is enlightened centrism and "both sides" at its finest! By trying to play both sides, it completely eats shit and fails to stand for anything which feels like a pretty big failure for a game that's supposed to be a political satire/critique lol. It doesn't even matter whether or not I agree with the game's politics or not because it doesn't say anything of substance -- there's nothing to agree or disagree with!

Go play Disco Elysium if you're interested in the intersection of political criticism and video games.
