    Otro excelente shooter basado en una franquicia clásica. En este caso se nos pone en la legendaria piel del capitán Blaskowitz para cazar a uno de los más terribles miembros del ejército nazi; Wilhem ‘Calavera’ Strasse, un médico con rango de general que se dedica a hacer terribles experimentos con seres humanos. Lo curioso es que este imperio nazi no es el mismo que nosotros conocemos. EnOtro excelente shooter basado en una franquicia clásica. En este caso se nos pone en la legendaria piel del capitán Blaskowitz para cazar a uno de los más terribles miembros del ejército nazi; Wilhem ‘Calavera’ Strasse, un médico con rango de general que se dedica a hacer terribles experimentos con seres humanos. Lo curioso es que este imperio nazi no es el mismo que nosotros conocemos. En el universo donde Blaskowitz vive, los alemanes ganaron la guerra, por lo que todo el mundo está bajo el yugo nazi. Así que recorreremos varios niveles, desde Berlín hasta Londres, pasando por el fondo del mar o la Luna, infiltrándonos gracias a las habilidades de sigilo o bien arrasando con todo a golpe de plomo con un arsenal que iremos mejorando conforme a avancemos en la aventura.

    Jugablemente es un FPS de manual, lineal con una historia como hilo conductor. Realizar determinadas acciones hará que nuestras habilidades mejoren y por lo tanto el juego se adaptará a nuestra forma de jugar, es decir, tenemos un árbol de habilidades, pero en este no asignamos puntos a nuestra voluntad. La experiencia la determinan nuestras acciones y ganaremos habilidades a medida que nuestra forma de jugar vaya desbloqueándolas. Este me ha parecido un enfoque muy interesante para el desarrollo del personaje en un juego de estas características. Por lo demás habrá un toque de exploración gracias al cual conseguir diversos coleccionables que nos premiarán con desbloquear distintas funciones, o bien conocer el lore del universo donde estamos ubicados.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order es un juego excelente. Un reboot que merece la pena visitar si eres un aficionado al genero de los disparos en primera persona. Una historia decente, un apartado gráfico muy resultón para el tiempo que tiene y un rendimiento mucho más que aceptable. Pruébalo. No decepciona. Hay segunda parte, voy por ella.

    Honestly the most fun I've ever had in a videogame, only game I have replayed five times and didn't get tired of, the gameplay is fun, the althist scenario also makes me love the game even more as someone who enjoys alternate history. I recommend everyone play this game for themselves.

    My single con: that laser/welding gun can be confusing when is comes to certain puzzles and some levels they are a million charging stations and then other levels zero, so if you have used it as a weapon and then need it for an impasse then you have to sit their and wait for it to recharge.... slowly.
    Overall: a blast to play, especially when it's free from Epic.

Although it hasn’t aged beautifully even for being a cross gen release, I think it could definitely slide towards the 360/PS3 era visually a lot of times. Compared to the much more kinetic sequels, this plays like a more standard FPS. The ugly grey & brown visuals was a phase I wish our society never went through, even if it fits the world Wolfenstein built. It’s easy to look past all of that for the story though! Still hits just as hard years later. Wolfenstein 3 is gonna be a jaw dropping event. Expand

When he finally awakes he determines to end the Nazi threat once and for all...

    Calling a game simple and uncomplicated may seem like an insult but that is not the case when it comes to Wolfenstein: The New Order with the developers setting out, and succeeding, in making a modern day old school shooter. Its not totally without its flaws (some missions involve the usual 'errand boy' nonsense of finding items for people, and the final boss is both dull and far more difficult than anything else that comes before it for example) but for the most part this is an over the top and very entertaining title.

The game performs pretty solid on PS4 (slim) with no issues about slow texture loading or frame rate drop like that were addressed in the previous version. The graphic is good, with obviously Doom-vibe but not exactly the same since the game is a little older. The level design is another thing that make this game pretty entertaining. Each environment poses unique situation which require specific strategies. Also the game will encourage you to explore thus that you could have more ammo and certain weapon upgrade. However, I have mixed opinion about the mechanic of the game. While I really like things like sliding or peaking, things like auto-aimming, weapon switching or how the stealth work out can be really frustrated. It is not incorrect for many to claim that this game is Dark Soul of the FPS since you can die repeatedly in some levels or die from silly things like being blocked by NPC. Auto-aiming is another bad things. It will probably impede you from having a good shot right after the enemies are moving (and unfortunately you cannot disable them from the setting, the only way is to switch the difficultly up so that you are on your own). When all these things mix up together, the gameplay is still acceptable. The story of the game is pretty standard. It's like mixing the ridiculous things with some serious stuffs, which they could never blend together but that's what Wolfenstein is and that's great. Overall it's a good game that you should play once if you are really an FPS type. Expand

    Com uma pegada oldschool e muito sóiida, Wolfenstein: The New Order consegue reviver uma franquia que sofreu de uma crise de identidade a muitos anos. Por mais que a falta de munição e certos aspectos da jogabilidade ''travada'' o tornem datado, é um excelente reboot de uma franquia clássica.

