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

Deathloop leans heavily into current trends of representation and ideological uniformity. While visually engaging and mechanically creative, it often feels like narrative and world-building choices are made with a checklist in mind, rather than a balanced or organic vision.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Deathloop puts heavy emphasis on diverse representation with two Black protagonists, both extremely competent and rarely shown with notable flaws. Their identities receive more narrative focus than traditional character arcs. It appears story choices sometimes favor ideological priorities over deeper personality development or world coherence.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The game downplays traditional family ties and religion almost entirely. Masculine traits tend to be undermined through frequent quips and subversion. Gender roles are intentionally blurred, elevating female characters' authority and agency, which may seem forced for the setting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Deathloop largely avoids sincere exploration of dissenting viewpoints. Traditional perspectives or alternative ideologies are generally either mocked or ignored, creating the impression that there's only one worldview worth considering within the game’s universe.
