I really enjoy Cookie Clicker. Not because it is a particularly fun game to play, but the way it uses the medium to tell a narrative without a single line of dialogue is nothing short of masterful. The whole game's premise is an obvious critique and satire of unlimited, exponential growth under capitalism and it never has to invoke Marxist theory to make you think about that. Anyone who stops to question why they have an army of grannies producing more cookies than there are atoms on Earth and still want more can reach that conclusion on their own. It's a shame the genre was appropriated into being exactly what the pioneer game criticized, but it just makes the point more valid from my perspective.
