    The game does not miss a step from the New order. It's a direct continuatio

    It's really better than some reviews seem to say. While W:TNO looks dated now, and a little too-serious for its own good, this one has good animations, fluid gameplay and a very fun story with a number of heartfelt moments. Get it.

    The father character is abnormally evil (done on purpose as if we already don't look down on racism).
    Killing the family dog because you kissed a little black girl as punishment doesn't make sense.
    These are all cheap shots. Unrealistic interactions either; I know it's a scripted game but comes off more awkward in "deep dialogue" portions....
    It's a generic FPS, with a PC storyline. So if doom eternal's, "mortally challenged" reference triggered you. Come to Woken-Stein!    … Expand

    Music - Whoever produced the music for this game is awesome! There's a super heavy song at the beginning menu that was great. Even for the silly cut scene's there is a dynamic and well performed music parts that I thought sounded much better than other games in its genre.

    Simple mechanics - Very simple gameplay in the sense that you'll never be confused in upgrading weapons, collecting items, or using weapons. It's pretty dumbed down which I like as it doesn't overcomplicate gaemplay.

    Saving: Although some people may complain this takes the difficulty out of the game, I like this feature as the difficulty and amount of enemies at some points in the game are frustrating.

    CONS:

    Gameplay movement - I felt B.J. moved too fast and it felt too cartoony in that sense. The melee kills are a little over the top but hey, thats Wolfenstein. The aiming is fine but I feel the player movement somewhat takes away from it.

    Difficulty - WOW! Even on Medium this game can get tedious. Thank God you can save whenever you want otherwise it would suck. Some parts enemies will come literally from every angle, and on Medium it takes about 5 seconds to die when this happens. A bit too harsh for me. Towards the end of the game it becomes hilarious for all the wrong reasons. The stealth sucks too. Even when carefully maneuvering through levels, you'll always get caught eventually, and then literally every enemy in that giant part of the map swarm you relentlessly. It is god-damn awful and honestly not fair.

    Graphics - I don't know what it is about Bethesda, but their graphics always are weird. There is a mastered 'shine' in the game, but at the same time their are moments where large pixels are noticed and it just looks sloppy/lazy. There was one point where I was throwing nades at an enemy through a hole through a ceiling, an the grenades just bounced off the hole like it was solid ground. SMH.

    Overall, good/funny story that addresses real issues in the world today and yesterday. The music was great, the overall gameplay was OK but also felt rushed. The graphics looked like standard Bethesda style. The difficulty felt stupidly overwhelming at times (imagine getting the 'Mein Leben' trophy?!). I think the Bethesda could've added a little more to this game. This game could be an 8 if its serious technical/gameplay flaws could be addressed and updated.    … Expand

Blazkowicz is injured and falls into a coma for 5 months, and awakens just as the U-Boat they have commandeered is attacked by Nazi forces.

    I’ll just come right out and say it, The New Colossus is one of the most disappointing sequels I’ve played. Apparently in response to feedback that the The New Order was ‘too easy’, the developers have upped the difficulty making the fast paced run and gun gameplay all but impossible on even the default setting (the lowest setting is too easy). This in itself wouldn’t be disastrous if the stealth mechanics were enjoyable, but they’re not. Enemy detection is too inconsistent, and in a good number of areas alerting the ‘commanders’ results in enemies infinitely respawning until you can kill them and shut down the alarm.

    In between many of the missions you find yourself inside the U-Boat that acts as kind of a hub. For some reason you’ll usually be tasked with finding someone or something to start the next level, these sections are as dull as you’d expect and the fact that the useless map doesn’t always make it clear where you’re supposed to go only makes matters worse.

    There is the odd bright spot, but I didn’t even make it to the end of what is apparently a relatively short campaign...    … Expand

    Solid gameplay and story. Few very cool moments and that is it. Game is simply boring and repetitive. There are no boss fights, not enough weapons and only like 3 different enemies in the whole game. Side missions are not worth playing at all. Game is also too short. I love Doom but this does not deliver the awesomeness of the run and shoot games.

    The New Colossus is no where as close to The New Order.

I like Bombarte a lot. It's fine that Black people think they look good, but it's not fine if they think it's true and puts it in my favorite game. You cannot let gansters and rogues lead a great revolution, while making all other people look stupid. Grace is apparently nothing more than a street rogue, and the calm, wise Caroline was beheaded at the begining of the game. Full of non-sense. The worst part, they made my BJ a 'yo, yo, chect it out' rapper. They way he dress, the tone he talk, etc. Again, that's not cool, and it's not fine to make my dear American solder BJ into a rapper.

    Second, the story of this game is just crap. Plot like BJ being beheaded is cool, but lack of depth, which is also the problem of this whole games. The growth of Sigrun makes no sense. Who would help strange enemies killing her own mother? She started weak, and then have sex with Bombarte, and all suddenly, she grasp Grace's neck, and became a strong, grown woman. What nonsense is this? The large party night they had. So typically fun with no meaning. It doesn't increase the depth of the story. It doesn't help forming a character. Just like junk food, fun but crap.

    The whole game is just like that party, low-level enjoyment with no depth. It is enjoyable to certain people, especially black people apparently, but junk is junk. It's not a good game. It defiles the story and people established in the New Order. It offences me. It's a piece of crap.    … Expand

    Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is an FPS that makes a ton of good to great decisions, but also a handful of poor ones. Tightly crafted gameplay is marred by adherence to genre conventions, and the narrative gets off to a slow start as the game decides what it wants to be. However, neither of those are enough to drag this down too much, as it is simply too well put together and has more than enough personality and fun to poke through the layer of seriousness draped over the first parts of the campaign. What is left is a game that can stand as a very fine example of its genre, if not quite a groundbreaking one.
