    The first reboot was probably my favourite FPS game of the generation. The visceral gunplay was unmatched and the story was awesome. Better than the majority of game stories. This game is even better in every way. Absolutely love this game. Buy it, you won't regret it if you like great gunplay, characters and story. It's like playing a game produced by Quentin Tarantino.

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

Do not rush this game, just wait and listen to what people are talking about. (like a dialogue between Nazi soldier and Ku Klux Klan memebers ) sometimes is very funny. it is surreal experience to walk through american towns with Nazi flags all over it. Nazi soldiers and weapons are really bad ass. I highly recommend this game. Also I understand that this game might not be cap of tea for some but "0" ratings ? really ? A lot of work and effort went to this game. No game deserves "0". It is childish to give this game "0" rating.… Expand

    This is an excellent and addictive shooter, really hard to stop playing once you get started.

Soon we will actually have to do this so it's best to get in practice and desensitize yourself to it now. My main complaint is that the game is rated M for mature but it probably could have been rated E for everyone because you don't actually commit violence against people in the game, you kill Nazis and Nazis aren't people. All the 0 ratings are by sad white supremacists who can't bring themselves to shoot their kkklancestors. Also the game includes a full playable version of Wolfenstein 3D (slightly altered) which is a nice bonus. The game should provide enough entertainment to pass the time until FarCry 5 comes out, another game that the fragile white supremacist fascists who get offended by everything want to ban. They truly hate us and our freedoms. 10/10 game, should be mandatory re-education.… Expand

    And this is just the best Wolfenstein game. And one of the best games ever made.

    The very best white genocide simulator since The Sims.

    Gorgeous, Violent, cathartic and an excellent litmus test to find nazi sympathizers amongst your social circle.

    On a serious note, this game is much more emotional, meditative and thoughtful than I would have ever expected.
    The most relevant game in years.

But I am giving it a 10 to counter all the S**theads who think any of this is about the current political climate. That is why there is a disproportionate number of 0s. Spoiler alert. Every Wolfenstein game since the first on Atari has Nazi bad guys. Literally every one.

I'm kind of in awe that some people are giving this game 0/10 or 1/10 for reasons like too short or no multiplayer, Well first of all for a single player game the story is damn long and has plenty of replay value, with exceptional game play, voice acting and narrative that keeps the story engaging, it's just the same as watching a well made film that gives you enjoyment multiple times over you have a game gives you that exact same feeling although you have many more hours and get to be a part of the action. 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 ****

    A perfect example of what a sequel should. Machine Games took the brilliant New Order and turned into one of the best first person shooters of all time with the New Colossus. The characters, the pacing, the narrative, the music and the unrelenting gameplay, everything about this game oozes with Uber perfection. Easily my Game of The Year.

    Wow, what a difference three years can make. 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. ThreeWow, what a difference three years can make. 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!

    I'll rate it a ten just because it's got people's panties in a knot, when it's coming from the same mindset of Quentin Tarentino's Inglourious Basterds. It's fiction, it's not supposed to have deep subtext and you're stupid if you're looking for something like that. Sorry you're looking for the meaning of life in entertainment.

    Hours into this game and it's shaping up to be an exceptional story in the gaming world. Cleansing and liberating a subjugated U.S. from Nazis are more fun than ever. Now complete with psychedelia!

    Get this if you're into 1st-person shooters, and if you're not into pretending WW2 never happened.

    This is a GREAT game. I have long been a fan of the Wolfenstein Franchise. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus did NOT let me down. The graphics and the gameplay are first class. And another benifit is that it really makes the Neo-Nazis, KKK, and Alt-Right insane. 99% of the low ratings are from them. What's better tham a game where you can kill American Nazis and Members of the KKK ?

    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.
