    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.

    Very good FPS game with a great campaign and some really pulse pounding moments. The story is fun in a very uncomplicated way but perhaps a bit overrated with the way folks talk about it. Still great game with many very memorable set pieces and shooting galleries.

    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.

    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.

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!

    Wolfenstein: The New Order - Review

    WTNO is a decent FPS. It does a fair job at creating a unique atmosphere thanks to the concept of what life would be in case of a German-won WW2. Some sequences of the game are really good. My favorite is the mission where you have to infiltrate and live in a 1960s nazi concentration camp. The combination of the horror we already know with the effects of an alternate future is really bizarre, intriguing and interesting.

    That previous example perfectly defines what I like about this game. Those parts where the point of the game doesn’t actually only consist of killing stronger and stronger enemies. And unfortunately, for the biggest part, that’s what Wolfenstein The New Order is about. Especially for the last 3-4 chapters, all you do is fighting always more and stronger enemies, but the level design is stale and uninteresting.

    Technically, the game is correct for its age. Not many bugs, everything works as intended. Visually though, it got very old already and I think that even for its time, it was not a reference in terms of textures and visual effects. Same applies for the sound quality, you are miles away from what a AAA FPS has to offer. Directional/surround sounds are often poorly executed and misleading.

    In terms of gameplay and content, the game is not that rich either, there are not that many weapons and their handling feels cheap. The game is not very long but considered the limited variety it contains, that is a good thing.

    Wolfenstein The New Order attracted me for its setting, its context, and for that I wasn’t disappointed, and sometimes even positively surprised. But for the rest, the game is too fade and doesn’t compete with other better FPSs (even if a good FPS is not that easy to find anymore).

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.

    Played The New Order around the time it released and played it on PS4. Had a blast with the game. Old-School feel FPS with satisfying gunplay and a good challenge without being too challenging. The Platinum Trophy was straight forward enough to achieve too.

    I actually wasn’t entirely sure what to expect out of this going into it. The “Wolfenstein” series is one that I’ve heard good things about, but otherwise never really paid all that much attention to (a quote I can probably use when describing most of Bethesda’s other games as well). And admittedly, even in the largely lackluster year for gaming that was 2014, “Wolfenstein: The New Order”I actually wasn’t entirely sure what to expect out of this going into it. The “Wolfenstein” series is one that I’ve heard good things about, but otherwise never really paid all that much attention to (a quote I can probably use when describing most of Bethesda’s other games as well). And admittedly, even in the largely lackluster year for gaming that was 2014, “Wolfenstein: The New Order” was a game that kinda slipped by the cracks for me: I think I’d remembered hearing that the game was just “fine” when it first came out then, and though I’ve heard a few people say that it’s aged nicely, I can say after finally playing the game 5 years later that “fine” is pretty much the best descriptor for the game.
    There are a lot of things to love about “Wolfenstein: The New Order” right off the bat: graphically, while some of the models in the game do kind of show their age, the visuals are nevertheless detailed and pretty great. I love how well the game captures the look and feel of a 1960s, WWII shooter, and many of the levels are designed in a way that begs for exploration. The game also really shines in its writing, what with the interesting alternate history concept and the Axis winning the war, along with the many memorable characters. Naturally, Blazkowicz is the real highlight here, and what I can really commend this game on is that Blazkowicz feels like a really deep and layered character. I’ve heard a lot about how Blazkowicz was previously just a character merely bent on winning for America, but now, he actually has more emotional depth and he feels like a more sympathetic character. I also really enjoy much of the gameplay: beyond the strong gunplay and interesting dual-wielding, I really love how the game utilizes its stealth elements, to the point where it’s not afraid to slow things down from other shooters and emphasize strategy more than mindless killing.
    So, honestly, for much of the game I was really loving my experience, and I thought this game had the potential to be one of the better shooters that I’ve played. But, unfortunately, at about the last third, this game almost completely drags its way to the finish and flames out. The level design becomes less interesting and more frustrating to deal with at time, the difficulty spike can often be way too large, even if you’re like me and you played the game on a lower difficulty setting, and the boss battles in the game are mostly pretty bad. I don’t know if it’s because they didn’t know how to make compelling boss fights, but fighting them just feels really dull, clunky and just not all that captivating.
    All in all, though, while “Wolfenstein: The New Order” may not be the top-of-the-line FPS I was hoping it would be in the early stages of it, and is certainly rough around the edges, this is a nicely-made, all-around fine shooter while it lasts. It won’t stand the test of time or forever be remembered as an all-time classic in the realm of gaming, but given the tumultuous period it seemed the series was going through prior to this game’s release, this was probably better than it had the right to be.

