Halo comes close. It’s basically a school shooter simulator

Like I agree broadly with the Iraq war criticism but… what?

I think they’re making a parallel with Jack Thompson calling games “murder simulators” at the time, which is… kinda an outdated reference?

Literally one of the fan favourite mechanics of the series is that the grunts (small alien bad guys) start screaming, crying, and running away in terror when certain conditions are met.

I think that’s where they’re coming from but idk.
