This has got to be, bar none, one of the most anti-capitalist games I've played in my life. I don't know if that was the intention or not but I feel like it would be impossible for someone to play this game through and not become deeply cynical about modern corporate culture, or consumerism in general. It is an ode to the seemingly inescapable trend of enshitification, masquerading as a video game. It's incredible...
retro city rampage wish it was this game. it has early gta vibes, actually fun to play, very topical humor, and addicting tycoon elements
