    Solid FPS with a story that doesn't ring emotional or strong. Beginning hits hard with WWII gameplay and combat but becomes more and more hollow as the game progresses. Still a fun play, especially to get to the sequel.

    It's not ground-breaking in any way, but the gameplay is fun. The Nazi machines are creative and interesting enemies to fight. The alternate history element is interesting and the atmosphere is good.

    A generally solid first-person shooter. It almost feels like what Dishonered would be if it were a shooter. Unlike most games in the genre, Wolfenstein places a great deal of emphasis on the story, context and characters. The setting is fantastic, if not a little deluded. It shows that the world would be far more technically advanced in 1960 had the Nazis won the war. Of course, this isA generally solid first-person shooter.

The setting is fantastic, if not a little deluded. It shows that the world would be far more technically advanced in 1960 had the Nazis won the war. Of course, this is all done to allow for the more interesting weapons and enemies and levels. The game starts out at a convenient point to build the setting, and then continues to explore the world under the new regime. As with Dishonered, there are plenty of collectibles and little newspaper headlines and documents to read - all there to make the game world feel authentic. Bethesda do a great job of bringing their fictional worlds to life, and encourage the player to explore every inch of the levels even though the game is a corridor shooter. You will spend a lot of time pressing the X button - as this does everything - it reloads, it's the action button, it picks stuff up. There feels like a LOT of looting in this game for ammo, health and armour - all of which are in abundant supply. So much infact, that even on Uber difficulty you will rarely, if ever, be struggling to survive. That's not to say that it's a boring game however. Sure, there are a lot of "filler" missions where you don't actually do any shooting, but these exist to develop the story. When it comes to gameplay, The New Order has it nailed. The gunplay has a lot of weight and feels satisfying. When you shoot enemies you can really feel the damage. It doesn't rely too much on gimmicks and gadgets - just pure gunplay. The ability to dual-wield weapons and with each weapon having two "modes", combat can be creative at times. The mechanics are amongst the best of any modern shooter. The most commendable feature is the ability to fully lean by holding LB and using the left stick to change your character's stance up, down, left, right etc. It makes you wonder how other shooters manage without it at time, and makes the whole moving in and out of cover by movement feel outdated. Add in the sprinting, sliding and auto-lean when behind cover, the ability to throw knives (which is intuitively mapped to the melee button) and grenades, then you've got a decent set of actions. The controls are well laid out but there aren't many options for changing them other than sensitivity and inversion. There's also some stealth in this game - which is often encouraged because taking out the commanders before they can call for backup makes it easier to progress. Although this game oozes with Steampunk theme, it seems a little conservative when it comes to the enemies at times. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there's basically three types - soldiers, "mechs/robots" and dogs. It's not a full-blown sci-fi and tries to blur the lines between fantasy and alternate reality, so don't expect anything too crazy. In terms of level design and gameplay variety, there really isn't much to commend. Sure, there's a level on the moon and a huge robot to take down in London but the overall package lacks "magnificence" in its presentation. One thing which I must commend is that it's 1080p 60 FPS - as a shooter should be! It runs on id Tech 5 which, if we're being pedantic, is two generations ahead of CoD (which is based on id Tech 3 - a 20th century game engine!) but don't be fooled - this is the same engine that was used to power Rage and consequently doesn't look much better than that. It's definitely not what you'd call "next-gen" graphically, but it runs very well and loading times are reasonable. In conclusion, Wolfenstein The New Order is good, proper first-person shooter with some of the best mechanics and controls in the business. The action is gripping and intense, but sadly there's not enough of it. Still, it's good to see a shooter that's not afraid of giving some weight to story. The lack of multiplayer is disappointing because it has good potential with all its awesome mechanics and satisfying weapons but the single-player campaign is good enough to warrant a purchase.… Expand

I know there is an option to open up a map but as i said before i just think it takes the fluidity away from it.

    Wolfenstein has always been a fan favorite since the original, but the game has always fallen short of the hype. This game is no different. Considering most Bethesda created games like Fallout and Elder Scrolls are great but this game tries to be that and falls short of being anything but mediocre.

    Luckily I didn't pay for this game so I am not bitter about paying for it.

Considering most Bethesda created games like Fallout and Elder Scrolls are great but this game tries to be that and falls short of being anything but mediocre.

    Luckily I didn't pay for this game so I am not bitter about paying for it. I would be if I had. The game is fairly pedestrian and maintains the feel of a corridor shooter with no different courses to follow or search. This is an on-rails shooter plain and simple. There is one way to go and that way is always forward.

    The graphics are still last-gen but hold up well and the story is fairly fun. The fact there are two different storylines to follow based on a decision made during the intro it adds to the replayability. However that is the only saving grace for this game. Machinegames demonstrates the how a developer can be given the chance to make the next great game and then crap out a turd because they were too lazy to do it right.

    Let's go through the cons first since they are numerous and the main reason that game is crap.

