What We Think

Grim Fandango Remastered is about as non-woke as remasters come. It respects its cultural influences and is driven by story and character, not ideology. A classic that hasn’t been pulled into modern 'woke' trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Grim Fandango Remastered, like the original, keeps its focus on witty dialogue, genre-bending noir storytelling, and clever puzzles. Characters fit the Day of the Dead-inspired world organically, without modern identity-first casting or obvious ideological messaging. Its charm comes from personality and old-school atmosphere, not box-ticking diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This game essentially leaves cultural institutions like religion, family, and gender roles untouched. It’s rooted in Mexican folklore, celebrating the tradition rather than critiquing or deconstructing it. The game feels more like a loving homage than any attempt at ideological revisionism or subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The game offers a playful mix of beliefs, motivations, and worldviews among its cast. No ideological soapboxes here, just quirky characters in a supernatural afterlife, each with their own flaws and dreams. There is little to suggest a monoculture or agenda at work.
