    No SLI support means no 4K for most PC systems.
    We are approaching 2018 and it is not tolerable that I'm not able to play 4K with a 4000 euros PC.
    I have a GTX980 Ti SLI, a 5930K six cores 40 lanes CPU, everything overclocked.

    I really enjoyed the previous games of the franchise but not this one.

    PROS: Good graphics + Cool guns + Correct checkpoints

    CONS: no controller mapping!!! i can't believe in 2017 a big game like this don't allow you to swap axis (i'm use to walk with the right stick and shoot with left) or refine other buttons

    Couldnt bring myself to finish the game, it got way to political, I like killing nazi's as much as the next guy, but I feel it was too cringey at times, and was obviously talking about the "nazi's" present in America right now. I tried my best to ignore the political message, but it was too hard at times.

    Good game, follows on from the two earlier titles. Character and story is spot on, until Grace a really annoying character. She is also introduced oddly... with the rest of it done so well its a shame.

    Графика, эффекты и визуальный дизайн отменный, постановка шикарна, но стрельбы могло бы быть и поменьше так как из-за мелких недочётов вроде не очень отзывчевого управления под конец начинает надоедать.

    while The New Order was new and fresh, and actually was a true "Wolfenstein" game, this one is nothing of the sorts.

    The first and foremost problem that comes into my mind is: STEALTH SECTIONS!!! are you crazy?? Stealth in a wolfenstein game???? If I wanted to play Thief, I would play Thief, not Wolfenstein! This game should be all about cartoonish action (like The New Order was), over    while The New Order was new and fresh, and actually was a true "Wolfenstein" game, this one is nothing of the sorts.

    Instead here you're forced through endless stealth section, poorly executed, killing enemies with your axe. It's just stupid.

    Of course stealth sections were added to hide the fact that this game is 4-5 hours in length without them, it's a cheap gameplay tactic when you have no idea what to do, so you just thrown in lengthy stealth sections that will stretch the gameplay a few hours and call it a day.

    The next issue falls in the "Alien: Colonial Marines" (or No Man's Sky..) category: THIS GAME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WAS SHOWN AT E3!!! It's impressive that no one noticed that! They clearly rushed an unpolished and unfinished game, just to cash in on the success of previous Wolfenstein entries, without spending too much money on development. The games feels unfinished and released "as-is". There's nothing here of what was shown during the presentation.

    On the technical side, I was not expecting much, the idTech engine used here is old and it shows, but that's rarely an issue with me, I don't care much about graphics.

    Yes the game is very politicized and it has all the "pc" cliches, but that's a cheap trick to get high reviews today, don't fall for it. You make a bad movie/game, you throw in a woman/black/whatever hero and boom, you get 10/10. Same that happened with Star Trek: Discovery. But we should review the game here, not the politics, so I'm not commenting on it. And it should not cloud your judgement in anyway. In the end, Bethesda has to sell, like every company. And to sell you need to follow trends. Today "politically correct" is a trend, a sort of "product" to sell, and you have to exploit it if you want to survive. Then it's up to you making a good or bad product with it.

    I had no technical issues of the sort, no freezes, no crashes, nothing. But this does not change the fact that the game is as bad as it can be.

    Don't buy this game at full price, what until it drops to something like 29 or 39.    … Expand

