What We Think

Red Dead Redemption 2 is about as non-woke as modern AAA titles get: gritty, grounded, and refreshingly unafraid to deliver an authentic Western experience.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Red Dead Redemption 2 keeps its focus on strong, flawed characters and a believable narrative. While there are a few moments of commentary on gender or race, they feel organic to the setting and time period rather than shoehorned for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, loyalty, faith, and masculine virtues are not only present, but often central to the story. The game presents a complex, non-cynical portrait of its historical setting, rarely mocking tradition or cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are touches of modern sensibility, but alternate or traditional viewpoints are given space, and characters are more nuanced than caricature. If you squint, you might see some subtle nods to current year ideological influences, but nothing overbearing.
