What I suspect has happened is that it is neither "conspicuously woke" nor "conspicuously anti-woke". Probably because it's French. Therefore it has avoided organized review-bombing campaigns, as well as being an extremely good game in a neglected genre.
(re: review bombing, a funny/stupid example of this was when Genshin Impact gave out anniversary freebies that the fandom deemed inadequate. So they started review-bombing it. Google removed the reviews.

- surgical_fire 2y agoAnd review bombing is alright. I have no idea why people get so obsessed over it. Which is why people should actually read the words of user reviews. Are people that gave it a zero complaining only that the game is woke? If that does not matter to you, you may want to try it. I enjoyed games that were review bombed before, as the reasons why people were review bombing it didn't matter to me.
- Ferret7446 2y agoI would suggest a causal correlation there. They were able to focus on making the game good, rather than focusing on making the game political, and thus failing to make the game good, as the dozens of recent AAA(A) commercial failures have done.
