here are few games that fetishise warfare like , so it was somewhat of a surprise when the DLC landed in 2017. A laudable effort to touch upon the complexity and consequences of conflict on the landscape and population, it features an NGO tasked with removing mines and unexploded ordnance after the wars on Altis, with a mini-campaign, educational materials and simulations to play through in VR, plus a donation to the real International Committee of the Red Cross in the asking price. Playing at mine clearance does lack a certain spark, and the campaign keeps flashing you back into combat roles, several of which demand you commit war crimes. While the writing is decent, the commentary on warfare is mudded by the fictional nature of the war’s history, as is adding cluster munitions to the main game. If you don’t play regularly, you’ll need to weather the lengthy tutorial scenarios, and you’ll have to kill a lot of people to get to the humanitarian bits.
