This is probably mostly related to strategy games, but honestly any will do. The only thing I can think of is Stellaris with the communist mod, which is cool, but it’s outdated to heck at this point and I’d like to hear more options =)

    In World at War you play as Red Army while killing the nazis, only good COD ever made.

    In China: Mao’s legacy you can take china to a left radical ultra maoist path and nuke the USA and completely destroy israel which is pretty nice to me

    I think playing as Mao in Hoi4 is actually pretty decent. Unlike the soviets they don’t go out of their way to imply that Communist China is some sort of terrible dictatorship. You get to abolish land rent, improve literacy, and most importantly, form the glorious people’s republic.

      And you can easily eat most warlords around you by mass spamming weak troops and surrounding their troops, on less off a year you can eat 3 warlords. And after you kick the shit out of the japanese with better troops, you can backstabb the natonalists and form the CPR!

    For Stellaris you can try “Ethics and civics: infinity”. Capitalist are only good for trade and trade’s a fucking nightmare in Stellaris. Communists are pretty op in comparison.

    People generally suggest Disco Elysium as a communist game, even if it’s not to my taste.

    Hoi4 can really depends on what mod you are using, but most of the time the “Stalinist” world will be portrayed as evil to some degree.

    I don’t really have anything else to suggest, if anyone has a more detailed answer I would like to hear it too.

    The Men of War games - fun RTS games which often feature a great Soviet campaign. The Vietnam one is the only game I know of in which you can play the NVA and they’re portrayed as the good guys.

    Crisis in the Kremlin - It’s an alternate history political simulator of the USSR during Perestroika. You can alter the course of revisionism and prevent the collapse. Excellent game!

    The Stalin Subway - Solid FPS game in which you play as an NKVD agent, the plot revolves around a coup attempt by Beria, which you are trying to prevent. You literally go out of your way to save Comrade Stalin’s life here, so it’s pretty much the most tankie/M-L game ever…

    Red Faction Guerrilla. They never mention communism, but it’s what they are. The Outer Worlds is pretty anti-capitalist and there’s even a communist/anarchist major faction.

    Hearts of Iron 4 mentioned a few times here, does anyone know how communists are represented in the Kaiserreich mod? It’s an alternate reality where the Germans won WW1. Britain starts as Syndicalist with the Royal Family exiled to Canada. I think France and part of Italy start red as well. And like stock Hearts of Iron, the player can turn most playable countries communist through scripted events.

    I mean idk if it’s written by libs or wehraboos or what, but it’s hard to watch the Union of Britain trailer and not feel stoked: https://youtu.be/C7VAxt7Dhs8

      Its written by absolute wehraboos, which is a damn shame. I think there are probably a bunch of anarcho-communists working on it too, hence the glorification of syndicalism.

      I actually recommend Kaiserredux, which is a fork of Kaisserreich that aims to be more fun than “realistic”, and in my opinion its the superior mod. You even get to play as Stalin if you choose to play Georgia.

        They are not wehraboos, they are Kaiserboos, the first simp for the werchmarch on ww2, the second simp for the kaiser and ww1 germany, very different species of braindead.

              I wouldn’t know, I haven’t seen every path in Mittelafrika. But the sheer amount of Goering lore in there makes me uncomfortable nonetheless.

                  TNO, TWR theres a load of wehraboo fanfiction for Nazis by Nazis, its one of the things that really sucks about the Hoi4 community, the best we can do is refuse to engage with them.

      On KS communism dont exist, instead its “syindicalism” (basically the workers organizing itself on dozens of trade unions on an decentralized state, an weird mix of anarchism an communism) it is definitvly very weird, but they dont spit anti communist propaganda everywhere. And stonping the Entente and Germany with an massive workers union is very satisfying.

        Communism does exist in certain places, Finland for example has a communist path. Its just called “Totalism”. Which the mod tries to label as some sort of evil authoritarian ideology, Oswald Mosely and Mussolini are “Totalists” too.

    Civ 6, communism is powerful there.

    Victoria 2, getting to communism normally is pretty hard, but you can console command it on day 1.

    CK3, there is mod with pretty good looking Lenin and Stalin as playable characters, unfortunately the rest is cringy because of game limitations with communism as religion and unmodable governments, so still feudalism

      Vic 2 communism on day 1 is still very difficult to manage. Goddamn anarcho liberalist revolts will just constantly pop up.

          It would be even more accurate if they never actually managed to organize an armed insurrection, but I guess without the internet you can’t be terminally online

          They also made the economic model of the liberal parties very accurate, your economy literally sinks when they get into power.
