I'm playing Dragon Age Veilguard and I think it actually is one of the most woke games ever (hexbear.net)

Its great. You meet treasure hunters who share artifacts with the cultures they're from so that those cultural leaders can decide what to do with them. You help a character come to terms with their gender identity. You encourage people to build community in more than just a "we can win with the power of friendship" kinda way. I'm only on the first half of the game too.

It reviewed kinda mid but honestly these touches have totally sold me. It's actually feels like the writers of this game were a multicultural group of people who put thought into making it inclusive.

Is anyone else playing? Is this the experience others are having? Is all this based-ness why people are review bombing it?

There's a lot of bad reviews because of "woke". But honestly the story isn't that interesting or well told, and the companions are bad (In a BIOWARE game no less). So what you are left with is baby's first actions game. After all, why would you play an RPG if the story is bad?
