    Nice port for Nintendo switch! The grafics are good but the frame rate are unstable but it's ok for a portable version. The gameplay looks like Wolfenstein 2 a bit more fluid. The Ai is kinda broken the death animations are squishy. Its a unfinished animations...

    I was originally quite positive on this but the more I play the more the cracks start to show. The idea of using different ammo on different enemies is illogical in this type of game and works poorly. Changing weapons is too slow and often you don't have enough of the ammo you need. They need to remove this mechanic in all future titles. Level gating content is also annoying especially asI was originally quite positive on this but the more I play the more the cracks start to show.

They need to remove this mechanic in all future titles. Level gating content is also annoying especially as some missions don't have a recommended level attached so you may end up wandering into an area and getting mowed down in seconds.

    Worst of all is the AI companion. This game shouldn't be advertised as having the option of playing in single player mode. I tried one of the raid missions and made it to the final boss. It was challenging but I was wearing it down and enjoying myself but then my partner died and I had to resurrect her. I did so and noticed she was standing still in the middle of the area while the giant robot boss shot her... she died within seconds... I resurrected her several times and she continued to die until I ran out of health and we both died. As there are no checkpoints I had to restart the whole mission and lost 30 minutes. This shouldn't have made it past play testing.

    I really love wolfenstein, more than Doom to be honest but a large part of that is the story and the varied level design. Running through the same areas again and again shooting nazis who keep respawning just isn't all that much fun. It's enjoyable but gets old quite fast. I really hope the developers use youngblood as a lesson in what not to do when making wolfenstein 3.    … Expand

    I was expecting something far worse from all the negative hype this was getting, but after playing it for several hours, it's actually pretty fun. Yes there is no point to the coop and the AI is annoying, yes the story is garbage, but it's a fun run and gun shooter, no masterpiece like The New Order, but it still looks good and is fun to play for a bit.

    I didn’t think that I would write a review, and all the more so since I would change the rating.

    A really confusing game, in that it takes some of what made the modern era of Wolfenstein so great, then copies and pastes modern looter-shooter tropes on top. [Issue #41 – September 2019, p. 76]

    Overall, Youngblood is a welcome reinvention of the series, but lacks the personality of what makes a Wolfenstein game. Microtransactions aren’t as bad they’re made out, but it is still understandably going to impact each person differently. The extensive replay incentive and a charming, albeit short, story are appreciated. If you are a Wolfenstein enthusiast, this game definitely deserves at least one playthrough— just make sure you won’t have any interruptions during your sessions.

    Might not please established Wolfenstein fans, but Youngblood is still a great shooter on Switch.
