    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

    The story of this game really goes places. The moment to moment gameplay is similar to the previous title The New Order but much more difficult this time around. The dual wielding of all weapons is ridiculous and fun. It's not a very long game but has some optional side content upon completion. Honestly I would take 9 hours of great game over 9 hours of great game stretched over 20 hoursThe story of this game really goes places.

    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.

    What more could you ask for? You get to kill Nazis in style. Solid gameplay, great graphics, and Nazi killing! If you can't afford the game just yet, pass some time watching videos of Nazis getting punched online. And remember, the only good Nazi is a dead one!

    Same problem as with the Doom, a lot of mindless shooting which in this game would be fine if sound of guns isn't dull/weak/suppressed, pubg for example has nice gun sounds.

    The people giving this game a negative review are either KKK members, alt-right, nazis, or closet racists. The game definitely isn't a 10 but it is a good game.

    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]
