As always in capitalism, video games have largely deformed from an art form into just another means to generate profit for large corporations

A few (good and one time buy) games off the top of my head (is that how you use the expression/idiom?):

Obviously commie games:

  • Disco Elysium
  • Cruelty Squad

Might or might not be commie, but definitely progressive:

  • Bioshock series

honourable mentions:

  • Vitoria 3 (who would have thought that a democratically controlled and publicly owned economy would be meta? does have a nasty dlc policy tho)
  • Partisans 1941 (you play the story of soviet partisans on the eastern front, what more is there to say?)
  • everything from the studio "Kremlingames" (they make political sims about eastern block countries, without glorifying them)
  • Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic (eastern block "City: Skylines")
  • VA-11 Hall-A (good vn in a cyberpunk dystopia, does not rly have a political theme tho iirc)