    I was really surprised by this one. And enjoyed it thoroughly despite awful violence and sometimes too-hard-gameplay. That was the first shooter since Half-Life 2 and Portal that mesmerized me with its world. Pros:
    + Killing Nazis is a guilty pleasure that will never grow old. + I was impressed by the dedication of the developers. The characters in the game speak real German and Polish languages. And that creates surreal atmosphere better than anything else. + The main story twist that the game happens in alternative 1960 is amazing. I wasn’t expecting this. And it’s smart writing. + German vinyls with covers of popular American songs. OMG, they were so amazing. + The Resistance consists of colorful characters. So I started to care about them straight away. + The pace of the story is quick. Locations and characters change the moment they get boring. And all the locations are drawn beautifully in the scenes where you enter them and see an overview.
    - Nazi generals are genuinely scary. Cons:
    - The game is too hard at times. Because some enemies are overpowered. At the same time the AI is stupid. So at some point I was killing Nazis from the ventilation because they couldn’t duck to shoot me. - Many things about the main cast of the characters didn’t pay off that much. Like with Max Hass. He’s a nice character. But doesn’t have much to do in the story. - The mission on the Moon was destroyed for me due to the constant necessity to hide and charge my weapons. That was not interesting to play despite the cool setting. - The final boss fight was meh. (As the one with London Monitor too.)
    - In general, it’s a very violent and old school shooter. Also, it has exaggerated simplistic fantasy-like characters. And **** sex sometimes. So it’s much harder to emotionally connect to this game. It’s not Last of Us by any means. More like a wonderfully done violent fan service.

I truly do, not just because it's near perfect in narrative and gameplay design, but also based on the mere fact that they managed it all within the confines of a Wolfenstein reboot, of all things. The gunplay is extremely satisfying, with visual feedback and sound design created by the gods themselves, while also supplying a slight pang of guilt with every downed Nazi, since the exploration sections are littered with letters, newspaper clippings and visual storytelling, depicting these usually straightforwardly evil antagonists as simply fellow humans, caught up in a conflict they did not ask to be involved in. This not only elicits a pretty strong emotion from the player, but it also works as a beautifully organic method of worldbuilding. It's a brave approach to this potentially taboo setting, but it's delivered with such unbelievable confidence that it never comes off as preachy or apologetic to the atrocities orchestrated by your enemies. There may well be innocent casualties in this fight, but there are still some unapologetically evil villains. Deathshead, Frau Engel, and some select unnamed soldiers commit such horrific acts of cruelty and violence, reminding the player that through the somewhat pulpy, B-movie tone, the Nazis are still a very real threat and need to be brought to justice by your hand. This makes killing the higher-up Nazi officers feel all the more satisfying. Your character is weak if caught out in the open, so the game encourages playing cautiously, moving between covers only when you actually can, finding new routes around each arena for the most efficient run possible. Gunplay requires thought, which makes overcoming each encounter feel absolutely brilliant. You really get the sense that you've overcome exceptional odds and it's great every time. Unfortunately, some level-end miniboss fights are often quite easy since the challenge of The New Order tends to originate from dealing with large groups of weak enemies, but I'd take engaging minute-to-minute combat with forgettable boss encounters any day over the reverse alternative. Stealth is incredibly satisfying too, throwing in clever music cues and wonderful gun sound. While the silenced pistol probably has entirely overpowered range and firing from the hip often bizarrely means greater accuracy, the pros definitely outweigh the cons here.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a game that shouldn't exist. It's a reboot of an old FPS franchise that only really had to be an extremely well-made but mindless arena shoot-em-up like its 2016 brother Doom. However, MachineGames did what nobody asked for and went the extra mile, setting the bar for exceptional world building and gunplay design, and I absolutely thank them for that. They took this comically goofy premise of a WW2 shooter where you fight MechaHitler, and transformed it into a profound, introspective study of the traditionally heroic video game tough guy protagonist. BJ Blazkovics remains my favourite FPS protag in gaming history, and I'm excited to see how they continue developing him in the next instalment of this wonderful franchise.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a game I simply had to return to when I heard about it's sequel, The New Colossus. Giving it a second chance proved to be a good decision as I rediscovered what drew me to it in the first place: It's lack of conventional design in terms of story and gameplay.

