    So dumme kommentare mit 0 punkten :/ Was für innovationen wollt ihr haben? Es ist ein klassischer shooter, informiert euch einfach über das schpiel bevor ihr es kauft. "Haare sehen nicht gut aus = alte grafik" - Du hackst nazis arme und beine ab, schiest köpfe weg, blut spritzt in alle richtungen, was für haare?

Overall a great sequel that you should support and ignore the idiots who are trying to desperately down toe this because of their agendas.… Expand

    Wolfenstein has been tried again and again, but to no avail. The game is neither fun not enjoyable, don't waste your time with this one. I'm giving it a 0 as the idea is executed VERY well, but the idea itself is plain silly! Move along fellow gamers!

    Every weapon in this game has a certain meaty punch to them, with a decent perk and upgrade system to go with them. Overall, despite what people say, there is plenty of gameplay here and machine games has included side operations too, as a sort of shield from complaints that its too short, and they work fine if just readjustments to the same maps in the world.

    Looking back on this game overall, I was in constant state of enjoyment, and that I cannot deny, there are very mixed opinions in terms of users for this game, and all i can say is you might hate it or love it. But its certainly worth finding out, because this game is surprisingly creative.    … Expand

    Frankly, the cut scenes are excessively long, unnecessarily so. Then there’s the issue I have with the disgusting SJW, anti white, anti “straight white male” and blatant pro communism agenda. I wasn’t part of the initial “outrage” from a while back. It’s apparent now that, in true SJW Leftist form, criticisms of this game’s obvious agenda was dishonestly mischaracterized. Criticism of Wolfenstein 2 was dishonestly equated to “I cant believe these racist white devils are mad that you kill Nazis in this game”. That isn’t and never has been a thing. I’m sure there are ignorant, naive people who didn’t look into it and just accepted the misinformation or outright lies being lobbed at anyone who dared to criticize Wolfenstein 2’s “story” (agenda).

    “Just who the **** are you whiteboy?” - Sister Grace

    “Well, you ain’t a white a** fascist Nazi pig, then you either colored or you’re a deviant.” (I.e, All white people are Nazis or deviants.) “You sure as h*ll ain’t colored so you trying to pass as a deviant? He look like a deviant to you, Sister Grace?” - Super Spesh (white guy)

    “ Come and f***ing get me you white a** Nazi pigs.“ - BJ Blazkowicz (white guy)

    We’ve been fighting every mother****ing day Blazkowicz. White America though?! Ha, they done packed up and given in. See. I guess they don’t have the fighting spirit no mo. Nah, the just do whatever the ****ing Fuhrer tells em to do.” - Sista Grace

    There’s the 8+ month pregnant Mary Sue, Anya Oliwa. Anya’s super hero level fighting skills are exhibited in one bizarre scene where she strips off all her clothes and obliterates a room full of Nazis/Panzerhounds while dual wielding machine pistols covered in their blood. At one point she belly flops onto her fully developed pregnant belly, shields BJ from a Grenada she throws.

    To be clear, I have no problem with exceptionally strong female protagonists. Horizon Zero Dawn, the Tomb Raider franchise and the Last Of Us are at the top of my list of favorite games. At the same time I found SJW zealot Neil Druckmann’s Nadine from the uncharted games to be ridiculous.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall the story development, and mechanics are fairly spot on for this game. I was a big fan of the reboot from a couple years ago and had I hopes for this and for the most part it totally delivered.

    Instead of going on about how great this game I'll point out my two major issues in which caused a 7/10
    1. When the game stops becoming about killing Nazi's and starts pushing **** white people, that's when I am bothered. I get wearing the shoe on the other foot, however when is the line drawn between the difference of a Nazi and a white person. clearly two different things in our culture today. Yet the writers persisted on having a major cut scene yelling **** white people.

