What We Think

Subnautica is a breath of non-woke fresh air: no forced representation, no political lectures, just underwater survival and exploration. Dive in without worrying about ideological baggage.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Subnautica keeps its focus on survival, exploration, and discovery rather than pushing identity politics or ideological messaging. The protagonist’s identity is mostly irrelevant to the gameplay or story, and no unnecessary emphasis is placed on race, gender, or sexuality. Overall, the game prioritizes atmosphere and player-driven narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Subnautica is almost entirely apolitical and doesn’t comment on religion, family, or gender roles. It’s really just you, the ocean, and all the weird alien fish. Traditional cultural foundations are neither undermined nor especially highlighted, they’re just not present in the narrative.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no discernible ideological agenda or moralizing. Alternative worldviews aren’t discussed because the game has no significant social or political subtext at all. It’s refreshingly neutral and lets gameplay speak for itself.
