Some of the enemies are quite similar and get tedious to kill though. The area in the submarine is quite bland and some character conversations are very boring.… Expand

    So- So:
    - the story.. the main goal was nothing unique, but the journey was a enjoyable one.
    - overall gameplay/combat. its fine...serviceable at its best. nothing unique or interesting. gaming 101. fps 101. sometimes I just go commando and rush through the level with dual weapons just to get to the cutscene.

    Cons:
    - No replay value. replay value consists of more combat (backtracking old levels..mostly) , which is the weakest part of the game.

    Overall great game with its characters and cutscenes carrying it and standard linear fps experience. It took me 15 hours, but I had no desire to go back whatsoever. I give it an 8. but it is definately closer to a 7 than a 9.. reccomended for people who like a game with great characters, but maybe what for a sale, if you are all about gameplay.

    Overall great game with an interesting in depth story, my only complaint is the post campaign extra missions you get are a bit bland and uninteresting and can usually be beat in 5min by sprinting through enemies with a shotgun. The stealth is also very basic and inconsistent for a game the seems to encourage it.

Перезапущеный вульфенштейн идёт в правильном направлении, а упущение и реакция аудитории надеюсь поможет Машин Геймс сделать триквел и прыгнуть выше всех существующих игр. Поскольку прыжок в этот раз оказался на уровне с оригиналом, то надеюсь Машин Геймс поймут куда расти. Им в любом случе спасибо за шикарные 30 часов проведенных в мире захваченном Наци, мире который мы освобождаем. И как бы неоднозначно люди не приняли новый Вульф, и какой бы ворох технических проблем он не нёс, это всё ещё один из лучших шутеров последнего времени. Я ждал его не ради срачей в интернете, в которых люди обычно не способны адекватно обосновать свои притензии в сторону абсолютно субъективных моментов, которые однако не портят сути главного.

The climat... it feels like an old Wolfenstein 3D with modern environment. Still, you can even play Wolf3d in this game!

    OK, the missions are kinda repetitive - go there, kill as many nazis as you can, but there are some rare memorable moments like pretending to be an actor in the movie made by... guess who. And you don't have to kill everything, I tried to use as many stealth as it was possible to take down the officers first.
    Levels are varied from the space station on Venus through destroyed NYC to an old disintegrating house somewhere in the countryside of the USA.
    The game on normal difficulty can be demanding. Didn't try the hardest one with the controller so far ;)
    Ammount of bugs on XBO is low, just found a few graphical glitches.
    I never play games twice, but I want to do it with this one just to see another plot in the story where you can choose a path at the begining of the game.

    Together with previous part its just must play for someone who loves old good shooting games, not some f*****g mix of Mario Bross and Doom like they did in doom eternal.    … Expand

Wolfenstein II marks the third high-point in this series for me - simple FPS game play, superbly executed with a great, but straightforward plot. It's a definite improvement over the last three outings, with fewer gimmicks, although they are all games I enjoyed. I would love for the series to have returned to the idea of the Nazis invoking dark, supernatural forces, as in Return, but without spoiling it, Wolfenstein has the next best plot device.

    Talking of plot, this game also has the best plot of the series (excepting the lack of dark forces noted above) with a series of well developed, enjoyable characters rather than the usual literary cannon fodder found in such games. Most of all though, it develops Blazkowicz into an actual, relatable human being, with a solid exploration of his background, which is delivered in a clever and enjoyable way. It also gives him direction and hope for the future, which these days is much better than "duuuuh, me kill bad men". Not that the Nazis weren't bad men. They were. Very. And still deserve killing in video games. Which this game allows you to do, prolifically.

