Dragon Age inquisition is probably up there in woke vibes. Its got trans people, women with short hair, black people with influential positions, and most importantly it has a shitton of characters with that semi-fade every TV-lesbian had in the 10's.
Sure if you read the text its not all that woke, having aristocrats and stuff, but thats not really what we're looking for it seems. More like what game screams "look at me! Im #woke!!" And that one does.
I'd love to know what's genuinely woke, as long as it's really deliberately that way.
Just given the answers saying "corpogame 123" I think people needed more extreme biasing the other way since there's 0% chance it's not some weird indie game
Yeah and I think Inquisition is genuinely woke.
I don't think there's a lot of woke indie games, but it might be our understanding of "woke media" differs. To me "woke" as a concept is just yet another thing that has been coopted by DNC libs, as such the most woke game will be some "corpogame 123" slop.
I have no idea what a DNC is but I would disagree that it's necessarily corporate. There's shitty queer tokenism in a lot of corporate crap but that doesn't mean if someone wants to know the queerest media they want that.
Woke stuff is a bit performative sure, but games are a performance. It's not like disco elysium isn't performatively political for example, characters trip over themselves to get into discussions of political frameworks and it's very silly. It's just done well enough that it stands up.