    1. AI is dreaful. If you ever wanted to play a game with AI similar to Call of Duty this is it. The AI might even be worse. The game tries to pride itself on allowing the player to choose between playstyle, Guns-a-blazin or Metal Gear Stealth action. Only it forces you into one of the other during most of the game with AI that can see through walls and knows where you are hiding at all times. While you are in stealth mode, feel free to kill guys without regard to other AI because they can't see a dead co-worker if they were stabbed in front of you. I would kill a soldier and a dog only to wait around a corner and watch another enemy walk right by them like they are on a siesta. The AI in the game makes you wonder if they just thought it would be okay to make a piss poor version of it.

    2. Controls - They added in unnecessary controls that will cause you to die over and over again. Things like the slide while sprinting is terribly implemented and the controls make you want to throw the controller. It's just unintuitive. It's like letting a left handed person make the control choices and then veer off the standard FPS controls that every other game uses. Wanna crouch? Press B.

    3. Single weapon or duel weapons... hey you can do any weapon duel wield. Yeah it sounds cool but it's terrible. You don't get any more ammo and you don't get to aim.

    4. Guns feel plastic. Everything can be forgiven if the guns feel right but these guns feel like plastic with their dramamtic recoil and horrible movement.

    5. Pressing X to pick up ammo... pressing X to reload... pressing X to pick up ammo while you reload constantly. You also continue to reload your gun and check your magazine while you are idle...

    6. Hints - the bread crumbs of what you are suppose to do are barely noticeable. Enjoy figuring things out on your own.

    7. Bioshock... someone played Bioshock and thought it would be good to make a game similar in style except without powers.

    8. Max

    9. Intro is 15 years too long.

    Pros - there are at least a few

    1. Two different timelines.

    2. Good graphics.

    3. Killing Nazi's and giant robot Nazi's.

    I'm not a big fan of console shooters but I enjoyed the story in this game enough to see it through to the end.

    Not as much run and gun as I had heard, felt like I mostly had to find a good spot and thin the herd; not at all like the new Doom which I loved.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game surprised me. It was good and bad in ways I didn't expect.
    Let's start with the good: the mood is really good, with very colourful parts presenting the nazi victory and oppression. The actor plays really well the tragic almost sociopath protagonist.
    The bad: the combat is a mix of way too many things not marrying well together. Some basic and relatively easy stealth scenes are hampered by the fact that it's very difficult to peek from cover. Then you have scenes with waves of enemies (you died in the middle? start again) which sometimes encourage cover shooting and sometimes run and gun. With not enough space and speed to run and a very awkward 1st person cover perspective, the difficult battles frequently boil down to finding the right spot in which to stay to exploit the opponents' bad AI as they'll be coming at you 1-2 at a time.
    And that's without counting the regenerating health which marries the worst of both worlds, by regenerating up to the next 20 points. In practice, this means you can be stuck in a checkpoint before a big battle with only 20 health, and you're encouraged to peek from cover, fire 2 shots, take 10 damage and go back to cover. Adding insult to injury, you have a couple of unnecessary subsystems (armor and armor upgrades) and a HORRIBLE scene in which you're stuck in a huge machine and you're fired upon from all sides (it's either too easy and silly in low difficulty or bordering to frustratingly impossible in harder difficulties, as the only thing you can do is 5 slow steps to the left, 5 slow steps to the right, as you're firing upon the waves of enemies).
    Combat's redeeming point is the perk system, which encourages you to do interesting things (ex: ricochet shots) in order to unlock abilities.
    In general the combat reminded me of Tomb Raider's revival in the way it mixes stealth and cover shooter scenes, but the game in general has nothing close to Tomb Raider's exploration parts (silly golden nazi paraphernalia collectibles thrown in crazy places don't count as decent exploration).
    Verdict: nowadays you can find the game at    … Expand

    - Graphically it has to be said that the game has not aged particularly well. Even allowing for the fact that it is 3 years old at this point there are some decidedly awful examples mixed in with a few good examples. You can look at desks in the levels for example and see that the pens/paper/clutter on it is literally drawn onto the desk. I'm not asking for a pen to be 3d rendered or    Bad

