    I was unimpressed. The single player campaign was a lot of scripted events and linear story telling with cut scenes, but little gameplay. And thats when I realized if I stripped the thematics out of the game and just took it at its mechanics, this is a very short, very underwhelming FPS with no innovations.

It could have been a 5/10 mediocre game that was ignored entirely… Expand

    Incredible!! I never thought I would live to see the day where people give a game a zero for killing Nazis, oh how far we have fallen. With that said however, what a beautiful and amazing game! Fun to play, gorgeous to look at. Highly recommended.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thoroughly enjoyable game, with some really fun (but not revolutionary) shooting mechanics and a great story. Although, spoiler alert, I found the bit where you murder Donald Trump while chanting “SJWS WILL RULE THE WORLD, BOW BEFORE THE NEW WORLD ORDER” a little bit odd.… Expand

    I just love killin' Nazis! I also love nazi sympathizing infants trying to bring down the score of an amazing game. Cry harder you nazi babies, your tears give me strength I need to kill more nazis. Thank god for dead nazis!

    It's literally never been a better time to kill Nazis.

    The game does not miss a step from the New order. It's a direct continuation. I mean like the first game never ended. So don't worry about that mishmash of a game called the old blood. This game's story plot so far is as good as the New order. The run and gun action feels great. Sounds of the weapons sound meaty. The music not only    It's literally never been a better time to kill Nazis.

This game's story plot so far is as good as the New order. The run and gun action feels great. Sounds of the weapons sound meaty. The music not only pumps you up but is very musical. There is a lot of levity mixed in with the killing of the Nazis which made me laugh fewa times. There are multiple difficulties and a "hint" button in-game so you can play it kind of old school style. Meaning you make your own way. And only use it when you get stuck. Which I really like. I hate it when games nowadays lead your hand all the time. So much you don't have to think where you are going. Great game so far. Machine Games know what they are doing. You really can't go wrong with buying this if you enjoy FPSs or the New order.    … Expand

    Everything that one was hoping from a Wolfenstein sequel. Absolutely stellar game. Mick Gordon has done yet another fantastic soundtrack. The characters are great and the story is wonderfully over the top again

    Almost perfect
    Great game gunplay is perfect and story is good. Despite the stronger story elements this game still feels like Wolfenstein. A surprise character appearance was good the only negative was the lackluster ending.

    Repetitive game with way too many cutscenes and QTEs. It brings absolutely nothing new to the table and is essentially an offline CoD with shoehorned upgrade and RPG mechanics. I just don't see the point of this game.

    Also pushing political agendas in a time like this doesn't really seem to be a clever thing to do in my eyes. "Wite ass pig" just isn't bueno.

    For what it is - I must go 10 this time. Simply put - Shooting/action is extremely satisfying and even more improved and story is amazing just like in W:TNO (I have a suspicion that authors of the game likes Quentin Tarantino but thats only a plus for me).I really don't have much to say, if you enjoyed the first game you definitely enjoy this one !

    This is how you honor an old franchise. Excellent, fresh, fast & fun. Story is jaw-droppingly good, considering genre and Mick Gordons soundtrack packs a punch.
    Original Wolfy wasn´t the first FPS, but it´s my first FPS that i played back in the day.
    I like that Machine Games is doing their own thing with this IP.

    Wolfenstein the new order is my favorite game in 2014,a bad ass story filled with memorable characters.The sequel is all that but just better.The gunplay and graphics improved so much.It's also more brutal than the first one,you can smash an axe into enemy's face.It's rare to see a linear shooter that focus on the story and single player gameplay these days.And Machine games done itWolfenstein the new order is my favorite game in 2014,a bad ass story filled with memorable characters.The sequel is all that but just better.The gunplay and graphics improved so much.It's also more brutal than the first one,you can smash an axe into enemy's face.It's rare to see a linear shooter that focus on the story and single player gameplay these days.And Machine games done it perfectly.

    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.

    The second part continues in the footsteps of its predecessor and does not bring any major changes. However, it brings a hectic, explosive action accompanied by an excellent, though sometimes too exaggerative story.

    Shocking, silly and brutal, BJ's comeback spins an enjoyable, if tonally confused, yarn. Despite its issues, this is still a rollicking thoughtfully driven shooter. [Christmas 2017, p.93]
