The single-player game has been completely ruined.… Expand

    Bethesda are fully political now, they have jumped in head first, political view over good games, revenue be damned..
    Eventually this crazy sjw cancer that has penetrated, games ,movie. TV etc , will no longer be trendy, and Bethesda will be left standing with no respect, no dignity, no fans and no good franchises.. When you hate the main demographic that buy your product and you show them this hate so blatantly, they return the feeling in kind, and thats where Bethesda will be left..
    There is a game here, but its not good and its drenched in the social politics, nearly every gamer is sick and tired of hearing about,, And no!! these Gamers, arent racist or sexist or Bigots or Nazis,(Whatever other name these devs call normal people) they are just tired of these companies acting like they are, by sewing blatant messaging into their entertainment.    … Expand

    Good gunplay and action, everything you expect from a Wolfenstein game. However, the characters and dialogue are 10/10 on the cringe scale, it was tough to slog through, eventually I just turned the sound down during cut scenes.

    A IA do game é uma das piores que tive o desprazer de conhecer. Serio, nem jogos indie contam com uma IA dessas. O que compromete completamente o modo stealth.

Como não zerei o game, fica complicado falar sobre a historia, mas ao menos a principio, a caracterização das gemeas é de doer os olhos. Nada faz sentido, mesmo pra um universo como Wolfenstein.

    I love the fact that they went the same route as "A Way Out" and released it as half price game and with the option to invite a friend to play the full game, I believe this is a step into the right direction.

    That being said, this is about the only positive thing about the game. You remember how people said to fallout 76 "of course its fun in coop, everything is fun in coop" well apparently Bethesda decided to put that to the test and they successfully made a game that is, in fact, NOT fun in coop.

    The story is bland and straight up boring and minimalistic. The characters feel like somewhere between actual characters and fun characters like you are used to from games like Duke Nukem, but its not quite either end it winds up just beeing weird. You have absolutely no connection to the characters and quite frankly they just piss you off.

    They game mechanics are so amazingly annoying, you need to constantly scan every inch of your screen to see whether there are any of those damn coins to pick up which not only puts an insane amount of strain on your eyes, it makes it straight up annoying to play. The next thing is the enemies, they implemented an "enemy type" system, basically meaning you have either fleshy targets, or armored targets, and all weapons do either one damage, or the other. So your shotgun is effective against flesh, the assault rifle is good against armor. Problem is, JUST that effect.

    You deal practically no damage to the other type, meaning there is no dual wield rampaging with the shotguns like you had in previous wolfenstein games, instead you kill 2 people, suddenly an armored supersoldat stand in front of you and you suddenly deal 0 damage and need to swap weapons right in front of him, likely leaving you dead or close to it. This system is so unbelievably half-baked its hard to put into words.

    Whats worse is that you don't really have story missions, they are just like all the other side quests which you have to do since the "main" quests are actually locked behind a level requirement, whoever had that genious idea deserves a high five. To the face. With a chair.

    Why? Because the side missions are so amazingly boring that you really don't realize you are on a mission when you do it.

    All the side missions make another bad side of the game painfully obvious: The level design.
    all. maps. look. the. same.

    My coop buddy and I literally had a moment when we could not tell whether we were in that spot before or not because all levels look exactly alike. Actually we had plenty of those moments.

    Wolfenstein youngblood is a coop game that it not just NOT fun, its a coop game thats a chore to play through. That in and of itself is an achievement, but not one you want to get.

    All in all, I cannot recomment this game to anyone, coop junkies and FPS players alike, its just not even worth the half price even if its free for your buddy.

The game feels like more of a chore to play than anything because of the grinding required to upgrade your weapons and abilities. The levels are pretty uninspired and mostly feel the same.

    The game is designed for co-op, which I haven't played yet and might be why I think this game is so bad, but honestly it's so generic and uninspired that I doubt it'll make much of a difference other than getting rid of the monumentally stupid friendly AI, and even that depends on which friend I'm playing with.

    As an aside, I see a lot of people in here whining about communist propaganda, which knowing how common reactionary politics are in the community, means saying that Nazis are bad and having female protagonists (gasp!). You would have to be completely politically illiterate to have such a braindead take. If you're out of high school then you're probably mature enough to see how embarrassing those beliefs are and can ignore them. We all know gamer Americans are the most oppressed group.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played every Wolfenstein game since its inception from back in the day. Reading some of these "negative" reviews are kinda hilarious.. but I get it. First.. its not unplayable nor does it warrant a refund due to being so "bad".. is it the weakest in the series? Yes. The game has its issues. I absolutely loved Wolf 2 New colossus and its story and game play. Going from that to this.. was defiantly going to be a decline.. New col for me was a solid 10/10.

