The devs are commies though, no? Doesn't make the game woke, see Disco Elysium, but there's a level in Cruelty Squad where you assassinate an on-the-nose Peter Thiel parody and if you speak to him the game portrays him as racist. The themes of the game transcend left-wing politics to be sure and its a fun shooter, but the lefty politics are still present. Other games get a mild rating for less.
Full disclosure, I already bought it when it was first making a big splash because reviews made it sound novel. I found it neat but dropped it pretty quick because shooters/immersive sims aren't my one of my main genres.

Unless the dev said something that I missed, I don't think he's overtly stated his political leaning, if he has one at all. The game takes pretty broad shots at everyone and the things you hear and find in it are so absurd that I don't think most things in it should be taken as a serious indictment. As far as the Peter Thiel connection, I didn't see it myself in any of my playthroughs and going through a list of dialogue I can't really find anything of the sort, but I'll take your word that it's in the game since it would absolutely be in character for the game to outright slander a billionaire as a joke, and it does so several times. I suppose it's up to interpretation at the end of the day, which if I remember correctly was the reason it was marked "mild" to begin with.

The upcoming remake of Dragon Warrior 3 is apparently going to be renamed Dragon Quest 3, and is censored somehow. I guess they removed all references to Male and Female with "Body Type A" and "Body Type B." They also apparently fucked with Toriyama's art the second he was dead and could no longer say no to the changes.
An interview came out and apparently the last surviving member of the dev team and toriyama's editor at shonen jump aren't happy.

While technically not a game.
The game engine Godot is currently banning anyone to the right of the far left for expressing concerns about them focusing on political messages instead of developing their game engine.
This includes banning some of their biggest funders.
Its not just twitter blocking either. Github as well.

Re: Godot.
This is their idiot in charge of their social media and community management:
They literally make these freaks in a lab somewhere.
This is the context. The whore up there with the pig nosering and daddy issues hair dyed with ty-d-bowl cleaner started posting a bunch of trolling shit about woke politics on the official company account and then started blocking people who didn't suck her feminine cock over it.

I wanted to post about this here but couldn't due to not thinking of it as a game & the software itself not having anything woke yet.
That said, if this does get counted, here's an entire write-up on the situation as of now.

