What We Think

Life is Strange is a quintessentially modern, identity-focused adventure. It wears its politics on its sleeve and seldom invites traditional perspectives, ticking almost every woke box for the genre.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Life is Strange leans hard on identity-driven storytelling. The game elevates issues of sexuality and gender over classic character development, making them central to the narrative sometimes at the expense of plot coherence. Some may feel the focus on diversity and modern themes comes before organic story growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values take a backseat, with family and authority figures often portrayed as either inept, antagonistic, or outdated. The game seldom celebrates masculinity or stability, favoring narratives that challenge old norms and uplift modern interpretations of identity and relationships.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews get minimal attention. More traditional or dissenting perspectives are either absent or used mainly to highlight conflict, with little genuine representation. The characters largely share similar progressive worldviews, leaving little room for ideological diversity.