    2. Gun wheel/selection mechanic is still the biggest gripe for me and has gotten worst since the first. Dual-wielding etc is just such a mess. Honestly at this point the only thing that will fix it, is a time pause while you switch weapons since it is just so god damn tedious.    … Expand

    -Too expensive for such a short game (About 8-9 hours).
    -Spent +30 hours so far trying to fix games' problems with workarounds came up by the community.
    -Apparently no quality testing has been done whatsoever.
    -Part of the 'challenge/perks' tiers that were also present in TNO is counterintuitive and unclear on how to complete. They have also stopped counting progress for no clear reason, even upon correct completion.
    -Too many collectibles. Collectibles are alright, but is this is a shooter or a card and toy hunter? Way overdone, taking brutally away from the experience. Making it look like a poor excuse to extend the short playtime.
    -Compared to previous Wolfenstein games (and this is coming from a fan who owns every one of them since the very first one came out) some sections of this game have INCREDIBLE poor level design, and are frankly, boring - a first for Wolfenstein.
    -Save data erased / all progress lost - 3 times.

Just like 2016's Doom, this game is a fast, fluid, challenging and rewarding shooter. But unlike Doom 2016, this game actually has one of the most engaging stories in an FPS I have personally ever played. The story itself touches on the main protagonist and his allies own humanity and struggle to escape oppression with a series of special operations in a 1960s America over thrown by the 3rd reich. In context the game starts immediately after The New Order, reccuring characters and themes all intact. The game starts you as a broken BJ Blazkowitz, suffering from internal injuries, being hunted by one of the main antagonist of the new order, Frau Engel, a sadistic Nazi general out for Blazkowitz blood after the events of the prior game. Literally being broken, the first half of the game is very stealth heavy, you can go guns blazing if you understand the enemy placements and environments you are in, but since the game starts you with such low health this can become a fairly difficult task. Around the half way point you are given new gadgets and boosted health which makes the game much more viable for your preferred playstyle. Which is a strong point, the game mixes elements of Machine games prior products very well. Visceral melee and stealth is reminiscent of Butcher Bay, while the fast paced duck and weave shooting is much like The Darkness. The gameplay all feels highly refined, aside from a few stealth sections feeling a bit gimmicky and unfair due to enemy placements and the ultra aggressive AI. A lack of multiplayer may come off as a turn off to some, but this does not personally bother me, being someone who prefers a solid single player offering without tacked on multiplayer. The campaign ranges anyshere from 10-15 hours or so depending on skill and difficulty selected, which I find a solid length for a single player shooter, where many last less than 6 hours in this day and age of MP focused triple A shooters. Personally this game, along with 2016's Doom, have been a true joy to play for me. The blend of retro style ultra violent gunplay, and modern tactical shooting mixed with stealth, knock the ball way out of the park. If youre a fan of a good single player experience, but this game and play it several times. If lack of MP disappoints you, at least try renting it or wait for a massive price drop, you may enjoy what you find.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a mess. In short, wait for a deep price drop as it's worth playing just to see what a mess it all is.

    Pros:
    - Fantastic graphics
    - Rich sound (sound effects and music is brilliant)
    - Good selection of guns, plus fun upgrades
    - I like the 'organic' skill tree
    - You get to kill Nazis, I hate Nazis

    Cons:
    -Story is a f--king mess. The tone is totally inconsistent. It will go from deadly serious drama to slapstick comedy within the same cutscene. The story has ZERO focus and tries to make us invested in 10+ characters, but none of them are interesting. Especially that resistance leader, she is an insanely irritating character but the story won't stop spending time on her. There are INCREDIBLY interesting plot points that go nowhere, hopefully it's resolved in W3.
    -BJ is wasted. He whines and **** about this character that is killed right in the beginning, for literally 50% of the game. Even after spending hours (yes) on developing BJ, I still don't understand or care for him. Halfway through the story, something so unbelievable happens that I lost all interest in his arch.
    -The game is broken up into 40% (perhaps more) cutscenes and 60% shooting. Of the shooting, 80% is sneaking and 20% is outright action. Wolf 2 is more concerned with its poor sneaking system then letting you actually shoot **** This is actually the most f--ked up thing about this new game. Only in the VERY LAST LEVEL was I ever actually running, shooting and having fun. That's because by the end of the game I was so tired of sneaking around. For the first half, you have 50% health and on the higher difficulty level you take 1 shot before going down.
    - Seriously, did anyone playtest the hit detection on this mofo? You die instantly and there is no indication of where the attacks are coming from. BJ feels as powerful as a used tissue. I miss the Doom slayer, at least he could take a few hits before going down.
    -More on the sneaking: this game was marketed to us incorrectly. The trailers were all action action action but if you go in guns blazing, enemies will swarm at you FOREVER until you take out the captain, and this is NO WAY to know if he is above or below you. It's so frustrating. Why market it as a shooter when they were trying for a watered down Dishonored? F--king LIARS.

