The first game I played that really wanted to talk about racism and it decided to spend it’s time saying is “black people can be bad too”. I didn’t think much of it then and I don’t now.
Defensive much? I find myself being very suspicious of this opposing narrative. I’m not up to speed on this these days, but I remember Keza MacDonald being generally outstanding in her betrayal portrayal of events in video games culture.
It’s highly likely, but the getting there is definitely worth it. The game is half the story though. It feels like it stops in the middle, albeit after a significant enough plot point to give you some satisfaction. The game is incredible though and I’d definitely take that version over nothing at all.