    Честно говоря я даже не знаю с чего и начать, с того что я разочарован или с того что это один из самых хороших шутеров, что я когда либо играл. Я не буду упоминать Нью Ордер, просто не буду, так как это не имеет смысла.
    Вся игра представляет собой запуск миссии из подобия коммандного центра, но в тоже время остается полностью линейной, к тому же сильно удобрена длинными катсценами. К шутерной механике я не имею никаких претензий, это вариативно, апгрейды оружия, улучшения перков в зависимости от стиля игры и так далее. Музыка мне лично очень сильно напоминает Дум. Левел дизайн сделан на высочайшем уровне.
    И вот на этом плюсы к сожалению и заканчиваются.
    Но вот тут начинается самое интересное - сюжет. Игра несет игрока через гущу событий так быстро насколько это максимально возможно и знаете ради чего? Чтобы абсолютно позорно и глупо слится к концовке. Я не буду спойлерить концовку, но она, честно, убогая. Она просто никакая. Все эти сюжетные вау моменты и крутости некоторых постановочных сцен просто нивелируются этой странной концовкой. (Стоит кстати отметить, что тема Гитлера раскрыта очень хорошо, запоминается так сказать).
    И вот теперь мы так плавно подходим к технической части. И вот тут тоже полный, кхм, ужас. Я не буду ничего говорить про производительность, однако мне бы хотелось знать указанные рекомендованные для каких настроек? 970~1060 и эта самая 970 не держит стабильных 60 на ультра, не говоря уже про убер или мейне либе. Вылетов, крашей и зависаний как у ораторов в отзывах я не наблюдал, поэтому скорее всего опять компы через одно место собрали и ноют, однако лично у меня была иногда проблема что во время взрывов вместо эффекта собственно взрыва было большое черное пятно на экране, не знаю в чем причина. Потом не совсем понимаю смысла выпускать игру исключительно на вулкане, ведь есть видеокарты этот самый вулкан не поддерживающие, но который спокойно бы вытянули бы игру в 720п на минималках. Почему не дать выбор меж опенгл и вулкан, как это реализовано в думе? Не понимаю.
    В целом игра на 910, но концовка очень сильно портит впечатление.    … Expand

    Was mir nicht so gut gefallen hat ist das der Höhepunkt eigentlich nicht das Ende des Spiels sondern sich in der Mitte befunden hat. *spoilerwarnung* Man besucht Area 52 ... jagt dort ne Atombombe hoch .. und unterhalb der Höhle soll Alien Technologie sein.. warum darf ich da nicht hin ... dann fliegt man zur Venus !!!!!!!!!!! und trifft sich mit Adolf Hilter ... den hätte ich verflucht gerne getötet ... das Ende dagegen wo man General Engel den Schädel spaltet ist zwar okay aber eben nicht dieses MEGA Highlight. *spoilerende* Auch Story mässig hätten sie mehr machen können wo man merkt ok wir starten eine Revolution. Man wird nicht belohnt dafür das man ein 100 % Ende versucht... die Enigma Maschine die paar Zusatzmissionen freischaltet hätte mehr Teil der Hauptstory sein sollen die die Story vorantreibt ... so ist es nur ein optionales unwichtiges nice to have ...

    This is just a mediocre fps with a big flaw story and characters. Story is pure political and anti white SJW propaganda that should never be in any game. Also saving world from Nazis who used atomic bombs is pure irony because they were not the ones that have used nuclear weapons to end World War 2.

    another problem is politics. the inclusion of bj's father. the stereotypical boogie man of the click bait press: straight white male, wife beater, anti-semite, racist anti black, complaining about the plight of the straight white male.

    and last 2 of the most bizarre scenes i've ever seen in a game. 1st is the pissing/vomiting hitler. 2nd is anya pregnant and topless in the trenches with bj near the finale.    … Expand

    Let me first get the political context out of the way, since it seems to be all the rage in the discussions about this game around the web: if you think that the presence of an anarchist and black resistance group makes this game communist propaganda, you really need to leave the little bubble you're living in more often. Similarly, if you are offended by the notion of the game addressingLet me first get the political context out of the way, since it seems to be all the rage in the discussions about this game around the web: if you think that the presence of an anarchist and black resistance group makes this game communist propaganda, you really need to leave the little bubble you're living in more often. Similarly, if you are offended by the notion of the game addressing collaboration with the Nazi regime as well as the complacency of society towards it, it is probably worth taking a crash course in history. It is true that not all the characters and motifs work in The New Colossus' over-the-top story, but the complaints that some offended internet warriors have labeled against it are quite ridiculous.

    With that out of the way, I would first list the aspects of the game that I found lacking:

    - level design is not nearly as inspired or complex as in the New Order or even The Old Blood
    - while the cutscenes are exceptional for the most part, it would be worth the extra effort not to have them pre-rendered in an uneven quality but be done in-engine.
    -while the game is not short in its own right, playtime does feel significantly reduced compared to the New Order.
    - the Oberkommando assassination missions are a repetitive and mostly redundant addition; the energy and resources would have been better spent in making the original levels larger and more engaging.
    - this is a very subjective and personal gripe, but I hated the cocky heavy metal music track during the end titles. They could have stuck with something much more subtle yet powerful. Given the game's retro vibe, I'm sure MachineGames would have been more than able to come up with better ideas.

