What We Think

Deep Rock Galactic is a rare gem: a straightforward, non-woke gaming experience where play comes before politics. It embraces tradition and fun, without forcing any ideology into the adventure.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Deep Rock Galactic keeps things refreshingly simple. The focus is on dwarven miners blasting bugs and collecting loot, not pushing identity-driven narratives. None of the playable characters are defined by their race, gender, or sexuality, just by their job and attitude. The game doesn't sacrifice story for ideology, sticking to classic roles and gruff banter.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game actually celebrates traditional masculine camaraderie, hard work, and even drinking beer together. It doesn't attack religion, family, or morality, nor does it attempt to deconstruct dwarven or masculine stereotypes in a modern ideological way. If anything, it leans into traditional themes for humor and style.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No ideological monoculture here. Deep Rock Galactic keeps politics and modern moral debates far away from its caves. It's all about teamwork, efficiency, and good-natured jokes, without taking shots at alternative worldviews or promoting any particular ideology, just fun and chaos underground.