You can look at desks in the levels for example and see that the pens/paper/clutter on it is literally drawn onto the desk. I'm not asking for a pen to be 3d rendered or anything but it does look quite terrible when it catches your eye. Whilst the levels are enjoyable to transverse and do battle they do get remarkably samey as you progress through them. You essentially are set a theme for the level at the beginning and rarely does it deviate from what you see in the first 2 minutes of the level.
    - I'm a fan of video games not holding your hand in their gameplay. I like to figure stuff out for myself and think too many games nowadays coddle their player and treat them like idiots. Having said that there was more than once in The New Order where I had absolutely no idea what to do next or where to go. The final boss is particularly annoying as there is a very specific thing you must do to even hurt him and this isn't really made abundantly clear. Also you have no way of knowing if you are actually hurting him (or any other boss for that matter) so it becomes infuriating to learn the last 5 minutes you've spent shooting at them has done nothing. A little more guidance would have helped even if I appreciate they were trying to be hands off.
    -It's autosave feature was far too spaced out at times, particularly around the Boss battles. More than once I was in disbelief at how much progress I could lose by dying. In most modern games you come to expect that autosaves are fairly regular but there was more than once I lost 5 to 10 minutes of progress by dying.
    - The weapon wheel is too sensitive for selecting weapons on the fly. I ran out of ammo with a gun and it often meant selecting the weapon next to to one I wanted as I tried to select weapons whilst moving. A hot switch between two weapons is available but its kind of pointless when you constantly select the weapon to the left or right of the one you want and then you have to relearn selection process all over again. Why they didn't just have LB cycle through the weapons I'll never know.
    - There is no real way of knowing if an enemy is seeing you or is about to see you and in a game where stealth is a viable option of combat this is more than a little annoying. Whats more the AI can be dumb as posts. I've turned a corner in crouched mode before now to find myself slap bang in front of a guard who continues to stand there calmly as I line up a headshot and kill him. Guards don't seem to care much when they're comrades are capped either, provided you did it silently.
    - Toward the final third they just mob you with strong, armored enemies rather than placing them strategically and it makes the final third a bit of a slog.

    GOOD
    - It's remarkably cheap. I can't remember the last sale on PS or Xbox where they weren't throwing this game and it's prequel away for nothing. I got 18 hours on my first playthrough of this game and it cost me £3.74. I've had beers more expensive than that and they lasted a lot less time. In terms of value for money not only did I get a lot of bang for my buck but I often found myself thoroughly enjoying the whole process...
    - It's very fun. It eschews multiplayer entirely to focus on the single player experience and whilst it isn't without its warts it is on the whole a very, very fun time. Guns feel meaty and different to one another, combat is tight and engaging despite the AI not being the best. Levels tend to flow nicely from one set piece to another at good pace that keeps you into the game.
    - It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a game based in alternate history so they are aware they have licence to get a little wacky. Robot Dogs, Jimi Hendrix esque allies, another ally with a dent in his head that can only say his name in different tones, another that is wheelchair bound but still goes on missions. It's all a little off kilter and the game knows it, it plays to it and that's to be applauded. Rather than forcing a serious face onto things and it does try to get a little poetic sometimes, by and large its a game that knows it isn't based too much in reality.
    -The Plot. It's pretty good. It kept me entertained and I did actually care about most of the characters. The love interest seemed tacked on and the sex scenes were abrupt and kinda unneeded but on the whole it was refreshing to see a decent single player story in an FPS. Forewarning however; the ending is far from brilliant or good closure.

    Overall for the price, it's more than worth picking up. For the frequently available sale price you'd be getting a rock solid FPS that'll hold your attention for the whole of its very decent storyline. In terms of bang for buck this is about as satisfied as I've been with a game for a long time.    … Expand

The game does have large downfalls that lesser its score, the weapons arsenal is not as plentiful or interesting as i hoped and can be annoying to switch guns mid battle, the way the enemies battle you by sticking to cover does restrict a free flowing bullet fest type of game, some enemies like the huge robots and drones are massivley over used and become a chore by the end of the game that has you mostly hiding in cover on 20 health trying not to die so you dont have to re-do it all and theres a massive problem with stealth, its so phenomenally basic and over used that these sections become tedious fast, with it all being set up and linear in ways that you can complete it, with enemies being brain dead and bind at times, the final boss battle is okay if not slightly infuriating, the collectables are awful and not worth collecting, the old school wolfenstein missions that are optional and slightly hidden are a neat touch but nothing to rave about with the guns not becoming that old classic style aswell, by the end you'll be satisfied with new order if not blown away, its still much much much better than its succesor old blood which is horrendous compared to this game, a good 7 out of 10 and definetly worth picking up on a sale and playing.… Expand

    I do love how they try to resurrect Wolfenstein, but really the game just isn't that great. I always thought that Wolfenstein was just doom with Nazis, but Doom has fun weapons, awesome enemies, and great level design. Wolfenstein has generic weapons, extraordinarily boring enemies, and bad level design. Overall the gameplay is just extremely repetitive and boring. It has its moments, butI do love how they try to resurrect Wolfenstein, but really the game just isn't that great.

    Роботы капец раздражают, даже не видно импакта от попаданий в них.
    Под конец сюжетный кайф начинается и концовка отлично сделана

    While some archaic design choices and patience-testing difficulty spikes will attempt to compromise your enjoyment on occasion, the moments to follow generally smooth over any past transgressions.

    Fans of Wolfenstein of old will appreciate how it has grown and matured, and newcomers will enjoy playing in this horrific alternate history. Not to mention, every day is a great day to shoot Nazis.

    Ultimately you have to scrape to find a substantive problem with Wolfenstein: The New Order. If you mandate profound innovation in the games you play, it’s possible that New Order may be too traditional for your tastes. Regardless, it’s a well-made, extremely create, and fun ass game. If you want to sit down and just have fun, you can’t ask for more than that.
