    I gave this game a Zero on release because it crashed and gave black screen and was unplayable. After the first update the game works now smoothly have not had a problem yet with R9 290 at 1080p Ultra settings. Some of you may still have problem but I am speaking for me and my hardware.

    Now on to the game itself. Well the game is fun if you loved The New Order then you will love this

    I hate all propaganda they put in games and moves and bunch of pure politician Bullsh*t and incorrect historical information and events. But this is the world we're living in today its based on a Lies. Either you play the game and ignore these stuff just like me or you skip the game. This game mostly base on shooting stuff and not a story driven game. If you are looking for story then there are better game choices out there.

    Be aware of all the critic reviewers today. They all have been payed on every big game made by a big company like Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft and so on. And most of the Critics gives the same reviews to PC as Consoles when they only played it on Console. Most of them have NO IDEA how the game run on PC. This is getting out of hand and there is absolutely no reliable source no more. To hell with this evil world... Do not trust the critics wait and see for yourself how the game is and runs by watching videos on release.

    I just felt I HAD to give this game a review here to offset ever so slightly all the morons.

    This game is phenomenal. It tells a terrific story and is visually stunning. It seems the negative attention it's receiving is from A) morons who think it is a SJW statement masked as a game. B) (and this one is even more absurd) terribly optimised. To address both, no it is not a SJW

    B) (and this one is even more absurd) terribly optimised.

    To address both, no it is not a SJW peice, it is rather condemning of a Nazi ideology though so if that makes you uncomfortable maybe have a conversation with yourself.

    And secondly, the game is about as well optimised and polished a release on PC this year, hell even the last few years. Both this and Destiny 2 are fantastic examples of how to leverage the power of PC and deliver a visually stunning experience, with performance that scales very well across various configurations.

    The gunplay is fantastic, story is engaging, visual and aural presentation is phenomenal...honestly a standout title of the year. The current 5.6 user rating it has on metacritic is sadly a reflection of the community of gamers and not at all representative of the quality of this title

    Great gunplay, great performance, great story. What more can you want in a shooter? Really enjoying it so far. The alternate history is cool, and the characters are interesting. Definitely recommend buying.

    I’m going to start by saying that I have never played a Wolfstein game before. All developers should look at Wolfstein 2: the new colossus, admire and try to mimic the amount of optimisation that went into this title. The game runs smooth as butter on my 980 ti 4790k, unlike many big budget PC games.
    The story is great, way above your average evil vs good storyline. Controls are fine,

    The story and the overall mood felt quite disjointed and inconsistent in this one. It's like they wanted to go with emotional melodrama at first with BJ's constant ♥♥♥♥♥ing and complaining, the depressing childhood abuse scenes etc. but then at some point they changed their minds and went full crazy with some utterly absurd but hilarious levels and set pieces.

    I thought the crazy bits were genuniely creative and well done, but the "serious" bits were very superficial, boring and drawn out. The characters, although plentiful, were one-dimensional and I didn't really care about any of them.

    The game itself is a lot of fun. Visually it looks great and runs very well, the controls feel good and the shooting is satisfying. Given the crazy unrealistic setting the enemies could have been a bit more diverse, particularly in terms of strategy, but they're still quite fun. The stealth mechanic is very questionable but luckily not forced.

    7/10 for the story (5/10 for the "serious" parts and 9/10 for the crazy parts)
    9/10 for presentation
    8/10 for gameplay

    This game is seriously badass! Weapons feel great! They really pack a punch which makes shooting nazis very very satisfying. I love how slick and smooth movement feels. The graphics are an eye-candy. I spent much of the game just looking at how nicely detailed the enviroment is, especially when exploring Eva's Hammer. The post-war enviroments combined with some very cool soundtracks and sound design make for a great atmosphere which makes just simply moving around in the world a delight.

    Another thing I loved is how lovable each character in the story is. Everyone feels really fleshed out, there's great chemistry between the Kreisau members and the voice acting is top-notch! The cinematics between gameplays are great especially during some wonderfully done comedic moments.

