Video games have long been wrapped up in some pretty exploitative things (to put it mildly). The military entertainment complex of America’s Army and Call of Duty; the perpetual casinoification of games monetisation; whatever horrible thing is happening on Roblox right now. That’s not even mentioning the many, many historical and strategy games out there that outright let you do colonialism and reward you for it. All these issues make those games that break through the cracks of the medium to simulate new possibilities that much more worthwhile. This is one of several reasons to pay attention to Relooted; not only is it a fun and swift game that captures the emotional spikes and troughs of the heist genre nicely, but its premise, centred on the repatriation of real-world African artifacts to their rightful home, is one that should be lauded.
