Havent watched the anime, but that does sound a lot more appealing for sure.
The combination of turbo-libbery and anti-communist poles relegated all the "critical" looks into society into the sidecontent that you can do. Like there's a gig where you kill a bunch of strikebreakers, you would never know this if you didnt read some of the environmental storytelling notes. Then there's another gig where you're supposed to kidnap the strikebreaker in-chief from his pinkerton office building. The game naturally shits on you if you just murder everyone in there, so not even the sidecontent is allowed to be critical all the time.
It's a damn shame, honestly.
The anime is basically what happens when you get some communists to not make something to agitate, but instead to make something that is 100% indulging the
that lives inside every leftist. They do a very good job from that angle. There is no hope, there is no adventure, there is only a train and it has only one destination and it can't change tracks.
I recommend it.
