Even today, colonizing nations proudly display stolen artifacts, acting as peacocking robbers under the guise of tourism. This is where the fantasy of the moral heist comes in — and no game has done it better than Relooted. Developed by South African studio Nyamakop, Relooted focuses on a group of lovable, albeit unprofessional, Johannesburg-based thieves from different African countries. If the nations that profited off theft and stolen labor won’t return the artifacts, then Nomali and co. will simply take them back. Relooted is very special to me as a South African.
