What We Think

Battlefield V is a prime example of a classic franchise going all-in on woke sensibilities at the expense of narrative and historical authenticity. If you’re looking for a game that grounds itself in realism or balanced worldview, this one is likely to disappoint. The ideology is as loud as the gunfire.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Battlefield V famously introduced female soldiers in frontline World War II combat, often in unrealistic contexts, prioritizing modern identity themes over historical fidelity. This was even marketed as a selling point, suggesting the narrative took a backseat to ideology. Many players felt this compromised immersion and detracted from the authenticity of the setting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The game undercuts traditional portrayals of wartime heroism and masculinity, introducing heavily stylized feminist icons and downplaying accurate gender roles of the era. This re-imagination of historical conflict puts woke themes above cultural or historical accuracy, sidelining familiar pillars like family, religion, or national pride.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There is a noticeable lack of pluralism or genuine debate about historical events: dissent from the game's narrative is mostly met with stereotype or dismissal. The game's perspective is one-sided, favoring a modern ideological lens and treating any criticism as backward or irrelevant, which alienated a large segment of the fanbase.