    While not a completely perfect game, the story is the big drawcard here - being both well written

    While not a completely perfect game, the story is the big drawcard here - being both well written and compelling, containing elements that explore mature themes which ultimately give the characters depth and nuance that is rarely seen in the genre.

    Because of what The New Order has achieved with it's story and gameplay, I have chosen to continue my journey with this reboot-sequel series of the game that helped pioneer the FPS genre.

    I heard that this game had an amazing story and no multiplayer.
    The only other time I was obsessed with a FPS was with the Resistance series on PS3

    This game is now my new obsession. HOLLY **** SH#%!

    First, the story is great. Extremely adult, sensitive topics were dealt with great, and they really make you wanna kill these Nazi sons of Bit@#$ %! I did not expect the story to be so well done and for me to be so engrossed. The music is great, the graphics are amazing for the year this came out on, and I cant wait for more.

    During the beginning of the game you have to make a big choice, and that choice stayed with me the whole game (did i make the right decision) which begs for an extra play through. The game reminded me a bit of bioshock in how it's narrative was played out in first person.

    AlsoI've never played a game that makes each shot feel as impactful as it was in this game. Not since Killzone 2 have I seen enemies react so realistic.

    Things I would improve on:

    Sometimes the game can be too hard. I played on Normal, and sometimes there were parts where I COULD NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME GET PAST so I had to temporarily change the difficulty.. but besides this the game is amazing, I actually played the DLC (I rarely do this) and Im happy I did.

    Don't buy the DLC unless you reallllly want more or are a huge fan or if you find it on sale as it's only about 6-7 hours in length. It's still a really good prequel to set up events for the main game (and it has some easter eggs if you played the new order first) but if you wanna skip it you won't miss much.

    BUY THIS GAME AND SUPPORT LINEAR SINGLE PLAYER GAMES!! :D

    Can't wait to pick up number 2 soon !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wolfenstein: The New Order is a fantastic return to the world of B.J. Blaskowicz and his Nazi killing crusade. The story is outstanding and has a surprising amount of emotional depth. As it should be, the gunplay is visceral and satisfying, and has a flawed but overall decent stealth system. The alternate-history Nazi Europe is incredibly interesting, and while the game does have its silly moments(mission on the Moon), it still feels relatively grounded and accurate to the 1960s setting. The music, composed by the very talented Mick Gordon, is raw, brutal and energetic, combining synths, guitars and loud percussion. My only complaint would be the length of the story. While by no means a short game(15-20 hrs), I wouldn't recommend this game at full price, but for $40 or under, this is a fantastic experience that never lets up. Expand

With the sequel literally hours away, and the type of hype it has to make me choose playing that over the newest Mario game and the newest Assassin's Creed game, really speaks to the quality of single-player, story driven shooters that Bethesda can provide. Yes they do provide the occasional miss from time to time but I'm supremely confident that Machine Games came deliver yet another hit for a series for them that we never knew could be this good in the modern age. B.J. certainly has aged well and, from the looks of things, he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Definitely buy and play through this game first before the sequel however. You will know within seconds whether you'll like the sequel or not by playing this one. Expand

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a great, story-driven, action FPS game. I am not even an FPS games fan to begin with, but I loved this.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order takes place in an alternate history setting where Nazi Germany won WW2 thanks to some fantastical new weapons and rule the world. Series protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz is given some actual character development, maybe for the first time in the series history, and he joins the resistance to liberate the world from the Nazis.

    Gameplay is just about shooting Nazis but stealth also plays a big role, unlike 2016's Doom for example. Don't mindlessly run and gun in this game, especially in the higher difficulty levels. There are some perks to get, which are upgrades for B.J. after you meet some criteria like killing X number of enemies with Y gun. Of course nothing can beat the sense of dual wielding weapons to obliterate Nazis and their robotic creations.

    However not everything is perfect. There are plenty of wonky difficulty spikes involving enemy wave spawns and bullet sponges. The few boss fights in the game (especially those towards the end of the game) are really badly designed and cheap, with no clarity as to what you are supposed to do to deal with them. You can though exploit the bad design and beat these bosses easily or take advantage of glitches. Lastly, for all the Nazi talk in the game's lore, Hitler is nowhere to be seen. Strange.

