    What a great singleplayer action shooter. The atmosphere is crazy. Nice areas and weapons.
    What really grind my gears is the f* loading time when you die. It stuck like forever (in Epic Game Launcher).

    For an FPS the story has a lot of focus and a lot of cutscenes. The prologue is very good. The plot is very cool, and its development is really cool in some parts. The characters are one of the best I've seen in an FPS, but they are relatively weak compared to good RPGs (but being fair, an FPS doesn't have the same time to develop them).

    Level design is pretty good. The graphics are very good (for 2020) especially if we consider the time when the game was released (2014). The range of enemies is large enough. The game generates a lot of variety in each mission, nothing too absurd but different enough and good. Your arsenal constantly changes, diversifying your weapons or giving them improvements. And the nightmares are fun. The difficulty curve was well thought out. The only defect for me in gameplay is the way to change weapons, it's not very good (you have too many, so changing by numbers is bad and that roulette is very mediocre).    … Expand

    The game knows well what the audience wants and it delivers it to them with a plate full of brutality and action. Apart from the well known fun shooting against the modern Nazis you can follow an actual story with characters that are stereotypical and funny. It's quite bizarre and violent but that's what made this game memorable.

These are here at such a high level, I dare say that they are approaching the already mentioned legendary Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Weapons also crack, because now we have the opportunity to use exactly two at once. But what Return to Castle did was the atmosphere. Is he here too? Surprisingly yes. Yes, it is and is wonderful. So I praised the game a lot and maybe the only minus would be the graphics, which could have been a bit better for the year of release. Otherwise, a great game for me, which is a clear choice for Wolf fans, and overall I recommend it mainly to FPS players.… Expand

    Great story and great experience of playing. The game contains vibes from both Half-Life and other fps games. Sometimes playing this game feels like playing a combination of Half-Life 2 and Modern Warfare. More than that, the storyline is great. Thanks to the story writing, as long as you proceed, it becomes more than an fps game.

Oyunu döneminin silahlarını ve teknolojisini yansıtan bir oyun sanıyordum ta ki devasa robotları görene kadar. Deneyler yapılan insanlar, robot köpekler geleceği yansıtıyor gibi ama oyun dediğim gibi 1950'lerde geçiyor. Karakterimiz savaşta yaralanıyor ve 14 yıl boyunca bitkisel hayatta kalıyor. 14 sene sonra kendine geldiğinde Amerika'ya atom bombası atılmış ve savaş bitmiş naziler her yeri ele geçirmiş durumda. Nazilerin tuttuğu esirleri kurtarmak belkide tanıdığı birilerini bulmak için yola çıkan Blazkowicz yalnız değil. Bize 14 yıl boyunca bakan, bize banyo yaptıran, bizi keseleyen, bize yemek yediren kadın ile yakınlaşıyor ve onunla yollara düşüyoruz.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Game, but with some flaws.

    It may seem unlikely that I recommend Wolfenstein: The New Order, after what I am about to say about it, but in the end, it still is a fantastic game.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order plays in the semi-fantasy setting of the Nazis winning the war. The way the developers projected this in the game is actually pretty realistic. The technological advances, the way they may be treating the world from that point, the fanaticism it is all there.

    The story of Wolfenstein is extraordinarily strong. It really changed from a Nazi shooting gallery to a Nazi shooting gallery with interaction between characters, beautiful upgraded graphics and sounds, and a main character you actually give a sh!t about. The perks and collectibles throughout the game gives it something extra and the whole game is filled with hidden story from the past and present and letters from citizens and soldiers who all tell something about the changing of the world as we know it.

    But for me, there were a lot of moments that I could throw the game out of the window (if I still used discs) and many times when I repeated the question ”But how??”, throughout.

    The first issue is the frame rate. Although most of the time the game runs steady at 60 fps, it has a lot of drops on certain moments, I thought it was my hardware but other players with better machines experience it too. Some people cannot get above 30 fps without tweaking the whole game.

    The second issue with this game is the load times. Oh my god, they are the longest I have ever experienced, apart from Grand Theft Auto V (nothing beats that, nothing). I played the game on a SSD drive and still it took forever to load. When I died, I was eating my nails in frustration because of the loading.

    The last issue I found are the perks. They give you a nice bonus for completing them, but the problem is that the game is way too short to unlock them as you progress. This means playing chapters over and over again to gain them, sometimes because a certain level is the only way to get a specific perk. I needed to search for walkthroughs and exploits to gain the demolition perks, those were impossible without the proper trick. Because of this, it ruined some of the fun I had with this game.

    Another thing is that the AI is incredibly stupid. They are mindless walking guns who fire endlessly on sight. If you use stealth, you can kill the whole Third Reich all by yourself by just crouching to them in plain sight and stab a knife in their throats.

    But overall, despite the problems and mindless grinds, it is still a pretty good game in which the developers want to tell you a powerful story. You can see that they made a revolutionary change with this game compared to the other parts of the series and for the story alone, I enjoyed it.

    I would still recommend it.    … Expand

    New Wolfenstein games are a reboot done great (well, mainly), just like new DOOM. The new order changed the setting to a dieselpunk world, which looks amazing, for me its one of the better games from 2014, fun to shoot, story is done quite well and the music holy **** its so good, Gordon killed it, well, like always. I don't think that Machine Games could've done better for their debut.

    I just finished the Fergus path. Killing enemies is very satisfying, especially the executions. The graphics are very good. Music perfectly fits my mood during the game. Amazing story and characters. The levels aren't like in Wolfenstein 3D, they're much easier and you won't get lost. It's a great game and it's definitely worth buying it.

    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]