    I'm currently at Brother 3 in this game and have seen videos and spoilers of it online.. I will def finish this game, but it has a few things that I didn't like.. I'll name 4 as somebody whos played all these games. For me the negatives are the following:

    1. Leveling up and leveling up enemies.. - I didn't get it.. some of the basic enemies took so much rounds of ammo to drop them.. I can see maybe the super soldiers or mech robots ect being tougher as you get tougher.. but basic enemies shouldn't require 20 shot gun hits to drop. There was one point where I was using the zerstorerr weapon to clear out groups of enemies..

    2. The AI for me played ok. I only encountered 1 issue with it but was fine.. but I prefer to play my games solo and hated the co-op option and the AI computer that plays with you. Was a pain to go into battle only to stop go save your sister while getting gunned down only to have her save you from saving her.. really sucked.

    3. side missions were very redundant.. it got to a point where I would save up several side missions to just do them all when I was in the area.. There was one mission where they wanted me to find the secret brother 1 entrance through the sewers but I went the normal above ground path. But I had this stupid nagging unfinished notification that I didn't find the brother 1 secret entrance.. So even after I got to level 42 and beat brother 1 and 2.. I had to go back and hunt down the secret brother 1 entrance to get it off my list.. very dumb.

    4. The story. or there lack of.. Outside of the beginning and ending.. there was no mid story. Juju just gets on the radio and tells you some non sense. There was no cut scenes after brother 1 and 2 and im assuming 3 will result in the same. New colossus was heavy on story which I liked.. this game just rolled from one action to the next.. no story.. Abby just sat at her computer, barely looked up to say anything to you.. I just felt they could have built the story up a little bit more..

    Those were my complaints. Over all I liked the fast pace, It was still killing Nazis. I didn't care that it was teen girls. Who cares. They had to save BJ which was part of the story. I just hope when Wolf 3 comes out they go back to the new colossus blueprint. 4/10. Was def the weakest in the franchise..    … Expand

    I did not like this game. Play was not very interesting. But most of all I did not like the save system. You have been running for a very long time at a not very interesting level, but if you get tired and get out, then you will have to start all over again.

I quite liked The New Colossus as well, but not this one really. I'd start with the main character or rather the characters, because the game is mostly made for co-op and that's where the fault comes in. Wolfenstein was never meant to be co-op in my opinion, but whatever. Because as soon as you play with a friend and not alone, the serious, scary atmosphere full of Nazism goes by the wayside and the game turns into a fun game where you and your friend are crushing Nazis head on. However, since the game is co-op, it lacks one thing, and that's story. The story here is, excuse me, awful, or you know what? No excuses. It's terrible. Mostly the scenes where your protagonists perform various dance creations in the elevator are really cringe. At least from my point of view. The game's also quite repetitive because it's switched to an RPG system. Yes, it really is. Why the hell not? Why are they throwing RPG elements into the Wolfenstein series? Very poor decision on my part and some of the levels here are just a nuisance. Once you get past all the repetitiveness, past all the cringe scenes in the elevator and get to the very end, that for me is also pretty meh and overall didn't exactly impress me twice, even though it was probably the best part of the game. Oh, and one more thing. On top of all the crap they threw in here, they also threw in microtransactions. How could they have gone that far... I'm trying to find at least something good about this game, but it's pretty futile. I can only praise the graphics, which are not beautiful, but not bad. Some of the weapons weren't bad either. Unfortunately, that's about it. I can't recommend this game in any way, and if you're a fan of the series, I especially can't recommend it, because you'll be sick of what happened to the series for a long time after finishing it.… Expand

    I love FPS games, but I really hate the new brand of "open world" FPS games which have flooded the market following the massive success of Borderlands, a game which was so built around the formula that it nailed it, leasing to other developers to follow suit.

    I dislike these games so much because they feel so dead. Progress feels non existent. After clearing an area, you will go back through it to see it teeming with the very enemies you've gotten rid of. The levels and story are replaced with generic "quests" with very little payoff and it generally lacks the spectacle seen in more story based games. In this sea of boring open worlds came Wolfenstein: The New Order in 2014-- a game which wasn't afraid of using a linear level structure to set up spectacular set pieces, a harrowing, at times funny and interesting narrative and tight gameplay. This was followed up by the more B-movie style The Old Blood, and 2017's The New Colossus, which felt a bit flabbier, sacrificing the tightness of the gameplay for greater player diversity and a range of new scenarios, but it ultimately remained enjoyable in spite of a less engaging story. These games are great because you die relatively easy, but kill equally so, which means fighting off hordes of soldiers with dual wielded assault rifles feels tense but rewarding.

    And along comes Youngblood, a game which sacrifices basically everything that made Wolfenstein good to build a live service model.

    First off, the game is centered around Co operative play, something which I'm surprised about given the publisher Bethesda's infamous last attempt with Fallout 76. The co-op could have been fun-- it was in Return To Castle Wolfenstein-- but it is so poorly implemented that it feels like a waste of time whilst also being the core mechanic of the game.

    It baffles me that the best co-op model (a player dies and awaits the other player to leave combat to respawn) was perfected with Halo almost 20 years ago, but the god awful Revive Or Game Over system this game uses is still in place.

