    The 9 instead of 10 is for the few glitches which caused me to restart the level. But other than that it was an absolutely fantastic game. Play it through quickly or take time to find hidden treasures and listen to the conversations of the characters before killing them, Excellent and engaging work.

    Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein are two great titles and so is Wolfenstein: The New Order. The graphics aren't something unique but are well done. The Nazi killing is fun. Unlike the other games in the series, The New Order has a really great story. The missions are clever and well designed. The game is fun to replay and I had even more fun replaying with an Enigma code mode.Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein are two great titles and so is Wolfenstein: The New Order.

The only thing I didn't liked about the game was the loading times when you die - they are too long for me. Despite that Wolfenstein: The New Order is wonderful first-person shooter and a wonderful addition to the series. From 2 to 6 I give in VERY GOOD 5. Expand

    They had made the game that gave me back the love to the single player shooters. This shooter is with action, stealth and the opportunity to make different choices. The plot is awesome, the alternative world that can bring you in game is perfect, the characters and a lot of more are done on a highest level. Good job!!!
    P.S. First aid kits, I missed you so much as well as I missed Nazis in

    Amazing, this game has remastered this series, I hope that they make future games for it. But before i end i have to say 2 things: one is that the sexual bits were not nessisary and 2 is that all the people that give it a 0 is a dougebag

    Absolutely FANTASTIC game. I wasn't sure what I was getting into considering the older "Wolfenstein" games during the Xbox/PS2 generation. I am SO GLAD I took the jump into this.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC game. I wasn't sure what I was getting into considering the older "Wolfenstein" games during the Xbox/PS2 generation. I am SO GLAD I took the jump into this.

    Gameplay: The shooting mechanics themselves are solid as a rock. Each gun gets it's own secondary firing function which you unlock gradually. Some of the weapons you don't even open fully until the very end of the game, so you're always getting something new to play with. You also have skill trees, which unlock bonuses for performing certain objectives in your play style. Like to run and gun? It'll reward you by giving you bonuses for that. Like to play stealth? Same deal. The great thing is when you die, you don't lose what you did previously. Example : Get an extra knife in your sheath by performing 25 stealth knife kills. Now if you killed 5 guys in that run and died, it doesn't reset on you.

    Graphics: Graphics are good. I'm not a huge graphics guy, so I don't really have much to add to it. No screen tearing, no slow down, every thing visually is good.

    Story: This is where the game shines. The story is almost something out of a Tarantino movie. It has an outrageous plot, but it's taken seriously. You care about every character (there's even a scene early on where you can make a pivotal choice with your crew that changes the way the entire game plays out) and the love story between you and the female lead is something mature and not silly. I mean, it's an alternative time line where the Nazi's rule the world in the 60's using technology such as mechs, lazers, flying fortresses, etc. But surprisingly enough it still manages to be completely serious and compelling. There's a train scene that has as much tension to it as the opening "The Jews are like the rat" scene from Inglorious Basterds.

    I recommend picking this up. I almost feel spoiled now for the rest of the year because I know I won't be getting something of this quality for awhile. You WILL NOT regret it.

    1 Originality Factor: Machine games has done a great job keeping it old school just like the old Wolfenstein we all know & love whilst also adding in some new age style to it as well with a new perks system this game really feels like a old school shooter from the 90's.

    2 Game Play & Mechanics: There are two different ways to play this game through most of it. You can run & gun all day

    2 Game Play & Mechanics: There are two different ways to play this game through most of it. You can run & gun all day long make lots of noise with HUGE! guns & let mayhem & carnage reign supreme or you can take the semi new addition stealth sneak up behind the enemy kill the commander before he has time to call in Reinforcements The stealth element is surprisingly well done and the kills are extremely satisfying. (Much better then metro last lights stealth elements) The game allows you to chose which play style you like. Mechanics wise there are perks that can be unlocked to provide bonuses, such as faster reloads and greater magazine capacity etc. The perks can be useful but aren't really needed in this game.

