    The parallels to 20th century politics make it borderline political satire (ala Animal Farm) in spots. I enjoyed it regardless though, but it wasn’t what I was expecting

      I don’t suppose you’ve played Metaphor: ReFantazio? Because that’s a fantasy setting with extremely obvious 21st century political satire. Anyway, I’m not trying to mock you for not expecting it or anything, but I’ve found political themes in fantasy to be very common and often the most compelling part.
