What We Think

Hades offers modern takes on mythological characters, with some nods to inclusion, but mostly stays in mythic territory rather than modern activism. Its diversions are more playful than preachy, making it less woke than most 2020s releases.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Hades takes some liberties with Greek mythology, but character depth and plot are still prioritized over identity politics. There is some visible representation diversity, but it generally fits the mythological setting and doesn’t override story or character motivation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the game reimagines ancient Greek deities and dynamics, it mostly does so playfully and doesn’t overtly subvert family, morality, or masculinity. Some relationships (including same-sex romance) are added, but these fit the looser morals of old myths rather than feeling like forced modern statements.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The game shows a fairly inclusive and progressive take on the Greek gods, but it isn’t heavy-handed. Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked, but there’s not much tension or debate among worldviews. It’s a light touch compared to more dogmatic examples.
