Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Call of Duty: WWII largely sticks to portraying the era accurately, focusing on male soldiers and the gritty realities of combat. While there are some moments of token diversity, most notably a storyline involving the French Resistance, it doesn’t come across as forced or overwrought. Emphasis remains on skill and camaraderie, not on checking identity boxes, so the narrative feels true to its WWII roots.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game maintains a pretty traditional view of masculinity, heroism, and the horrors of war, reflecting the historical period with little ideological revision. Religion, family, and patriotism are all present or implied, and traditional gender roles aren’t subverted in significant ways. Any deviations from historical realism are minimal and don’t undermine core values or culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Most characters reflect traditional Western values, and there’s little overt political messaging or caricatured villainization of alternative views. While some modern sensibilities and perspectives sneak in, they are balanced and rarely feel like ideological lecturing. In general, the game offers a variety of worldviews within its setting.
