What We Think

The Last of Us Part I offers a gripping story but can’t resist touching on some modern ideological notes. It isn’t the wokest game out there, but there’s enough emphasis on pushing boundaries and elevating certain identities to make non-woke players roll their eyes a bit.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The Last of Us Part I primarily focuses on story and character, with some subtle modern ideological undertones. While Ellie and other diverse characters are lovingly written, their traits don't fully overshadow their arcs. Still, some viewers may find character identity highlighted more than necessary for the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The game does show a bleak world where traditional family structures and masculine protectiveness are challenged. There's a notable emphasis on strong, independent female characters, which some will find pushes boundaries of classic gender roles, though it’s not over-the-top compared to later series entries.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren't outright mocked, but the worldview leans heavily modern and non-traditional. There’s minimal sincere exploration of more traditional values; moral ambiguity is ever-present, with few truly sympathetic traditional characters.
