Relooted reclaims history through a stylish anti-colonialist heist

The Verge reviews Relooted, Nyamakop’s Africanfuturist 2.5D heist game, following Nomali and a pan-African crew who reclaim stolen artifacts from colonial powers. The mission-driven, fast-paced gameplay blends clever planning with parkour chases and features a history lesson on Africa’s colonized past; while visuals feel dated, the movement and soundtrack are strong, and the game carries a powerful cultural message. Relooted is available now on Xbox and PC.

The story centers on a colonial hero, Paul Atreides, who appropriates the power of the indigenous Fremen people, despite his guilt and the ambivalence of his Fremen lover, Chani. The film's failure to prioritize the experiences of colonized people reflects a broader trend in blockbuster films, where narratives continue to center on colonial heroes rather than the colonized.
