What We Think

With its mature storytelling and focus on nuanced characters over ideological symbolism, The Witcher 3 is as non-woke as modern AAA games get. This game stands out for prioritizing drama and worldbuilding over social agendas, refreshing by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Witcher 3 puts story and character development before any sort of ideological messaging. The focus is squarely on Geralt and a fantasy world rooted in Slavic myth. Characters are memorable due to their complexity, not because of any diversity checkboxes. Forced representation is all but nonexistent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, loyalty, honor, and even nuanced masculine roles are central to the narrative. The game treats religion, tradition, and cultural context with respect, even when characters are critical. Subversion of gender roles is minimal and typically well-motivated.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s genuine diversity of thought in this world, religions clash, moral ambiguity abounds, and the setting allows alternative perspectives rather than shunning them. Few games provide such a pluralistic approach without caricature.
