Death Stranding2019

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Death Stranding is refreshingly non-woke. While odd and artsy, it resists modern ideological tropes. It’s more about building literal and metaphorical bridges than preaching dogma.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Death Stranding’s story focuses on themes of isolation, human connection, and rebuilding society, with characters developed more for their personal quirks than identity boxes. While there’s some token diversity, it feels more like organic world-building than forced representation or checking trend boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The game doesn't mock religion, masculinity, or family values, it’s more eccentric sci-fi than anti-tradition screed. There’s a sense of hope and rebuilding, with both male and female characters taking important roles without undermining one another.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The tone is apolitical, with characters from various backgrounds cooperating. There’s little sign of monoculture, debate and existential uncertainty are central, and nobody’s worldview is treated as the only acceptable one.