    3 Artificial Intelligence: The AI is no dummy in this game a single gun shot or the wrong step or noise can set off a alarm screwing your entire stealthy tatics not to mention if they hear a dog attack they know you're there & if you're playing run & gun you'll find yourself restarting a little more then anticipated because they will actually go looking for you if they know you're there once a alarm has been tripped they are on alert. It's not the best AI I've ever seen but machine games did a very good job at making the game difficult but enjoyable.

    4 In Game Options: The in game visual options are sadly a tad bit lacking with only a few options these would be Graphics Quality, VT Cache Size, VT Compress, MAX PPF, Shadow Resolution, Deapth Of Field which can't be turned entirely off, Screen Spaced Reflection, Additional Quality Settings & Haze Flare & A FOV slider, Very simple but they get the job done. You can't bind 1 key to lean left or right which is sad but you do get a toggle lean which allows you to look up & over down & about or left & right it takes some getting used tro but it's not actually that bad. The rest is very simple key bindings resolution & sadly no audio controls except for master volume it would have been nice to be able to force the game to run in surrounf instead of what windows runs default but hey again it gets the job done & it's nothing that really effects game play.

    5 Stealth: Now for some this is a touchy subject many people have said "It looks like metro last lights stealth" well yes & no its no splinter cell or thief game, But you can't just kill somebody right in front of another AI enemy whilst their back is turned because if the two enemies are cloes together or within their peripheral vision they will notice it so stealth is a bit touchy in this game but it does a great job with it. It's actually pretty hard to do stealth on uber mode & it does a much better job then metro last lights stealth elements.

    6 Weapons: Everything from Unreal Tournament's flak cannon to underslung rockets on your assault rifles this games gun play is beyond satisfying dual wielding Unreal Tournament's flak cannons? HELL YES!!!! the guns are loud, proud & HUGE! just like you would expect in a 1990's shooter. Weapon upgrades can be found throughout the game's levels & each one of them offering something fun.

    7 The World & It's Story: Visually this game surprised me the graphics of the world are compelling & lots of atmosphere especially the moon level visually again the textures are very good I don't think I have seen a single texture over used all be it not the best graphics but definitely better then a lot of games these days. Trapped in a vegetative state for 14 years, Wolfenstein hero B.J. Blazkowicz awakens to a 1960 dominated by Nazis and a life no-longer solely defined by the killing of them. A alternate history reality where nazis won world war 2. The story is very compelling & it gets you hooked in imediately especially if you're a scifi nut and/or history nut I don't want to ruin much but the ending is sad.

    8 The Characters & BJ's Relationshhips With Them: I can't help but feel drawn into the world of wolfenstein the new order because of the way the characters react to you & what's going on around them there is just a lot of emotion between you & all the others lots of sadness lots of love lots of hatred & anger. New characters introduced just in time to die tragically, old war buddies now confined to wheelchairs, a ragtag band of misfits overcoming adversity and making a stand. You get to see a side of BJ as well filled with remorse over an early-game choice. During slower moments to his innermost thoughts reflections on childhood traumas and dreams for the future. & if you sit & listen in stealth mode for a bit the nazis will have convos about real world issues they actually have a personality. I can't help but feel drawn into the world of wolfenstein the new order. My rating 10 out of 10 keyboards.

    A really great game. So much fun. Never felt bored playing it. The game play is fun, has really good combat, variety of weapons from knives to dual wielding. You can choose to be stealthy, throw knives in the Nazi's backs or go in guns blazing. You can play in a variety of ways. Story is good and so are the characters. I like the alternate reality.
    I did not have any bugs or game crashes.

    The New Order is both a continuation and a reboot of the Wolfenstein series (the 9th, believe it or not). It is set in an alternate reality where Nazi forces have turned the tide in World War II under the technologically advanced war machine commanded by General Wilhelm Strasse aka Deathshead.

    It is a solid and surprisingly well-written shooter that achieves far more than you might expect from a game about mindless violence. The New Order's intense combat, superb graphics and believable characters have given the Wolfenstein series a breath of fresh air, while maintaining the nostalgia we have come to expect from the earlier games.

