    Wolfenstein 3D changed how we looked at first person games in 1992 and The New Order, while not as big of a step, may be just as important of one for the future of the genre.

    To put it briefly: The New Order deserves a sequel. And to make sure this dream comes true, I can do only one thing: convince you to buy the new Wolfensten game. Perhaps great trailers boosted expectations too high, perhaps fanatical Return to Castle Wolfenstein players won't be as amazed, as I am, but I'm sure of this: all FPS fans will have a great time and after finishing the game they'll want more.

    While the story never reaches the level of Bioshock or Portal 2, Wolfenstein: The New Order is a great experience both narratively and gameplay-wise, and has way more heart than it has any right to.

    Who was expecting such a big Wolfenstein return four years after the previous title? Not many, but MachineGames has developed a very good shooter with mixed gameplay (shoot&stealth), an interesting plot and great characters.

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

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is an electric veg-o-matic of FPS gaming bits and pieces set thrown into the hopper and set for puree. It lacks some stuff that we’re sort of gotten used to seeing in our FPS games these days and adds, a thousand collectable widgets aside, not much that we haven’t seen elsewhere before.

    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]

I had played the original Wolfenstein back when it came in CD form! It took me a while to give in and try this new release. Wow, I'm SO glad I did. This New Order has a story and a plot, and it's not just a shoot'em up like the original. Excellent graphics and "playability" for sure. You actually relate to the main character. My only complaint...TOO SHORT! I played it in only 12 hours and I wanted MORE! I hope Bethesda releases some DLC's that continue the saga. It would be great!… Expand

The alternative story of the trifting Nazis is immediately associated with Dick's books. Let's add an alternative '60s soundtrack and the possibility of sneaking around opponents! Even if someone does not like shoters but likes games like Dishonored - I think he will find himself here too! I will definitely use the option of passing the game in the second variant.… Expand

It is really amazing the creators of Wolfenstein can come with this and make alternative history. The single player campaign is awesome and a good story. The only problem I have with the game is that it looks like Activision made it and It looks too much CoD style. Beteshda did a good job on making a new unique Wolfenstein game.… Expand

    Хорошая игра. Ничего кардинально нового в свой жанр не привносит, но помесить нацистов, как в старые добрые, было очень недурно.Хорошая игра. Ничего кардинально нового в свой жанр не привносит, но помесить нацистов, как в старые добрые, было очень недурно.