    BAD

    Wolfenstein II is very badly optimized and extremely demanding. Even though I have more powerful hardware than the recommended requirements I still had to lower Image Streaming down 2 levels to High and Shadow Quality down 1 level to Ultra. Even then I still had some very noticeable FPS drops in certain expansive areas. I had just upgraded my PC specifically so I could play this game on max, so this was very disappointing.

    Furthermore, for a game that gives you the power to be a hardcore killing machine it gives you very little opportunities to fully unleash your fury and shoot and destroy to your heart's content. In quite a few action sequences I was like "yeaah finally let's shoot some nazis bang bang die die!" and 20 seconds later everyone is dead. I mean, the action was still satisfying, but I felt like much more could have been done by letting you go on an insane killing spree every once in a while.

    Very good game that keeps to it's roots. The graphics are great and what is the most fun is that this is a true first person shooter I've played since the last wolfenstein came out.
    The story is good, the animations, script, gameplay is great. There is a slight sjw element in this but thank god it's not overbearing.
    Best of all, no microtransactions, no lootboxes and no bs. Just a FPS

    I also love the heavy metal / rock music that plays throughout the game. The credits are great, I know it's weird I'm praising credits but the music mix is great at the end.
    Also I had zero performance issues or sound issues as everyone mentions. I think it's people just looking for reasons to **** on this game.

    I love how they implemented the Wolfenstein Theme into the U.S. and showing off the bigotry of the white supremacy. We get a way more realistic setup and also the characters around us also feel more real then the games before, which felt more like a dumb Duke Nukem vs Nazis, without losing the dark humor Wolfenstein always had
    I am impressed with the map design and the cut scenes.

    Very little doubt the story is going to not fit with everyone but there are two things you need to realize when playing:
    - It's an alternate reality
    - It's a friekin' game, enjoy it for what it is and if the cut-scenes and story upset you then good news: most of them can be skipped!

    So don't get your panties in a bunch like a lot of others appear to have you'll get:
    - A wonderful game that ran smooth as silk for me. A lot of reviews seem to suggest otherwise so I might just have been lucky (hell I never even bothered updating my graphics drivers lol).
    - Excellent gun-play
    - Weapon customisation and a perk system that rewards your particular play style
    - Some really gorgeous looking levels
    - Decent challenging FPS experience that forces you to react quickly making it an adrenaline fueled delight to work your way through.

I am far from finished but even at this stage I can say without doubt that for me personally this may be the best PC video game I have ever played, at least so far. This was unexpected. 'Wolfenstein' is an old franchise. One with a wonderful pedigree for sure but by now I thought that perhaps I had tired of shooting nazis and storming wildly imaginative military industrial complexes. I was wrong.

    The first thing that surprised me is both the depth of the story line and the emotional nuance of the characters. Our hero B.J. Blazkowicz is introduced us through a series of memories from a childhood that is unpleasant to put it mildly. I really like the back story and how we learn it as a frame to his current attitude. But the story line from there only gets deeper and more involved. I haven't cared this much about a character or story line since Vampire Masquerade all the way back in 2004.

    This serves to makes some of the plot changes and 'Game of Thrones' like deaths that much of a shock when they occur. For shocks there are. Be prepared for decapitations and violence on an epic scale. But these are built into the story and game play brilliantly. For this is a thoroughly enjoyable game to play as well as experience. The stealth/melee attacks as as good or better for example as those in 'Far Cry' whilst upgrade able weapons and ranged attacks offer variable options in how to progress levels.

    I also really like the way that sometimes when it seems impossible to make progress, for example after many failed attempts to jump to a rescue, I had to finally realize that I really wasn't meant to escape that way. Pausing, rethinking years of standard game play, I found alternatives ways to move forward. This is refreshing and Machine Games deserve kudos for taking a fresh approach.