    I'll start by saying YOU MUST HAVE A VERY GOOD VIDEO CARD TO PLAY THIS. The game has very few video options. Lowest resolution is 720p, you can't turn off shadows, you can't turn off lighting effects. I'm playing it with a Radeon R9 290, and it looks fantastic. The CPU requirements are a lot lower. A 6 year old i7 920 can run the game without a problem.

    As for the gameplay, it's a good game. It's a lot like Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It can be difficult, but it's not impossible. Dying a lot adds to the game because it means you can't blindly run through it. I like the way the game handles NPCs. The guys that fight alongside you are invincible, so you don't worry about them running off and dying and you getting blamed for it. They're also useless, so you can't camp and wait for them to kill everything. Enemies completely ignore your buddies, so you can't use them as decoys. I like the game's perk system. It's based on doing things rather than getting free **** just because you're a unique snowflake.

    If you liked RTCW, you will like this game.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a beautiful Action game where you play Captain Blazkovicz, amid WWII. The plot, however, is a game of "what if" and, in this case, what if the Nazis rule the word?

You have to find a resistance, save some important pieces and kill tons of nazis in order to defeat the "New Order".

    The gameplay is really good for a shooter: you can select among about seven types of guns, grenades, turrets, cut through fences, run, jump, strafe and slide. The battles are extremely fluid (the movements of the characters looks really real), but the AI is "medium-dumb" (they have some intelligence in covering, but you can easily kill lots of sequential enemies just because they keep coming). Something really bad is the stealth: if you don't literally run towards a guy, nobody see you. The game is extremely linear, and the difficulty is medium to easy.

    The graphics are amazing (see Anya's eyes), though they are some renderization delay due to the way they did the game. The art is awesome, the places are extremely well represented, what makes the ambiance really well done. The soundtrack is present more at the end of the game, where it takes a more sad aspect, giving more veracity to the ambiance.

    The history line is interesting following this "what if nazis won" background, with really good characters (really charming, with amazing dubbing, and really characteristics, since the awesome BJ Blazkovicz till the amazingly bad ass Dr Totenkopf).

    Therefore Wolfenstein, the New Order is an amazing Action FPS, with a dropping tears plot, amazing ambiance due to the graphics and concept art, really good fights and also some extras (like golden objects, letters and other information about this parallel word where the nazis won). However, the bad stealth system (forgivable, if you think that blazkovicz is practically a Rambo) and the linearity of the game makes it not PERFECT, but that's it. The rest is amazing: 9/10

    Wolfenstein the New Order is a smartly designed first person shooter that places its emphasis on its single player campaign. There is no multiplayer and I don't think the game needs it.

There is no multiplayer and I don't think the game needs it. The inclusion of multiplayer may have diluted the single player experience which would have been a shame. Its rare to get a game that focuses purely on delivering a solid campaign. Even the venerable COD series has long featured a single player next to its multiplayer. I don't play COD much these days but I always leaned towards the campaign more than the multiplayer.

    Wolfenstein presents an alternate take on history. You play as Capt. Blaskowitz as you shoot your way through all manner of Nazi's. These can range from armored dogs, to mechanized ones known as panzerhunds. You also have giant hulking nazi mechs with advanced weaponry like lasers. The ways of dispatching these enemies are as varied as the enemies themselves. You will pick up weapons ranging from knives, assault rifles, shotguns, grenades, and yes a lazer cutter.

    Beyond the varied weapons and enemies the game also does a good job of varying your gameplay. One moment you may be gunning down a room of nazi's while dual wielding assault rifles (yes you can do that), the next you may be sneaking about and trying to knife the enemy commanders. The game features open level designs in that you can approach a given situation in a number of ways. As you take out enemies you will unlock perks which further increase your effectiveness. Stealth kill enough enemies and you gain access to throwing knives for instance.

    The story is engaging and as you progress you will come to love your comrades in arms who support you in your mission. The game features a variety of options from graphics to keybindings, etc. It also has plenty of collectibles to be found as well. There are a number of different difficulty options as well. I have been playing on "I am Death Incarnate." It isn't all that hard though the difficulty does seem to spike as you get into the later chapters.

