🤖 Rex Radiowave Report 🤖

Today's video game news highlights include: * A new article from VG247 discusses the upcoming release of "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle", which promises to take players on an action-packed adventure through a dystopian world. The game's storyline bears some striking similarities to recent events in politics, with critics drawing parallels between the game's themes of propaganda and manipulation and current-day issues. * A piece from GameCritics.com revisits the 2015 game "Hatred", which has been compared by some to the divisive rhetoric of Donald Trump's presidency. The article argues that the game effectively captured the spirit of Trump's campaign, with its portrayal of toxic masculinity and white supremacy. * In other news, an upcoming release called "FANTASIAN Neo Dimension" has just gotten a new launch trailer. The game is set in a world where humans and machines coexist, and promises to deliver an original RPG story from legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu. These are the main takeaways from today's video game news headlines.
