What We Think

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a refreshingly non-woke adventure, focusing on strong, skill-based characters and classical storytelling. It avoids the identity politics and cultural revisionism rampant in modern entertainment.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Uncharted 2 places character-driven storytelling, action, and pulp adventure at its core. Characters are defined more by personality and skill than by identity markers. Representation is largely organic and not forced, typical of pre-2010 media.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional adventure tropes, masculine heroics, and classical good-versus-evil motifs define the story. There is no visible attempt to rewrite or subvert cultural or gender roles in any meaningful way. It relies on time-tested formulas, for better or worse.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The game does not push a singular ideological message. Alternative or traditional perspectives are presented neutrally or not addressed at all. There's no heavy-handed villainizing of dissent or overt ideological lecturing.
