What We Think

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy isn’t the wokest game out there, but it clearly prioritizes modern representational trends, swapping traditional male leads for competent, diverse heroines, without much space for alternative perspectives. The adventure is still fun, just not exactly a bastion of non-woke storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the game delivers a competent adventure, it prominently features Chloe and Nadine, two women of color, as leads, which some could see as prioritizing representation over natural narrative evolution. Both are skilled, confident, and take over an iconic male-led franchise. The plot remains solid, but the gender and diversity switch feels calculated rather than entirely organic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The game subtly diminishes traditional masculine roles by sidelining established male hero Nathan Drake and amplifying the strengths and leadership of its female leads. It doesn’t overtly attack family or religion but leans hard into empowerment themes. The shift is more fashionable than outright revisionist, but it’s noticeable in tone and character interactions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a lack of meaningful dissent or alternative worldviews within the story. The protagonists and supporting cast reflect current identity-driven norms, with little debate or nuance around their roles. While villains aren’t simple caricatures, the game avoids sincere representation of more traditional perspectives, adhering closely to modern moral assumptions.
