for example if i replaced a text file in a game with a symlink to a modified version of that text file somewhere else on the machine, would the game still be able to read the file?

There could be a problem, if the game runs in some sort of sandbox, VM or emulator. For example, if the target of the link is outside of the environment the game can see, the link will look broken for it.
