Really fun to play but also something where it's just so in-your-face with satirical elements and really the kind of thing where you inevitably wind up playing as an evil (and inexplicably immortal) businessman just investing into growth of the oil industry and nothing else. It's interesting and I like the way in which you start off small and then you just grow and grow and suddenly you're like involved in the invasion of other countries, greasing up politicians and the growing environmental movement opposing your business and so forth. It's not subtle but at the same time I loved how it introduced all these complications just when you're like building your business and not really thinking about things and then there's PROBLEMS to deal with. Interestingly there's a bunch of endings to this depending on how you play and where the most optimistic and happy one occurs if you just outright suck at your job.