    Wolfenstein the New Order is a fantastic shooter and well worth picking up. I purchased it during a steam sale for $10.

The campaign and story feel complete without feeling shoehorned in. The main characters are all interesting and you get pulled into their journey as much as you do the gameplay itself. BJ Blaskowitz feels like an interesting protagonist and isn't some empty self insert with no voice.

    Combat itself is fun while nothing revolutionary. While I understand for narrative reasons you lose your weapons after each mission I kind of end up really enjoying one and being dissapointed not to see it again and finding a different version of it all the time. The game gives you the ability to dual wield also, but for someone that prefers precision and focus when it's offered and preferred as a method of approach, I dont see as much purpose behind crazy run and gun, and this is coming from someone who LOVED the new DOOM. I feel this is a much slower shooter in that regard (which is fine) but I'd prefer more weapon options than the ability to dual wield.

    The game also lets you use stealth, and it usually works well in your favor, but the stealth system itself is very shallow and while it serves the narrative and feels fine in the game, it could have used much more work to make it feel more challenging and more dynamic. If I'm able to use stealth, let me use it more to solve the games problems and give me more abilities while doing it.

    One thing I loved about Wolfenstein was it's occult side of the story and the nazis pursuit of power through it. This time they go some more grim and scary technology, so that aspect is missed, but it's not truly a major detractor.

    With a satisfying story and gameplay, Wolfenstein is a worthy purchase. Ideally i'd give it a 7.5, but because I appreciate the older style of FPS, Im gonna go with an 8 over a 7.

    The license plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror
    If anything I could say that this cab was rare
    But I thought, "Nah, forget it."

    - the effort put into making this alternate reality credible with many reference to pop culture (music, movies) and events
    - the carefully weaved story writing and level design, with many twists and turns, change of scenery, in pacing, and in time.
    - the fact that BJ Blazkowicz is no more a cartoon figure but a deeper character
    - a modern shooter gameplay, that allows you to either sneak or blast your way in
    - a progression system based on challenges that kinda rewards your play styles like Skyrim does

    There are still some aspects that weren't that much satisfying, like the on-screen wheel to select weapons (I've seen myself dying too many times while trying to land on the weapon I wanted...) and the boss fights are not really the highest points of the whole experience.

    Anyhow, a very good game!

The weapon wheel is straight-forward and clear. Menus are perfect and easy to navigate through. Sound is awesome. FX, foley and music are terrific and the voice-over work is excellent.

    The game is brutal, unforgiving and exciting. It's a great story with lots of depth that works perfectly with the gameplay. Controls are effective and responsive. Key mapping is completely accessible. The game features a bunch of hidden goodies and a wonderful arsenal of single and dual-wield weaponry.

    The flaws I found are insignificant compared to the amazing bullet-hell fun that the game is. I'd say it is a tad easy even at Uber difficulty but not throughout the whole game. Some areas are ridiculously hard.

    It's an amazing game. Nazi killin' never looked and felt so good!

    + Level design is superb with lots of diversity (even underwater, outer space). I didn't expect that moon level... fantastic.
    + Enemy AI is smart, shoots from cover, can be flanked, reacts realistically when the player is sneaking.
    + In many situations you have the option to sneak and kill silently use knives/throwing knives or suppressed handguns and avoid having to deal with large groups of enemies.
    + Firing your guns feels and sounds good.
    + Choosing the right weapon for certain enemies becomes essential in mid and end-game.
    + The game is quite challenging at the two highest difficulty settings.

This is a first person shooter that simply doesn't give a **** about appealing to a certain demographic, it's just a very well made game. It plays well, tells a story well, has a great soundtrack to back it up, and addicting fast paced gunplay that feels great with weapons that have plenty of punch and sound effects that bust out of my headphones just as hard I bust a nut over how great this game is.

