I played coop with a friend and we had a very good time. Check the end of this review for a short guide on how to get it working.
   
   The graphics is very good although not obviously so during the intro and first mission. Rooms with desks have a lot of clutter and there are loads of different detailed objects scattered around.
   
   Guns feel meaty and make good sounds with good upgrade options available.
   
   The music is good with a distinct 80's vibe, although I would have liked a bit more of it.
   
   The sisters themselves are a bit annoying and unlikeable, thankfully you don't have to watch too many cutscenes with them.
   
   The gameplay is solid with a good variety of soldiers and mechanical opponents.
   
   The stealth mechanics could do with some work and melee kills could have a bit more variety.
   
   I don't think it would be as fun as a single player game, so definitely recommend playing with a friend.
   
   The difficulty is nicely balanced with some sections requiring a few tries to complete. Some parts of the sewers were completely pitch black, so definitely need the light attachment upgrade on your weapon!
   
   To get the buddy pass working you need the deluxe version of the game and your buddy needs the trial version. There is no play button for the trial version of the game on the Bethesda launcher, so either add it to steam as a non-steam game, or try launch it via the executable. Once the game is launched you need to link both accounts and then add a friend, these need to be done in-game. Only at this point can you invite your friend via the buddy pass.
   
   I don't understand why the buddy pass is so hard to use, when the rest of the game feels pretty polished.… Expand

   What Happend to Bethesda??.
   When i FINALLY Finished the terrible "Evil Within 2" and suffered though the "Girl Power, Wahmen R better"What Happend to Bethesda??.
   When i FINALLY Finished the terrible "Evil Within 2" and suffered though the "Girl Power, Wahmen R better" Ending, I was convinced bethesda had lost their minds and had started hiring Antifa to make their games.
   Anyone that wasnt convinced " The new Collosus" was a middle finger to white men and a propaganda piece for this weird modern Social Justice political trend going around these days, must be convinced after playing young Blood.
   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

   What an awful, poorly optimised game. I'm glad I didn't pay to play this game or I would be even more disappointed. Bethesda, sort your **** out.

   After RAGE 2 Bethesda drops yet another stinker.
   Wolfenstein: Youngblood has so many problems I don't know where to begin.
   
   The game takes place many years after New Colossus and BJ Blazkowicz's twin daughters have grown up to be annoying brats. It's almost like the developers played way too much Life is Strange and decided that they want to introduce a Chloé-esque character to the Wolfenstein universe, but not just one but two! "Awesome right, dude?" "F'yeah dude! Very awesome, dude"
   
   Which brings me to the next issue: this is a coop game. A forced coop at that. Even if you want to play alone you will have an AI companion, who wouldn't shut up for 2 seconds. The main objectives require both you and your human/AI partner to be alive, so if your companion is stuck elsewhere, then it's tough luck.
   The game doesn't use checkpoints, but instead only saves your EXP and item progression.
   What does this mean? It means if you and your partner run out of lives (3) then you are sent back to the beginning of the mission.
   This can happen very often as AI tends to wander off and then get downed. If you don't save her in time, then that's -1 life even if you don't die.
   
   Sounds fun huh?
   Oh wait, but there's more!
   There's no pause option in singleplayer.
   Let that just sink in: There. Is. NO. Pause.
   
   Alright, but is the shooting fun? Yes, it is. Granted if you are on the same level as your enemies.
   Levels? What Levels? Oh, didn't you know? Youngblood introduces a tedious leveling system. Most story related activites are locked behind a level requirement, meaning even if you are very good at FPS games higher level enemies have so much HP and dmg it's not even possible to succeed. So have fun grinding the first few hours.
   
   And to top all that up the game has microtransactions/in-game store.
   Not much needed to be said about this.
   
   Overall thoughts? Game is crap, and after 2 crappy FPS games in a row from Bethesda, both containing microtransactions I'm seriously worried how DOOM: Eternal will turn out. But one thing is for sure: Bethesda ain't getting another first day buy from me.
   
   PROS
   
   - Graphics are great
   - No performance issues
   - Gunplay is fun as long as you are in the same level range as your enemies
   - Enemy variety is decent, with some new addtions (EG:Laserhund, Bombenhund) and some returning ones such as the Elite Guards
   - Level design is interesting at times, when you discover shortcuts and hidden areas. Compared to other Wolfenstein games, this one's level design is less linear and incorporates more verticality.
   
   CONS
   
   - Extremely annoying main characters, who act and talk like infantiles
   - Poorly implemented leveling system, forcing you to grind to be able to tackle specific objectives
   - Pointless collectibles, which require you to revisit older areas with no real pay-off
   - Forced co-op with horrible AI companion
   - No pause option
   - Very limited content, even for a 30€ game.
   - Microtransactions… Expand