    On the positive side (and there are plenty):

    + most of the game's characters are well-written and great attention is given to small story beats that make them feel unique. i found Sigrun particularly brilliant from beginning to end.
    + game maintains the outlandish retro-futuristic vibe of its predecessor very well.
    + even though the levels are uninspiring, the settings are impressive and varied, especially some off-beat parts exploring the main hero's past and his acting skills...
    + despite it being beyond ridiculous and jumping the shark several times, the story still manages to deliver a good mixture of strong narrative and character moments.
    + game ran flawlessly on mid-tier hardware (only issue I encountered was a buggy sky box at points).
    + gun play is just as visceral and effective as in the New Order and Old Blood.

    While the New Colossus may not be as fresh and surprising, nor as grand in its level design as its predecessors were, it continues the series' MO of filling B.J. Blazkowicz's outlandish story with attention to characters and world-building. Combined with the swift and visceral gameplay, this makes MachineGames' new project yet another game that no single player lover should miss.    … Expand

    More of the usual hordes of enemies against a single player instead of less in numbers and more in intelligent plans of attack. Enemies spawning behind the player in impossible areas is just lazy programming to creat a false difficulty rating. The lack of a chapter replay feature, present in all other Wolfenstein games, is a big loss.

    Fast-paced and shooter with an interesting story. A ton to collect and upgrade. The only thing that really bugs me, is the platinum trophy, which is simply impossible. Why? You have to finish the game in one attempt on (8-12 hours) "Mein Leben", which means the difficulty is extremely hard, no checkpoints, savepoints but permadeath. A bit exaggerated and a turn-off for trophy hunters.

Taken together these minor flaws are enough to ruin any otherwise potentially good game however they are not the main problem with this FPS. The main problem I have with this game is that the controls are terrible. Swimming is ridiculously stupid, you feel like you're swimming through some extremely odd viscous fluid and you can only hold your breath for about 20s before you start taking damage. Beyond that traversing the world is made artificially difficult. You will often find yourself in position where any normal human being would jump a half a foot up, grab a railing and climb over it. In this game however such feats of common dexterity are made impossible resulting in janky puzzles you have to solve when you really just want to vault the f'ing railing.

Sure, you can usually spot health bonuses and ammo, but when the sh*t hits the fan, good luck spotting this easy-to-miss items. So in firefights, you're just running around hitting E all the time.

    Sometimes you get stuck on the edges of obstacles that look like you should be able to get around, there's the stupid "hold a button to pick up an item" trope that makes you die when you're trying to unmount a heavy weapon. The controls and gameplay feel slow and sluggish, a horrible fit for this kind of game. There's terrible input latency, which would be fine for a JRPG, but for Wolfenstein or any really fast-paced shooter, this really hurts the quality of the gameplay severely.

    The graphics are just okay. They're not bad, but in 2017 in a major-budget action game, I expect a lot more. There's barely even any dynamic lighting. With games like Quantum Break showcasing passable global illumination a couple years ago, there's no excuse why Wolfenstein II shouldn't also be using some sort of GI technique, except that they went with the ID Tech 6 engine when better choices exist. While the graphics in this game won't make your eyeballs bleed, don't expect to have your socks knocked off.

    The often slow-paced and frankly boring-as-hell cutscenes really break up the gameplay momentum. Fortunately, you can skip these, and you might as well, since the story is unoriginal, uncreative, and just plain boring. At least the voice acting is good, but with such a boring story, it all goes to waste.

    This game is yet another overhyped pile of crap. If this is what people think is a good game, then I fear for the future of the video game industry in general. I hope you like free-to-play Android games, because if Wolfenstein II is any indication of what's considered cutting-edge triple-A material, then it won't be long until people get sick of AAA titles, stop buying them, and nobody makes them anymore.    … Expand

    The game play alone is standard action shooter, I'd give it 7/10. It's fun, you get to blow people with big guns or melee. It's gory and exciting. For a while.

