Games made by a lot of people tend to have sprawling, unfocused themes, but Metaphor really lasers in on the different types of bad politicians and why it’s important to never elect them:
Racial supremacist with a military fetish
Two different religious conservatives
Anti-tax libertarian who’s never heard of economics
Useful idiot
Just mimics whatever a more popular candidate says
Wants to kill the rich, but is more likely to kill the rich’s servants
Very concerned about the moral failings of young people these days
Thinks he can just buy the election
Only in it to promote her business
Ecofascist
Racial minority candidate who’s genuinely good, but the political machine is built to keep him from ever getting elected
And looming over all of it, the incredibly popular guy who keeps saying he’ll help the poor and stamp out the oppressors, while obviously being an oppressor who gets poor people killed.
