After the inauguration of President Donald Trump, the internet found itself buzzing with chatter about Nazi-killing video games. It seems that when reality gets unsettling, gamers know exactly where to turn: punching, shooting, and creatively demolishing digital fascists.
On Jan. 22, a post titled “Best games where you fight Nazis?” popped up on r/gaming and quickly gained traction, amassing over 1,200 comments. The suggestions poured in fast, with one user leading the charge by recommending the new Indiana Jones game. “You fight some Nazis there,” they said, sparking a thread of lively discussion. Quickly followed by, “Italian fascists too,” and another Redditor highlighting the short mission for the “final piece of the Axis triforce.”
