Haven’t seen any posts about them - I started playing them late last year, and while the politics are very liberal, it feels worth it with every enemy in the game just straight-up being a Nazi.

We’re on the same page there, for sure.
Political messages in video games - especially wrong ones and including shit ones - are a great way to get people talking politics. It also gets past the barriers of people who normally decline if you try to open with politics.
It’s worth playing (or watching playthroughs of) games like Wolfenstein and Atomic Heart if you can afford the time/money because it allows you to discuss them from a position of knowledge.
I don’t overthink the politics. I just enjoy decimating Nazis and going back to my roommate Jimi Hendrix.
Unfortunately I picked the route where you don’t get Jimi Hendrix - might have to try that next time around.
I have! In fact, I completed all of them (Youngblood included but not Cyberpilot) a while back; and gonna be honest, I didn’t notice the Liberalism until…
Minor Spoilers to The New Colossus
BJ started criticizing his Communist Allies (in The New Colossus) for “simply hating on Usonia and not joining the war (WW2 methinks) to ‘help’ Usonians fight back Nazis”. This is despite the fact that the Red Army were the ones to kick serious Nazi ass back then; Usonians and Britoids did sweet FA.
I really wish there was a more Communist-themed game where you slaughter Nazis. Nazi Extermination is a Leftist act, and Liberalism is anything but that.
