What We Think

Wuthering Waves is more ‘modern gaming standard’ than activist showcase. It flirts with standard industry representation, but rarely pushes ideology to the front. Traditionalists may notice a gentle drift towards familiar trends, but it’s far from the wokest game on the market.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Wuthering Waves emphasizes a diverse cast with a mix of genders and backgrounds, but overall, the focus remains on character depth and fantasy world-building rather than shoehorning identity factors. Most traits serve the story or gameplay. However, a few character designs and backstories echo current industry trends, nudging up the “woke” factor slightly.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The game draws on a fantasy, post-apocalyptic setting, which is fairly neutral, religion, family, and morality aren’t overtly mocked or reinterpreted. Some contemporary values peek through in dialogue and character arcs, but these moments aren’t aggressive or central. The treatment of gender roles is largely balanced, without one-sided elevation or denigration.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the tone leans modern, Wuthering Waves doesn't go out of its way to vilify traditional views. There’s a bit of ideological sameness, in that dissenting opinions are rare or mildly dismissed, but pluralistic or villainized portrayals don’t take center stage. It’s closer to corporate safe than activist manifesto.
