DW is financed by taxes, but the content is not directly controlled by the politics only indirectly. The state sets the broad goals by a law, Yes, DW has its own law, But politics is restricted by law as well to influence the content. Another very important law in Germany is the press freedom and DWs reporters can always rely on that for their work. You can definitely rely more on DW articles as you can on privately owned news outlets, since they might have to do what their financier says.

Also I’m pretty sure, taking your comparison, in Russia there is no press freedom like that.

You could try a Persona Game (or the new Metaphor) These games are build on your relationships with the other characters. They think of you, they contact you often on their own because they want to do something with you. You just have to like to read. Those things are half JRPG, half Visual Novel.
