The story… is complicated. Some scenes are very well written and make you genuinely feel for the characters, other times, they are just plain stupid, to the point where I was rolling my eyes and sighing aloud. I love the world though. Something about Nazis winning ww2 and conquering Earth is really cool. Hell, Hitler was the best part of the game. Now, let me explain. He worked incredibly well as this insane and drugged-up lunatic. He felt historically accurate and I copied see real Hitler becoming like this if he won. The music is honestly kinda forgettable. I didn’t care about it. I also want to bring up how bad the sexual and nude scenes are. I usually don’t care about stuff like this but this was next level bad. A lady kills some bad guys then rips her shirt off and reveals her breasts just cause… I don’t know to be completely honest. Overall, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus was an okay game. Not bad, but I kinda hesitate to call it good. Just play Doom.… Expand

    It's a really fantastic fps game, but it can cause problems with the mechanics in ps5. The game is really not relatively fast compared to other ps5 games for mechanical speeds. The camera angle is really hard to get used to. If you're playing for the first time, of course, other than that, it's a super. it deserves to be a game in my eyes.

    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.

    Wolfenstein II is one of those bigger, better sequels. A fast-paced FPS with tons of collectibles, gore and tough challenges. Fans of the previous Wolfenstein will find it to be an improvement in every way. This entry has a better narrative, bigger levels and plenty of guns and abilities. Graphically, it's an upgrade over its predecessor. I would rate "New Colossus" with a 9 out of 10.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Everything is on the top level, production quality is simply stunning, not less than parent company (id Software) has.
    And this is just the best Wolfenstein game. And one of the best games ever made.

    my problems with the game is there's no New Game Plus so it's not a specifying to play the game again with all your perks on dark and the game is a bit more story than game for my liking. I think it is about 25/75 percent gameplay.
    I prefer the tone in the first one word filter more ground. Weird stuff still happend But always feels like you were still in our world. Just more f***** up when in this one. It feels like we have went a bit more into the fantasy.

    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....

Clearly a lot of thought went into writing the story and the dialogue - yes, it's over the top - but it's still quite something. At times, it was a bit shocking, and certainly topical, even 4 years after its release.
    Gameplay is similar to the predecessor, with a few nice tweaks, such as weapon upgrades, more perks, and the ability to dual wield any two weapons (which for me was a minor game-changer.) It feels really smooth - in the first level you're in a wheelchair the entire time - but it doesn't feel clunky at all. I'm sure you can get this game cheaply now - definitely worth doing so.    … Expand

The trophies aren't as easy as last time. You don't get to kill Hitler. No zombies or aliens this time. And the weapon selection/ swap system was sort of annoying. The stealth didn't feel like it worked as well as it should have but I think that's just because I suck at stealth and have that same complaint with every game.

    It is a violent game but I don't think there is a single gamer out there who does not know what this series is about - killing nazis. It is done in such a fun and creative way though, that these games just simply don't get boring. I enjoyed the flash back parts as well, as we learned a lot more about our hero's tough upbringing. I also truly hated the main villain (which is very good I guess), she is so evil you really want to do your best to finally kill her. Very satisfying...

    The boring and meaningless compulsory side tasks in-between the main missions make it even harder to effectively enjoy the game. It definitely had some major bugs as well to make the gameplay even more frustrating. The campaign, however, is decent enough and sometimes it's just so damn fun to shoot up the bad guys in the game. This game gets a 7/10. Nothing more, nothing less.

    The graphics in this game are outstanding for most of it. The gunplay is tight and the ability to make upgrades is a good addition. It never felt repetitive in my opinion. I'll say the worst part of the game is the water... I mean seriously, was the person in charge of water graphics on vacation for the entire development? Mario on the NES has better water than this game does on my PS4.
    It's a fun game. Cut scenes are entertaining and go right along with the story. I feel like there's something else going on with the negative comments here, because this is Nazi killing goodness.    … 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

If you like attention to detail above all else, you will love Wolfenstein II. If you like modern gameplay above all else, then you may just be frustrated to death with this game.

    The detail is amazing. Although the levels are not big, they are well thought and designed with more items than exist in most games. The detail is a such a supreme effort that Bethesda even included original music for the Nazi occupied 1960s. The cutscenes are simply insane, and I give kudos to Bethesda for topping one insane scene with an even more insane scene. In terms of look and feel, this game is an 11 out of 10.

    The gameplay, however, is stuck in the past. There is a reason that Halo was so popular in 2001. The game dispensed with the usual gameplay of clearing out a level and then scouring the area for ammo and health packs. Scouring a level slows down gameplay and is not all that fun. Halo had a relentless drive that made it so fun and replayable. Activision soon followed the Halo formula for Call of Duty and now every modern shooter benefits from Halo-like gameplay. This is why I am befuddled that Bethesda relies so much on the old school shooting in Wolfenstein II. You might notice that the Doom reboot also has the same old school gameplay, and Doom also has only so much appeal.

