Gta was a parady or saints row but what game decribes the zeitgeist of today as a parody. Does it exist?

Few games, but both Wall-E and Idiocracy have shot past the "documentary" phase and gone straight into the "aspirational" category.

Swift would weep to see what reality has done with the corpse of satire.

The real world is a game that is a considered a parody of the real world.

Mr. President. That Donald Trump Ronald Rump bodyguard game. Aged all too well considering that it was released in 2016 and relatively recent events from just near the end of last year.

The fun part is, we ain't seeing nothing yet

humanity could far surpass idiocracy and wall-e shenaningans, in ways that weren't previously though lol.

South Park : The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole are great, and the latter has suprisingly good gameplay, but you have to be a hardcore South Park fan to really appreciate them.

Class of 09' and its DLC are also hilarious, but they're very short visual novels with basically no gameplay.

Disco Elysium is a deeper social critique. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, it'll make you think. But again, it's basically an interactive novel, though a much longer and more polished one.

The old board game "Careers" is a pretty good parody of real life.

And let's not forget that HUGE satire game, "The Game of Life"!