    But the real reason what I give it only 3 out of 10 is SJW propaganda. I mean if I'm paying for the game leave the propaganda out of it. It's sad and insulting to expect for people to pay for it.

    This weekend just past I played 'Wolfenstein II The New Collossus' for more than 10 hours. 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.

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.    … Expand

    The story and the overall mood felt quite disjointed and inconsistent in this one.

    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.

It goes very well in the settings of occupied U.S. of A. as, surprise surprise, there were (and are) a lot of black people in the country. Deal with it you racist pricks.
    Story is not too complicated but well executed. The cruelty of Frau Engel and her band of morons gave me shiver up my spine. The readable documents nicely contributed to the complexity of the world and pictured the nazi hate to untermenschen and their total lack of care for the lives of non-nazis, which were treated as livestock.
    Gameplay is nicely fast paced and fluent as in the previous games.
    I would give it a 10, but it seems that they focused primarily on the story and forgot to implement boss battles or any remarkable enemies.
    All in all a very good game which could be better if there were bosses or any other notable (and killable) enemy characters other than Frau Engel which you also see like 3 times total.

Weird texture bugs, some clipping problems are icing on the cake.
    While story and the characters being arguably good and voice acting perfect; in the first half of the game there is a cutscene or level transition for every 10 nazis you kill and it gets very annoying getting murderblocked like that. After every mission you go to hub and get some exposition, which promotes storytelling but diminishes gameplay. If you are expecting constant nazi killing and action, too bad. The storytelling parts are trying to give too many political messages, you'd think the game is made as progressive leftist propoganda material. It would be good if it had diversity and anti racism undertones but in here they tried to fit every issue ever brought up by leftists to this day. The mild wackiness of the previous titles has gone up to eleven and prevents you to take this game a bit more seriously. Hovewer intentionally or not, some moments are going to make you laugh out loud. There are no boss fights, the only thing closest to a boss is the big mechs similar to the previous titles. The ending makes the game feel like it's cut short, like MGSV.
    Gameplay is very similar to the previous titles with some new types of enemies like combat robots. For some reason footsoldiers have more health but armored enemies are weaker. You can upgrade your weapons and later in the game you can get some interesting character upgrades. Gameplay is bloody and fluid, enemies play agressively and will give you a fight but it doesn't mean they are smart.
    Game looks good and yields high performance even on older rigs. The only issue I had with graphics aside from bugs is the contrast, everything is either too bright or too dark. Good for setting a style, but hurts the gameplay.
    Overall, it can be bought a year or two later with DLCs as an actually finished and playable game, I recommend you to avoid it like plague in its current state and price.    … Expand

Save your money, this one isn't worth the time.

Shooting Nazis is fun and if you find yourself upset with the idea of a brutal Fascist regime being taken apart brick by brick, it says more about you than the media. I will say, however, I believe the developer embraced the controversy as a way to hype a game they knew was deeply mediocre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I could properly play the game, the game itself crashed my graphic drivers. I spent 2 hours, looking how to fix that, and all I had to do was, I just had to turn off motion blur.
    Game itself is meh. Stealth got ruined, if your shot is not well placed and an enemy spots you, that's it, the alarm will go up. Enemies can easily spot you and instantly alarm goes on, stealth mechanics in TNO were way better. You will not be able to complete a level 100% stealth. New guns feel weak, they sound like guns from CoD. Storytelling is kinda ok, but they push leftist agenda over proper storytelling.

    The leader of Kreisau circle dies, her place is taken by most unlikable character ever. Grace. MachineGames probably tried to make her look cool and badass, but I hated her, she tries to be a leader, she swears a lot, tells everyone what to do, and it made me cringe so hard. Creators of the game pushed most of that agenda through her (how America is weak and submitted to Nazi's, white people are racist, it's men's fault that Manhattan got nuked, "balls of steel" is a term, that Grace thinks should be more feminine and doesn't like that and the only ones that put up a fight against Nazis are mostly black people, so on and so on). From a zero-f*ck giving Nazi killing machine, Blazkowicz got turned into a little-b*tch, that constantly whines about everything. Internet is full of political correctness and such, I expected to play a game where I can brutally murder Nazi's but instead I got a game, where political correctness, anti-white propaganda is showed down your throat. Soundtracks aren't heavy metal anymore, which pumped me up in TNO, instead it's some loud music, even doing stealth plays. When you f*ck up during stealth in TNO, heavy metal starts playing. But here, the same type of music is playing throughout the level. Heavy enemies, for example supersoldaten are less threatening, and its enough to shoot half a clip of submachine gun into his head to kill him.