I've been playing through a couple of random Humble Bundle games I've had kicking about on my Steam account for a while, and stumbled on some entries I wasn't exactly expecting.
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore
I'm not sure where I'd peg it for certain; I feel like I'm inflating it a bit because of how out of left field it felt, but I'm gonna say Mild/Medium. On the face of it, it's a fairly simple game which I hadn't even considered any woke content. Some things felt a bit odd, but I didn't think much, until the game went on and several random things popped out to confirm my suspicions.
It's obvious what it's intended to be. It's just a Zelda: Wands of Gamelon joke. You play Not Zelda, who has to collect a bunch of gems to stick in a magic book, to fight Not Ganon and seal him back in the book. Cutscenes are the MS Paint MAH BOI/I CAN'T WAIT TO BOMB SOME DODONGOS! sort of Youtube poop stuff. To begin with, it's cute. Everyone is generally pretty ridiculous and over the top. But at about the halfway point, some things became a bit more obvious.
You'll begin to notice that not only is her father, the court helper and her brother are complete, useless idiots and cowards - but they're all white. Both her and her brother are confirmed to have the same mother, so it's interesting she just so happened to turn out... ethnically ambiguous. Almost a Pajeeta, almost a boss babe stronk black womyn.
Every white character is like this. An old, extremely perverted man, a weird, backwater woman who wants to eat fish whole who people hate. Compare this to every black character being over the top, but in 'good' ways - there's a black dude who's a former soldier who teaches you a new sword move, and his only 'quirk' is that he's big, cool and a fightin' man.
The last 30mins is where it really hits. Suddenly, the jokes just stop and it becomes a fairly standard narrative. Instead of a jokey, silly baker - nope, she's just a lesbian who gets a long, drawn out scene of how they can go on a date after this, because she's such a great princess. Confirmed lesbian.
Every character tells her she's wrong, because she wants to forge the crystals into a sword which will kill Not Ganon. Does she have any reason to think this will work? No. But every character who told her it wouldn't work (all white, by the way) are proven wrong as Not Ganon instantly notes it's his one weakness, and how could 'one little girl' figure it out.
In the ending, our only fanfare is how Arzette doesn't think monarchy helps people, how she's not the real hero, the people are! With her father dead, I'm giving up the crown, and we're going to have a democracy, where everyone is free and equal!
Gamedec - Definitive Edition
I went into this not expecting much and it did not disappoint. I'm gonna say Medium. I can't say Heavy as I gave up only half-way in, but from what I've seen, strong Medium is probably the right place for it.
I suspected the name was going to be Game Detective, and yes, it is as cringe as you'd think. You're a Bladerunner style PI, but instead of hunting down robots in a cool dystopian future, you're going into porn chatrooms and Farmville to solve mysteries.
First off, character creation. Notice how the picture I gave, the 'iconic' character is a white, old man? Get used to it, because that's your only white choice. Out of roughly 20 characters, other than him, they're all some flavour of ethnically ambiguous, with a quarter being strong girlboss black gals.
I think there's about eight cases, but I gave up at three, because between the poor translation and weird humour, it's hard to really get grounded. Imagine if every other line of Bladerunner was an original Star Trek episode. "We need to finangle the mainline SystemDos to backfeel this into the upper kernal, which will make his synthform waveline capitulate!"
Your first case, I kid you not, a good 60 to 70% of every NPC is gay. You're supposed to find out why a ridiculous, over the top white CEO type swears at you and demands everything to save his boy. The girl stuck with them? Oh, she's a lesbian whore who's dating the secretary. One of the characters? A gay man who literally ends every conversation with [You can feel his eyes leering at your butt as you leave]. If you dig into it, just thinking back on it, it's got a really creepy vibe, too. He's not actually a person. He's a young boy who's physical body died and got uploaded to be some sort of synthetic personality copy? But it's fine! He wears a skin which makes him look like a 60 year old man, because that's how long he's been in there, so really, he's 60 years old, when you think about it.
Of course, the resolution is that the villains? White men. That filthy CEO had been covering up for his frat boy son who has been molesting several women who worked for the company, including the secretary, which is why our lesbian gal tried to trap him in there. While there's no straight morality mechanic, it really felt implied to me that the 'good' end was to leave him with the Jester - where he'd be stuck in cyberspace till his brain was fried and he became a vegetable. Completely appropriate response to some women getting touched up, and being let off with a shit ton of hush money.
The mysteries themselves also just carry on regardless, if you get something wrong, you just change the dialogue somewhat. I began to test it - I'm just going to assume all the white men are the bad guys, all the women and/or minorities are good guys. Guess what? I plug them in as my deductions with the most minimal of evidence. Yep, the bad guy in the Farmville mission is the evil white man sheriff, who loves hanging people and enslaving children in the real world to pick his lootbox crops.
The worst part of this one is in reality. The bad guy was a white... boy? (But the picture is blatantly of a woman), who has been rounding up street kids and putting them to farming lootboxes, because 'really, how is it any different from what you guys do? You get people in to sign their life away doing stuff for money, too.'. I know this is the bad guy saying it, but the few options you have basically -agree- with him that working a 9-5 is just the same as hooking kids on gamercrack and riding them till they die.
So I decided to take the shop over; we'll do this ethnically. Kids can still grind lootboxes and play games to make money, but none of this making them take drugs stuff. Oh, wait, no - I don't have the high level skill which allows me to not be a sociopath. So instantly, my only choices are to either lie to the kids that I'll treat them better, or become a despot - which keep in mind, has never been something my character has done prior. Subtle.
After that, I just tapped the Hell out. Interesting gameplay, and whenever you dig even slightly below the surface, you can't help but feel dirty.

Godot’s not a game. It’s informative, but it doesn’t qualify for the list.

Does the engine being woke make every game using it eligible for the list?

Bah, didn't edit in time and it won't let me update. Almost forgot this regarding Gamedec.
And between all that, I almost forgot to mention why I ended up turned it off. After the case, you've been getting help from a (of course) black afro eGamer who was cheated out of his victory by 'online trolls' (who have all been white so far). You can have a few drinks at your place. You've known the guy all of a day, and you can invite him to fuck you.
Keep in mind, to my knowledge, this is the only 'romantic' option I've seen at all. It's also tied to an achievement. So, if you want 100%, you gotta gay it up.

