In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Ori and the Blind Forest is about as far from 'woke' as you can get, pure fantasy, heartfelt storytelling, and classic themes with no trace of ideological baggage. Refreshingly non-woke, and all the better for it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Ori and the Blind Forest focuses on universal themes of loss, sacrifice, and hope without shoehorning in identity politics or sacrificing story for ideology. The narrative, character designs, and development are rooted in fantasy and mythic archetypes, not modern sociopolitical issues.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no obvious attempts to undermine traditional values, gender roles, or religious symbolism. The game's focus is on family, forgiveness, and redemption, classic themes anyone can relate to, without any apparent subversion or commentary on modern cultural debates.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Ori and the Blind Forest avoids moralizing or villainizing alternative viewpoints. It doesn't push a particular ideology, and the absence of dialogue about identity-based topics keeps it comfortably outside the woke zone.