    Graphics are nice but too gritty for my tastes. 60 fps on PS4 is locked at all times. Voice overs are nice if not great. Soundtrack is OK.

    There is even some delightful fan service where B.J. plays in the original Wolfenstein 3D game's level during a nightmare. Awesome!

    All in all, Wolfenstein: The New Order is a great game. I have been hyped for both the prequel expansion (The Old Blood) and the sequel The New Colossus.

    Without spoiling the story, you play as us special forces operative captain blazkowicz, who’s been out of it for 14 years to learn its 1960 and the us lost
    And you set out to rescue your squad and of course take down some Nazis…
    The New Order is probably one of the most intriguing first person shooters I’ve played through…
    not only thanks to the story of living through alternate history.. But because of how your characters story is told, there’s revenge, love, everything… your journey feels personal instead of generic...
    You’re not some forgettable throwaway soldier like you get in most every other first person shooter campaign
    And because of this this campaign immerses you deep inside of its world…
    This isn’t your typical run and gun campaign..
    There’s tons of variety here, missions will have you scaling buildings for targets... going in with stealth, infiltration, and undercover missions…
    You never know what the game is going to throw at you keeping the campaign feeling fresh…
    There are a variety of weapons and enemies to deal with, and the game mixes things up with a laser gun you get to cut through chain and metal in the game, giving you alternate routes inside of rooms and again stopping this game from just feeling constantly run and gun… you’re not forced to shoot here most of the time, as you can just go in missions with stealth taking out everyone from behind…
    but if you do choose to shoot there are plenty of weapon choices and the ability to dual wield guns..
    Enemies drop plenty of ammo... but eventually your laser gun is upgraded and able to shoot with unlimited ammo, though it has to be recharged so you’re not waiting for it to recharge on its own at a painfully slow rate after every couple of shots…
    Combat can feel challenging if you’re not the stealthy type... especially thanks to the scouts that will call for back up if you don’t take them out before you start shooting...
    You do have health that will regenerate slightly... but there are health packs and armor around which seem in abundance at the beginning... but towards the end you’ll be begging for them...
    Mission structure all for the most part feels the same.. You’re given a map which rarely helps... I found myself just stumbling around the map until I found the item I was supposed to interact with...
    Not the greatest natural progression... but I only felt lost a few times throughout my journey to the end..
    I was having a lot of fun with this game thanks to its story and level design... however for me the 2nd half of this game really starts to feel a bit generic and I was ready for this game to be over hours before the final showdown…
    While I do feel the final stretch of the new order is a drag, load times are painfully slow, and the occasional lock picking in this game is the worst and most annoying lock picking in video game history
    The New Order offers a really unique experience worth picking up and seeing out through to its end

    Game Play: the array of futuristic twists on era-appropriate weaponry are impressive. the controls are simple to pick up and will not cause you to accidentally press something you didn't mean to. the shooting is accurate and clean, and enjoyment to play it was similar to a nice -controlling shooter game. Wolfenstein TNO has a many hours of play ( about 8+ hours of play) with it still remaining fresh and not burning out half way through the story and has many collectible and challenges that help extend the play time. Wolfenstein TNO also has awesome replay value.

    Sound: the music keeps the intensity and ambiance going with a nice selection of heavy rock songs and slow mellowed tones during various parts of the mission. the weapon sound and auxiliary sound effects are clear, alerting, detailed and beneficial.

    Graphics: although they aren't incredibility stunning, they are superb and the strength of the ps4 , the accent the shading and variety cf colors are a nice change form the the original palette of the 90's era games.

    Overall: Wolfenstien TNO is a fantastic continuation of the reboot and a excellent addition to the FPS genre and a revitalizing take on a often abused genre. It is a classic in the making and still holds strong to this day. If you are a fan of the series or just looking a FPS to play and pass the time, you will not regret it. 9/10

    I have spent a long time just trying to replay, write, re write, all just so I can make a review no one will read. I was very close to just giving up on this, but instead I sucked it up and did it anyways. So, Wolfenstein the New Order the game so many people call a return to old school fps games. I will admit this game is pretty badass for a modern shooter, but I would never call this game a old school fps.

    Don't get me wrong I love most of Wolfenstein the New Order, I put it up there with Metro and Titanfall on my favorite modern fps games. There is a very key word I used there, most I like most of New Order. In terms of individual level quality some are the best in modern gaming, while others can go burn in a fire. I love the mission where you sneak into a maximum security prison to break people out. Then only for it to cock up and you shoot your way out blasting akimbo machine guns at Nazi’s. Meanwhile, you have a mission where you're slowly moving across a bridge getting sniped from enemies with automatic hitscan weapons.

