    Buggy as heck. When I finally got it to work I was disappointed at a trite, pedantic story heard a million times before. Gameplay was ok, standard FPS heavily story driven, NO multiplayer. Not worth 60 bucks imo. Not even close.

    Enjoyed the previous games. But this seems to be Bethesda laziness showing as usual. They haven't really created anything new and this just seems to be a rehash of what they had before with some blended cutscenes. Like what they did with Fallout 4. Definitely not worth $59. Rent or wait until it goes on discount

    SJWs rejoice! Bethesda blew it again; terrible, nonsensical story, and Bethesda wholeheartedly embraced the SJWism that formed around the game. Not worth the time or the money, and anyone who wants to 'kill nazis' can play an actual WWII shooter and not this crap.

    The other two Wolf games were great and playable... This has far too many and very long cut scenes ! 3.5 hours worth ? Got bored with this and could not enjoy or finish it. It does not improve on the other two games which you would expect in 2017. I have played all the best fps and adventure games and this left me bored and very disappointed in comparison. Poor story and gameplay. I canThe other two Wolf games were great and playable... This has far too many and very long cut scenes ! 3.5 hours worth ?

    -Extremely unpolished and broken with A LOT of bugs for an AAA release.

Furthermore - players who think it IS acceptable and keep defending that it's normal for games not working upon release should listen to themselves, and are the exact extension of the problem that allows the industry to continue this way nowadays.
    -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.
    -Saves that you actually do might want deleted, can't be done so from in-game menu, and instead require to be manually deleted in the game's save folder like the 90's - an era where games were actually functional from day 1.    … 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!

    Sorry i have always loved this game series until this game. I felt it was very forced and very little gameplay. Gameplay has always been a huge part of the series

    You CANT SKIP THE GOD AWFUL OFFENSIVE INTRO IN WHICH A BAD DAD REPEATEDLY SAYS THE N WORD. EVERY TIME YOU PLAY YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE SAME BORING ASS 20 MINUTE DRAMA. WILL NEVER PLAY AGAIN.

    The minute i started playing i seemed like a old game. Then i had to choose someone to kill to advance. So i decided not to choose to see what happens. Nothing. I could stay all week and none got chosen for me. So, this is how you waste millions? Lack some testing first. Uninstall dont even want to see the rest.

    I'd like to enjoy this game but frankly the bad performance, sheer lack of decent level design, and unfun gameplay just make it impossible to play. It's a shame because it has potential (Who in this modern day doesn't want to kill nazis and klansmen?) but they seriously need to hire at least one person who actually knows anything about game design and engine design before it could possiblyI'd like to enjoy this game but frankly the bad performance, sheer lack of decent level design, and unfun gameplay just make it impossible to play.

    Far left propaganda. If you want to play a game without political correctness or radical far left nonsense being shoved down your throat then please Save your money and buy something else.

    Being one of my fav on the PS4 the Switch version does not skip a beat. OK maybe its not as sharp as the other versions but it still looks and plays damn good. Hard to belive they pulled it off so well porting it over. So much fun. Great Job Nintendo/Panic Buttton

    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]