    During the section where you find out who is sending signals, Supersoldaten that are in Section F are the new type of Supersoldaten, not the old ones. Same goes for the new type of cyber-dogs, that you kill in a sealed off section of the U-Boat, when you try to close a gas leak. You can see how low of an effort was put in.

    During the most dangerous missions (for example the New Orleans one), Anya tags along with Fergus (or Wyatt) to help him. Now, what the actual f*ck. The U-boat is FULL OF REBELS, but instead they send Anya, who is pregnant WITH TWINS to fight the war! What about Bombate or many other "fighters"?

    Overall, the game is a flop. Storywise it's a huge flop, because it has many plotholes in it, gameplay wise it's a flop too, because the stealth is ruined, guns are weak, enemies are not threatening. MachineGames f*cked up for good, and this shows, that you shouldn't get hyped up for a game. I got stuck at levels, because I didn't know where to go, because there were no proper objective markers. And the most annoying were U-boat intersections, because U-boat is a labyrinth, and you have to navigate your way through it, doing side quests and whatnot.    … Expand

    While it loses some of the elements of the new order that made it so great from a technical perspective it's very positive. The story is underwhelming but it isn't the main focus here. The gameplay hasn't changed much since the previous game which isn't a bad thing however some alterations would have been preferred.

    Killing Nazis is even more fun when the story provides context through character growth, conflict and excellent voice acting.

    There are some corny bits and the story does go in some controversial directions just by virtue of it's subject matter combined with the current social/political atmosphere. Which is an alarming situation that has nothing to do with this game but a sad sign of the times :( Where were all these snowflakes when Mafia 3 came out?

    The graphics don't seem to match the toll they take on performance but I really dig the style which serves the setting very well and creates a nearly perfect realization of location, tone and feel. Nothing feels out of place except the resistance, Perfect!

    It took about 20 minutes to disable the Vulcan bits that don't jive well on NVIDIA cards. Finding the fix was only one search and 2 clicks away.

    Much like Doom and The New Order, the devs don't overthink the gameplay. Kill bad guys, move the story, rinse repeat. While every other AAA game today lives or dies by it's open world combined with coop MP and pointless loot boxes containing fashionable armor designed to shoehorn an RPG in to pad gameplay, Wolfenstein 2 keeps it simple while achieving mechanical mediocrity on a grand scale and I love it!

    I give it a solid 8:
    + Gameplay is exciting
    + The setting is perfectly realized and eerily topical (weird times we live in, not games fault)
    + The story keeps the action honest throughout. The stakes always feel high.
    - Performance. There are easy fixes for NVIDIA users. I hate to subtract for this. PC gaming can be complicated but great power requires great responsibility, which equals amazing results. But I wish it had an NVIDIA button that disables the Vulcan bits that don't jive well on Maxwell/Pascal. I'm sure this will be patched but this is the current state.

    Final score goes to 10 for offending snowflakes. Where were all these people when Mafia 3 came out?    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    The New Colossus is the direct sequel to the new order… Spoilers for the first game you don’t die at the end… once again you play as William Blazkowicz, and while you don’t die in the first game... you are left wheelchair bound… which makes for a really unique opening to game...
    and one of the most brutal openings to a video game I’ve ever experienced..
    You don’t stay this way forever thanks to a body suit you’re able to walk again…
    This time the game takes place in America...
    Once again in an alternate history where the Nazis won the war…
    seeing how this win affected America is thought provoking, and full of emotion…
    Easily one of the most impactful campaigns I’ve ever played through in a shooter…
    Here you’re starting to spark a revolution and take back America, killing some Nazi scum…
    Wolfenstein 2 is a much more compact game compared to the original, this time only taking around 6 and a half hours to complete…
    But it’s an enjoyable 6 and a half hours...
    much more linear as well with the same concepts of taking out scouts so they don’t trigger alarms, and stealthing through areas or going in guns blazing…
    The weapon variety isn’t as vast, but you have your typical base weapons you’d expect in most shooters... but to bring some variety in, your guns are all upgradable, allowing you to add a perk to give them an entirely different feel….
    The level design isn’t that great this time around…
    it feels pretty dull and generic…
    The greatness comes in the setting and the story telling…
    when the game puts you into perspective of the world around you..
    Without the great story pieces, this is still a good shooter… but just good...
    There are no epic fights or showdowns…
    Just a bunch of running from point a to b and shooting everything in your way…
    it plays and feels how you’d expect, but no moments outside of cut scenes blew me away
    I love how the story was delivered though, in ways you wouldn’t expect and are surprising each time…
    This game will break your heart, it will give you hope, it will take it away…
    for those reasons alone, you owe it to yourself to play through this first person shooter…