    I think Wolfenstein might have benefited from going in a direction of either more action or more of exploration. The level of detail is well done but only goes so far on a small scale. The enemies are interesting but paced because the mechanics do not support mass encounters. Some enemies like giant walking tanks are easily destroyed by shooting through a doorway. Waves of low level enemies are deadly because the computer has no problem with hitting a moving target. (Even the great Halo understood this, and all the enemy weapons have significant travel time.) So you have a game where the boss fights are uninteresting and the low level fights can be frustrating and un-fun. Some fights are inspired, like the time I destroyed a half dozen Nazi’s in the one tight corridor on an underground train or the utterly gratuitous sequence where I piloted a giant flame throwing robot dog. Most of the fights are the same old same old. It is good to see the laser rifle back. Less is done with this weapon than in the last game, but it remains a great time for all.

    Full disclosure: I bought this game used off of Gamestop for about $5. I feel bad now because despite the gameplay, I enjoyed the full package. The campaign is meaty and well worth the cost of admission.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. el juego en sí es bastante excelente, nos dice que nuestro protagonista tenía antecedentes crueles desde su infancia y que, debido al curso actual, asesinaron a un asesino que mataba a nazis, que por dentro sufría demasiado y no podía continuar, lo que no puede pensar con claridad. , pero luego decide continuar, porque su madre (aunque es un sueño pero parece estar conectado) trata de motivarlo y desahogar esos pensamientos negativos que hace mucho tiempo lo transformaron, por lo que se calma y por lo tanto continúa salvando este mundo hacer una revolución contra los nazis, convirtiéndolo en el personaje mejor construido que lo convirtió en mi favorito. Los personajes secundarios tienen una buena contribución, aparte de la comedia que es algo secundario y con poco desarrollo, ayuda a tener un desarrollo en la trama eso progresa, como cualquiera que estaba preocupado con su esposo porque ella casi no está cerca de ella y la trata de animarse un poco en un ambiente tranquilo, haciendo que el momento sea decente. o como un conjunto que contribuye a otorgarle el arma de explosión / lazer, para poner su cabeza en un cuerpo biológico (como lo hizo con su gato) que también le otorgo un arcenario de cada uno a los 3 y contando y guiando dónde está el uno que se encuentra donde detonar el arma nuclear. El general muestra un orgullo posesivamente alegre que presiona y sufre a sus enemigos de algo que cumple un buen desarrollo como villano (que me gustó y quería hacerla sufrir).

    La mecánica del juego ha mejorado mucho antes de su predecesor, el nuevo orden que tenía algunos problemas que habían implementado y luego los corrigió de una mejor manera, como los 3 arcanos, como la modificación de armas y el uso de 2 armas. sin usar el mismo que llevas para usar una buena combinación e implementación como los 3 arcaneles como constrictor para ocultar y acabar sigilosamente con los nazis, el torso que cruzas en las paredes y los enemigos para obtener partes de la armadura e incluso generar metal de la armadura, y los pies que obtienes 3 puntos de vida y mantienes un total de más de 100 de salud sin gastar y trepando pisos presionando el salto 2 veces, lo que hace que el diseño de nivel logre variar gracias a los arcenales

    los gráficos son bastante buenos aunque no están al nivel de su competencia, tiene buenas texturas y física que los juegos sobresalieron en DooM 2016 y más cuáles son los efectos especiales que transmiten sonidos que reducen las explosiones y los disparos. La música es buena pero no perfecta porque hay pocos que no sean malos pero que sean decentes.

    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.

    What I really like about this game (as well as its predecessor) is the alternate 1960s history, the characters and storytelling. Protagonist BJ Blazkowicz's character is being built up as a man forced to survive in a world gone awfully bad, and having to deal with his personal demons. Flashbacks show us his tough upbringing by a cruel father, justifying how a man can possibly slaughter hundreds of Nazis like it were a piece of cake. Blazkowicz also has a pregnant girlfriend and worries about his fiancè and unborn twin daughters, foreshadowing the events of Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Storywise the highlight is the level where Blazkowicz faces his father. The main antagonist is Frau Engel, returning from The New Order, portrayed as a maniacal and sadistic Nazi general in a playful way. I also like how they mixed Roswell and Area 52 in this alternate history. Even though Hitler isn't the main antagonist, he makes a cameo appearance (and you have the chance to kick him in the face).

