How woke do you assess the game to be in your very based and objective opinion?
Absolutely no woke content, no politics, no ideology. There is only one black Npc, and he’s an assimilated African man, completely fitting in Belle Époque Paris, there's some in the prologue crowds , nothing harmful. He dies early, and there are no USA-style black characters.

The characters? The main character is a 33-year-old white man with a beard, which in this day and age already feels amazing. You immediately sympathize with him. His motives are well written and he is not the usual isekai teenager.

The second character you meet is a cute ginger girl who’s a master at fencing. After the prologue, you’re introduced to a beautiful barefoot brunette Asian girl who uses magic. The girls are stunning, the complete opposite of what modern games have been pushing the past few years.

You can control any of them and explore freely. Their animations are very well done, especially the fencer, who is a personal favorite.

Everything feels like the complete opposite of an Ubisoft game. It looks great, the soundtrack is fantastic, and everything feels like it was crafted by someone who’s been playing video games for 40 years. There are secrets like in classic console games, hidden mechanisms that unlock rooms with small bonuses, some platformer elements , and no handholding at all.

Some will say I speak in hyperbole. Maybe I do, but I haven’t been this impressed by a game in a long, long time.
I see, I see. Thanks.

You don’t need to show your face. What really matters is making engaging content ,which you can never be to old for.

I’m grown weary of people hyping games like these when it just turns out to be a slightly above average game and not second coming of Christ that many say it is.
Very understandable. We all get weary of the gaming industry. I spend most of my time playing very few rpgs but most often old strategy games, usually modded versions of games I already own. I pick up a few indies now and then, but mostly ignore new releases these days. But in this case, you're not risking much—just grab it for $10 on Game Pass, or pirate it to try it out. You can always buy it later if you think it’s worth the money.

Yes, it's true there's still the loli VTuber approach... but I think it would be too much effort for too few views.

I’m mostly likely get it since by indications it’s like a solid game.Even cynical people like synthetic man is enjoying it and he hates almost all modern games.

That would be hilarious if that was actually him. But no one is that dumb to put their YouTube name in a site like this.

I'm going to review this game, it always looked WOKE to me and if my gut is correct about this (beta male surrounded by empowered women) then this is the typical "right wing" grift.

"wE aRe wInNiNg gUyS!"

I honestly hope that I am wrong but I don't think so, so far my first impressions of the game confirm that you are playing a beta male and that the women are "empowered women".

In fact, going forward I'll consider any game that depicts a multiracial society and is not set in a modern western urban area to be woke by default.
There's an obvious ideology agenda behind this portrayal, whether they realize it or not.

I hate those mother fuckers.

******* virgin simps doing as much damage as the leftoid ***** to gaming.

I understand that this poor fellas haven't had a chance with modern women and their **** standards and I feel sorry for them but I just can't stand their ways and I can't support their stupid ideas that everything has to be about pussy, tits and ***.

There's a huge difference between putting cute and/or beautiful modest females in your game, and a game being coomerbait. Calling this game coomerbait is pretty absurd, actually

Calling this game woke is giving ******** and ******* a great and successful game as a win for their side, it's simply not ******* true at all. Wokeslop flops.

No you can't, you will get flagged as spam, possibly shadowbanned (I have been shadowbanned for 3 weeks) or you will be banned.
