I was surpised to find that there is a FOV slider, which I had honestly not expected in such a terrible game.

    The mouse sensitivity slider barely affects the actual sensitivity; I had to lower my DPI from 800 to 200 to achieve anything even close to what I usually play.

    To the gameplay: The movement is good. It's not DOOM but its fun. On the other hand, the gunplay feels very unsatisfying. There is zero feedback on whether I've actually hit an enemy or not and the terrible "recoil" thats literally the gun just jumping around obstructing my vision doesn't help with seeing what I'm aiming at.

    The NPC spawns are horrible. I kept dying to random NPCs spawning 2m behind me after I had already cleared an area so there was no way of properly finding cover I one is to rush straight into the action instead of having to deal with the garbage feeling of a long range gunfight in this game.

    There's a lot more that annoyed me about Wolfenstein: Youngblood, for example the fact that the menus are the most counter-intuitive I've used in ages but I think you get the point.

    This "game" is nothing but a waste of storage and I highly discourage anyone from buying it.    … Expand

    And I have to say....I`m not sure were all the negative reviews are coming from.
    Maybe I missed something? Did It get review bombed on release?

    I am having an absolute blast. It`s great fun to mow through the nazi`s with my dual machinepistole.
    The enemie variety keeps in interessting. It feels balanced eneough were it is not easy..but I still get a nice sense of being overpowered (As I should with a game like this)

    I have encoutered no bugs. My only complaint would be that the A.I. is a bit simple and my A.I.-Sister (I play offline) Is not very dependable.

    But that said.....I`m having fun. And I like the game. Sorry for the haters out there ;-)
    I can recommend.
    EDIT: The combat is just very...very satisfying. 4 hours in and I just don`t get tired of it ;-) It`s fun.

    Also the graphics are A-MA-ZING! I have a new GPU with Ray-tracing and boy let me tell you...this game look absolutely gorgeous! Settings maxed out to "MEIM HEMEL!" or something. Hahah, I loved that.
    It goes from LOW - NORMAL - HIGH - ULTRA - MEIN HEMEL! in the graphics settings. Hahah.

    Cons:
    The story and characters aren't nearly as good
    The levels were not big enough for an open world game
    The lifting doors and elevator loading screens were a bit monotonous
    The NPC sis was a huge liability in the major boss fights

    Overall the game was very fun IMO though. I REALLY don't get the hate. If you look at the reviews, I think it was review bombed. That many zeroes? Come on, that is absurd.    … Expand

HOWEVER, weapon progression is terrible because you can begin to update it on level 25. I have 1/3 of the game behind me and I'm only on 20. Therefore I will be able to customize weapons just after I pass the first half of the game. Lame af. You cannot view awhole map, only a minimap is available. Executions should also have more animations because they get boring real fast. Youngblood is fun co-op experience but underdeveloped.… Expand

    First, gunplay is the best in the Wolfenstein series, no doubt. Never before I had so much fun just mindlessly shooting nazis.

Guns feel more powerful than ever, as long as you pair them with the correct enemy’s armor type. Ramming and hatchet throwing are really deadly this time around. You’ll use them a lot in combat. RPG elements are pretty fun, guns personalization is cool and the ability tree makes you feel more powerful with each new skill. Sound is top notch, guns sound great, and the synth wave songs that randomly play around the game world are excellent. About the game world, this time it has a semi open approach, and offers the possibility of a fair amount of exploration. Special mention to the artistic and level design of Neu Paris, most beautiful location in a Wolf game hands down, specially since graphics have been slightly but noticeably improved since new colossus.
    The story is pretty short and it’s mostly foreshadowing for the next game, an absolute step down from wolf 1 & 2 campaigns, and almost on par with the old blood. I’m not saying it’s bad, at all, just not what we might expect from a full price Wolfenstein release, but then again, this isn’t the case. It opens some interesting doors for the future of the series, it features a pretty nice plot twist and a cool but bland villain. About the twins, they are a neat addition to the series, they are pretty fun and cool, even though they still need a lot of character development in the next game. It’s true that sometimes they are cringy as **** but that makes them real, dancing and teasing each other like two dumb normal teens.
    About the micro transactions, they don’t affect gameplay in any way. During my play through, I barely had extra money for cosmetic things, since I found myself expending a lot of in game cash on weapon upgrades. If you want to get them nice skins, you’ll have to either sacrifice firepower, grind a lot, or expend some real money. If the developers continue to support the game with new content for free, I’m okay with the approach, if not, I think it’s a pretty ugly move from Bethesda.
    All in all I enjoyed a lot my time with the game, and I played it alone, if you coop, I’m told it’s even better.    … Expand

More often then not it's charging in 'Leeroy Jenkins' style! Now I don't want to play the game on line as it should be so not to be pressed to not read the notes or other content to keep up.
    I think the game might have chosen a bold new direction, but that is not what I expect from Wolfenstein! I'm just hoping when I go back and play it offline as I now intend to, I'll not choose the wrong experience...
    I'd love to give this 10/10 and have been counting down the days till release, but so far in the snippet I've played, I can see the co-op being rubbish unless with a friend preferably on LAN or voice comms. 6 seems fair.

    To me it's a fun game which is set in the Wolfenstein world - once you get used to some of the funky game dynamics. There are other games which have similar saving styles - but I think I've actually died 3 times since I've started playing and has never been a huge problem. Did anyone complain about GTA V with some very long missions with no checkpoints? I guess if you are dying that much, maybe use an easier setting? I think it's a nice dynamic the way you have 3 lives between you, but you can also recover one enough.

Сразу проникаешься к главным героям. Чувствуешь из развитие. Понимаешь их.

