unlabelledView post →So pleased to read this! Suzerain is a marvellous game (and also if you follow me you are essentially guaranteed to enjoy it).
unlabelledView post →Hot damn, Suzerain for a fiver is an incredible purchase. I'm not sure I've played many true political simulators that have really sunk their teeth into me, but this is definitely one of them. Also, just a fantastic game for people who enjoy looking at beautiful maps.
unlabelledView post →A Suzerain like game where I navigate these would be sick.
unlabelledView post →Right. Finished Suzerain: Rizia last night, so need a new gane to play on my laptop in the evenings while i'm still on holiday. Give me your high-end laptop friendly, story-based/turn-based game suggestions from 24/25 pls. Indie is a plus. DO NOT SAY DISCO ELYSIUM. Of course i've played it.
unlabelledView post →Last time I listened to your game recommendations I lost a whole weekend to Suzerain. Rarely have I been so trapped inside scenario, I couldn't think of much else until I finished it.
unlabelledView post →I should not have been given access to the game Suzerain, folks. My palette of takes material is expanding
unlabelledView post →Suzerain is a terrific game: I think maybe the best game about politics I’ve played. (Just completed my first playthrough. I governed like Joko Widdodo: I died like Patrice Lumumba ).

unlabelledView post →If you want to play a really unique and cool game, Suzerain is only $6.50 on Steam right now. It's a hybrid visual novel/political strategy game where you play as the president of a country trying to pass a new constitution while being pressured by fictional versions of the US and USSR.
unlabelledView post →do you want to play a visual novel-style game/presidential where you run Not!Turkey? do you want to be a capitalist or leftist? you can do all of that in Suzerain
unlabelledView post →Suzerain (yes, i know it's a novel in the form of a game)
unlabelledView post →new blog post: Review: Suzerain blog.dante.cool/review-suzer... A game about ruling a country that you don't know but also trust me, you also kind of know. Punching above its weight and not always nailing it but wow, what an experience.
unlabelledView post →Just saw the Devs at Suzerain (fantastic game for political nerds) released a bit ago a semi-official full map, and now i'm spending my morning trying to get which real life areas inspired which region in-game. (Yes i'm a weirdo, I know)
unlabelledView post →Suzerain is a really good game but it did call me a "centrist" so I will be leaving to meditate on my mistakes for the rest of the year
unlabelledView post →Oh, I forgot to do Honorable Mentions for Best Ongoing Game: Factorio: The Space Age Baldur's Gate 3 Suzerain: Rizia
unlabelledView post →I honestly think there's a really good Suzerain-style game to be made about a Late Unreformed Parliament style situation
unlabelledView post →A normal question for a normal game I’ve never played (I haven’t seriously played vidya in years, let alone Suzerain) | read comic: drlux.neocities.org | #AskDrLux
unlabelledView post →I really love how little education spending matters, gameplay-wise, in Suzerain. It’s one of the many reasons it is far and away the best game about politics out there IMO, in that it reflects that some decisions are just “do you want to to do something important for next to no reward?”
unlabelledView post →I guess I'll play a lower stress game: Suzerain 🤣
unlabelledView post →Big news! Torpor Games has closed a minority seed round with KRAFTON, 1Up Ventures, and Sisu Game Ventures to help grow the Suzerain Universe. Ata spoke with GamesBeat about what’s next. Read it here: gamesbeat.com/torpor-games...

unlabelledView post →16. Suzerain (2020) How can I not have played this yet, given my interests in politics, 'choices matter' narrative driven games, and visual novels converge to critical acclaim with this game? Something to correct soon and share my thoughts with @stephenkb.bsky.social on it.

unlabelledView post →Other games that will be up your alley: I Was A Teenage Exocolonist, also on Switch, Suzerain, great political game.
unlabelledView post →I'm playing Suzerain and as the new president I'm taking a meeting with the chief justice and I thought it would be about my constitutional reforms but no, he's just yelling at me about communist conspiracy theories so, you know, pretty good game.
unlabelledView post →Suzerain is a perfect game. Among other things, I like how there are tough choices in any of the four quadrants, but they aren't just 'be more principled'/'be more centrist', they are ones like 'okay, you can get rid of the president's dangerous powers to rule by decree OR fix this racial injustice'
unlabelledView post →We're back! My leg is recovering so I can sit in a chair now! Don't miss tomorrow's music stream, and then we'll be starting Suzerain and hopefully finishing the umbrella + true ending playthrough of Death's Door. And... maybe a new channel point redemption? About romcoms?!

unlabelledView post →I've been playing this game called Suzerain and I feel really behind the times but it's fun?
unlabelledView post →Steam sale today which means it's time to bring about real existing socialism on Suzerain. Fully expecting to become addicted to this game.
unlabelledView post →I put it in the same category as Suzerain, Terra Invicta, or Pentiment, where this is the One Weird Game from this year I'm going to be yelling at everyone about telling them they need to play it.
unlabelledView post →Suzerain. Very nice political game. Follows the classic format of the newly elected president and choices. Unlike Junta types or Tropico clones this is definitely more engaging given the in depth fictional history and background built into it. Lots of reading to be done.
unlabelledView post →just got the achievement in Suzerain for being a centrist. the description is "believe in nothing" 10/10 game
unlabelledView post →#RPGaDay #RPGaDay2026 Day 30 ALT A game event that you are still proud of. My first game of Suzerain: Mortal Realms, appealing to the Gods for a blessing, which required a rousing speech. I somehow managed to find the balance between being mostly rousing with a hint of comedy and stupidity. 1/2
unlabelledView post →Recent game purchases (left to right): Suzerain - Political RPG/Visual Novel. Excellent writing. Resident Evil: Revelations - Port of a DS game. Cool setting but the gameplay feels a bit stiff Sea of Stars - Pixel style 16 bit rpg. Not played yet Blasphemous II - Metroidvania Souls like.
unlabelledView post →6. Suzerain Obviously you get to choose how you lead in Suzerain, as it's a choose your own adventure game, but there are several very rewarding leftist/communist leadership pathways that don't shy away from the difficulties therein. store.steampowered.com/app/1207650/...
unlabelledView post →Suzerain is fantastic, my first play through I saved the economy and got thanked for it by falling to a military coup. It also has the single best and most convoluted set up for a very stupid joke I've ever seen in a video game.
unlabelledView post →My reformist constitution in Suzerain didn't pass that's it next game I'm going to become Stalin and purge everyone I swear to fucking God "Racism is bad" was the deal breaker all I wanted was for the Bludish to no longer be discriminated against
unlabelledView post →There's a parallel kind of game that'd emerged, often in mods (new order, kr), occasionally in something like Suzerain, which is kinda CYOA political stories bolted to a strategy/sim. But the sim ends up being a mirage, inconsequential or even contradictory to the if/then scripted event chain.
unlabelledView post →Do you like visual novels that have you running a nation in a text-based RP while having to deal with multiple crises? Suzerain is the game for you. Prepare to be massively angy

unlabelledView post →Another post to promote a game (I mean my blog) on the Steam Winter Sale: Suzerain. You can get this immersive political drama for less than $/€ 5. The visual novel puts you in the shoes of President Anton Rayne, and hits you with one crisis after another. bornformedia.com/suzerain-rev...

unlabelledView post →Got to say I’m loving the new Suzerain DLC even though it can’t quite live up to the base game because there’s no Serge (yet)
unlabelledView post →Suzerain Rizia DLC somehow better than the base game, which I already had as one of the best games of the 2020s, @torporgames.com you've done it again