    Gameplay is the same as The New Order. You have to traverse some open maps (it's not an open world) and shoot down tons of enemies with the option of doing it stealthily. Whereas in The New Order it was possible to stealth kill entire legions of Nazis, I find it much more difficult to sneak up on enemies in The New Colossus thanks to the level design and the fact that the commanders are located at the very end of the levels, meaning you have to sneak past all of the enemy soldiers before assassinating these commanders (if they spot you they call in re-inforcements). Since gameplay mechanics have remained mostly the same, the developers added 3 "contraptions" (aka gadgets) which you gain access to midway through the campaign. One major gripe I have with the game (as well as its predecessor) is the classic chokepoints. At some points in the game you have to dispatch many waves of re-spawining enemies with bullet sponges thrown into the mix. Without spoiling the story, at the court scene I had to re-load the game some 20 times before finally clearing the level. This is not Dark Souls-style challenging, this is annoying and unfair.

    Graphics have been greatly upgraded since The New Order (which was a cross-gen game), The New Colossus focuses on current-gen consoles and sports greatly expanded and detailed levels with many more colors in the chromatic palette. The game runs at 60 fps with just a few drops, and gameplay fluidity is never impacted too much. The voice acting is great, with standouts being the Engel and Blazkowicz characters. The OST is OK.

    Overall, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a big improvement over The New Order. It's a shame this series is under-appreciated among gamers and the one-dimensional Doom (let alone CoD) steals all the headlines these days. I hope there is a Wolfenstein III in the future, because Youngblood doesn't really hit the target. I definitely recommend The New Colossus to everyone.    … Expand

Back in 2014, Bethesda revived the "Wolfenstein" series for the eighth generation of gaming with "Wolfenstein: The New Order." Many reviewers ended up quite liking the game, and after finally giving it a whirl this year, I thought it was a fine title. Nothing extremely fantastic, but it was pretty solid overall even despite a weak finish. Three years later, Bethesda returned with this sequel, and once again, it took me a while to get to the game. Once I did, though, I can tell you that I had an absolute blast with the game.
    "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" is the complete package for a first-person shooter: from a gameplay standpoint, it takes everything about the first game (both good and bad) and makes amazing improvements: the already solid controls are even smoother, the game as a whole feels so much faster, the gunplay is still really fantastic, and the level design is far more compelling and memorable this time around. Visually, the game is also a real stunner, and what really sets this game apart from the rest of the FPS pack is the writing. This game is not afraid to slow down on the Nazi-killing, blood-splattering fun to remind you that there's a really great story here, one that's filled with real emotion yet still throwing in some comic relief and utilizing its alternate history route to outstanding effect, and rounding itself out with a cast of character that are excellently realized: I applauded Blazkowicz's character development in the last game, and here, he remains the badass that you still sympathize with and root for (especially given the added backstory in this game), his crew is packed to the brim with personality and charm, and General Engel is a sinister, terrifying, and fantastic villain that you'll remember long after you play the game.
    If I could complain about anything at all, it's that the difficulty spike still shows up a few times (largely because, as many have said, the game doesn't give you a ton of feedback when getting hit), but the overall gameplay has been improved so much that this doesn't feel like as big of a problem to me. All in all, "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" is a much-improved, all-around fantastic shooter that should stand tall as one of the eighth generation's better action titles, and definitely as one of the generation's finest FPS titles. And hey, if you're upset about the recent cold streak Bethesda's been on as of late, you might want to give this game a shot, just to see what it's like when they, along with their subsidiaries, actually put real care and effort into their titles, because I can tell you, this game was made with plenty of love and care. You won't want to miss it!

The world as imagined is conveyed effectively.

    Gameplay: Classic heart-pounding id software push-forward combat combined with some compelling stealth scenarios. Perks upgrade system encourages you to make deliberate choices about how you want to play and gently guides you as to how to improve in that style. Good level design, but nothing that has really made me stop and admire the intricacy. Difficulty is the only place where gameplay is an issue. Despite five or six difficulty settings, devs could not find the sweet spot between "don't hurt me" (2nd) and "bring it on" (3rd) settings, the former being a little too easy, and the latter being a little too hard. I prefer the "don't hurt me" setting to keep the story moving (and of course, not dying a bunch and being able to take a lot of grief fits the character). Manual save option is a nice feature for people interested in playing on a higher difficulty.

    Takeaway: This is what games should be in 2019. You don't have to pick and choose between compelling gameplay and a captivating narrative experience. We deserve both, and TNC delivers. This is a compelling and entertaining ride. Play it and have fun. 10/10.    … Expand

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

    It is very offensive to white people, while giving rootless worship to black people. The white characters are either brain-damaged or nuts. The white man came with Grace got his G-spot touched by a toilet. Hitler is rude, ill-mannered and carzy. Horton, the New Orlean leader, is a clown who's high from drugs all the time.

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

    After an awful wheelchair PoV start and an interesting albeit over the top stereotyped cut sequence, I actually put the game down after thirty minutes. Clunky control, abysmal level design. As an old nerd that played the original I'm very disappointed.

