What We Think

God of War (2018) resists the typical 'woke' pitfalls, focusing on story, myth, and a strong father-son dynamic. Classic values get their due, and ideological messaging is refreshingly absent.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

God of War (2018) keeps its focus squarely on storytelling, character growth, and Norse mythology, with little emphasis on identity politics. Kratos remains a well-developed masculine lead, and the world-building enhances rather than diminishes narrative integrity. Forced representation or ideological distraction is notably absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Masculinity, fatherhood, and traditional values are prominent themes in God of War. The game doesn't shy away from portraying Kratos as a flawed but responsible father, keeping family and moral lessons at the forefront. There's no apparent subversion or mockery of classic Western values; instead, they're central to the story.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not demonized, nor is there any obvious push for ideological conformity. The game avoids turning traditional perspectives into caricatures and allows for nuanced character interaction. There is a focus on myth and personal growth, not modern moral assumptions.
