Engels: silly VNs like monster prom, friendslop games, very casual and easy social games you can chatter over

Marx: Victoria 2/3, The Stanley Parable, SOMA, Disco Elysium, thinky thinky games, anything with good worldbuilding and story.

Lenin: Victoria 2/3, any games with great classical style soundtracks. Probably wouldn't play it for the game but just turn it on for the music. Like the nier games, expedition 33, the velvet room in the persona games, etc.

Stalin: forced to play HOI4 with mods by his friends. Wants to play games like stardew Valley, slime rancher, and other comfy games. Occasionally plays Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic to get the economy bone out of him because he doesn't want to get dragged into Vicky with the others.

Trotsky: acts like he doesn't play games but enjoys extremely horny VNs on the down low.

Mao: CK3 playing as a peasant trying to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and become the new emperor

Che: final fantasy games. Anything that has 'friendship Is magic' heroic idealism

Fidel: those EA sports games, Dave the Diver, subnautica

Kim Il-sung: The Sims, peaceful colony builders.

Mao is so real for that

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 18 hours ago

Marx: I am quite fond of Factorio

[–] Big@hexbear.net 37 points 1 day ago

He would constantly be hitting up Engels for more gacha money.

Engels: MOBA addict
Marx: MMO (EVE)
Lenin: RTS
Stalin: Peak cozy gamer, but tells everyone he plays map games
Trotsky: Map games, terrible at it
Mao: 4X, but up for anything with a good tech tree
Che: Open world survival crafting
Fidel: Sports, and has multiple sports management games running in the background at any time
Emma: Fighters
Kropotkin: Could go either way on cozy gamer or factory builder
Deng: ask him what games he plays and he shows you his stock portfolio
Rosa: Absolute FPS monster. Everyone has her muted.

Ooh, Sankara plays Pokemon but is mad about it

Trotsky: Map games, terrible at it

idk I feel he'd be good at them, say what you will about him but he became was a good military commander, ig that may translate into skill at 4x games

[–] TommyCatkins@hexbear.net 1 points 17 hours ago

He would probably kick ass at Rome Total War tbh

Marx: MMO (EVE)

I could see him getting really into T2 rig production. He has the spreadsheet acumen for sure.

Stalin: Peak cozy gamer, but tells everyone he plays map games

Only map game he played was HOI4, but so many times his Russian runs are cozy.

EDIT:

Khrushchev: RTS and Management games, but tops out at mid level. Refuses to read gamefaqs.com

Ho Chi Minh: Guild leader. Absolute competitive gremlin with sky-high APM. Dominates better financed esports teams.

Fidel has some deep franchises in MLBTS

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Emma: DDR because the dancing quote and the obvious DDR pun

[–] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 6 points 19 hours ago

Paradox map slop, and he would be extremely vocal about it

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

he was mainlining lemonade and tobacco while researching, so my hot take is that he would be ripping redbulls and a disposable vape while playing roguelikes.

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 9 points 22 hours ago

He'd be like John Dolan from Radio War Nerd and opine about some old '80s strategy-sim game that he hasn't played in 30 years despite how nostalgic he sounds talking about it.

[–] Blep@hexbear.net 4 points 18 hours ago

That mf playing starcraft

[–] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

He played EVE and Engels would pay for all of his clones. He would get ganked while on a hauling run on account of being sloshed at least once.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 3 points 19 hours ago

Cozy farming sims. He'd spend days and days trying to get his farm to look perfect, then he'd invite Engels to look at his farm and he wouldn't really care, which would make Marx sulk for weeks where he refuses to play any games.

I think Marx would enjoy Call of Duty and Fifa. Sorry Hexbear

But maybe he would be into Sims and Animal Crossing ?

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Factorio probably.

Or he’d be a Simsnerd

[–] nightmare786@leminal.space 5 points 22 hours ago

Civilization series

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

Not even a genre, dude would be hooked on EVE. He'd be leading a terminally futile campaign to overthrow CONCORD.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago
[–] whiskers165@hexbear.net 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I think he would love the Warioware series

[–] Commie_Chameleon@hexbear.net 1 points 17 hours ago

This one is my favorite

Visual novels. He wouldn't like anything with brevity.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

I'd imagine he would enjoy figuring out economic systems in EU5 or Vicky 3

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

He would be a HoI player

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 3 points 23 hours ago

My boy Marx could never

map staring

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Anything gacha
