What We Think

Assassin's Creed Rogue remains refreshingly non-woke, focusing on story, character, and historic immersion rather than waving ideological banners. It's a solid pick for those tired of 21st-century politics infiltrating their historical action-adventure games.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Assassin's Creed Rogue focuses on character motivation and plot over identity politics. The lead, Shay Cormac, is a well-written male protagonist with believable flaws and growth. Diverse representation isn't front and center, and the game emphasizes realism within its historical setting rather than modern ideological concerns.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values are largely respected. Masculinity, family, and religion are integrated into the story without mockery or subversion. The game's depiction of Catholicism and cultural heritage aligns with historical context, with no clear attempt to revise or undermine cultural traditions for contemporary messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of one-note ideological messaging. Various worldviews, Assassin and Templar, are explored in-depth, and there's balanced consideration of motives and moral dilemmas. Dissent is not simplified into caricature, and no side is framed as inherently virtuous or villainous without nuance.
