What We Think

Rise of the Tomb Raider offers a classic adventure with a capable female lead but avoids most modern ideological trappings. Its story, characters, and themes respect traditional storytelling, landing it comfortably in the non-woke camp.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Rise of the Tomb Raider focuses on Lara Croft as a driven, skilled protagonist, but her identity remains rooted in established character traits, not modern ideology. While Lara is a strong female lead, she isn't defined by her gender, and her flaws and growth are central to the story. It rarely feels like ideology overrides narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The game mostly steers clear of undermining religion, masculinity, or tradition. Lara's journey is rooted in mystery and family legacy rather than modern social messaging. While a female action hero is at the center, the game doesn't go out of its way to pathologize masculine traits or traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of ideological monoculture. Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked or caricatured. The villainous group, Trinity, is presented as a typical shadowy organization, not a stand-in for any specific worldview. Most characters are portrayed with complexity, avoiding one-note stereotypes.
