Wolfenstein: The New Order

Wolfenstein: The New Order shows that we can trust that Bethesda and Machine Games can handle the franchise. The review is coming from a person, who played Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein. Now, let's list the pluses in W:TNO.

1)Nice graphics.

2)Good voice acting.

3)Better story.

4)Awesome gameplay, that mixes regenerating health and the need of health packs.

5)Plenty of guns.

6)Great level design.

7)Section where you can choose to use stealth or to go guns and blazing.

8)Various animations when you kill an enemy with knife. They don't get old.

9)Various enemies.

10)Great concept.

11)Collectables are fum to find.

12)Bits of the soundtrack.

13)Interesting characters.

14)Levels are fun to replay.

15)Game is replayable with 4 different mods.

16)The setting.

17)Newspaper articles in the game, like this is a real world.

18)Nice voice acting.

19)Finally Nazis speak German.

20)Dialogue, not only in English, but in German and (not 100% sure) Polish.

21)Great villains.

I may have missed some pluses, but now I'm going to talk about the minuses.

1)The two different timelines, that you choose which to follow, don't affect the story much.

2)When replaying the levels, I wish you could skip the non-action parts. I wanted to skip them.

3)Loading times when you die are kinda too long.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is a fun first-person shooter. From BAD 1 to EXCELLENT 6 I give it EXCELLENT 5.50 - it's better than a VERY GOOD game, but not a truly EXCELLENT game. I hope that the new Doom will be better, or at least as good as this game.

You can kill nazis in this game. That's all you need to know.

This is an excellent game. I feel that it is one of those games that will stick with me, not though the gameplay itself is extremely innovative, but that every aspect of this game is engaging, entertaining, and has excellent production values in the best sense.

The gameplay is very solid and just downright fun. But what makes the whole thing work so well (beyond the gameplay), is the story, the actors, the music, and the CGI acting.

This is the most downright poignant and engrossing story I've seen in an FPS possibly ever. And yes, I'm comparing to Bioshock, Mass Effect trilogy, and System Shock 2. But it's not because of any mindblowing twists, or epic plot structure... It's because the characters are so well-drawn (and I'm not talking literally, although the nuances that are conveyed are incredibly well done, in spite of lacking COD: AW or LA Noire tech), and the voice acting is absolutely top notch. That's not too say that the characters are extremely fleshed out, but the back-stories are in their faces and voices; in other words, they have character and soul that are completely missing in the majority of games in the genre.

This is just a superb game. Anyone who enjoys the genre owe it to themselves to play this. Everyone involved in this game should be proud of their accomplishment.

It's just really, really, good.

The game knows well what the audience wants and it delivers it to them with a plate full of brutality and action. Apart from the well known fun shooting against the modern Nazis you can follow an actual story with characters that are stereotypical and funny. It's quite bizarre and violent but that's what made this game memorable.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is absolutely awesome! I loved almost everything about this game. The story was a phenomenal story about the evil of Nazis, the cruelty of abusing power, the tragedy of murder, the horror of war, the beauty of the future, and to take care of your friends and family. The gameplay combat with all the guns, and the stealth was extremely fun. The music sounded amazingly good and hopeful. I loved finding all the secret rooms and collectibles. The attention to detail with all the various rooms all across Europe, and the futuristic technology was beautiful, and so very cool; however the main reason why I can't give this game a 10 out of 10 is because the gore, foul language, and sexual immorality was very inappropriate, and there's no filter to turn off that content, so unfortunately that's why it deserves the 8/10 and not the 10/10. Without doubt though Wolfenstein: The New Order is still one of my favorite videogames because it's one of the best. Have a great day, and goooo Wolfenstein!
