What We Think

Ghost of Tsushima is a refreshing rarity: a modern game more interested in telling a deep, engaging story than lecturing about current-day identity issues. Tradition, culture, and strong character arcs drive the experience, making it decidedly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Ghost of Tsushima focuses on traditional storytelling, with characters defined by skill, honor, and personal growth, rather than modern identity politics. There is no forced representation; the cast is consistent with historical Japan. The diverse characters are not flawless, adding to the story’s tension and realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game values family, tradition, honor, and masculinity, with the protagonist wrestling with duty and heritage. It largely respects Japanese culture and avoids modern ideological revisionism. Traditional gender roles are maintained, and historical themes are treated with gravity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no enforced ideological conformity. The game presents conflicting philosophies, honor versus practicality, without mocking tradition. Different characters express sincere, differing views, and the story takes these conflicts seriously.
