Spec Ops: The Line
Third-person shooter Spec Ops: The Line is flavored by Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, a novella about evil, imperialism, and invariably, racism. The game, like the book, depending on your interpretation of it, tells a story that’s condemnatory of war and warmongers’ (and the U.S. military’s) sick enjoyment of it. But you shouldn’t worry too much about critical thinking this Hot Book Summer—any revelations you have will quickly be replaced by your frustration at this game’s many unfortunate clunks and glitches.