    So nazi's took over the world after winning World War 2, and you wake up from a coma in a dystopian nazi ruled world and have to find the resistance to battle the nazi scum. Now, this game doesn't give a **** about hurting your feefees or pushing an agenda, because there are swaztikas everywhere in this **** almost to the point where it feels like they're openly flaunting Nazi Germany's flag in the face of all those crybaby SJW whiners like "look at this does this make you mad? you hairy little **** **** off we're trying to make a game here" anyway it isn't the BEST story ever but it certain is effective at giving the player a reason to keep playing and something to fight for

    The gameplay: where do I begin? It's very reminiscient of shooters from the days of old where you find powerups and the levels are designed in a way to be very mazelike yet still retain a very industrialized, urban look. The guns all have their own strengths and weaknesses but they all get used at some point. There are also some stealth elements but it doesn't feel forced at all. you can always go in guns blazing if you want to, or stealth kill some guys before you get discovered.

    The Nazis look great, very cool looking armor and designs. the game also plays on a fear of nazis too by making scary scenes involving them and they come across as genuinely intimidating at times. Neo nazis with robotic suits and weapons sounds very scary indeed

    the soundtrack is incredible. it uses a lot of industrial machine sounds for it and it's generally a very memorable experience overall. sometimes I want to listen to the music outside of the game its that good

    it's not perfect though (no game is) but what could have been better is there are some sudden difficulty spikes out of nowhere and the enemies are almost too accurate when you round corners instead of leaning out from behind them. I dont want to have to lean out of corners to shoot all the time, but if you just walk around the corner like its doom or something then you get pegged way too quickly.

    also the ending is kinda ****e but you know there's another wolfenstein coming out so it's not that bad. for some reason video games tend to have the absolute bat****tiest worst endings ever, nasty habit that is.

    Other than that, its an excellent game with top quality visuals, music, gameplay, and story that all put together makes for an awesome, nazi-blasting time. best shooter I've seen in years (apart from new doom)

A modern tactical shooter will ask of you to mow down countless enemy soldiers and then interact with a mcguffin at the end. Wolfenstein offers up multiple enemy types that need to be dealt with in more specific ways. What's more, it isn't afraid to slow down, offering interactive scripted scenes where you don't even have a weapon, as well as occasional environmental challenges.

    It also rewards exploration, rather than punishing it, like the shooters of years past. You can use what skills you've learned, such as the welding tool. to find items stashed behind fences or in metal crates.

    The weapons are all satisfying to use and the combat is intense and challenging, especially on higher difficulty settings.

    I absolutely recommend this to everyone who is sick to the back teeth of the plague of Call of Duty/Battlefield games. If not, maybe you should just try playing it as something that features this thing we had in the 90s called 'actual fun.'

    Graphics, music and level design are top notch.
    Graphics are surprisingly light on system resources even if they managed to get amazing visuals, to a point that it feels like the concept art itself, just better because you're "moving" inside it.
    The amazing background music of this game moves from industrial metal to German rock'n roll and I couldn't think of something better. Just one thing I didn't think was fitting was the ending/credit bgm, you'll decide yourselves when you get there.

    Now the actual gameplay. There are a lot of cutscenes, always pleasant, there are almost no QTE (thank god) and the game is fairly easy on normal difficulty to enjoy the plot. Actually, about that there is an issue, I think, the game is FAR too easy on start, it's like they're considering you never played a FPS before, but overall, you get to die like 15~30 times throughout the story on the first run and it's never frustrating.
    About replayability I'm not really sure, I guess you won't beat the game a second time on higher difficulty levels unless this is the only game you own, or at least you're not THAT encouraged to do so (there are a lot of achievements and secrets though).

    All in all I really enjoyed this game from start to finish and I can only recommend you to get it.
    Finally, to my linux fellas, even if the game is not for linux, it runs natively on OpenGL and outperforms many linux "ports" I own, not to mention that you get the exact same detail and performance levels you'd get on MS Windows.

    The game, via different timelines, gives you the option to play through twice. Although this is optional I would recommend doing the second play through. I had a lot of fun on my second play through by upping the difficulty and doing more exploring to find all the collectibles I missed on my 1st play through.

    Highly recommended.

    Note: If you are reading this review and have played Wolfenstein already and you are looking for a similar game with similar enjoyable FPS game play AND a good story AND likable characters I would recommend you try out Shadow Warrior (2013) - such an awesome game, easily one of my favorite FPS's to date.

