    Overall seems like an improved version of Wolfenstein - The New Order. Has good replay value.

    I don't like the new weapon switching, but got used to it.

    I experienced FPS drops/glitches where sometimes when I load the game I would get 1/3rd the normal FPS.

    Sound quality isn't great, similar to the previous game.

    Great sequel to previous one :)
    Almost a masterpiece for me. One biggest issues I have with this game was a backtracking....
    Everything else like graphics, atmosphere and story is outstanding :)
    DON'T BUY DLS - not worth :)

    Great game, better then Doom 2016 which was total garbage in my opinion. The best performance i got in ages on my low end amd gpu. I would like to see BJ's psychopathy getting addressed in a future dlc.

    An underwhelming experience that manages not to be very fun despite plenty of opportunity to be so. The environments and locations are beautifully realized but difficult to navigate. Characters are interesting and brought to life by incredible voice talent, but I felt little connection to any other than B.J. Gun play and combat have all the right pieces, but none of them work together.An underwhelming experience that manages not to be very fun despite plenty of opportunity to be so. The environments and locations are beautifully realized but difficult to navigate. Characters are interesting and brought to life by incredible voice talent, but I felt little connection to any other than B.J. Gun play and combat have all the right pieces, but none of them work together. Many of the perks that are earned through gameplay are nearly impossible to achieve while others fall into the player's lap. For example, I maxed out headshot and dual-wielding perks within a few missions, but I couldn't find enough grenades in the game to reach level 1 of the grenade kills perk by the time credits rolled. Stealth is encouraged, but levels are not designed to make it a viable alternative to going in guns blazing. And even so, combat is often confusing and lacks precision. I came in ready to love this game, but left disappointed. Each individual piece was fine on its own, but none of if worked together.… Expand

    The continuation of a good FPS. No better and no worse than the first part. This is still an interesting shooter with an interesting world and idea.
    Unusual staging in cutscenes and excellent shootout won't let you get bored. Also interesting characters (especially Blazkowicz) help you to love this game. But useless stealth spoils a lot!!
    And i don't love FPS so much, so only 7.

    Visually the game is impressive, no complaints there. What was most disappointing to me is how unimpactful and rushed the story and characters felt compared to The New Order.

    The game starts off on a high note but quickly devolves into a snoozefest the writers consider "comedy" with ridiculous plot twists and a very abrupt ending. Everything is very anti-climactic and the entire thing feels like it should've been the prologue, so what you end up doing half the time is walking around a submarine doing silly fetch missions, killing Übercommanders (which has ZERO impact on progression), and watching cutscenes, that are, to the dev's credit, quite well made. The rest of the time it's the same run-and-gun where everything kills you in two hits, or stealth, which is significantly easier than just shooting everything.

    The New Colossus also has some very baffling design choices:

    - No dedicated 'map' button. The only way to access the map is to visit the journal, which sometimes decides to default to a different tab, so viewing a map sometimes requires 3 button presses.

    - No way to bind the fire button for the left and right weapons when in dual wield if you don't wish to shoot your gun with the right mouse button and aim down sights with the left mouse button.

    - No option for aim toggle.

    - Mouse sensitively when hip firing differs from the aiming/zooming sensitivity and cannot be altered.

    - Excessive and nauseating head bobbing. I HIGHLY recommend downloading New Colossus Tweaker and reducing head bob from 1.0 to at least 0.5.

    - Changing weapons has a very long animation which makes no sense for a shooter that's meant to be fast paced. On higher difficulties selecting another weapon or even changing from single to dual wield in the middle of a fight WILL be the cause of your death because of how unnecessarily long this animation is.

    - Poor level design in some instances. For example, many locations have small objects or crevices on the floor that prevent you from properly moving over them and cause you to get stuck on them as if they were a wall, which is highly disruptive when in combat. Same issue happens when trying to sneak through a door frame that has a slightly elevated bottom part (like on a submarine) and you can't go over it because apparently nobody thought it was an important enough issue to address.    … Expand

    Actual problems with the game:
    The ability to be stealthy in this game is at best inconsistent and at worst laughable. The levels are not well balanced. There seem to be far too many weapons, given that you only use two to three of them for the most part.

    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.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра в принципе интересная,если рассматривать ее только как тир. Тут мы играем за терминатора,которой на инвалидной коляске Не умирает за несколько выстрелов от немецких солдат. То есть, в армию берут штурмовиков из звездных войн,которые при всем при этом еще и глухие.Если я просто иду,то на меня агриться огромное количество солдат,но если я иду на ctrl то все - Я неуязвим для ушей противника.Я спокойно расстреливаю солдат с пулемета, и даже если они что-то крикнут,то тревога не поднимется. Слишком убогая стелс-система. Угол обзора вражеских солдат меньше чем 90 градусов. По поводу стрельбы - с ней все хорошо. Тебе на протяжении всей игру не кажется,что оружие пластмассовое. Есть игры,в которых ты наводишься на одну точку,зажимаешь целую обойму в стену,и отдачи будто-бы нет.Здесь все не так. Тебя трясет как больного эпелепсией во время приступа. И казалось бы,ну вроде все не плохо,за что 6? Сюжет в этой игре просто отвратительный. СПОЙЛЕРЫ: Как можно брать на борт дочку генерала нацистской армии?Почему я не могу убить капитана-наркомана?Почему меня заствляют зачищать огромный нацистский корабль со своей беременной женой?Почему нет права выбора.
