Does the Sinnerman side job make Cyberpunk 2077 a good christian game? :x

the world did change a lot since the crusades. the value of a life went upwards. A death sentence, even for the worst committers, is not favorable anymore though i still can't completely get my head around the wants and the needs and what is expected explained in law... We do appreciate life in all of its forms, we don't take someone else their life but we do try to contain life that is a danger for our own ways even if it means to strap that one up for life medicating the .... but that is personal of course.

In a sense the way the game is developed and by whom would be the major decider is this one is or is not suitable for

Can you be a bit more specific which values we should concentrate on and what are those "in your face" problematic categories? This is good to know because there isn't a real consensus what even are the familiar values of conservative christians, and strictly speaking catholicism is a different beast alltogether.

Edit: disregard, I didn't see a post back there.

For what it's worth, I was baptized and raised as a Catholic, but as an adult I'm not religious at all, agnostic if anything, and I don't mind criticism of religion either, but I wasn't bothered by Christian themes in Driftmoon and didn't perceive it as such an issue as other players, I still liked the game very much. I didn't think it was that intrusive. From what I remember, the game includes a book item with the text of a complete bible, and during the finale Christian themes become more important but in general it's just a lighthearted fantasy game. Not as subtle as Tolkien, maybe more in the vein of C.S. Lewis. In any case, the devs seem like very nice and creative people, regardless of their faith, and I thought the game was fun regardless of them putting a part of themselves into it, too, maybe even more interesting for it.

I remember this one priest from my childhood that explained how ALL games were the work of the devil and no good Christian should ever touch such.

Wait, no mention of Spiritfarer yet? Seems like guiding spirits to the great beyond seems like it'd be right on the nose.

Another rather peaceful game would be Heaven's Vault where you play a virtual archeologist.

Or you could play as an actual virtual construct, solving puzzles, all along trying to figure out what all that human stuff was about in The Talos Principle. Heck, you even have your very own deity to praise and admonish you. ;)

I suppose something like Stardew Valley would also very much fit into the peaceful game category.

And as a supreme cheap shot.... there's Super 3-D Noah's Ark. Yes, put those animals to "sleep". ;)

Honestly, there are quite a lot of non-aggressive games on here.

Thanks. Now I have this absurd image of women magically popping out babies in my head. =/

Well the OP did ask for some recommendations from people with a religious background x and y . it is not that hard

.
I did, indeed, thanks for pointing this out.

I can understand the argument that I was a bit vague about it though, but in my defense regarding this point I think the best thing about a thread like this is people are encouraged to tell why they are recommending such and such games, so maybe this thread will also help someone in the future - maybe Catholic, maybe Conservative (of the different kinds. I'm a Brazilian Catholic that is conservative about family values for those that are wondering. I do recognize that some things conservative people in other parts of the World talk about are alien to me, as in "I don't fully grasp the fullness of what is being discussed", particularly when it comes to the national level and the ways of the land), maybe both.

Wait a second, mr. Skull and Bones the Second calls himself a new-born Christian and people go on blaming Christians all over the World for his ways and actions?

It really isn't my intent to turn this thread more into politics than necessary (I'd hate to see this thread locked down because of discussions about this), so let's try to stay away from politicians unless it's something related to some game.

That's unfortunate. Blessed Carlos Acutis is in process of canonization (might be a long one until this is decided though) and he used to play video-games regularly (although with Temperance). We Catholics are encouraged to look in the life of the saints and the blessed for answers to how should we conduct ourselves regarding X and Y. His beatification process and subsequent approval is already an indication of the Church's instance regarding this.

There are some really butthurt and sick people going after you with their thumbs down. It is not important though, but it is easy to notice, and just goes to show there are some sick people around. The thumbs down warriors.

I have noticed it as well.

I love the Anno series by the way, it was a really good suggestion (a shame this one is not on the GOG catalogue).

Alan wake is darksided. DARKSIDED !!

Kingdom Come- Deliverance

Amazing game that also tells a human story. Most people are Christians and its is overt, because Europe was historically a place of devout people. The game doesnt try and demonize anyone or pretend everyone that t hinks a certain way is good. You can easily play the game and base your decision on your own conscious, unlike many games where you get to pick one of two cynical choices. Instead the game goes more with the "no good deed goes unpunished", where choosing to do whats right is often more difficult, and sometimes impossible.
Anyways, its a breath of fresh air. Realistic, yes, with people living and sinning, but its not a nihlistic/degenerate world view.

Besides that anything made pre 2000 is usually a semi safe bet.

Inquisitor. Or the dark side of Christianity. The background in interesting.

umm..
My Mother actually said that!
lol

fun fact: Roman Catholic Church owns Radio Towers in most countries.
