What We Think

Deus Ex stands out as a non-woke classic. Its emphasis is on deep, varied narrative and philosophical gray areas, not modern identity politics. The game lets players form their own views, showcasing an era before relentless ideological box-checking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Deus Ex maintains a strong narrative focused on conspiracy and personal choice. Character traits tend to be based on personality and skill rather than identity politics. The game’s main character is a traditional male protagonist, and diversity isn't forced or highlighted, but rather woven naturally.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the game critiques institutions, it tackles issues like government power and corruption without overtly subverting traditional values or mocking religion, family, or masculinity. The world is gritty but doesn’t pander to modern social causes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Deus Ex actually encourages debate and presents a mix of ideological viewpoints, players can side with various factions and perspectives. Traditional and dissenting worldviews are given real consideration, rather than being straw manned.
