What We Think

Overwatch 2 doubles down on identity-focused storytelling, gently nudges cultural tradition aside, and delivers a cast singing in woke harmony. If you’re looking for ideological balance or good old-fashioned character development, you’ll have to squint.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Overwatch 2 makes identity the main attraction, with diverse characters frequently spotlighted for race, gender, or sexuality over deep personalities. Several new heroes appear to check boxes rather than fit organically, and character arcs often focus more on representation than on traditional growth, skill, or conflict.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Family, tradition, and classic masculine traits are skirted or flipped. Male figures are often overshadowed by flawless female or non-traditional characters. Long-standing values are either sidelined or given a modern reinterpretation, giving the classic hero archetype a backseat.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Virtually every worldview presented aligns neatly with modern progressive ideals. Traditional perspectives appear stuck with caricatures or villains, while there’s little real debate or ideological diversity among heroes. This game’s cast is a masterclass in one-sided moral consensus.
