What We Think

Code Vein is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It focuses on classic narrative structure, avoids pushing modern identity politics, and offers genuine character diversity without ideological uniformity. A rare reminder that a game can simply tell its story without lecturing the player.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Code Vein allows for extensive character customization, including gender and appearance, but doesn't force identity politics into the narrative. Personal backgrounds and core personalities matter more than political checkboxes, so the story feels driven by personal motivations rather than modern ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game is set in an anime-inspired, post-apocalyptic world with vampiric themes. Traditional topics like family and masculinity aren’t mocked or subverted; instead, typical heroic and tragic arcs are followed. Religion or cultural symbols aren’t overtly revised or targeted, making the old foundations untouched.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Diverse worldviews exist within Code Vein’s cast. Characters span a range of personalities and motivations, with allies and enemies alike presented earnestly. There’s no clear ideological pressure for everyone to share the same modern views, allowing for more organic and pluralistic storytelling.