    Pros
    - Great Story - there are few instances when you'll feel like that the game is about to be completed, and then Boom!!, it sill be something out of the unexpected. The plot is great and they have improved a lot.

    - Great Graphics - the new engine is great

    - Amazing Gameplay - Also, similar to Doom, there are sort of Glory kills, which works great. In fact, they have improvised it, when you opt for Glory Kill from front, the NPCs will try to attack you automatically, for instance when you click glory kill, the NPCs will try to kick you and you'll grab his leg and will chop it off, and so on...

    - Even the cutscenes are great.

    - Great acting and dialogues - for instance main villain, supported NPCs (check-out the strawberry milkshake scene), BJ Blazkowitch monologues, and so on...

    - Good music

    - Enough of aww moment, such as riding the dog, beheading, some great fight sequence, etc.

    Cons
    - there are a few fps dips
    - game freezes a few times
    - only single player, yet this is what this game was meant to be.

    I've almost completed the game, so far it is all great. Didn't regret playing any of it.

    On the other hand, what i found here that AC Origins got a lot of 10/10 user ratings, this let me doubt that whether AC Origins is paying people / bots to rate their product better and Wolfenstein with the low grade. For instance, most user review for Wolf.. they criticize about the storyline / politics and stuff. On the other hand for AC origins, the reviews that i've read such as the game works great on FX 8350 with GTX 1050ti on auto detect graphics settings, buying it from uplay instead of steam, makes the game run more smoother, uplay offers rewards so no need to pay for perks, and so on...

    I would strongly recommend people to go for this game, don't go with the user ratings that you see here, play for yourself and judge. I would give it 9 coz of a few graphical issues that i've faced.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cutscenes. lots of Cutscenes. I was screaming at my monitor by the end of the game, how dare they put those moments in grainy, 30FPS, 720p cutscenes. even a quick time event would have been preferable.
    The gameplay is a little rough. They took TNO's gameplay, and applied sandpaper. Stealth is pointless now, you aren't going to be able to successfully stealth it, yet the game features so heavily on commanders and stealth kills.
    The story is OK. not quite as grasping as the previous games, and quite wishy washy and muddied.
    Back to cutscenes. so many cutscenes. anything important that happens is in a cutscene, and this is a shame. there are many beautiful interactive moments back at the home base, and it is a shame this wasn't expanded to the rest of the game. Of course certain scenes have to be cutscenes, but there were far to many.
    Lets also not forget the "it as only a dream" level. And how there are many obvious open ended plot points (and a few plotholes that only a second playhtouigh may clear up)
    As for the bugs, the game ran very smooth for me on a mid-high PC, but a few issues with mouse pointer popping up, broken level waypoints and the odd texture / mesh glitch. two hard crashes (during cutscenes, now you see why i'm not keen on them!)
    Either way, 15 hours of entertainment, may consider trying to 100% it, don't feel empty, but don't feel full (and i'm someone who very much focuses on 100% games)

    I was hoping for a game, but instead I got politics. It's really hard to enjoy a game when you feel like the developer is just using their game as a vehicle to let you know how they view the US and it's people.

    Sadly, there are a lot more problems than just the politics. The characters themselves, the character models, dialog, and story are terrible. My favorite person in the game was Sigrun Engel. What does that say about the other characters in the game, including BJ?

