Possibly. Are there any specific games you're thinking about?
For someone to be offended about whatever, they need something which can be seen as a blatant attack on their values. If they have to think, analyze metaphors or whatnot, the offensiveness doesn't really kick in.
And sometimes, messages can get so removed from any connection to the real world that they loose the punch. Like Papers Please. Criticism of a fictional regime inspired by the soviet union is not really that relevant today.