    The difficulty curve in general seems wonky, some segments in a level will just kick my ass while other segments I just dominate through. New Order also has a bad habit of taking your guns away. For example, There’s a mission where you have to find torpedos and hide yourself in them. So why would the game take my assault rifles, one shotgun, grenades, and one pistol. It wasn't to try and balance the rest of the level, because it gives you another assault rifle five seconds later. I think it was to try and immerse me in the game, if so it kinda had the opposite effect. Even then New Orders gun play is good enough to get me immersed, especially with how satisfying they are to use.

    Almost every gun in the game can be akimbo, making some sections fast paced kill everyone on sight fun. To bad those sections are few and far between. A Lot of the time you’ll just be picking of Nazi’s from far away behind cover. They had so much potential with the akimbo mechanic’s it's kinda sad to see them be replaced with boring cover and stealth mechanics half the time. I don't understand why Machine Games had all of these other mechanics just piled on, It just makes the gameplay an unfocused mess. Especially when the stealth mechanics are the bare minimum required to be called stealth.

    For example, good stealth mechanics give you a clear understanding of when you're visible or not. Wolfenstein's mechanics make it so that no matter what lighting you're in enemies can spot you from any distance. This makes stealth sections really boring and frustrating because the only way to succeed is by silenced pistol, or by following your enemies slowly so you can stab them from behind.

    At least the cover mechanics are actually pretty good. You can hide behind walls chest high or taller, go prone if you like but it's kinda **** Most forms of cover won't last long because of how much automatic fire you’ll be under. So at least there’s that to keep the flow going. The three types of combat don’t flow right together, all three of them could have carried a game on their own with some tweaking.

    I mean the story itself was enough to carry me through the entire game. I honestly recommend this game for the story alone. No it’s not the best story in gaming, but it's told super well. Now, I did cry while playing this but don’t take this as an extremely sad game, I am just a little **** The story begins with this really nice intro level that does everything a intro level should. It introduces the villains and gets us to hate them in seconds. While simultaneously making the heroes likeable underdogs.

    The story just progresses to so much more it really is truly amazing. I would usually go on for hours about this kind of then, but honestly just go play it yourself. It's cheap on disk, while it can be somewhat pricey on downloaded if you see it on sale get it. Now I am Ziah Phillips and stay safe yall.

The main character, William 'BJ' Blazkowicz could have been a stereotypical nazi-killing action hero stereotype. Instead, he is a combination of the Allies' rage during WWII. He is complex and displays his emotion readily, unlike many of his other video game action hero counterparts.

    The gameplay is as varied as the story and characters, with stealth sections (if you choose) and outright gun fights. It can be difficult when it needs to be. I would certainly call Wolfenstein a success.

    Wolfenstein has been reborn. The reincarnation took Studio MachineGames, which is made up of people from Starbreeze studios, who did a great action scene in which a character has always been disclosed, the player could feel him, and always had a good story. Wolfenstein: The New Order, they have not changed yourself! They made an idol William Blaskowitz character! And it's not just the character, and personality, which even empathize. He as well voiced; the actor dubbing almost always speaks in a whisper, what makes the character closer to the player. Besides the main character we'll be a resistance headquarters, which is filled with characters. At first they seem to be just furniture to fill the space, but eventually all the characters will be revealed and you to bind him. The headquarters of the resistance will be your home to which you'll return after the task. You'll chat with your companions, it is better to know and get around the headquarters, which from time to time will change. If you sleep on the bed, even you can play a level from the original Wolfenstein is a great game (which in the game is not enough). Also I can not mention great music! The music in the game is simply gorgeous and gives the picture and gameplay richness.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is not a game in the open world, but the developers create the feeling that you are not just at the locations of the next mission, and at a certain part of the world. World, which was seized by the Nazis. Writers have written an alternative history and was even recorded alternate covers of famous bands! Notes interesting to read, and don't pass it by! They are immersed in the alternate world, and you realize that this is a deep game, it's a real thought out story with his world.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a shooter. Without a great shuternoy mechanics to play wouldn't be interesting even with a good plot. Developers here do not disappoint! Shoot fun! Run around and shoot Nazis with two hands! Buzz! Health itself is not restored, so you have to look for kits (you can even gain health above 100%, but it will very quickly drop to 100). Besides health, we also do replenish armor - just like in the good old days. The game also has stealth and a high level of complexity will have to resort to it often. But in this game it's best to set a medium level of complexity and fun to shoot Nazis.

