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

Overcooked! is about as non-woke as it gets. The game sidesteps ideological themes entirely, letting players focus on having fun in the kitchen. No narrative agenda here, just pure, delicious chaos.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Overcooked! is a cooperative cooking game that focuses on fun and teamwork, with little to no narrative. The game allows players to choose from a diverse cast of chefs, but their traits are simply cosmetic and do not impact gameplay, keeping the emphasis on skill rather than identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no significant cultural, religious, or moral themes in Overcooked! Cooking and teamwork are the only 'values,' so nothing is being subverted or revised. Gender roles and other traditional elements are simply not addressed.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No obvious ideological slant. All characters can participate equally, but there are no lectures or portrayals of traditional attitudes as negative. The game is refreshingly apolitical, focusing solely on chaotic culinary action.
