Wolfenstein: The New Order

i hate Wolfenstein, its a bad shooting game that owes everything to its setting of killing nazis but that has nothing good to show for it,bad story,gameplay,atmosphere,mechanics,you name it and they butchered it.
Disgusting,and their little witty dialogue is even worse.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is an excellent first person shooter with a deep narrative focus that surprised me quite extensively. It is set in an alternative reality in which WW2 went quite differently, providing a rather creative setting with rich personal deisel punk identity.

Visually the game did age quite noticiably, muddy textures are common place if you look closely around the enviroment, but great character design and the unique design of the world and enemies make up to it.

Narrative is eaily the highlight of this entry. Hopeless and gritty setting provides alot of dramatic stories that you easily find yourself caring for. B.J.Blazkowicz is an amazingly written and acted protagonist that provides alot of iconic and badass moments that make you root for him immediately. Supporting cast is also rich and varied, lots of standouts like Anna and Fergus, which are all well written and acted.

Main campaign has some great setpieces and emotional moments, it's well paced but does have some slow moments that disrupt the flow of gameplay. A choice made in the beginning of the game change some moments and gameplay elements in the game, providing some good replayability.

Gameplay is satisfying, punchy and brutal, basically something similar to Doom, but with a more fragile character and stealth also being a well balanced option if you so chose. Weapon variety is pretty good with one unique weapon determined from your choice made during the intro. Dual wielding brings some spice to the combat, allowing you to go crazy to some specific bullet spongy enemies.

Soundtrack is excillent, Mick Gordon provides impact to combat and good ambience to story heavy scenes.

To sum up, Wolfenstein: The New Order is an excellent reboot that on the outside could look unimpressive, but it definitelly is a must play if you enjoy first person shooters and well written narratives in video games.

Gameplay: 6

Level design: 3
Graphics: 4
Immersion: 2
Voice Acting: 10
Story: 7

Honestly not a bad game, but not what its hyped to be. Voice acting was the only true thing that stood out for me. Hopefullty the game is improved because of the games after, but not a great stand alone.

Played on: Playstation 5
Version: Playstation 4
Edition: Digital

Had some fun. This felt outdated even for its time that it was released. Played more like a PS3 title to be quite honest. The story is generic & the character you play as is even more so. I must also note that this game can be difficult if you aren't careful with its difficulty or play style.

All in all, this was fun but I will easily forget it in no time. That being said, it was fun enough to continue through the franchise.

Final verdict: Wait for a sale

Just another fps, a unnecessarily harder one at that. Neither gameplay, nor the story holds your attention for long. But if you are really into FPS games, you should give it a try.

Its a funny and great story you can pick the persons you can save in the begining.
