    The Outer Worlds, one of my favorites. The messaging is a bit limited in its criticism of capitalism, but overall, it’s refreshing to see and it combines it with a game that is pretty brief and to the point (not getting bogged down in repeatable quests and such things). It’s also an RPG with choices that don’t always have black and white, good vs. evil answers, and that’s my favorite type of video game. And also, in spite of having some nuanced choices, it doesn’t do the enlightened centrism thing of making it sound like the clear worst faction of the game could be good ackshully; it’s pretty clear on that point and leaves more of the greyer stuff to side plots.
