In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Shadow of the Giant manages to avoid most of the late-modern woke pitfalls. Identity never outshines substance, and traditional foundations get their due. There’s some nod to contemporary themes, but it’s far from ideological monoculture. A refreshingly non-woke read by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Shadow of the Giant focuses on global politics, strategy, and character-driven drama rather than checking identity boxes. Characters are complex, diverse, and well-developed based on the needs of the narrative, rather than forced representation or ideological priority.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, loyalty, and parenthood are taken seriously, without mocking masculinity or undermining religion. Some elements nudge at globalism and power structures, but overall, old-school values are still respected rather than subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Multiple perspectives, including religious, cultural, and political, are explored with surprising nuance. There's no cartoonish villainization of traditional views; instead, debate and pluralism thrive among a very international cast.
