    As the first proper DLC expansion to Wolfenstein 2, the best FPS of the year, The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe is incredibly entertaining but isn’t without disappointments. Episode 1 of The Freedom Chronicles is decently sized and plays like an exciting classic linear FPS with the same level of excitement and imagination in the gunplay that made Wolfenstein 2 so entertaining. It’s incredibly fun then, but at the same time there’s nothing here that wasn’t done in Wolfenstein 2. The levels in particular are all re-used assets from the main game, and despite the framing device of Freedom Chronicles as non-canon pulp fiction comics Episode 1 never gets crazy or unique enough to justify that. It’s worth picking up if you’re looking for the best FPS action around, but don’t expect anything new.

    Truly terrible. That this exists, for money, in 2017 is a shame. It's about two hours long, you cannot max any abilities and the story changesTruly terrible. That this exists, for money, in 2017 is a shame. It's about two hours long, you cannot max any abilities and the story changes half way through. What starts out a vengeance tale turns into a rush to stop something called the 'sungun' which had no exposition, only to end as a cutscene which resolved 1/3 of the stories being 'told' here. This wasn't worth $2 let alone the amount Bethesda is charging for it. Dozens of reused assets, still frame cutscenes and bad "1950's comic book" attempt at an aesthetic which runs counter to the rest of the game. Skip this one, it sucks.… Full Review »
