    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.
    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.

    Expected Doom. Got a bad RPG shooter that seems written by committee. Got this game for free with my video card, and I feel ripped off. Worst Wolfenstein game BY FAR. Very Very Bad.

The twins, who are supposed to replace BJ in his post of "bad ass Nazi-killing monster" are the most annoying thing since the invention of allchat in CoD series. It tries to be funny and gore at the same time and it totally fails. The whole plot is stupid as hell and beside new enemies and better guns, there is hardly anything else to pick up, because every single minute spend in this game is like putting salt in your eyes. I will save some time to all of you who are actually considering buying this game for whatever reason (playing co-op or slaying Nazis), it is DEFINITELY not worth the money.… Expand

    After completing the game, I can say that it's garbage. RPG mechanics ruined the game. It's just not fun anymore. Either you grind or suffer. Storyline is a joke. Main characters are anti-charismatic, boss fight are pathetic and the game ends with a cliffhanger. Please, don't tell me, that Wolfenstein 3 is gonna be about this characters. If so, I am officially stop buying this games.

    Gold Bars as microtransactions, skins for money in single player. Weapons lack punch, an FPS that feels like a greed grind. This is sheeplestein game in wolfenthesda clothing. If your a fan of the franchise prepare to be disappointed and taken advantage of.

    I don't understand why the main characters are teenage girls! Is the game such a target audience? I do not want to say that you can not make a shooter about teenagers with interesting characters,but there's just some absurdity. A team of three teenage girls exterminates the Nazis.One(black) teenage girl breaks and breaks all systems to Nazis and a game in every possible way hints that she is VERY CLEVER! SEE ,FROM THE GARBAGE COLLECTING DEVICE IS WIRE! Two sisters( the main characters) behave like children,clapping her hands,constantly joking is inappropriate and stupid,flashy in combat, some u like "-Eee rock! Herl power! sister,you're so cool! Look! I'm going to smear that Nazi's head! Oh,I have his brains in my mouth! Hahahaha funny!"and of course the army killing Nazis.Do you know how they came to this? If verbatim "-Pope is gone! Mom's not looking for him! Screw the ancestors! We'll do it ourselves! Ow! We have two exoskeletons in the attic especially for us and a lot of weapons! Screw the ancestors! Let's go kill the Nazis."
    I'm serious.There's the early scene where the girls fly away by themselves by helicopter from parents and angry calls from parents to answer, " Yes mom,I do not care,bye!I'm in France!"What strong and independent teenagers,I just can't! And the Germans are "- It's only the girls do them! ow! How can you lose to the girls! "
    In General, the problem of the narrative that we in a game about mass murder put the standard American story about teenagers who hang out and cool them.And they survive by the way! It's as stupid as if in the beginning life is strange-we played for Dunga in hell to solve their complex emotional problems. And I really don't know WHO

    Почему эта игра плохая?
    1. Это не шутер. Разработчики, непонятно зачем, решили добавить полоски жизни. Причем они двух видов, и игроку постоянно приходится переключаться между дробовиком и штурмовой винтовкой. Нет драйва.
    2. Сюжет. Сюжета тут нет. Игра заставляет игрока проходить десятки пойди-убей миссий.Очень однообразных и абсолютно бессюжетных миссий. 3. Героини. Они отвратительны.    Почему эта игра плохая?

    Why is this game bad?
    1. This is not a shooter. Developers, it is not clear why, decided to add health bar. And they are of two types, and the player constantly has to switch between the shotgun and the assault rifle. No drive.
    2. The plot. The game makes the player go through dozens of go and kill missions. Very monotonous and absolutely plotless missions.
    3. Heroines. They are disgusting. Not because they are ugly, but because they have Gopnik (a person of low social class that is usually dressed in sportswear and who lives in the suburbs. He is also very rude and can pinch your smartphone) characters. I can not show empathy to chav.
    4. Boost XP. Brilliant! Pay not to play.

    Not sure what I just played. It has nothing to do with what I love about good old Wolfenstein.
    It has micro transactions, sponge bullet enemies, terrible level design, abysmal save (or lack of) system and two caricatures as main characters. If this is a glimpse at the future of FPS gaming then its time for me to find another hobby. Very sad.

    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.

    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.