Будь у вас хоть плазмоган, но вы не собьете щит солдату-срочнику, призванному в армию Германии из деревни под Берлином. Сразу видна проработка мира, ведь технологии Германии в игре запредельны.

Ах да, код от этого сейфа будет лежать в другом конце города, так что развлечетесь и побегаете на славу! Такого разнообразия и проработки сайдквестов я не видел давно. Ведьмак и в подметки не годится! К тому же игра старательно окунает вас в эти шикарные задания. Ведь если вы пойдете по сюжету уровнем меньше, то вы ничего не сделаете своими пукалками срочникам в уберброне. Реализм!

I want to note that the developers under the Bethesda Game Studios producing The Elder Scrolls and Fallout properties need to look at what the other developer studios under the Bethesda brand umbrella are doing and producing and take cues and inspiration from them and possibly employ some of the tech they are using that is obviously in some ways better than what we have seen in Fallout or The Elder Scrolls thus far.

It is finally something different with the Wolfenstein franchise. A friend and I who play it together absolutely love the game. It has a story, if not a bit cliched (find missing daddy), has a lot of fun humor elements and is well voice acted. It isn't an on the rails shooter like previous Wolfenstein games but is instead a completely different animal. It has a sort-of open world element, RPG-like mechanics like Diablo in that you have 3 skill trees with skills that you can buy with skill points you get for completing missions and leveling up. Different skills cost a different # of skill points to get. With them you can increase your max health, max armor, heal/repair health & armor when getting your friend back to their feet again, get a cloaking ability and upgrades for it and melee skills like "crush" to name some. If you play it long enough you'll be able to eventually max-out your character with all of the skills/upgrades. There are stealth kills and different melee kill types you can do like forcing/twisting a gun back towards an enemy before it being triggered. It was surprising the first time I got into a melee struggle with an enemy with his weapon and was able to get them to shoot themselves in the face. It is a bit different for each weapon type an enemy may be wielding.

    Despite people calling it a looter-shooter like Borderlands, it is NOT. Once you get a weapon, it is yours forever (except temporary "big guns" you loot off big enemies or find in breakable crates) and it is just a basic weapon of that type that you upgrade with "silver coins" you find as loot. The weapons are not randomized enchanted/variable weapons like Diablo and Borderlands. The only thing looter in this is the silver coins for weapon upgrades and collectibles. Don't let the hate scare you away from this gem. Especially if you are looking for a fun game where you can kill nazis in a lot of different ways and has a story with humor to it. I rarely leave reviews for games here but after seeing all of the hate, I felt I needed to give a different point of view,

    I had to show the developers and other potential players that not everybody hates this game and is angry at the developers for daring to do something different with a franchise. Some of us absolutely love and have fun with it. It is a great game on its own and a shame that it is getting so much hate from Wolfenstein fanboys who wanted yet another clone of the previous games and seem to hate anything evolving and being different about the game play. Personally I get bored with straight up shooters where you follow a fixed/limited path killing streams of enemies along the way. I really like the additional engagement and goals I have in this style of a game. This was so engaging and fun for us that we spent over six hours straight playing it because we lost track of time while immersed in the game.

    P.S. As for the micro-transaction hate, it is COSMETICS ONLY and can all be purchased with in-game silver coins as well. I can earn enough coins for an armor or weapon skin in about an hour or two if I am not a lazy whiner who wants everything given to me without effort.    … Expand

    A fun new take on the franchise. I really enjoy the combat, the gameplay, the open world aspect and the graphics. I also really like how you get more and more abilities throughout the game. The only thing I didn't like as much was the lack of a real story. All in all it's a fun Looter Shooter spin off but if you expect a Wolfenstein 3 you wont be happy.

I still enjoyed my initial 4 hour session quite a bit, it was quite fun to stream although the night prior when I learned that the fast visceral combat of Wolfenstein was going the route of a bullet sponge-ish route with leveled AI opponents and progression for you and your buddy (or random/AI) you are playing with.

    With that said, on my rig the game is rather gorgeous at all ultra settings - the combat is indeed satisfying although the kill animations are FAR less brutal and seem to be hit or miss in regards to which weapon is being used and how the bodies react to being hit.
    Having only done 3 side quests I cannot judge the total package. While The previous Machine Game reboots into the Wolfenstein franchise have received 90/100 and then a 91/100 from me - currently after both Accelerated Evolution's reviewers Angles and I played together I am going to give this a 80/100 at this current time.

    I have never been a big fan of soaking bullets into enemies, The Division / Destiny etc. have never been my cup of tea. I was expecting this to be more like Shadow Warrior 2 with a more focused story-line and... without the amazing amount of weapons that game produced as unique weapons. That game is basically Diablo / Torchlight / Path of Exile in first person (think HellGate London except with that Doom/Quake/Wolfish / Serious Sam style combat of Shadow Warrior)

    With that in mind I will recommend this title due to the low price and 30-40 hours of content in a singular play-through with a friend; the replay value seems to be rather high if you end up playing with other friends and have a good time together. for 30 dollars base or the 40 dollar edition I purchased which has the buddy pass (which I still have not used; although it is appreciated). Machine Games and Arkane Studios indeed did do a rather great job here, although not quite what we assumed it would be from the E3 footage.
    upping to 9/10 on Metacritic to offset the negativity.    … Expand

    This is a great game,but with the wrong name maybe.The gunplay is awesome. level design is nice,it's a sort of open world with a lot of quest.The upgrade system of charahcter and weapons is good.Graphically impressive.Deserves a lot more!

    Excelente juego para matar a todos los nazis o los neonazis que Chillán porque no es dirigido a ellos,por tener protagonistas femeninas. Buenas mecánicas y una gran experiencia de gameplay.

    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.