    Overall: WHAT A F__KING WASTE OF MY TIME.

    Update: I had to drop my difficult from the hardest to the second hardest, as the hit detection is so poor, that you'll be dead in 0.5 seconds if you even pop out of cover, making playing it as an action game impossible on that level. You have to sneak. F--k this game.    … Expand

    Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is a solid and good shooter game that definitely has some charm and appeal for those wishing to kill some Nazis, but it also commits some flaws on its form and structure that holds it back from being a worthy sequel and even worse a great game of its own nature. Before I go into some depth of why I think this way I would like to state I have playedWolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is a solid and good shooter game that definitely has some charm and appeal for those wishing to kill some Nazis, but it also commits some flaws on its form and structure that holds it back from being a worthy sequel and even worse a great game of its own nature. Before I go into some depth of why I think this way I would like to state I have played Wolfenstein The New Order and beat it so to not have some comparison to its previous entry is going to be inevitable. Here are my views of the game:

    Things I like about Wolfenstein 2:
    1. Combat- The visceral, explosive and colorful sounds of Nazis being killed is always cathartic for me. I always take great pleasure in taking out as many as I can in a frenzy. This is The New Colossus's greatest strength and it shows well.
    2. World building - Collectibles are mostly good. I particularly like the music and documents along with the concept art that goes to show a believable world despite having a futuristic vibe.
    3. Character development- A significant improvement over the first game. The characters feel more than expository dumps and actually have more emotions.
    4. Slaughtering Nazis - This goes without saying and its so freaking great.
    5. Story - Surprisingly good writing in this game. Despite some issues for a big dumb action movie like script it actually has some clever moments.
    6. Weapon upgrades and perks are cool but they dont really all have the same value and some perk trees are far superior to others.
    7. Contraptions are good implementations that allow you try different approaches in areas like jumping, stretching and ramming. Adding perks on that is pretty good too.
    8. Music is great: Mick Gordon is a talented composer and musician. He is nowhere near DOOM's height, but still provides good music tracks for the ears.

    Things I dislike:
    1. Easy to die: The difficulty is too harsh and the power fantasy of killing Nazis loses its edge very easily when your health drops in the blink of an eye on even normal mode. By my 20 death count, I was already getting a bit tired.
    2. Weapon balance issues. If I can spam dual Shotguns through most of the game, then thats not good. There is hardly anything new that the sequel didnt already have. Dual wielding different types feels arbitrary and having to switch them on the fly in a firefight is tedious.
    3. First half of the story feels too slow and the second half feels too fast. I would have preferred a third part to show the actual revolution taking place, but the next game will do that I guess.
    4. You end levels by going to the objective and holding a button, disrupting the flow and have awkward moments where enemies you fight vanish in cutscenes. The UI for navigating areas is clunky and dull.
    6. Assassinating targets from the main game is boring and just padding with previous levels reused. shouldve fused them into the main game.
    7. Lots of glitches, bugs and hiccups that demand immediate fixes but not surprised anymore from a big name publisher.