    I strongly recommend Wolfenstein: The New Order! Few people makes the shooter a real adventure with a memorable story and characters.

    As for the shooting, Wolfenstein plays towards it's more classic roots, but keeping movement simple and exploration compartmentalized. Which may seem like a bad thing, it's not. In fact it works really well and keeps firefights tight and tense, when sh*t gets bad. Movement runs at 60 frames and is smooth as butter. With the only drawback being the stealth gameplay, which can make things too easy if you are really good at sneaking.

    The ONLY other drawback is that THERE IS NO CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN. BUT that is Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is for, which makes Castle Wolfenstein its centerpiece!!

The story follows the life of a rebel called Blazkowicz, who fights back against Nazi oppression and works among other rebels to help take down the regime. The gameplay is thrilling, it keeps you on your toes and challenges you at each stage - there have been a few times when I've had to replay the same part to get past some pretty tricky mob & boss battles, but I like a challenge. Overall, the game has been very enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good FPS. Expand

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a gem of a game, though one baked in nostalgia. Its run-and-gun, cover-is-for-the-weak, blow-everything-to-hell Nazi party is a welcome reprise from the hum-drum shooter affair plaguing the genre since the rise of the blue-grey, Whitcoulls-gift-voucher-for-X-mas FPS.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a gem of a game, though one baked in nostalgia. Its run-and-gun, cover-is-for-the-weak, blow-everything-to-hell Nazi party is a welcome reprise from the hum-drum shooter affair plaguing the genre since the rise of the blue-grey, Whitcoulls-gift-voucher-for-X-mas FPS.

    The Nazis have won, the future belongs to enormous Swastikas, mass culling of all nationalities (no discrimination here) and overall despair. Lovingly crafted by Machine Games, Wolfy New Order sees BJ Blaskowitz – full-time Nazi fun extinguisher – back in action. Though bloody and bombastic, this newest iteration on the series paints a far more detailed picture than expected, eliciting some oddly tender moments from our meaty hero and comrades.

    The true charm of Wolfy lies in its older, more tactile mechanics. Similar to elder games of a the same ilk, retrieving items (health, armour, ammo and weapons) doesn’t require a simple stroll over or near supplies, but the single tap of a button. This does make for some high-intensity spamming but you can’t help but be transported back to a time before collision detection was perfected and the retrieving of med kits was deemed a wholly manual affair. Lovely.

    However, with an older formula does come outdated ideas and things that have since evolved for good reason. Particularly evident in this regard is Wolfenstein’s choice of manually-triggered cutscenes. Well-polished, sure, but the sudden and self-inflicted snaps from gameplay to movie can impede on pacing, especially when a heated run-in with a Panzerhund – the SS’ very own nightmarish take on Astro from the Jetsons – morphs into an emotionally-charged chat with a colleague amongst bloody wreckage. Not a complete showstopper but its choices like these that really does have the once labyrinthine, granddaddy of shooters showing its age.

    Old Blood expansion aside, there’s no doubt that Wolfenstein: The New Order deserves a sequel. Its reckless disregard for the methodical, plodding shooters of late brings with it a celebration of extravagant stabbing and the simple joys of moving through a level, blowing some **** up. This attitude coupled with an oddly thoughtful narrative makes new Wolfenstein an excellent package and a welcome return to the past.

I played on the highest difficulty setting Uber and there were some frustrating bottlenecks that threw seemingly endless waves of enemies at me with scant resources to deal with them. I wish every game had the same collectible system as Wolfenstein. Pickup the collectible and it's yours, no need to hit the next check-point! Other reviews complaining about length must have played the game on a lower difficulty setting as I found the game to be just the right length for the challenge provided. I highly recommend Wolfenstein: The New Order! Expand

    Wolfenstein: The New Order accomplishes what many retro games fail to do, which is successfully take a retro game franchise and bring it into the modern age while simultaneously including what made the original game so iconic. While it keeps certain elements like dual wielding nearly every gun in the game, limited health, armor, and even killing dogs with knives, it also adds the classicWolfenstein: The New Order accomplishes what many retro games fail to do, which is successfully take a retro game franchise and bring it into the modern age while simultaneously including what made the original game so iconic. While it keeps certain elements like dual wielding nearly every gun in the game, limited health, armor, and even killing dogs with knives, it also adds the classic Call of Duty style of gunplay, successfully making the game modern with retro elements thrown in where they’re needed to help make the game feel special. Surely, if you’re a fan of old school shooters, Wolfenstein, or if you’re just looking for something slightly different in the FPS space, the New Order won’t let you down.

