| Topic | I'm so sick of politics in my games |

It explores a concept that is itself very political by extrapolating results to the extreme and letting you explore the aftermath. It even has a character that explicitly espouses political views in Andrew Ryan, but it generally follows the show, not tell approach to letting an individual player decide whether the ideology is fundamentally flawed or the execution, and characters behave in ways that would be reasonable given their perspective. A game that pushes politics would be something like Tonight We Riot, where the developers have explicitly stated that the purpose is to be anti capitalism and the mechanics are designed make that point apparent as possible in all aspects of the game. As a bonus, a game that is a bit of both is Metal Gear Solid. Most of the game contains politics, but Kojima is also famous for having a character kill a half hour near the end of his games to more or less just tell the player the point of the message that he was trying to get across. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