    Things I'm indifferent on:
    1. Race and political commentary undertones. This is clearly trying to parallel civil rights and lots of African American, KKK, Communism and American exceptionalism seems to be rooted in this game, but some of it feels like shock value than actual critiques of the systems.
    2. Stealth is improved from the first but still feels awkward as enemies can wonky on their ais and feels like the flip of a coin on whether your tactics will work or just force you to go guns blazing.
    3. Enemy variety is lacking, but they do look more visually interesting. The first game had a solid foundation and much of the same this game has. I was expecting more from this and while there is some new enemies, there doesnt feel like theres enough to change up the tactics.
    4. Textures look great on some things and absolutely horrendous on others (like last gen level bad). This is something to see for yourself.
    5. Exploration feels like it needs more options like DOOM. There are definitely some secret areas, but it feels linear that I cant resist calling it a bit bland.
    6. Cutscenes sometimes go on for too long (overdramatizing) and some are jarring, but some are great and really well done.

    I respect Wolfenstein 2, but I cant help but feel its retreading the same ground as TNO instead of being its own game and story. The sequel bait ending, season pass DLC and preorder mission bonus all feel like the game is nowhere near complete and for a game costing $60 bucks that will take you 20-25 hours to 100% that feels like salt in the wound. Its worth a purchase for Wolfenstein fans and even shooter psychos wanting Nazi blood, but The New Colossus sacrifices too much to play safe despite some interesting moments it brings.    … Expand

    Game play is very satisfactory, nothing like killing nazis. Game story is over the top but when you have that in mind it is awesome. The guns are unique and very satisfying to use, love to dual wield shotguns and can't beat the Lasergewehr, wish it could be used longer with a single charge.

The bad, color or rather lack thereof, the game is really monochromatic. The cut scenes have nice color, i just wish they would have splashed more of it in the real time enviroment. Running and moving it is easy to get caught up on the destructable enviroment making for some frustrating fails in long fire fights. I little more forgiving particle density for ground cover that used to be on the wall might fix that . The ugly, the sound, ack even with headphones on you are always looking for the sound cues, it is not that the game does not suppy them, they are plenty, witty and fun, they are just in no way helpful in order to locate the enemy that they are coming from . Incoming weapon damage is difficult to measure the direction it is coming and seems
    extremely non linear. In summation , W2TNC is a fast paced shoot em up save the world from Nazi fun fest during a time in history most of us never thought we would see. Its monochromatic beauty is filled with easter eggs and awesome destructable enviroments. The flow of this almost perfect game is thrown off when you die atop a pile of health that you were not picking up because it is one of the few games I can think off that makes you do this manually/including ammo and shields. It also is interrupted when you stubb your toe on a splinter from a desk you blew up and a rocket hits you, that is putting a little to much reality into my escapism .Leveling up the weapons was a joy and I really found rooting around the enviroments rewarding.

It's also easy as sheit even on harder difficulties, because the harder difficulties don't make the AI smarter or more tactical or anything, no, it just makes the npc's bigger bullet sponges who do more damage. All that means is that you have to spend a longer amount of time running around the map (to avoid taking damage, really simple. Just keep moving and you don't get hit. . . fml), and shoot more ammo into the bullet sponges before they die. This doesn't make the game harder, it just makes it take longer to kill things.

    Conclusion: If you like just running around hip-firing like a prick in a very, very casual shooter that takes no skill, then this is the game for you. If you are like me who remembers actually good shooters like the Half-Life series then "move along, nothing to see here."

    So, why the 6?

    My biggest issues (1) It runs out of steam in its final acts, (2) the raw brutality is replaced by nonsensical jests, and (3) the level designs begin to all bleed together.

    The opening chapters - Ya, Ya, I know they're political/liberal - really do add some intriguing psychological layers to BJ and questions the ruthlessness of his carnage. In addition, Engel (initially) ranks up there with some of the greatest video game villains of all time. I kept thinking of The Governor from the Walking Dead comics - an ingenius sadist who (sadly) is always one step ahead.

    Unfortunately, after the "execution" - a true highlight of the game - the story becomes lost in its absurdity and loses all emotional weight. A horrid past is replaced with drunken Pig racing. Engel's omnipotent presence is made into a gameshow joke (seriously?) I completed the campaign feeling robbed and honestly thinking - did the developers forget what they were doing? Did they lose their nerve?