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.

    The graphics and lighting are a improvement over the 360 version, but this game still doesn't look to great. It has a last gen remastered look to it. Technically the game seems fine runs and plays well. Some games just don't need the movie-esque touch and run and gun Wolfenstein used to be one of them. However not any more, oh well.

    It is not a bad game it just isn't Wolfenstein for it's era.. The ending was was a total unsatisfying anticlimax. Calling next level BS on that ending to just get you to buy the next game for a hopeful conclusion. Pass on a replay, pass on the sequel, pass on Wolfenstien IP. I am so done with this BS.

    The console version is bad on so many levels that I rage-quit in 4th mission (Eisenwald). Not only the checkpoints are extremly stupid and put you so much in history that you will soon attain hystery, but it is obvious that the creators didn't put much effort in tweaking the game for gamepads.
    Unlike the heavenly feel of having the game under YOUR control in DOOM, you won't fight enemies here. You will fight the controls.

    Layout cannot be much customized. If you played DOOM first, you will be raging. If you expect any help in aiming, you will be disappointed. And when the game makes a glitch that during gunfire you will suddenly look behind and get shot in the back, you will delete that game. Especially when you find out the closest checkpoint is 5 minutes back.

    Graphics. Prepare for being distracted by aliasing. And awful textures. And unequal lighting. And texture popping-in (if you don't have SSD or at least hybrid I switched to).

    Sound. It will distract you as well. Music cannot be lowered so you could hear what's happening in your vicinity, like someone talking etc. Reaching checkpoint would always scare me as I thought something important happened.

    AI. Unfair. They killed me through the walls. They spotted me behind their back. Peeking is useless. On medium difficulty. The game doesn't slow or pause on weapon selection (circle system, which is not well-crafted for TVs where nothing is clearly visible BTW).

    I've finished many FPSs on PS4. This is the worst so far.
    Maybe on PC I'll be allowed to enjoy it, but not on console. Bad port.

    however, the narrative seems great, even if I can't actually finish it. the protagonist is unique, as he is characterised by resilience, and can dual wield what every other game would consider a two handed weapon. the supporting cast is also great, and the villains strike a great balance between realistic and cartoony.

    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.

    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

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.

    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.

    Hell of a game! Buyed it now in ps4 sale - and loving the gun- and gameplay. Even aiming is superb with the controller. Story is wolfenstein-alike a bit crazy, but really cool inscinated. Rushed it in 2 days and about ~11 hours playtime, full packed with action and emotions.

    A Rollercoaster of Emotions
    Wolfenstein the New Order is a 9 and a half hour long first person shooter set in an alternate reality where the Nazis won in world war 2
    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

    Wolfenstein: the new order

    Story: The alternate time-line of how Germany won WW2 and how the Nazis took of the world is really interesting and entertaining. Playing as William "B.J." Blazkowicz, the new leader of the Resistance, he works with a rag-tag group of resistance members to rescue the world from oppression of the Nazis. he makes a great protagonist in the story and keeps the intensity and atmosphere aliveStory: The alternate time-line of how Germany won WW2 and how the Nazis took of the world is really interesting and entertaining. Playing as William "B.J." Blazkowicz, the new leader of the Resistance, he works with a rag-tag group of resistance members to rescue the world from oppression of the Nazis. he makes a great protagonist in the story and keeps the intensity and atmosphere alive with his noir- esque storytelling and pacing.

    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

    MachineGames haven’t exactly reinvented the FPS or even Wolfenstein here, but they have put together a consistently enjoyable, well-crafted action game and given you the motivation to blast your way through its stringier bits. If this is the New Order for Wolfenstein, then this is a promising start.

    Thanks to the quality in both concept and function, this is one of the finest first-person-shooters I've ever played, and the best iteration of one of gaming's most storied franchises.

    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.
