    No way this game should fall below the 85% mark. It's an excellent port that keeps the experience intact. Panic Button did an amazing job as usual, maximizing the capacity of the Switch for a perfect handheld experience. If you want crisper graphics, play the other versions, but on the switch screen the game is just perfect!

    Another great job by Panic Button. This is not the best looking version of the game, but that is to be expected and who cares. The Switch version gives you the ability to blast Nazis anywhere! If you enjoyed DOOM, you will enjoy Wolf 2. Another visually demanding game has been squeezed into the tiny Switch, it controls well and provides more play options than any other version available.Another great job by Panic Button.

    Wolfenstein 2 excels at story, gameplay, and Panic Button have out done themselves with this port. The only thing it's missing is a co-op horde survival mode. Keep exaggerating the resolution to justify your favorite platform not supporting mobile play. It always gives me a good moral boost.

    Wolfenstein 2 on the switch is a fun game. Sadly the fun doesn't last for long because the campaign is surprisingly short. You cant replay the entire campaign after you finished the campaign with all the upgrades you haved unlocked. This is for story reasons but its still disappointing.

Also, the hub level on the submarine is fun until you finish the campaign because all the interesting main characters disappear for story reasons. I wish that they maybe had it that now and them the character would return. The graphics are pretty good but still not good as the graphics compared to the ps4 or xbox1, but that's okay. It still is a great looking game. Overall I had fun with the game but I feel the replay value is small. I wish that every single level could be replayed and that there were a few more boss fights and levels.… Expand

You will also loose all savedate if you start before the download is complete. And they didnt use full 32gb cartridge nor give us the dlc or combat simulation, but othet than that this is the most impressive gaming experience ive had, and ive owned everys system and some pcs since early 2000's. Not only it looks outstanding handheld mode it is easy to play. i used bring em on difficulty on ps4p version but switch imnrocking do or die and when you learn to play with the switch it is really easy, rewarding on most fun. Handheld mode i dont use gyrocontrols but tvmode it makes fine tuning ur aiming really efective and fun. I have to say i choose the switch version over ps4pro and same goes for skyrim. It is very special to move these games whereever you want or just enjoy home at ur porch or tvmode i can but love the switch.… Expand

    Let's.... KILL... SOME.... MOTHERFOKING...... NAZI. SO DAMN GOOD. Play. It's a nice spin on ww2 games. In other games like cod ww2, you always know there will not be a sequel to the game, because the allies will always win, because those games are about the war. But in this game the nazi's already won, so you will not know if it's the end of the serie. just play it, better than world at war

    Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a sequel to the previous installment "The New Order" and it does everything right, with minimal flaws.

    - Those expeditions kinda stuff are kinda meh
    - Bad DLCs

    I love evrything about this game. I love the 1st one, but this takes it a few steps forward. The game looks great and i cant believe the Switch Pulled this off they way they did. Yea some blur can be noticed in some spots but its far in between. Loading times are decent too. So much action and it comes with a great story and ppl you learn to really like. Great work guys!!

    Wow! this game looks and plays brilliantly. Love the cinematics and cut-scenes are an entertaining mix of cool, macabre and sometimes bizarre.

    A must own Switch game if it's your only console.

    Superbe portage réalisé par le studio Panic Button, à qui l'on doit également les portages de Doom et Rocker League. Ils prouvent que la Switch peut faire tourner les productions AAA si l'on s'en donne les moyens. Pour revenir au jeu, c'est humour trash et violence frénétique ! Visuellement, ça en en jette pas mal que ce soit en mode docké ou portable. Le downgrade est perceptibleSuperbe portage réalisé par le studio Panic Button, à qui l'on doit également les portages de Doom et Rocker League. Ils prouvent que la Switch peut faire tourner les productions AAA si l'on s'en donne les moyens. Pour revenir au jeu, c'est humour trash et violence frénétique ! Visuellement, ça en en jette pas mal que ce soit en mode docké ou portable. Le downgrade est perceptible (resolution plus basse, texture moins fine, un peu de floutage) mais il est habillement dosé pour que le soft ne soit pas dénaturé. Bien que le jeu semble plus clair que les autres versions, il suffira d'aller faire un tour dans les réglages vidéo du jeu et de laisser tout juste apparaître le chiffre 4, ce sera plus sombre certes mais bien plus beau ! Les animations sont de qualité, et le jeu tourne avec un très solide 30fps. La bande son est ouf, et la voix de Bruce Willis ne fera que renforcer cet aspect cinématographique au plus grand bonheur des joueurs !

