Spec Ops: The Line is probably the first example that comes to mind.
They get a bad rap because of the sometimes fascist leaning fanbase, but paradox grand strategy games do let you play whatever side you want. Everytime I tried Hearts of Iron (admittedly my least favourite paradox game), I played as the USSR.
Some of the Metal Gear games, though that's still "the good americans vs the corrupt government" which isn't really ideal either.
Yakuza 3 features CIA as one of the villain factions.
Pick USSR Destroy the Nazis Obliterate the "Allies" Liberate the workers of the world in 10 years
interestingly, Yakuza 3 is also the "wokest" yakuza game in the franchise lol
all this in a game released in 2009. imagine that lmao. if you put any of this in recent games chuddies would hue and cry about "forced diversity and wokeist propaganda being shoved down their throats"