    Graphics are great, with some really varied locations. Sound and music does what it says on the tin. But it still all comes back to well implemented shooting of Nazis with as much prejudice as possible, in a slick, top of the range FPS. Excellent.    … Expand

    To those who down-checked this game because of the very obvious political aspects, I get where you’re coming from, but this is the world we now live in. It would be great of politics could stay out of most of our lives but those days are over. It sucks, but it is what it is, we’re going to have to learn to live within it because it’s not going to change. You can forgo Nike, Gillette, Kellogg’s, all you want. Good for you. Nobody is going to make you buy that stuff. You can also forgo Wolfenstein II if you want. Nobody made you buy this game when it very clearly had a political message in the trailers. What did you expect the message to be? The message at times does bother me too, immensely, but I can look past it and enjoy the game for what it is. And also absorb a point of view that at times I can disagree with, but also understand. Also, this is a game about viciously disemboweling Nazis, and to me the political aspect is a marketing gimmick first and a plot point second. I recommend you just enjoy a great game where you get to butcher Nazis. Or just don’t buy it, either way.    … Expand

    they also did a really great job with the sound and the music as well
    and the game goes for 14 to 16(without doing side quest,s) hours long which is a good time for a game like this to run for
    great difficulty choices the difficulty i ended playing this game on was perfect at least for me(terror billy difficulty level)
    (bad stuff)
    they added some side quest in this game but their really boring you go to a location that you most likely already explored to go kill a commander that,s only a little harder to kill then your average grunt
    (i would rather help Preston Garvey with another settlement then do these side quests not even joking)
    boss battles are gone which is a shame since new order,s bosses where interesting to fight against
    not enough new weapons to use(in my opinion)
    and not enough new enemy types to kill
    (overall thoughts)
    despite this games flaws i still had a great time with the game if they had just took the resources they used to make the side quests to instead make some interesting and well designed challenging boss battles and some more main story missions (even if its only 1 or 2 more missions) and more enemy types i would off easily scored this game higher    … Expand

The story in the game is stunning and in my opinion it’s one of the best story’s I’ve ever encountered in a game. The characters make the story even better and you can tell that a lot of thought has gone into them and the best thing is that no character in the game feels underdeveloped. When it comes to the gameplay a lot of the mechanics shine through very brightly, and most of them have been done to perfection. I was especially impressed with the gun mechanics in the game and they have managed to make them feel great whilst also making them fun at the same time. The same can also be said about the combat in the game. The combat in the game has a really vicious side to it and this vicious side is both fun and very very satisfying, which is awesome. The presentation side of the game has been done to perfection. Visually the game can look stunning at times and they’ve done a fantastic job of capturing a realistic feel in the locations they’ve used. The accompanying sound design has also been done very well and each different component gives the game even more immersion. At the end of the day I must admit that I didn’t think Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus would be this good. They have impressed me on all levels and without a doubt this is the best shooter so far this year, in fact it’s one of the best shooters I’ve ever played. Everything in the game just seems to click and you can tell that extra effort has been placed in a number of areas, and this extra effort makes the game a candidate for game of the year. I can not recommend this game enough and for fans of shooters this game is a must buy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The problem with creating a follow up to a critically acclaimed game is that you have already set the bar extremely high. Machine Games created a masterpiece when they rebooted the franchise, but with each follow-up entry it feels more and more distant from what the original got right. Don’t get me wrong, the game is solid, but most of the new mechanics are more frustrating than fun.

    The New Colossus picks up months after the first game’s ending, with our hero BJ Blazkowicz in a coma and paralyzed from his injuries sustained from taking down the Nazi war machine at the end of the original game. You’ll begin the game as the Nazi regime is attacking the stolen U boat BJ and his cohorts have commandeered and been using as a mobile base in their revolution. Being paralyzed from the waist down, BJ must use a wheelchair to navigate through the boat taking down Nazi’s using the stealth and gunplay the series has become known for. Upon completion of the level, you will be given one of the heavy choices the series is so fond of, which has little effect on the outcome of the game. You are given the Iron Man like armor featured in the previous game, which allows BJ to walk once again.

