What I played of Infinite avoided caricature or any kind of elbow-in-the-ribs parody, which I appreciated.īeyond that, the game's tableau of intellectually-challenging themes pervade its presentation. I also stumbled into the hidden home of abolitionists-in their living room sat a printing press for publishing posters that encouraged racial equality.
Walking Columbia, citizens' deeply-entrenched racism is immediately evident through the comments they'll make as you pass, but many of these are innocuous and pleasantly normal, too: I saw kids playing "finger guns" across a stairway, muttering kid-made shooting noises as they did. But masterfully, it expresses these concepts without being heavy-handed. With its fiction, Infinite lays bare the worst of American history: racism, sexism, class warfare, secessionism, and the dangers of nationalism.