    Wolfenstein the New Order is a 9 and a half hour long first person shooter set in an alternate reality where the Nazis won in world war 2
    Without spoiling the story, you play as us special forces operative captain blazkowicz, who’s been out of it for 14 years to learn its 1960 and the us lost
    And you set out to rescue your squad and of course take down some Nazis…
    The New Order is probably one of the most intriguing first person shooters I’ve played through…
    not only thanks to the story of living through alternate history.. But because of how your characters story is told, there’s revenge, love, everything… your journey feels personal instead of generic...
    You’re not some forgettable throwaway soldier like you get in most every other first person shooter campaign
    And because of this this campaign immerses you deep inside of its world…
    This isn’t your typical run and gun campaign..
    There’s tons of variety here, missions will have you scaling buildings for targets... going in with stealth, infiltration, and undercover missions…
    You never know what the game is going to throw at you keeping the campaign feeling fresh…
    There are a variety of weapons and enemies to deal with, and the game mixes things up with a laser gun you get to cut through chain and metal in the game, giving you alternate routes inside of rooms and again stopping this game from just feeling constantly run and gun… you’re not forced to shoot here most of the time, as you can just go in missions with stealth taking out everyone from behind…
    but if you do choose to shoot there are plenty of weapon choices and the ability to dual wield guns..
    Enemies drop plenty of ammo... but eventually your laser gun is upgraded and able to shoot with unlimited ammo, though it has to be recharged so you’re not waiting for it to recharge on its own at a painfully slow rate after every couple of shots…
    Combat can feel challenging if you’re not the stealthy type... especially thanks to the scouts that will call for back up if you don’t take them out before you start shooting...
    You do have health that will regenerate slightly... but there are health packs and armor around which seem in abundance at the beginning... but towards the end you’ll be begging for them...
    Mission structure all for the most part feels the same.. You’re given a map which rarely helps... I found myself just stumbling around the map until I found the item I was supposed to interact with...
    Not the greatest natural progression... but I only felt lost a few times throughout my journey to the end..
    I was having a lot of fun with this game thanks to its story and level design... however for me the 2nd half of this game really starts to feel a bit generic and I was ready for this game to be over hours before the final showdown…
    While I do feel the final stretch of the new order is a drag, load times are painfully slow, and the occasional lock picking in this game is the worst and most annoying lock picking in video game history
    The New Order offers a really unique experience worth picking up and seeing out through to its end

    Years later you wake up from your injuries to find that the Nazis have won the war and now rule the world. Its up to you to resume your assault on the Nazis with the help of other resistance fighters to take back what the Nazis have taken from everyone.

    The setup for the story is great, and for the most part the character you play (William J. Blazkowicz) is fun, though he can feel a bit flat sometimes. I played through the game twice, and the ability of making decisions within the game that will impact the characters and story is a great addition and replay value.

    As far as gameplay goes, I played on PC with both controller via steam big picture and mouse and keyboard, and some of the button mapping on the controller are a bit odd. The grenade button is also switch weapon. If you play on PC I would recommend using mouse and keyboard.

    Playing though the game on the Uber setting can be somewhat frustrating/challenging as well. For the most part the game gives you a good challenge for this setting but some sections felt cheap as you can go from full armor and health to dead in a matter of seconds. You might move slowly down the hallways with little to no cover and suddenly 3 soldiers run out and kill you and you have to start 15 minutes back, or have to pick up all the loot you just had spent 5 minutes running around the room picking up. This to me felt not so much as a challenge, but cheap if you were not expecting it to happen. There are some moments where you will be moved from one location to another via cut scene and be thrown into an area with no cover. Shotguners will slowly approach you with a lot of armor and will instantly kill you if they get too close. Overall the game is fun, but can seem a bit cheap sometimes when the checkpoints are before you spent all that time picking up that armor and ammo.

    The only real negative i had about this game was the final boss. I will not spoil anything here but on higher difficulties its more of a frustration with high density of smoke and particle effects filling the room making it even hard to see enemies.

