Cyberpunk 2077 obviously does. Also many aspects of Persona 5 and the Fallout games to varying degrees

some of the Grand Theft Autos & RDR2.

like, there are minority (racial and/sexual) characters and they might go talk about some of the horrible stuff they experienced, and the protagonist will listen to them and not speak over them about it.

also, Watch Dogs 2.

The Disco Elysium devs literally thanked Marx at the (i think) Game Awards?

There's also "Tonight We Riot" which I think is literally about a workers uprising to seize the means of production.

EDIT: Iconoclasts also sort of fits in, mostly because of the characters.

Max Payne 3 was pretty anti-capitalist.

In Europe, Bernie would be considered right-wing.

I guess it depends on what you mean by spin. I think of it as taking a stance on a current political issue and not just mouthing off about the environment or something.

I never played it but apparently Spec Ops The Line is nothing but anti-Iraq War prattle.

Define "leftist"

Dragon Age and Fable as series' have pretty heavy pro LGBT and anti capitalist themes.

Conservative options are always viewed as "evil"

Inclusive options are always viewed as "good"

Often to ridiclous degrees. In Fable 3 for example draining a pretty lake so everyone doesn't die horribly is seen as the "evil" option because it's bad for the enviroment.

Almost all of them.

Art and entertainment in general is left-leaning

Probably because the right keeps trying to ban it every few seconds

I'm so glad I can still play games without thinking about politics. It's already bad enough it creeps into my subconscious when watching shows/movies. Not bad, just, I want to enjoy a story sometimes and not try to have some political spin going on in my head at all times.

What game doesn't have a left lean to it?

Mario?

You play as a blue collar white male seeking out a princess for her wealth and beauty, collecting coins and solving problems through violence while appreciating natural backgrounds far removed from city life. Also, no racial diversity.

True, unfortunately.

If you played even 5 minutes of the game, you'd see how. It's one of the most overt examples out there

Did you ignore all of the LGBT characters and all of the blatant criticism towards mega-corporations? How several cyberpsychos emerged due to being screwed over by their employer? The sidequest where a guy's religious repentance is exploited for entertainment by a mega-corporation?

2064: Read-Only Memories.

Saw someone play it and it seemed like just about every dialogue in the game was about someone's - or in one case, something's - gender. (The "something" being a robot.) To the point that it was very easy to forget there was any actual storyline. It's a great example of how not to do diversity in games.