    There is also much humour in the game. I laughed out loud to find one nazi officer in his room with a VR headset on oblivious to the carnage going on around him. Another time you get to over hear an enemy celebrate finding a working toilet. These lighter moments are terrific and add enormously to the games enjoyment. I would not describe the scene with Hitler the same way but it was still amazing. This was the first FPS game where I had to grab a pen and paper to write down and memorize an actors lines. That too made me smile.

    If I could ask for more it would have been for more outside, open levels. At one point we come across a parade of nazi soldiers. It would have been enormous fun to wreck havoc with that. All in all this is a wonderful game and for those like myself that may feel the best days of the FPS are over I am pleased to say that this is not so. This game is really terrific.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought my copy of The New Colossus day before its release for a good price. I had very little info about the sequel to 2014 reboot of Wolfenstein franchise. I played the original and enjoyed it for what it was, a single-player story driven FPS, but it did not leave any lasting impressions.
    The New Colossus did not start well, error message right at the start left me with no choice other than to search internet for solution--and I was found relatively quickly, I had to instal latest Nvidia drivers.

    Once I installed latest drivers from Nvidia, the game started and played flawlessly on high settings in 1080p on my i7-4790k with GTX1070--rock solid 60fps, no noticeable slowdowns, no broken geometry or texture popping. Only other problem I have encountered from start to finish of the game were 2 game freezes during loading. I have not fiddled with video settings at all, the game run smoothly and looked amazing at default high settings.

    The game offers continuation of alternative history of WW2. The story was decent with several great characters that were flashed out as much as possible in a FPS game. The story absolutely parodies current political situation and does not shy away from controversial topics such as racism, sexism and spreading of neo-nazi propaganda. It is all in good fun and cartooney approach but there are some graphical moments not for feint of heart.

    I liked the gameplay because it is simplistic in its focus--provide well crafted experience focused on killing enemies, pure and unadulterated mayhem, with optional stealth that worked good enough. Weapon selection is limited to standard set of armaments including pistol, sub-machine gun, assault rifle, electricity-based gun and grenade/rocket launcher. There is also few heavy weapons that can be picked up from static gun posts or from fallen enemies. They have limited ammunition and must be carried in both hands slowing you down and forcing you to drop them on the ground if you want to use some of your standard guns. Gunplay is fine, each weapon feels differently.

    Length of the game is decent, I have finished the story at around 25 hours on Do or Die difficulty setting. Some parts of the game were rather difficult but nothing impossible. Enemy AI is very mobile and once alerted to your presence they can often surprise you by flanking you or coming from behind you. I always found it better to soften enemy forces by applying stealth early in the game levels--this is certainly recommended approach on higher difficulty settings when captains are present on the battlefield.
    I still have several ubercommanders to kill via helm navigation map, which is some kind of meta game on top of story missions. These kill missions are happening in locales you visit during story missions with slight modifications to what enemies are present, their placement and new collectibles.

    Character perk and weapon upgrade systems are good and fit the tune of the game. Character perks are gained naturally by performing specific actions, e.g. killing enemies while dual-wielding or performing stealth takedowns. These perks improve certain aspects of your character--mostly quality of life improvements but some of these perks are very powerful.
    Weapon upgrade system is simple enough but efficient. Upgrades provide improvements to a gun or even add new functionality to it. Upgrades can be toggled on and off so you do not have to worry whether you will like it or not. Weapon upgrade kits are relatively rare but you get enough of them to upgrade your favourite weapon or two. Side mission provide access to additional weapon upgrade kits.

    All in all, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus was very positive surprise for me. High quality production value with slightly funky story that does not take itself too seriously. Once I overcome initial problem with incompatible GPU drivers, the game run smoothly without any major issues. Visuals and sound are great, music fits the theme and some tunes were outstanding. Gameplay is fast-pace with clear focus on combat with light elements of stealth that never felt cumbersome. Enemy AI is serviceable but it will not amaze you.
