Yes I know that fascism measurehead is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it. de-encyclopedia

This. It's pretending to be a realistic portrayal of a historical period, but all that means is no PoC and you're a commoner who can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.

I like what they were trying to do but it gets annoying really fast when you fight more than one enemy at a time. And one could say that the point is that you are are an ordinary commoner and can't fight more than one person at a time without great difficulty but if that's the case then why is the relatively easy solution most of the time to kite them so the AI forces itself to line up and let you take them on one at a time.