Fields of Mistria : Medium*
(*the game is in early access, so this rating may change as things are added)Overall a very solid (though still far from complete) farming sim a la Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons or Stardew Valley. I've been really enjoying it, it has a ton of quality of life features that make it much less frustrating to play than a lot of games in the genre. So far the only woke things I've seen are the following:
- Character creation has pronouns which you can change at any point from your character status/customization page:
I have not actually tested to see what some of the odd combinations like He/She or None result in. Notably, none of the NPCs have any kind of strange or ill-fitting pronouns (all the men are he/him and all of the women are she/her, there are no They/Them NPCs)
- The cast of characters is racially diverse.
- Romance currently is very limited due to the game being in early access (relationships can only progress to 4 hearts out of a total of 10, and any interaction/gift-giving beyond that will not increase your relationship level with the character) but you are able to romance any of the available suitors regardless of your or their gender.
- One of the default customization options for your character is a hijab
- There is a cosmetic item you can purchase at one of the shops called "striped ribbon" that has alternate colorways that represent pride flags.

Fields of Mistria is NOT MILD when it has pronouns, pride flags and fucking hijabs! How is that mild??

"It's only mild. It just has every pronoun combination under the sun short of xim/xer, it's chock full of negroes, every suitor is pansexual and able to be attracted to your character, it has Hijab representation for those poor oppressed dune coons, and hair bows customized in the various pride color vomit of current year!"

I think that alone should bump it to heavy.

My mistake, my intention was to mark it as Medium (which is why I used yellow text color) based on OP's criteria:
Things like pronouns and the hijab can easily be glossed over, as ridiculous as they are, and the striped ribbon doesn't even reveal that it has pride flag options until after you buy it (it just looks like a rainbow striped bow on the storefront, which is why I even got it in the first place).
Every suitor being romanceable isn't really an uncommon thing in games with romance mechanics, so while it makes for poor worldbuilding, I wouldn't chalk it up to just being woke.
As for the black people, I suppose I don't really care that much because the setting is fairly generic fantasy and not strictly European, and half of the "black" cast could just as well be some dark-skinned fantasy race (i.e. Redguards in The Elder Scrolls) for as few black features they have. A number of the others could just be tanned.

Not a video game. I saw a post about Godot blocking people on GitHub. There will be a new engine in town soon.
From playground.ru, translated using AI:
Since the beginning of 2023, the domestic game engine Nau Engine has been developed in Russia. And today it became known that already in November he would enter open beta testing, before that there was only closed testing.
The main feature of the Nau Engine — is its openness. Developers will be able to use it for free thanks to the 3-clause BSD license.
But what about this new engine? The Nau Engine boasts a modular architecture and the ability to change subsystems like dice in a constructor. The beta focuses on projects using GameObject — is a more familiar approach for most developers. However, for advanced users there is also an ECS library borrowed from the Dagor engine. The Nau Engine scripting system is not tied to a specific language. In beta, you can write on C ++ and Lua, and this is just the beginning.
Now about «filling ». To work with content, the Nau Engine uses OpenUSD — a kind of Swiss knife to import various types of axes. This greatly simplifies the lives of developers. The rendering system is based on the Dagor engine and so far supports DX12 for Windows. As for physics, then the Jolt engine is in motion, which will allow creating realistic interactions of objects. And the miniaudio — open audio engine is responsible for the sound.
Nau Engine is also suitable for creating multiplayer games. To do this, there is a special game logic replication module based on the GameNetworkingSockets and ASIO libraries. If you are interested in the user interface, then the developers decided not to reinvent the bike and took solutions from the Cocos2dx engine as a basis. And for debugging, the popular library Dear ImGui is used.
And finally — about «movements ». The beta animation system will support both animation on key frames and skeletal animation for characters. The latter are implemented using the ozz-animation library. So the creators of the games will be able to revive their worlds in full.

I predict that will be dead in the water. While the Godot drama has drawn in the occasional cheerleading chud that would probably be happy to use Russian tools, the vast majority of the people blocked by Godot and defected to Redot seem to be radical centrists that said a version of the bland and noncontroversial phrase "Please stay away from politics and fix your engine". Redot's discord is banning both left and right wing political discussion and I can't see too many disenfranchised Godot devs taking up Nau given the controversial nature of the country of origin.

I haven’t bought the game yet but when I looked at the demo ages ago they totally blackwashed characters from the original like D’arcy and there were many original small details just not included. That’s all I could see being wrong with it other than the development problems the studio has had over the course of a few years now (starting too many IPs as projects with not enough quality work). - SS2 ran like shit on my computer and i couldn’t even use the the controls without it crashing out to give an example so hoping the remake will have decent execution when I get around to it.
