The analyses of a text #2
The following is the description of a pc game.
Kenshi is an independently developed single-player RPG focusing on open-ended gameplay features rather than a linear story. Touted as a sort of squad-based Oblivion spliced with X-Com Apocalypse, players control a team of samurai characters in a massive desert world, adventuring around and getting stabbed, such as RPG characters tend to do. Starting off with just a single weak character with a rusty sword and no shoes, the player can work his way up through a number of professions to develop a team of hardened warriors powerful enough to influence or even oppose the more powerful factions in the world.
Oblivion and X-Com are well-known games for their game quality.
I think the subject of "touted" is "players" in light of the clause's structure, but that which brings a meaningless interpretation to the clause.
So I was wondering what is the subject of "touted."
And I'd like to know if "such as" can take a clause as in the underlined clause.
Thank you in advance for your help.