    Ce que j'ai aimé (+) :
    - L'action ultra prenante... le jeu se dévore comme un bon film
    - Qualité du portage
    - Un 30fps ultra stable
    - Bande son exceptionnelle / La voix de Bruce ;-)
    - Scénario

    Ce que je n'ai pas aimé (-) :
    - Les textures auraient pu être un chouillat plus fines (même réflexion que pour Doom) la Switch aurait pu gérer.
    - Le rendu de l'eau... mais là je chipote.
    - ON VEUT UN MODE MULTI JOUEURS !!!!!!!!!!

    Pour résumer, Wolfenstein devient un incontournable FPS sur Switch qui passe à côté d'un 10/10 pour manque de mode multi joueurs.    … Expand

    Now with the patch v1.2 the game comes to be a realy impressive port, now that the constant blur is gone. It's a good trade buy this game due to portability. And the gyro controls gives a new way to play. The game itself have a long single player mode, many ways to finish the game, making new all time you play it. Thanks Bethesda, we want more and more games from your team!

    Bethesda is like 8/10 on all of it's games. I can't think of a game they have made in the recent past that is less than that. This game brought so much value. The story was excellent, game play tuned, graphics pristine. If you're going to go in on this game, make sure you will commit to the other series. As well, make sure you pick up all the other Wolfenstein games from Bethesda.

    Pros: Very dynamic, excellent game-play and good story and enemy design.
    Cons: Graphics looks bad sometimes but I think they achieved a lot with Switch limited power compared to PS4 and X1.

    Summary: Don't remember last time I had that much fun. If you're Wolfenstein fan - you won't be dissapointed.

Anybody who wants a solid FPS available on the go may want to consider this game. I have played it both docked and in handheld mode and during gameplay I haven't experienced any noticeable frame rate drops in either mode. However, many cut scenes have some horrible frame rate issues in docked mode. Since this seems to be limited to cut scenes in docked mode I am still able to happily say that it doesn't ruin too much of the experience for me, yet this is why I feel uncomfortable with giving the game a 10/10.… Expand

The gameplay was top notch and although I’m not a veteran of the genre, I found it to be smooth in docked mode and on the TV. Shooting with a gun in each hand and two different triggers was unique. I’m normally not the type to like a lot of dialogue, but fully enjoyed it here. I read others saying you can’t skip the cutscenes, but you can. If you hit a button an option to skip pops up on the screen. I haven’t actually gone through and did that, but I’m sure it works. It must’ve been added in after the complaints. This is a rambling review, I realize. What I want to say is, great game: 9/10.… Expand

    Me encanta este titulo, es uno de los pocos que exprimen al máximo a la consola, obviamente gráficamente no esta a la altura de sus otras versiones pero es un titulo excelente, muy difuminado y con mucha "Niebla volumétrica" pero excelente y totalmente recomendado.

    At its core, Wolfenstein 2 for Switch feels exactly like the adventure we played last year. With solid mechanics and a thrilling story, the game truly shines. Despite some heavy technical downscaling, the shooter still plays very well on the Switch.

    Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is an absolute must play for anyone who enjoys that genre at all. As for the Switch version, it is a bit of a mixed bag. If you only own Nintendo consoles and never use anything else, get it. If you are looking to play the game on the go and the Switch is your preferred gaming console, get it. If you have other consoles and you only use your Switch now and then, and want the best experience possible with Wolfenstein II, go a different route and experience it for the first time the way the developers intended.
