    Very good game, high production values, solid graphics (not optimized though), great audio and characters.
    Some areas really tough and unrealistic, but hey, it's a great game!

    This review has troubled me more than most as I’m still trying to decide exactly how I feel about WOLFENSTEIN: THE NEW ORDER. There’s much to like here. Visually, the game is impressive, the combat is fun and quite challenging on the higher difficulties, and the story, although a little cheesy, and not a match for such franchises as BioShock or Half-Life, is pretty good. And the voice acting is solid throughout. There are also some impressive cut-scenes and very enjoyable set-pieces. Despite all this, however, the overall lasting impression of the game is that it somehow falls a little flat. Perhaps it’s the fact that there are so many cutscenes where control is suddenly wrenched away from the player (I like a good cutscene as much as the next gamer and they are necessary to flesh-out a full story, but here there are so many of them it sometimes disturbs the rhythm of the game). Or maybe it’s the rail-like, linear nature of the game and the lack of variety in the environments. Or it might be the fact that, although the game tries to offer a mix of stealth and run-and-gun it really only gets the latter right. Or maybe it’s just me. It’s true to say the same can be said about many good games and it would be unfair to criticise WTNO too much for having these traits. But at the end of the day, although I enjoyed WTNO, and will stick with the franchise, I’m left with mixed feelings about the overall experience. Oh, and it’s yet another game with no quick save, which is annoying.    … Expand

    I'm an old fan of the Wolfenstein and I think this is one of the best chapter. Wolfenstein: The New Order is the "perfect FPS": have a great story, really cool characters, best weapons and a great gameplay. This is so funny and have a good difficulty.

    50Gb download for a game that doesn't look as good as Crysis 3 is a bit steep. The game itself is alright but some of the design decisions leave a bit to be desired.

    The open world and decision making feel pointless in this game and instead of a tightly scripted shooter like RTCW it is a bit more like the previous wolfenstien release.

I'm happy the developers decided to only focus on single player. You don't have to worry about some half ass multiplayer. Instead you get a strong single player that is definitely worth 2 playthroughs.

    now the stuff i didnt like so much. The characters were really typical and seemed to not have much character. Max hass and bombate are the biggest offenders. I dont understand how the games story was praised? yes the setting is great but the game had so many plot holes and stupid moments where, oh its hard to do this without spoilers but you know what im talking about if you've played it. Moments where your like "how did he not see that?!?" or "how the hell does that even work?" i guess im being to cynical and should just like the story and forget the plot holes and stupid choices the character makes. Okay i cant write this review without spoiling the game ill do another but just buy the game its worth it. i want to keep this review spoiler free, because spoiling something in a review doesnt make it much of a review for the propose its made: to get people interested or not interested    … Expand

    Another scripted linear slow console port covershooter. Ugh, as if there isn't enough of those already?

    This thing is as far from being wolfenstein as possible. If you want wolfenstein, play the known Return To Castle Wolfenstein instead. RTCW is now a bit older but it still holds up very nicely though and actually doesn't keep interrupting you every second like New Order does.

These developers together with Bethesda knows what they are doing.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order brings incredible gunplay, interesting story with some fantastic characters, along with optional stealth sections (you can actually blast through them). The graphics look nice, but aren't the best.

    Also, be aware that you need a really good machine to run it at stable 60 frames per seconds.

    PRESENTATION - 7
    Graphics are really good technically, although there's nothing here that justifies a 40 gig download. Seriously, what exactly is that hard drive space going towards, because it doesn't look any better than 8 gig games. Aesthetically, it looks okay, but nothing that impressed, and I got lost quite a bit because many rooms look alike. Enemies have ragdoll physics and gib and bleed, which is satisfying. A few interactive background objects react to gunfire here and there, but nothing on the order of Stranglehold or the Red Faction games. Sound is good. Menus are functional. The plot is...there...clearly alot of effort went into it, but it didn't grab me (Nazis were evil?! SHOCK!).

    CONTROLS - 6
    Standard FPS controls, although the movement feel isn't quite as good as Halo's. I like the fact that hard vs fast tap distinguishes between knife-melee and knife-throw. But you can only really carry 6 guns at a time (with dual-wielded versions of each) and you can't mix-and-match which gun you have in each hand the way you could in Halo 2. The guns are fine for machine guns, but there really aren't any unique weapons that impress (like almost anything from Painkiller or Bulletstorm). There's a new mechanic whereby some (i.e., very few) steel catwalk guards can be cut through with a laser and then fired through, but it's barely used, and even then it's a mechanic put to shame by, say, Battlefield: Bad Company 1 or 2 or any of the Red Faction games.