    The actual game play is good, but it's almost impossible to enjoy the game considering all of the other flaws. It's hard to believe this game was made by the same developer that made the last game. I really liked that game. Now it seems like even that game is tarnished. It makes me wonder if some of the programmers from Mass Effect Andromeda got hired by Machine Games.    … Expand

    Overall a good game. The gameplay is fun, storyline is good, very good optimization as well, I don't have a beast pc and I could play this game in 1080 on medium with 60+ fps, no fps drops, no freezes. People who voted negative are honestly retarded, talking about racism and **** guys its a **** game stop getting offended.

    This game is just amazing. The story by far the best story from all the wolfenstein's. I was so hyped for this game, and it really delivered.

This game had me crying and heartbroken on some parts but having lots of fun on others and laughing a lot because of the jokes and cutscenes. They really did well with the mix of funny and serious. Honestly Bethesda seems to never let me down, bugs usually come with all games so I'm just used to it, so I don't count it as a way to lower my review, but I would definitely give this a 10. It's such a good game, and I really enjoyed it.… Expand

    To those giving a ZERO because they can't run the game: that's like saying you don't like a restaurant that you've never eaten at. Come on. I mean, I get it; it's annoying that it clearly needs a patch for some users, but don't rate the game a ZERO and pretend like you've played it. Don't give it a rating until you've actually played it. Wait for a patch, then write a bad review if you don't like it.

Now to people that say no multiplayer......... just **** off.......yep simply put **** off, you knew this game was not going to have multiplayer so using that as a detractor is like buying a car knowing it's a three door and then complaining to the manufacturer that it doesn't have five,which quite simply makes you sounds a remtard short of trying to bite your own ear off while trying to use your fingers to touch your wrists.

    My hat goes off to the developers who have poured time, effort and love in to this game and have created something that hasn't been seen in modern gaming for the last 20 years,and with the recent craze of loot boxes, DLC and season passes suffocating games in a cloud of greed it's a welcome change for a developer to show how things should be done, so please support games like these and hopefully EA, Ubisoft and other "AAA" developers will take note and stop producing games for the sole purpose of testing how tight they can squeeze their consumers ****

If you ignore the cutscenes and setting, with the worst characters i have ever seen in a video game, you can get a few decent hours of fun out of the shooting, the problem is that you can't separate the plot, story and characters from the game.

    It beats you over the head with some of the dumbest commentary i have ever listened to. It's so bad it's like a caricature of a caricature. when you go that far it just becomes silly and tiresome.

    Enjoyed the previous games. But this seems to be Bethesda laziness showing as usual. They haven't really created anything new and this just seems to be a rehash of what they had before with some blended cutscenes, like what they did with Fallout 4.

    6 hours in now.

    I have a few issues, especially when comparing to WF 1. 1. First of all, too many damn cutscenes! I swear the game is 50% nazi killing and 50% cutscene watching. I normally love cutscenes in games but WF2 really went overboard with them. 2. The maps are small, too small. Nothing compared with the huge maps of WF1.

    2. The maps are small, too small. Nothing compared with the huge maps of WF1. When you finish a level you will go "Wait, that was it?".
    3. No epic fights by now. Nothing like the London Monitor from WF 1.
    4. Story has a couple of cringy moments, and I'm not talking about the free use of gore during cutscenes, I'm talking about moments where you would go "no way that could happen!". Not gonna spoil anything. Or "Come on, white ass nazis" said by an actual white guy, go figure.
    5. Lip syncing...non existing. Not only the characters barely move their lips during dialogues (and are certainly not in sync) but I was in this town and a woman was talking to a nazi officer and their lips didn't move at all despite the obvious voice acted dialogue.
    6. Obvious plot holes here and there.

    Shooter of the year! It plays great, looks spectacular and sounds amazing. What’s more, despite an apparent lack of seriousness it’s not afraid to bring up difficult subjects, mixing comedy and tragedy in a stunning way. It’s a ridiculously good game. [13/2017, p.30]

    The re-ignited fight against the swastika is great action fun once again. It is a pity that a story is not intriguing enough, and it applies to it: what’s long, is stupid. [Issue#280]

    Hopefully, by the time Machine Games starts work on Wolfenstein 3, they will find a writer who understands that fast-paced action does not mix well with protagonist’s constant complaining. [Issue#225, p.52]
