Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Last of Us Remastered prioritizes high-quality storytelling and character arcs over ideological messaging. Although Ellie is a strong female lead, her characterization is well-grounded, with clear flaws and organic growth. There’s little evidence of forced identity politics or characters defined solely by demographics, keeping the focus squarely on narrative and emotional impact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like fatherhood, loss, and sacrifice are explored respectfully. Masculinity isn’t portrayed in a negative light, Joel’s struggles and protective instincts play central, positive roles. There’s no overt cultural revisionism or subversion of traditional family or moral values, making it mostly non-woke in cultural messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s notable diversity among characters, but the game does not villainize traditional perspectives or mock dissenting views. Characters exhibit different worldviews, and the plot allows genuine moral ambiguity and debate, rather than enforcing a singular modern ideology.