    DESIGN - 2
    As a child, I remember having 30 minutes between when I got home and I could play videoames and my father got home and I had to start doing homework. So my biggest pet peeve in a videogame was always anything that I felt wasted my time, like grinding for levels or not knowing where to go or dying and losing all my progress. Let me assure you, reader, that this pet peeve has not at all changed now that I am older and have even less time for videogames.
    In other, better games, waypoints (Call of Duty) or navigation arrows (Bioshock) have solved the problem of getting lost; regenerating health (Halo) solved the problem of having to waste time hunting for medkits; quicksaving/quickloading (Max Payne) solved the problem of losing progress on death. This game has none of those advances. Other than allowing you to carry more than 4 (or 2) guns at a time, W:TNB eschews every single advance FPS game design has made for the past three decades. You can criticize CoD games for being boring shooting galleries if you'd like, but Wolfenstein's distinction of adding in unnecessary design aggravations doesn't improve anything.
    There's also an upgrade system, which is almost always a bad idea in action games, but at least it's automatic so it stays in the background.
    But the absolute worst part are those fairly frequent sections of gameplay where the shooting just stops and you have to complete a key hunt in order to trigger the next scene, because some developer thought that would help "world-build" better than a cutscene. I don't play videogames to do busywork, I play to relax; I shouldn't have to "earn" the good parts of a game by playing through something that is manifestly un-fun to everyone. About half the 12-hour runtime (so I've read, I got bored and stopped halfway in) is spent NOT shooting people (either keyhunting in rooms without enemies or super-linear stealth gameplay). And it's not like that problem is solved in the multiplayer mode, because there isn't one. (No Co-op, either). There's little to recommend this game over those that let you just run-and-gun the entire length.    … Expand

    When Wolfenstein (2009) flopped, things looked grim for the oldest FPS franchise.

Make sure you have a powerful enough PC to run this game (you will still have pop-in, but it will be severely reduced). Okay so the TNO is set in the alternate reality where the Nazis won World War II. That is all you need to know because the story is just amazing and trust me, you will love it. The gameplay is described as "old-school" and it is, but at the same time, it is very refreshing compared the crap FPS that come out nowadays. Picking up health and armor (in my opinion) is better and more realistic than the covering behind something mechanic to get your health back. It just fits this game very well. You can also duel-wield weapons which is very fun. If you want a new, amazing FPS experience with a story up there with Half-Life and Bioshock, then get Wolfenstein: The New Order.… Expand

This game is far from good FPS in general and its even useless to compare it to RTCW. Many people hated Wolfenstein (2009), but I actually liked that one. Now you cant upgrade anything with big pile of gold anymore and open hub areas are gone.

    Story is bland and game has serious problem whether to be serious or not. Sometimes Blaskowicz speaks bravely about America but in next moment paintings drop from wall because he's screwing his girl so hard.

    Sidekicks are lame and feel forced. Black guy having rhythm in his veins and big physically strong but mentally disabled guy who like girl toys etc. Are this type of characters _the must_ thing in a Nazi shooter FPS? Where is the martial arts master Chinese ninja guy and others?

    Gameplay is somewhat good. Assault rifle actually feel like it has some pumping power. You can lean, lie down and slide on floor, but its pain in the ass to perform those key combos in tight battles. I didn't find much use for them.
    Reloading and switching between weapons takes ages and you die needlessly often due to that. Oh, You can reload faster when you unlock Perks, but only after you performed 10 backflips in a row while shooting ten dogs with one hand gun and finally landing on spagat. Perks are unlockable abilities. You unlock them by killing enemies in different ways. Often the way to unlock them is too hard, because invariably all fights are so chaotic that it's impossible to think of anything else than finding ammo, health packs and cover. I find myself eventually just ignoring those perks.
    Save/load feature is also gone. Checkpoint are mostly quite rare and you end up having same fights again, and they got just longer and longer as you go in game. What might dev's been thinking of when decided that...

    Levels are quite tube-like, but sometimes you get barely a slight breeze of open areas, just barely. There are secrets things hided in places, but I couldn't find many of them in first playthrough. Oh and I got new checkpoint and I'm unable to go back finding them. Should I restart level or just go on? I rather go on. This game does no make me feel to explore places to find collectible or even play it ever again. It feels so clunky in many way. Malfunctioned (buggy) robot stuck in place, ladder become usable after killing hordes of enemies etc stupid things and AI just plays stupid. And Blaskowicz is tied on chair and Nazi commander stabs him with knife; Blaskowicz's health goes visibly down to 0, but raises to 20 in a brief moment. Quite cool.

    Im trying to be tolerated, but it is really annoying when level are straightforward and there seems to be a lot o places where to go or hide, but you can't. I'm talking about bridge mission. It really did broke camel's back for me. "Stupid way to die" says he when I'm trying to jump on ledge where anyone else vg protagonist could jump in (in real life), but our William now just can't because of invisible mesh colliders. If you've played original Painkiller or Quake, you know what I mean by jumping all over places where's the skys only limit ((or water, heh).

    Conclusion: It's not worst FPS by any mean and is worth picking for like 5-10 euros, but there are so many annoying dev's decisions which I mentioned, that I'm wordless.    … Expand

    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.

    It's an corridor shooter,but added some open world elements.
    Story is pretty fair:Same,old B.J Blazkowicz,fighting for U.S.A,but trying to kill the main antagonist:Deadshed,their operation fails.B.J gets head injury,and leaves unconscious for 14 years.

    Good graphics, gameplay (even though it has what I see a high number of cutscenes) good sound effects, and excelent storyline, The only issues is the unbelievable size after install (50GB) that clogs up smaller HDs and the mentioned cutscene issue,

    A great reimagining of the series, delivering a fun experience to shooter fans, while bringing a good story and some solid mechanics that feel fresh but still know the roots of the franchise.

    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]

    If you've enjoyed shooters of old, you'll love how freshly packaged this one is.
