All the best games are not just political, but explicitly and unashamedly leftist.
- Disco Elysium
- The Metal Gear franchise
- Most of Borderlands
- Hitman World of Assassination trilogy
- Doom (2016)
- Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas (Bethesda ones less so)
EVE Online is an ACCIDENTALLY leftist game. It presents a society functioning entirely on right-wing free market capitalism. It's fricking miserable to play. It's a hellscape. Everything sucks. And that happened organically, as an inevitable outcome of its premise. You could argue, if you were a fricking idiot, that Bioshock isn't "really" leftist because the plot simply DECIDED that Andrew Ryan's libertarian utopia failed. EVE Online just said "okay have at it" and within five years major power players had literally recreated OPEC.
Most games, even if they're right-wing, are pretty low-key about it. They'll be vaguely nationalistic military fetishism like Call of Duty.
The right-wing mindset is a very poor fit for any kind of dev work, and most non-right-wing devs don't want to put that shit in their game. The main reason for this, of course, is that right-wingers are basically incapable of making art.
TL;DR: Former #G*mergater turned furry lolcow. The to
pipeline stays undefeated. She gets dunked on by leftoids, rightoids, and coomers

If there’s one thing rightoids are known for, it’s their obsession with trying to find new forms of energy

If a game portrays a government, military, or corporation in any kind of negative way, it’s obviously a political left wing game, duh.

If the game has a powerful main character it is Nietzschean

Depends, If it’s a bad unpopular game it’s a rightoid power fantasy that glorifies Nietzschean thinking, if it’s a good popular game then it’s a brilliant leftist deconstruction of games that are a rightoid power fantasy that glorifies Nietzschean thinking.

No sweaty that is the 2016 mindset and has since been updated.
Leftoids love those things now.
Government because they are "The Experts" who bring you "The Science" that tells you to stay inside and be afraid.
Military because they should be used against those Alt-Right Chuds that did a 9/11 on 1/6.
Corporations because they changed their US Twitter profile to have a pride flag in it.

Fricking Doom’s story was an afterthought made up in order to make the premise of “Marines but in space killing Demons” make sense.