    The story starts with your character William "B.J." Blazkowicz, a soldier in World War II participating in a raid against Nazi forces who have been successful in their experiments and have created new technologies that put them leagues ahead of the rest of the world, with giant robots and power armor to show for it. Blazkowicz is injured in an explosion, putting him into a vegetative state for nearly 14 years and wakes up to learn that Nazi Germany has conquered the world. Not content to lay down his arms, Blazkowicz is determined to find the resistance movement and help them take back the world from the Nazi Reign.

    While the story manages to stay strong from beginning to end, it’s not without its weak points. The biggest flaw in the story – the first problem you’ll notice with the New Order – is in the main character. Blazkowicz lacks any real type of personality, with his only characteristics being his whispery, gruff voice and his seemingly indestructible nature. Now, in a game filled to the brim with Nazi robots and robot dogs, Wolfenstein's story is bound to have its fair share of ridiculous moments, but the crap Blazkowicz actually manages to survive ends up pushing those boundaries pretty far. Adding onto how he manages to come out of a coma without aging a day, keeping all of his muscle mass and regaining complete control of his body within a few seconds, Blazkowicz manages to survive multiple stabbings, direct explosions, and various other events that really make him hard to take seriously. If the intention was for Blazkowicz’s supposed invincibility to come off as a way to parody modern shooters, it feels out of place in a story with such a serious tone. Aside from Blazkowicz himself and a few other weak points, Wolfenstein’s story line and characters manage to come out really well realized, and the story is strong enough to keep you invested until its end.

    As for the gameplay, the New Order does a great job of incorporating old school elements with modern shooting mechanics. Along with a health and armor bar that cap off at 100, a weapon wheel allowing you to carry every weapon in the game, as well as the ability to dual wield nearly every gun, the game also has the superb shooting mechanics of Call of Duty, along with both a cover system and a peek ability, allowing for shooting that feels more fleshed out than the franchises it borrows from. The game even has some stealth sections, which are fun, even though they can feel tacked on at certain instances.

    Overall, the gameplay is superb. Gunplay feels satisfying, and the unique throwback elements piled into its gameplay manage to make Wolfenstein: The New Order pull ahead of its competition. Plus, with some really well designed boss fights, open ended levels filled with collectibles and upgrades, and the brutality expected from a Wolfenstein game, Machine games has truly revitalized the Wolfenstein franchise. In conclusion, I’m looking forward to what is next up for this franchise. If you're a fan of shooters, or old school games, you owe it to yourself to try this game.

    A triumph of a game but not overwhelmingly so. There are just enough slivers of not good gameplay elements that prevent Wolfenstein from being perfect. Yet near perfect is better than most of the dull shooters this console generation. Give this game a chance.

    Let's start out on a good note and explain why this game is at least an 8 out of 10. The game is gorgeous. The design and use of colors is brilliant. You'd think fighting black clad Nazis in across a grey concrete city would be visually unappealing. Maybe it would except the developers make excellent use of color form the red lights of enemy robots, to the orange glow of firearms, and the innate color of the many, many objects that fill in the world with unbelievable detail. NPCs in the game are also quite colorful, not only in hue but also in personality. Set pieces rival and perhaps surpass anything from Call of Duty. (Moving vertically through a wrecked train was my personal favorite.) The cutscenes and interactive (non-shooting) portions of the game are also well done. Don't let the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions fool you; the PS4 version looks like a true current gen title.

    The story is also well done. What could have been a bleak and hopeless alternative timeline of worldwide Nazi domination is instead a story of hope against impossible odds. The story is not perfect, and we see several tropes including the player character often falling unconscious and suffering capture and torture by the enemy. Seriously, I have no greater pet peeve than seeing the player character defeated by a scripted event and then humiliated in an unplayable cut scene. Fortunately, the story brings in some very bizarre and curious sci-fi elements such as secret Jewish science and moon bases. The game is worth playing for the story alone.

    Now let's get negative and discuss those 2 points that should have made Wolfenstein a perfect 10. The health and armor mechanics in Wolfenstein are a purposefully archaic throwback to the original 1992 release of Wolfenstein 3D. As a concession to modern gaming, your health will regenerate up to 20%. Otherwise, the only way to prevent death is to constantly pick up armor and health packs in the environment. The problem with this old fashioned scheme is that the player never feels emboldened to progress forward until they have scoured every nook and cranny of the environment for every health and armor pick-up. To keep the player moving, the game world has to present copious amounts of health and armor pickups at predetermined checkpoints. You know a boss battle is coming if a hallway is filled with armor. Considering a second playthrough, I audibly grown at the prospect of having to search every level again for health and armor. As someone who played the original Wolfenstein in 1992, and then played through the evolution of first person shooters, including the groundbreaking Halo series, I would rather ditch the nostalgia and move the genre forward.