    The game is tedious and annoying, you're super fast which you'd think encourages a speedy action paced gameplay, but you'd be wrong because of how bad the auto-aim of the enemies are which shoot you from a dozen different directions at once without you even knowing where they are. super low health for most of the game and quick deaths, not hard just stupid and boring, forcing you into this weird COD gameplay mode that just doesn't fit the setting of the world. only a few variety of enemy types and bland and boring/forced moments that take away from what "wolfenstein" is meant to be, a badass shooter like DOOM FFS. This is just some sad shooter with a paint of EMO/SJW/PC propaganda all over it.    … Expand

    I feel as if this was a great follow up to the previous Wolfenstein games. The gun mechanics are very satisfying, as when you shoot there's a lo of punch in the weapons especially ones like the "Shockhammer". Moments of fighting in the game are very exiting as there is always a lot going on with barrels exploding, new enemies appearing and helmets and blood flying across the screen.I feel as if this was a great follow up to the previous Wolfenstein games.

Furthermore, the voice acted scenes are done really well and further the story of Wolfenstein.
    Though there are a few things i felt they could have done better:
    1. I found the game was too short for my liking as it only took me around 15 hours to finish (excluding the side mission) and i found the side missions to be boring and useless compared to the main ones where in you feel you are doing something important.
    2. Wolfenstein needs to stop getting caught up in race politics, this is something that really bugged me - it's not the Nazi premise in fact i love that about the game but what bugged me was characteristic by Grace Walker - a black female leader in the game who says "White America gave up" i feel that there is no need for this in a shooting game and it really makes me as a White person feel unwanted even after i bought the special version of the game that was 50 pounds plus.
    3. The devs need to entertain the idea of different play styles more, Wolfenstein offers the idea of just running and gunning everyone or doing it stealthily. Though the stealth option really is not an option. As bots in the game somehow always see or hear you whether you are behind cover and barely moving or not furthermore, it's hard to complete levels without going directly through a horde of Nazi's and thus shooting is a much less excruciating and rather rewarding option.    … Expand

    You don’t buy margarine expecting it to be like butter for the same reason you don’t play Wolfenstein and expect another kind of like COD game.

The reason for this is that Wolfenstein has a reason behind things, story to understand and immerse with, shooting mechanics that feel right and a game that delivers what shooters should be. It’s a game it does not have to be realistic.

    A game such as this does not require you to know a broad back history of some overly buff protagonist and how they joined an academy became a member of an elite squad of killers and went God save the queen all over a couple of Russian terrorists. No, this game has a story you will enjoy, a story that for most of it feels as if it could have actually happened if not to a lesser degree.

    Wolfenstein 2 is a wonderous predecessor to Wolfenstein and for that deserves a medal in its own right. Wolfenstein 2 is one of those games that is not to be forgotten not one you’ll easily forget, Nazis ruling the world you fighting for a better tomorrow all while you listen to Train to Hamburg a record you found while snooping around a well-designed level.

    Now I could go on and on and on about how good this game is or how imaginative it was or the way it’s satisfying for a large hulking Nazi behemoth to explode, but I won’t. Instead I will let you enjoy the game as it is by far one of the best shooters I have played in a long time. You pass this one up you’ll regret it I assure.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great action and shooting controles. The story is great. What kinda ruined it for me was the final boss. The final boss was nothing more then a regular enemy with a bit more armor on, yea not that original. The boss also glitched on me. After the first 5 minutes it just didn't move anymore and because of that I easily won the fight. I also didn't like the mission on planet Venus, the world felt very empty compared to the moon level from a new order. I did however like the city level and the wheelchair level.

The story still feautures Nazi's that somehow all have the personality of the Jesse Eisenberg character in Batman vs. Superman. The inclusion of some really Ridiculous super technology alienates the story and setting from any historic truth, and the Nazi’s who were known for their swift technological advances, brutality, hate and deadly precision have become dumb psychopaths who do stuff to kill their own boredom.

    Already a thing in the first Wolfenstein, this game also has some strange shooting mechanics, mainly the way guns behave. During development, the question should always arise: 'Does this make the game better, more enjoyable?' Clearly this wasn't done for Wolfenstein 2, as guns have an undying attraction to the ceilling. Guns have horrible accuracy and barely hit targets unless you embrace a wrestling match with your weapon. Dual wielding becomes a baby sitting job instead of it being a goofy feauture to have fun.

    I was frustrated with the game within 2 hours, and felt a wave of relieve once i traded it in. I give this game a 6/10, which means it is an average game. However, this is a personal opinion obviously. I can easily understand people giving this game 7's and 8's for what it offers as a FPS single player game.    … 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.
