Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an emotionally-driven platformer focused on universal themes of hope, loss, and perseverance. Characters are mostly fantastical creatures, with little emphasis on real-world identity categories. There’s no sign the story is sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This game exists in an entirely fantastical world, far removed from any commentary on family, tradition, or religion. There’s no attempt to undermine classic cultural foundations. It’s just classic storytelling about courage and redemption, plain and simple.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The game does not push any discernible ideological message or mock traditional perspectives. Players of all stripes could play this without feeling preached at or excluded. It sticks to heartstring-tugging heroism and adventure.
