    This is pathetic SJ pandering. It's barely a Wolfenstein game and rather a looter shooter wannabe. I would not recommend it at all. I spent 8 hours in the game, and I'm done. I just wished I didn't buy the digital version because I would have sold the disk within minutes.

    Nothing like killing Nazis in style. No bugs or game breaking glitches either.

    There is no local co-op, which makes this game essentially useless. Do not buy this game if you were hoping to sit in your living room with a friend & kill nazis, you'll end up having to return it.

    Honestly it's a solid 8 /10 game and co op spinoff done generally well. Giving it 10 to pissoff the angry incels triggered by Alien WahMens.

    Grindy for micro transactions, terrible characters, bad writing, awful AI, broken mechanics. This game is horrendous, stay away and save yourself $60

    So sad about this game... preordered it simply cuz im a fan of the series and now i regret it.
    The game is so cringy with the twin sisters its just embarrassing to listen to them talking.
    Game mechanics are worse than before - stealth is broken to a distinctive level, there are HEALTH BARS over the enemy heads which completely kills the mood in shooting the spongy nazis.

    Game mechanics are worse than before - stealth is broken to a distinctive level, there are HEALTH BARS over the enemy heads which completely kills the mood in shooting the spongy nazis. One of the best things in the main series is the flow when you shoot and kill an enemy. It felt so smooth and soft. Now its like Borderlands or some other type of game which is not cool at all.
    The enemy AI is dumb as hell and that is a major no-no. The sister that helps is somehow not on point with whats happening and feels pretty unnatural roaming around you just doin nothing.
    The simple first person story driven shooter is transformed into a semi RPG with so many unnecessary gun modifications and no story at all...
    Its not what I expected and the SJW Cringe is not helping at all to make me like it even a bit.
    Sorry Machinegames, focus on the next major WS and try to do better pleasing the fans of the series and the new gamers that will jump on the old ones cuz of the new one. Pleasing the feminists is not helping your case in the game industry :    … Expand

    WTF? They turned a FPS game into some RPG hybrid abomination with predatory micro transactions...???!!!! What the HELL were they thinking? There are also a lot of glitches and bugs... avoid this trash game like the plague.

    Short and without spoilers. It's not the same Wolfenstein. Yes, the girls in the lead role spoil the atmosphere of madness. The plot is very primitive, boring and stupid. The weakest part of the game is the co-op mode. Artificial intelligence does stupid things all the time, Terrible networking. This is a real achievement if your friend joins the game. Huge amount of grind

    Good paced shooter. Runs well on PS4 Pro (even in co-op). Story not as strong as in the main titles of the Wolfenstein games, but okay. Is quite a lot of fun with a friend.

    Great co-op game in the Wolfenstein universe. New gameplay mechanic for the franchise that works out very well. AI is very supportive in singleplayer and is not a burden. Story is not the main focus of the game but the characters: Jess and Soph are very sympathetic characters with a lot of humor and quick-wittedness. Yes, there is some grinding in the game but it is not a gamebreaker ifGreat co-op game in the Wolfenstein universe. New gameplay mechanic for the franchise that works out very well.

    Whether or not you enjoy Wolfenstein: Youngblood is going to depend on a lot of factors. If you loved the previous games for their narrative depth, linear story, and simplified gameplay, this might be a tough sell for you. Youngblood is still fundamentally Wolfenstein in almost every way that matters but, like its rookie heroines, it’s a little unpolished and rough around the edges. If you’re looking for something new, innovative, and daring, and can overlook a few flaws (some more glaring than others) then it’s time to suit up, gear up, and once again prove that the only good Nazi is a dead one.

    Even if you only want to do the main missions and enough side-content to level up sufficiently, you’ll get at least ten to 12 hours of play. What’s interesting is the endgame, providing daily and weekly challenges, and allowing you to replay missions for extra XP. Solo this will become tiring, but with a friend? Any excuse to kill Nazis is a good excuse. [Issue#166, p.79]

    At $30, I expected a short but dense Wolfenstein experience with two new protagonists and a tangible narrative thread connecting them to the original games, their father B.J. Blazkowicz. What we got was a horrible imitation of the rest of the series, complete with an absolutely senseless plot, unacceptably bad and annoying characters, and joyless combat. I find that a weak plot can be forgiven if gameplay is flawless and satisfying, and sometimes weaker gameplay can be ignored in favor of an incredible story, but you cannot botch BOTH aspects and expect people to like your game.
