    Wolf tem uma ambientação incrível, porem o jogo é entediante e o combate é medíocre

    The game does not miss a step from the New order. It's a direct continuatio

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

On console, this game handles terribly. Very clunky controls, poor level design and subpar mechanics that can cost you dearly in a play through hold this game back severely. It seems like all the budget went into the cutscenes and the gameplay was just kind of an afterthought. A lot of standard Bethesda **** keeps this promising game from being a decent one and instead makes it a huge miss of potential. If you want a game that offers a similar experience but is miles better, Doom is right up your alley. Everything that this game tries to do (minus the story), Doom did so much better in every conceivable way. If you have played both games, you know that Doom is just the fun version of this. Considering both are published by Bethesda, it really makes you question how they can put out such a great game a year before this one is released and then a year later release something with a similar concept that’s so frustrating to play.… 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.

    I played the xbox series x version, which looked amazing (4K, more fps).
    The progressive system is well done with the weapons and upgrades you receive during the game. I also liked the enemies, sometimes the KI was a bit weird but ok. The story and length were also ok.
    Consider, that the game and cutscenes have brutal elements in 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.

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

Лучше чем The New Colossus для идеальной адаптации к жанру наверное придумать сложно, ну если не жестить с уровнем сложности конечно. Буквально через пару часов мучений фашисты летели фаршем во все стороны. Адаптация - done! Что же касается самой игры. Тут как всегда всё просто выше всяких похвал. Поливаем с двух рук по фашистам только в путь, и теперь в каждой руке оружие можно выбирать разное, чего ранее не было. Картинка как всегда великолепная, механика и геймплей доставляют невероятное удовольствие. Врагов великие тысячи самого разнообразного достоинства прут на вас только успевай молотить мясное рагу. А какая здесь история, какие кат-сцены!!! Да ты несешься скорее уровень закончить дабы посмотреть что там будет дальше.

Над игрой потрудились на славу и в данном случае здесь кайфуешь не только от драйва самого игрового процесса, ты погружаешься с головой в жизнь Билли Бласковица его драму, его радости, его, не побоюсь этого слова - романтические отношения.

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

They took some massive risks here and some of them are so weird as to be nearly off-putting but it works, good for them for taking said risks, where so much of modern gaming is bland as ****

    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

    Après les deux précédents épisodes de MachineGames affreusement mauvais, ce New Colossus a remis étonnamment les pendules à l'heure, gommant quasiment tous les gros défauts dont il était affublé... mais pas tous néanmoins.

    Les sensations sont    Après les deux précédents épisodes de MachineGames affreusement mauvais, ce New Colossus a remis étonnamment les pendules à l'heure, gommant quasiment tous les gros défauts dont il était affublé... mais pas tous néanmoins. Il fait en tout cas amende honorable et marque des progrès sensibles dans ses combats, bien plus violents et brutaux, bien plus spectaculaires.

    Les sensations sont excellentes, les armes envoient un déluge de feu (et de plomb) et la maniabilité est presque satisfaisante.... bien qu'encore un peu mal calibrée (toujours ce souci avec l'accélération au stick). L'infiltration reste identique à elle-même, très optionnelle certes mais traitée par dessus la jambe ; en fait, on ne voit aucun réel intérêt à se faire chier avec ça, tellement c'est foireux.

    Mais une nouveauté de taille vient tout de même nuancer ce constat peu amène : la sauvegarde manuelle, n'importe quand, n'importe où ! ce qui permet d'expérimenter ad libitum la furtivité si maltraitée ici et d'en retirer à force quelque vague gratification, comme une sorte de défi qu'on se lancerait à soi-même.

    Le jeu reste un couloir plus ou moins large (ou plus ou moins étroit) avec un gros hub central dans lequel on ne cesse d'errer, tant ce "sous-marin" est un putain de labyrinthe grand comme un immeuble ! et la machine Enigma et son mini-jeu en temps limité soûle à très grande vitesse, nous privant du coup des missions supplémentaires : quel gâchis...

    En tout cas, ce Wolf est magnifique soutenant une 4K mirifique sur la X (sauf lors d'affrontements très chargés) à une magnifique cadence de 60 im/s, excusez du peu ! Effets sonores et VF impeccables avec Patrick Poivey, la voix de Bruce, ce qui ne gâche rien. La campagne reste dans l'ensemble bien rythmée avec quelques bonnes surprises...

    Et quelques mauvaises... à savoir la majorité des cinématiques et des personnages secondaires. On y trouve pêle-mêle une mentalité de collégien attardé rageux, un agenda gauchiste particulièrement lourdingue et des préoccupations SJW insupportables. Heureusement, on peut zapper directum toute cette merde.

    Voilà donc ce Wolf II colossal par moments, bien pitoyable par d'autres mais encourageant malgré ses maladresses.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