    Level Design - Despite coming out in 2015, the levels in TNO were much more memorable. There's nothing that matches the thrills of the Bridge level, the viciousness of the concentration camp, or the triumph of surmounting Castle Wolfenstein. While the graphics are vastly superiors in TNC, the levels felt bland and repetitive.

    Overall - For all the provocative trailers and grisly opening, TNC sadly withdraws from its savagery in favor for insanity.    … Expand

    Its full of typical mindless portrayals of people. This ones a redneck, that ones a communist....just disappointingly simplistic.

    Serious topics are handled like 19 year old rich suburban spoiled brats wrote about them after deciding they wanted to be a protester their freshmen year of college.

    Thanks to a very good map design and a lot of interesting collectibles (as well as many "readable" newspapers, diaries, letters etc which gives you insight not only into the life of the nazi soldiers but also into the lifes of the normal americans and recently arrived germans) It took me just about 20 hours from start to end on medium difficulty. The map design and all the collectibles as well as the opportunity to sneak around all enemies to try and take out the officers first (only the officers can raise the alarm and call for reinforcements) makes you actually wanting to find out what happened in the very different cities you're visiting.

    All in all, this game was a blast! Great gunplay with the possibility to upgrade almost every weapon, great level design, very graphically improved from the last game along with new shaders and lightning, great character-driven story and a lot of crazy moments that will make you remember this game for a long time makes for an extremely well crafted old school fps in a world filled with multiplayer games and loot boxes.

    and one of the most brutal openings to a video game I’ve ever experienced..
    You don’t stay this way forever thanks to a body suit you’re able to walk again…
    This time the game takes place in America...
    Once again in an alternate history where the Nazis won the war…
    seeing how this win affected America is thought provoking, and full of emotion…
    Easily one of the most impactful campaigns I’ve ever played through in a shooter…
    Here you’re starting to spark a revolution and take back America, killing some Nazi scum…
    Wolfenstein 2 is a much more compact game compared to the original, this time only taking around 6 and a half hours to complete…
    But it’s an enjoyable 6 and a half hours...
    much more linear as well with the same concepts of taking out scouts so they don’t trigger alarms, and stealthing through areas or going in guns blazing…
    The weapon variety isn’t as vast, but you have your typical base weapons you’d expect in most shooters... but to bring some variety in, your guns are all upgradable, allowing you to add a perk to give them an entirely different feel….
    The level design isn’t that great this time around…
    it feels pretty dull and generic…
    The greatness comes in the setting and the story telling…
    when the game puts you into perspective of the world around you..
    Without the great story pieces, this is still a good shooter… but just good...
    There are no epic fights or showdowns…
    Just a bunch of running from point a to b and shooting everything in your way…
    it plays and feels how you’d expect, but no moments outside of cut scenes blew me away
    I love how the story was delivered though, in ways you wouldn’t expect and are surprising each time…
    This game will break your heart, it will give you hope, it will take it away…
    for those reasons alone, you owe it to yourself to play through this first person shooter…

Terror Billy this time round has a very cool armour suit he wears, as he is physically weak from operations, and can dual wield guns though I find this burns through ammo too quickly. Explore thoroughly as levels are packed with collectibles, star cards, weapon upgrade packs and so on. Reading notebooks and postcards immerses you in the alternate history.

    The NPCs are very well done and if you stand still get to hear them talk, usually very funny conversations like Set and Frau Engels daughter, when she bursts into song :-) Weapons are well done with heavy weapons like the laser cannon an absolute joy, you can melt crates to grab more ammo-shield-health packs. I upgraded the assault rifle for armour piercing for extra damage versus drones and armoured troops. Guns feel solid with effects like recoil and muzzle flash done well.

    Great FPS blast, do you go all guns blazing or a stealthier approach? Personally I like stealth as it satisfying to find a vent you can snipe from and take down enemies, think I will go for the sniper scope on the AR as iron sites at range are poor. Lots of things to explode in the game like fuel tanks and gas cannisters. Stealth you can silence your weapons and use takedowns with the hatchet, thrown or held though throwing it needs a clean line of site and is low distance only. The NPCs are so well done its similar in quality to The Witcher 3. Ace game buy it, kill Nazis and liberate America!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This boring derivative shooter is using a venerable franchise to make a quick buck by injecting the game play with a story riddled with anti-white propaganda and social engineering.

