The vilains are Russian and Soviets, and they use cyrilic alphabet wrong, as if it was a dead language and no one would see.
Ridiculous, i dont even know if i want to play this shit anymore…
Dont. Usually i dont do so if game does that and i dont find it funny. Here we call it “Cranberry” (Russia bad, Soviets bad etc.) And there is fine line between stareotypical portrayal and streight up propaganda. Examples can be the new rebooted COD:MW which is not even funny and straight up propaganda and say Red Alert series. IMO The tomb rider reboot game is cringe but not really as offensive as COD:MW. Its expected from western gamedev and there is nothing different from most games (from faux cyrillics to cringy sobiets bad) However i prefer to ignore games with messages like that and not waste my time on them.

Idk, being Russian I find all this stuff funny. Nothing extraordinary, our own propaganda here does the same kind of bullshit about the Soviets.
The game itself is IMHO not worth playing anyways, that Tomb Rider reboot series is meh and not worth your time anyways. You’re not losing much.
Yeah, i think its not worth to waste my time seeing capitalist propaganda while i could play some games with a nice history like The Last of Us, Doom (who was sent to mars after recusing to shoot a civilian), bioshock, etc…
it would be nice to see a list of games with anti-capitalism historys, without spoilers.

i think its okay to play something without some revolutionary endings. Its okay to see some nice plot twists, some vilains becoming heroes, or the heroes becoming villain, etc.
But portraing soviets as villains just for the lulz is pure imperialism propaganda.
maybe I expressed myself badly, the thing is, its sad to play a game, ‘become friends’ with a character, and then find out you will have to burn some soviet flag and steal some indigenous people, and see this beeing portraied as the hero.
I’ve never played tomb raider so I wanna see. (btw Cyrillic is an alphabet not a language)
Cyrillic is an alphabet not a language
thanks for rectifying
But anon, everything is Superstructure, you shouldn’t worry about those things to enjoy a work of art.
all arts are propaganda, i prefer to not consume capitalist propaganda.
You shouldn’t consume anything, then.
