I doubt it, but it's probably getting extra attention because it's the first big-budget game I remember with a really in-your-face push of woke. Albeit I think some of it was in BF1 if I remember correctly, at least there was some parts about women. Only at the very least slightly more historically accurate.
I wouldn't put Mass Effect Andromeda higher than Gears 5 or Horizon either. I suspect it's just there because no one liked the game.
That and BFV rewrote actual history to the point that some of even the woke reviewers out there learned of the real mission to destroy the heavy water factories in Norway and the fact real people died undertaking that mission that rewriting it so it's a mother/daughter team was completely disrespectful.
Especially since there were real women who served on the eastern front that would have made for "woke" roles that were actually faithful to history. They could have highlighted the Night Witches or the woman who bought a tank to avenge her husband or the female snipers of Stalingrad. But they didn't. It was a lazy rewrite of history that dishonored the memories of those who gave it all as to why I never even touched it.
BF1 I think had one story that involved a Bedouin woman which doesn't fit with their culture at all, but things like revolts sometimes has people taking on unusual roles as well. It's just not something I've heard a lot about, but I'm not an expert on WWI. I should have studied it more as it was the cause of all the wars since, but I was much more into the Cold War era...