    The 'punch a Nazi' refrain goes well beyond the traditional villains of the series and expands the virtue signaling to anyone who is white. We discover our hero was abused as a child by his white father who, surprise surprise was a terrible racist and anti-semite. We discover that the great hope for the world is the multi-ethnic group of resistance fighters which are a carbon copy of other SJW productions like Star Wars The Force Awakens.

    The developers here have gone OUT OF THEIR WAY to push a particular narrative here and it is visible in the opening minutes of the game and continues throughout. Its poison, and it should be rightly rejected and called out for the damage it is doing not only to gamers, but to what is left of Western Civilization.    … Expand

    With its mixture of high octane gunplay and remarkable visual presentation, in many ways The New Colossus is a serious improvement over its already excellent predecessor. Presenting a frightening view of the past, biting commentary and an engrossing cast - led ably by the surprisingly endearing and thoughtful BJ - it really is a very strong showing in a year full of strong showings.

All I was really hoping for was some good Nazi shooting sections and hopefully a comparable story to the first, and what I got was delivered tenfold.

    I've had several laugh out loud moments at the over the top story elements and even on the mid-range difficulty find myself being tested by the surprisingly adept AI. The AI is actually the one thing that has been continuously surprising me as I keep finding myself dying to enemies that have managed to sneak up behind me or have remained in cover long enough to jump out at me when I wasn't expecting them to be there. There is one section in a court (without giving anything away) that challenged me in a tooth-clenching, infuriating way that I haven't experienced since gaming as a kid. I knew I could lower the difficulty to breeze through it but I absolutely couldn't, it felt wrong to do so.

    All around this has been way more than I was expecting and I already had very high hopes. I've been burned recently with pre-orders (Mass Effect Andromeda) and vowed never to buy a game that way again. But after playing Doom and loving my experience with the New Order, this one didn't feel like a gamble - and it seems I struck the jackpot.    … Expand

Now to people that say no multiplayer......... just **** off.......yep simply put **** off, you knew this game was not going to have multiplayer so using that as a detractor is like buying a car knowing it's a three door and then complaining to the manufacturer that it doesn't have five,which quite simply makes you sounds a remtard short of trying to bite your own ear off while trying to use your fingers to touch your wrists.

    My hat goes off to the developers who have poured time, effort and love in to this game and have created something that hasn't been seen in modern gaming for the last 20 years,and with the recent craze of loot boxes, DLC and season passes suffocating games in a cloud of greed it's a welcome change for a developer to show how things should be done, so please support games like these and hopefully EA, Ubisoft and other "AAA" developers will take note and stop producing games for the sole purpose of testing how tight they can squeeze their consumers ****

    So I'm playing this game and it is good. This one thing bothers me. At some point we are introduced to this new character "Adolf" and he's there for one scene, he's kinda quirky and I have no idea who he is and what he's even doing in there. I believe someone mentions him in the first game (they call him "main feerer" which in Wolfenstein language means president/king or a master I think) but he serves no purpose to the story. Then it hit me.

    As some of you know Wolfenstein games are based on the anime and manga series 魔法 少女マイン☆カムプフ. I have not seen any of it (though it's free on Crunchyroll) but according to wiki this character is prominent in manga/anime. So that's basically a pointless fanservice which I'm not sure I like. There is no setup and apparently he's behind EVERYTHING now!? All the death camp places and robodoggos and wars.

    So now he's going to be the main bad guy? Maybe? Which kind of sucks. Whats up with the character design being so lazy? They just made an old guy with black hair and and a mustache. Except they only modeled half the mustache in the middle of his face which looks weird (or that might be a bug). That makes him a pretty easy cosplay though.

    The rest is fine. Can't wait for Wolfenstein 3 which will definitely happen based on the ending.    … 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.