    Last issue I had with the game is as far as the gun pallet went, it was very boring. Shotguns, pistols, assault rifles. There was no tesla guns or any wacky guns i was hoping for. They seemed to go with a lot more grounded game including guns, characters and story, and i really liked the direction they went, i just wish there was a bit more diversity in the guns.

    Overall good story and great gunplay. This game for me falls into the same category as Shadow Warrior where it had only a single player experience. I feel if this game came out as a 40 dollar game it would of been fantastic. But now as the cost has come down I would say this is a must own for any FPS or Wolfenstein fan.

Amazing design and universe will keep you exploring, staring at devices, vehicles, posters and reading newspapers and after all, believe in the world beyond the corridors of the levels.And that is a rare and extremely important achievement. I have not had such an experience for years, and for that I am thankful to Machinegames. Quite a touching, long and insignificantly, but branching story will only fasten the impression. Voice acting deserves additional praise. Germans speak good and correct German, Poles speak Polish, and when both try to speak English, we hear correct and realistic accent. British speak British English, Americans - the American way. May be not really much of an achievement nowadays, but I literally experienced a linguistic orgasm. Flavour all that with awesome soundtrack and you'll get one of the most influential shooters of the last years. Only graphics might spoil this game for you: idTech 5 simply made me hate it with its dynamic resolution textures and shadowmaps and consider it to be one of the worst modern game engines. Looks like nothing is to be done: the industry is far not the same, Carmack is not the same, and now he isn't even at id Software, so I've little hope at idTech 6. Still, I just can't say that Wolf TNO is not a beautiful game. Expand

    The game feels so smooth and streamlined to play, and the 60fps feels good. Intriguing story, characters you care about, and good ol' fashioned Nazi killing are what make this game great. My only complaint is that I wish it could've been a bit longer

    Wolfenstein: The New Order represents a triumph in single-player FPSs, and has all the necessary elements I desire in a videogame: intense combat, large, loud and powerful weapons, excellent characters, engaging plot and above all, a sense of being the one unforseen variable in the bad guy's plan, however powerful, however intelligent.

This incarnation sees you as that monkey wrench in the strict order of the most terrifying government imaginable: a world where the Nazis won World War 2, leaving them free to impose their irredeemably twisted ideology on everybody. But they and their sinster General "Deathshead" made the most fatal error of all: Believing one B.J. Blaskowicz down and out. As the genre's original badass, you will wreak holy havoc with an arsenal of dual-wieldable weaponry, with the strength of numerical health and armor pickups at your side. The way you fight will earn you perks from Stealth, Tactical, Assault and Demolitions trees, and all throughout the levels are collectables, some for collecting's sake, and others that upgrade your maximum health or armor or give insights into the world and its characters. Any level can be replayed to scrounge for items you may have missed, and any unlocked upgrades are retained unless you start a fresh playthrough. The game's setpieces and musical accompaniment are also excellent, and the implemenation of modern shooter features is very subdued: You can use ironsights, use cover and lean around corners if you want, but it is completely optional, as is attempting to sneak through levels and use throwing knives and backstabs. Several of the weapons have useful alternate fire modes and one weapon in particular, the Laserkraftwerk, recieves several upgrades over the course of the game and goes from a novelty to a powerful heavy weapon. You also regenerate only a trace amount of health, forcing you to conserve it and search out healthpacks as you would in the typical 90s FPS. The explosive action is accompanied by a suprisingly lucid inner monologue from our hero, coupled with brief but powerful moments of quiet interaction with his friends, raising this Wolfenstein from a simple fragfest into a category occupied more often by films then games. The campaign is riddled from beginning to end with surprising twists and a number of moments that made me smile, tear up or throw my arm in front of my face in disgust. The New Order is a true cinematic experience and embodies what I love best in the genre. I intend to revisit at a later date. Expand

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a great shooter. And makes it is not innovative technology, smart AI, and the basic story coupled with great shuternoy mechanics.