    The RPG mechanics have destroyed the enjoyment got from shooting. Enemies now have health bars and armour which must be chipped away at using different ammo types. They have levels which dictate whether you should be fighting them or whether they can one shot you, and they use up so much ammo that the game actively incentives not fighting in an FPS. Level gating is a serious problem to the game. Whereas previous Wolfenstein titles checked progression by how far through the game a player had gotten through the linear story and threw more complex challenges and diverse enemy types at the player based on an assumption of how good at the game they are, Youngblood has taken this linear model out and replaced it with random enemy levels.

    The story is far worse too. The main characters act like American fratboys, which is extremely jarring given that they are the product of a PTSD-harrowed war veteran and a Polish resistence fighter in a world occupied by a highly traditionalist ideological empire.

    The graphics are passable, and are about in line with New Colossus, but the game really doesn't nail the 80's look it tried to sell itself on.

    This is another miss for Bethesda. Avoid it.    … Expand

    Bethesda, too, stood in a pose to push through the mobile standards on the PC and the console market, we will not let the brothers buy the witcher and the cyberpunk,    Oh, let's make your Far Cry New Dawn, the players like it so much when their enemies have a lot of life strips to absorb 3 horns from the machine gun and then when they eat = wrap up micropayments with them that they drown.

    Слишком много недоработок, миссий слишком однообразный. Предыдущие персонажи серий Wolfenstein были более живыми и они заставляли тебя сопереживать , эти же схожи на пустышки

    This game is not good. Is very bad... just one big sh*t. If you can NOT buy, go back and play true Wolfenstein games.

    I have a feeling that they wanted to attract more people using Wolfenstein IP, but giving us not actually Wolfenstein. Absolutely everything in this game killing me as a fan!

    I am a big fan of the Wolfenstein series, but this - I don't know what this is. The new RPG mechanics are terribly implemented, the loot, the guns and the enemies are all the same. The humor is terrible and the plot is **** The whole game is a disaster. The AI is brain-dead, the sister companion is annoying and not helpful at all, the guns are the same from the previous game.

There is absolutely nothing to like, except the game runs really well on PC and it doesn't look half bad, but again - this is a carbon copy of the previous Wolfenstein.
    Do not buy this garbage! Bethesda will turn up the micro-transactions to 11 after the reviews, just watch. There are micro-transactions currently, but it will get much, much worse.

    I bought this game for $20 and I still feel like I paid too much! It is terrible. I never thought I would say that about a Wolfenstein game, but here it is...Bethesda did it again.    … Expand

    I have played all the recent incarnations of Wolfenstein including the New Order, the New Blood and the New Colossus. Those games rank from very good to excellent. Youngblood is terrible it should not even be considered part of the series. I will go over a few of the major problems.

    I played with the AI as my coop partner. The coop partner is as dumb as a bag of hammers.

Youngblood is terrible it should not even be considered part of the series. I will go over a few of the major problems.

    I played with the AI as my coop partner. The coop partner is as dumb as a bag of hammers. If you are fighting a boss it goes right up to it and just stands in there and shoots until you have to go rescue them. You can't finish bosses because the AI keeps losing lives for you.

    The worse thing if you lose a boss battle it sets you back to when you enter one of the Brothers (boss area). This makes you do over 15 to 25 minutes over again to get to the boss area. Bleep that.

    You constantly have to keep going over areas that you have been through to get to the next mission and fight in the exact same areas. If you clear an area and step out it for even a second and step back it is fully stocked once again, what a waste of time.

    The map is worthless and garbage.

    The main complaint that everyone finds is that the earlier Wolfensteins had a very good story. This one has a nonexistent storyline. It is boring and does not try to absorb your at all.

    Everyone knows it Bethesda so can you say micro transactions.

    The final straw for me was during one of the boss battles I was to pick up 2 computer keys after killing the bosses. I killed both bosses and got 1 key but where they said the other key was there was nothing. I tried for 15 minutes trying to get to the location of the key and could not pick it up where it should have been on the screen. That was it for me, I deleted the game.

    I compare this to the last AAA game I played Metro Exodus which I would give a 9 out of 10 and this one fails in every respect. Bethesda hopefully the new Doom game coming out will be a whole lot better. However Fallout 76 and this dumpster fire does not make me think it will be much better.    … Expand

    When Youngblood falls back to its linear roots, like in Bruder missions, it turns into a pretty good Wolfenstein game; but its open-world segments and RPG elements feel entirely out of place. [Issue#240, p.58]

    From a pure level design perspective, it’s a huge improvement over Wolfenstein 2. Unfortunately, it seems to have forgotten a lot of what made both New Order and The New Colossus such great games in the process.

    Detailed environments is the only thing that Youngblood inherited from its famous parents. The rest is just wild mess of ideas that the devs plucked from all their favorite first-person shooters.
