HROT, a boomer shooter set in a Soviet-era Czechoslovakia after some unspecified disaster, just released. I've seen some gameplay and read generally favorable reviews and quite like the Soviet industrial retro shooter aesthetic. Only thing that put me off is the (expected) litany of anticommunist reviews & general fan sentiment surrounding it. A slower, more Quake like shooter among the library of (very good!) fast paced boomer shooters is welcome.

rambling-about-post-USSR-opinions

This game raises the question I often come back to about whether my perspective and opinions on the USSR as a "Western" ML have merit in the face of the, lets say harsh, opinions of people who lived through the era (or at least lived in former Soviet countries).

I know the opinions of an imperial-core communist aren't worth shit in general lol, but I was wondering how y'all reconcile a pro-soviet stance and an opposing "lived experience" (yeah reactionary forces swooped in post fall but I think interrogating one's own views in the context of one's relation to imperial power is important)

Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway this was a post about a game >_>

It also has a funny horse in a gas mask! I thought it looked neat, has anybody played it or the demo?
