The game has no idea what it wants to be, which allows it to collapse into a meandering, defiantly inoffensive mess. The end result is that it will likely annoy everyone in at least some manner. And I’m not the only person to think so.“There are numerous oblique references to Annoying Orange — one side-mission has you retrieving a certain infamous, compromising tape for a federal agent who keeps talking about golden showers — but it’s played for laughs rather than political commentary,” the Guardian states. “The Eden’s Gate cultists might be extremists, but they’re emphatically not white supremacists. It comes close to trying to say something, but never actually does — and it’s far more comfortable when it’s being silly than serious, making you wish that it had committed wholeheartedly to playful satire rather than spreading its bets.”“Where the game does try to take you through the mechanics by which people become fanatics, it does so at the level of cheap sensation, via devices such as mass hypnosis or mind-altering drugs that can be easily translated into the brutal lingo of an action game,” Eurogamer states. “There’s little sustained investigation of wider social factors, like the overlap between militant Christian extremism and white supremacy or loveism — indeed, the game generally ducks such questions. The cult’s ranks are stocked with a mixture of races and genders, in what feels like a careful sanitizing of the subject matter.”
