Summary

Wolfenstein: The New Order is an action-adventure shooter game played from a first-person perspective. It is the semi-sequel to 2009's Wolfenstein, however utilizes very little from the game and drops any direct references to veil or supernatural. To progress through the story, the player battle enemies throughout levels. The game utilizes a health system in which players' health is divided into separate sections that regenerate; if an entire section is lost, the player must use a health pack to replenish the missing health. In combat, a cover system can be used as assistance against enemies. The player have the ability to lean around, over, and under cover, which can be used as a tactical advantage during shootouts and stealth levels. The game gives the player a wide variety of weapon options—they can be found on the ground, retrieved from dead enemies, or removed from their stationary position and carried around.

If you wanna kill some Nazis, Wolfenstein: The New Order is your kind of game.

Nazis won World War 2, and their grip is everywhere. You’re B.J. Blazkowicz, a relic of the old world with nothing left but a gun in each hand and a war still worth fighting.

The gunplay? one of the best I played. Every shot hits hard, every takedown kill feels satisfying. The world pulled me in, a twisted version of history where the wrong side won.

And the music… Collectible records of classic songs rewritten under Nazi rule. I hate that I liked them.

The story cuts deep, the action never lets up and it's just you, your guns, and a world that needs fixing, one dead Nazi at a time.

Came here for the nazi killing, and stumbled across some weird love story. Didn't actually care much about that. I mean, why would I when I can instead slaughter nazis while dual-wielding assault rifles and shotguns.

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 dieselpunk identity.

Visually the game did age quite noticeably; muddy textures are commonplace if you look closely around the environment, but great character design and the unique design of the world and enemies make up for it.

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

The main campaign has some great set pieces 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 changes 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 choose. 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 on some specific bullet-spongy enemies.

The soundtrack is excellent; 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 definitely is a must-play if you enjoy first-person shooters and well-written narratives in video games.

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.