    Wolfenstein has been reborn. The reincarnation took Studio MachineGames, which is made up of people from Starbreeze studios, who did a great action scene in which a character has always been disclosed, the player could feel him, and always had a good story. Wolfenstein: The New Order, they have not changed yourself! They made an idol William Blaskowitz character! And it's not just the character, and personality, which even empathize. He as well voiced; the actor dubbing almost always speaks in a whisper, what makes the character closer to the player. Besides the main character we'll be a resistance headquarters, which is filled with characters. At first they seem to be just furniture to fill the space, but eventually all the characters will be revealed and you to bind him. The headquarters of the resistance will be your home to which you'll return after the task. You'll chat with your companions, it is better to know and get around the headquarters, which from time to time will change. If you sleep on the bed, even you can play a level from the original Wolfenstein is a great game (which in the game is not enough). Also I can not mention great music! The music in the game is simply gorgeous and gives the picture and gameplay richness.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is not a game in the open world, but the developers create the feeling that you are not just at the locations of the next mission, and at a certain part of the world. World, which was seized by the Nazis. Writers have written an alternative history and was even recorded alternate covers of famous bands! Notes interesting to read, and don't pass it by! They are immersed in the alternate world, and you realize that this is a deep game, it's a real thought out story with his world.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a shooter. Without a great shuternoy mechanics to play wouldn't be interesting even with a good plot. Developers here do not disappoint! Shoot fun! Run around and shoot Nazis with two hands! Buzz! Health itself is not restored, so you have to look for kits (you can even gain health above 100%, but it will very quickly drop to 100). Besides health, we also do replenish armor - just like in the good old days. The game also has stealth and a high level of complexity will have to resort to it often. But in this game it's best to set a medium level of complexity and fun to shoot Nazis.

    I strongly recommend Wolfenstein: The New Order! Few people makes the shooter a real adventure with a memorable story and characters.

    The overall setting has an incredible appeal. Set in post WWII in a world where the Nazi's win, it's an incredible basis for the story to run off of.

    Simply put, it's a run and gun kinda of game for me that's got me yelling '***k you' every time i blow an NPC to shreds. A definite must if you're looking to enjoy a quick 10-15 hour FPS game (10-15 hours on max difficulty, while looking for collectibles) at no more than $20.

Czy wystarczy to jednak, by tytuł ten został zapamiętany na dłużej? Czas pokaże… na plus zasługuje również czas poświęcony na jego ukończenie - mi zajęło to 9 i pół godziny. Ponadto podczas gry możemy poczytać znajdujące się tu i ówdzie zapiski i skrawki gazet, które urozmaicają nieco fabułę. Mamy również możliwość odsłuchania czytanych przez Anię listów, rzekomo napisanych przez jej ciotkę Ramonę - a w rzeczywistości będących spowiedzią Ani ze strasznych czynów, których dopuściła się podczas wojny i okupacji. Prawie zapomniałbym jeszcze wspomnieć o bardzo trudnym wyborze moralnym, który przyjdzie nam podjąć na samym początku zabawy - a który nieznacznie wpłynie na resztę naszej rozgrywki. Jak zatem zdążyliście zauważyć - nowy Wolfenstein nie jest niestety tytułem idealnym, zapewnił mi jednak całkiem sporo wrażeń, emocji i dobrej zabawy - co samo w sobie zasługuje na duży plus.

    Plusy:
    + przyjemność płynąca z rozgrywki
    + projekt niektórych etapów
    + postacie i dialogi
    + dwie bronie na raz = rozpierducha
    + Ania Oliwa i inne polskie nawiązania
    + prawie 10 godzin kampanii do przejścia

    Minusy:
    – słaba optymalizacja i średnia grafika
    – spłycenie niektórych elementów fabuły
    – mocno ograniczone pole działania i etapy…
    – na które da się jednak przymknąć oko ;)

    The only thing in the new Wolfenstein that turned out really well is music. Shooting is decent and some weapons give proper sense of power, but developers failed to build an interesting game on these foundations. It has some good moments but none of them lasts long enough to be satisfying. Plus the writing is terrible and the way the game constantly forces all that ‘war is evil!’ preaching and Blazkowicz’s moral dilemmas down your throat is ridiculous. I actually couldn’t decide whether the game is being serious or not. [07/2014, p.56]