    The remainder of the story will take place in various locales across the US, Venus, as well as through flashbacks. One event at the beginning of the game almost caused me to stop playing, as I was forced to shoot my own dog. As someone who takes animal welfare to heart, this struck a nerve with me. Most of the scripted events that were awe inspiring in the original tend to fall flat on this outing, although the story remains engaging for the most part. A highlight was seeing a topless pregnant woman covered in blood wielding two automatic guns saving BJ from a large group of Nazi’s. I also found the depiction of an aged, sickly Hitler to be worthy of a few chuckles, despite the fact we are unable to directly take his life in this entry.

    The overall presentation of the game is top notch, with the visuals on the standard Xbox One exceeding the already amazing textures and character models of the original, I can’t wait to get my hands on an Xbox One X and see the improvements offered in the 4K update. With the exception of a few character models clipping into scenery, I rarely felt the immersion was broken. The sound effects and dialogue were also top notch, with the only issue I experienced being that some of the subtitles, which are needed to understand the German, often bled into the background or were blurry, as if they didn’t load properly.

    The game controls just as well as you remember, with the only downfall being the clunky weapon selection. Like the original, you can duel wield any weapons at any time; however, trying to switch to a single pistol during stealth segments is a bit of a chore and resulted in fiddling with the wheel longer than I would have liked. In addition to the decent story, there is a score attack mode that will allow you to replay various stages from the game, without your upgrades, to compete for medals which serve no real purpose. Sadly, the new game plus option has been removed in lieu of open world areas, allowing you to explore the game freely to search for additional upgrades and seek out the game’s 200+ collectibles. This mode also features some side missions which are completely optional, but I would have preferred the new game plus option to be added.

    Post-game, you’ll be treated to a new difficulty, which is the hardest mode I have ever played in my life. The game tasks the player to complete the game on the hardest difficulty, which is no joke this time around, with permadeath on. While the Nazi’s in the original were nothing but bullet fodder for BJ, the AI has been improved, making this venture much more difficult than the original. I struggled on the normal difficulty and actually had to reduce it on a number of occasions, which luckily can be changed at any time through the games menu. Unfortunately, this improvement makes the numerous stealth segments much more difficult than before. Enemies will now flock to the corpses of their fallen comrades, meaning you have to work quickly as well as silently.

    If you love their original reboot, you will likely enjoy this follow up, although I feel Machine Games missed the mark with this sequel. While not a bad game, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus won’t be remembered as the masterpiece we all hoped for after the last one.    … Expand

    Best FPS of 2017! So much FUN!! Ignore the low reviews, its seems the alt-right fascist gamers of today can't handle the beautifully delivered storyline which may leave them questioning which side they're on.
    If you like single player FPS and you're not a Nazi.... buy it now:-)
    PS Just finished this. F**king brilliant. Thank you Bethseda & MachineGames. 10/10

    Wolfenstein II: The New Order is almost great but is held back by a number of issues. A few design choices Machine Games made far too often took me out of the game and frustrated me to no end. For such a great feeling game, the lack of damage indicators to and from enemies made the game feel off far too many times. An outdated health system forced me to play the game differently than I wanted to. Instead of the clear intent at fast paced chaotic action the game does so well, I was too often hiding behind cover, scouring for health packs, and dying in seconds due to frequent difficulty spikes. Even with these issues, I still had an overall positive experience with the game due to strong story beats and chaotic moment to moment action. Wolfenstein II is a game I would recommend to anyone but is a game that may leave you feeling a bit frustrated in the end.

    Smart, satisfying, brutal: Undoubtedly one of the best shooters of the generation.

    Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus brings gamers around the world and single player, first person shooter that delivers a fantastic storyline, beautiful graphics, and an experience that is hard to surpass on any platform. Bethesda and MachineGames have done a tremendous job in showcasing evil exists in the world, the fight that good people have to go through to prevent this evil from taking hold, and what happens when good people do absolutely nothing. This game is easily a contender for game of the year, with only a few shortcomings, and I expect to see Wolfenstein II make a serious case for why they deserve the crown.