    The gun play in the game is solid if not limited by the lack of scopes on most of the weapons. The game really wants you to play it as a corridor shooter, where shotguns and hip fire reign supreme. However, most of the beautiful set pieces are best played using guns to their full advantage, i.e. shooting enemies at a distance. The tendency of enemies to come from all directions also favors cover and shoot style gameplay, and I was a little disappointed by how effective I could be crouching behind one doorway and obliterating dozens of Nazis. I do give the game credit for not spamming grenades at the player. Games that encourage use of cover are disingenuous when they have every enemies lob grenades every time you crouch behind a crate.

    The gunplay in destiny is further denigrated by the accuracy of enemies. You will take damage if you are out in the open. You will take damage if you pop your head out of cover. You will take damage in a full sprint jumping off ledges and dodging behind cover. One of my big complaints of Half-Life 2 was the spamming of automatic fire by enemies. While you were supposed to cleverly manipulate objects with your gravity gun, a half dozen drones were shooting you dead with hundreds of bullets. Half-Life 2 was released over 10 years ago and since then, modern games have done better. Smarter a.i. that will lose track of the player and even better, miss the player every now and then. The spray and play happy a.i. exacerbates the archaic health and armor pickups and lack of scoped weapons.

    If Wolfenstein: The New Order ever receives a sequel, they should move the gameplay into the modern times and make the 1992 health and armor system an optional way to play.

    The story is not inherently bad, it shows you a lot of interesting experiments and huge Nazi aeronautical Museums which really set up a theme for the game. It also nails the feel of 'Undercover Resistance''. Unfortunately the story is not anything amazing as the plot is not very personal and ends at 'stop the nazis' whilst this is a staple for a wolfenstein game , it just feels weak. It's worth noting however that they do a great job of making B.J Blazkowitz seem more like a human with a personality.

    The gameplay is the meat of the sandwich and feels great, weapons are comically big and there is a wide variety of them. The combat is gorey and feels fantastic, other first person shooters have a lot to learn from this game. There is also another playstyle if you don't want to go in gunsblazing , there is a commander system which incentivizes you to stealth in and kill them first before attacking the rest.

    It's a great game and has great graphics great sound, However with a weak plot and somewhat repetitive gameplay, I feel it's an 8/10.

    Good game, although it's pretty hard and the PS4 is missing the ability to turn off bob/sway when you walk which is making a lot of people sick due to motion sickness. I would give this game a higher score but they've neglected to add in enough options for people on PS4. PC players should have no trouble turning it off.

Maybe I shouldnt play both games side by side cos it just spoils Wolfenstein for me. Will prob try Wolfie again a few months down the road, this time without Destiny, maybe an RPG or something.

    On the upside, Wolfie had interesting characters, and a cool alternate history story, Shame the gunplay put me off continuing with the story. I played up till Chapter 6 on difficulty above normal. Stealth part completed, then got swamped with a bunch of enemies, and had to restart over and over again, repeating the stealth parts again.

    The weapon wheel is so frustrating as when i ran out of ammo during a gunfight or have to switch to a shotgun for close up fights and i press the alternate weapon button(triangle), it gives me a useless pistol or whatever weapon that was automapped. so i still had to use the clumsy weapon wheel mid-battle to switch and OMG is that frustrating.

    So in short, potentially good FPS for me but gunplay broke the game for me, all due to Destiny's superior mechanics.

    Edit: Just finished the game. For some reason, the game grew on me with its fantastic characters, themes, dialogue, story and narrative. It was powerful enough for me to ignore the poor aspects of the game's mechanics and power on through. I stopped comparing it to Destiny so that helped. Despite having a cliche Nazi story, this game really is a beautiful journey about love and sacrifice. I felt oddly sad when it ended cos half the time i was screaming at the horrible controls and frustrating gameplay but, kudos to the writers, they got me! Will be playing The Old Blood now, and MachineGames have turned me into a fan, well done! Advice to those not so good with FPS like me, play on easy or normal, that should make the game less frustrating.

    We would have preferred a greater freedom of action for the levels, rather than the linear and driven that we've found, but they are trifles for a title that deserves to be played at least once.
