Wolfenstein: The New Order

'Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014)' revives its pioneering series and attempts to kick the first-person shooter genre back to its roots. The game really only has one thing in its mind: shooting Nazis. Thankfully, then, this aspect of its design is highly satisfying, thanks to the piece's refined controls and large arsenal of weapons. It's gory, over-the-top and a lot of fun. This does sort of clash with the thing's story, as the narrative attempts to be somewhat serious with just a dash of satire here and there. Ultimately, though, it maintains a tonal balance and works as a kind of schlocky, 'what-if?' science-fiction. A lot of time is spent on delivering the plot, which isn't an issue since it's so well-written and enjoyable. The game's level design is almost labyrinthine at times, allowing you to explore at your own pace and search for secrets if you so wish. This makes it rather replayable, as each mission feels distinct and the few hub locations you visit have a variety of rooms to explore. Here, you can interact further with the game's rag-tag cast of characters, cementing them within the world-space. Overall, this is one of the more enjoyable FPS games of the 2010s, principally because it focuses on its shooting mechanics and doesn't encumber the player with a weapon limit or a slow movement speed. It's great fun. 8/10

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.

Greetings from Lithuania.

So i finally forced myself to beat "Wolfenstein: The New Order" (2014) on PS4. This is not bad game at all , settings are pretty unique, story is also kinda fresh, game mechanics can be clumsy at times, but they are OK to. Graphics won't blow you away, but they are pretty OK. Sound design, voice acting were also OK, nothing great. So why only 7/10 ? Because this is a pretty standard FPS - it doesn't bring anything new to the table. Also more depth character development would done this game a favor - i wasn't attached to anyone. The story while it is OK, it didn't really engaged my into. And while there are some weapon upgrades, lack of any more developed weapon progress system or skills didn't helped this game either.

Overall, "Wolfenstein: The New Order" is not bad pretty standard and straightforward shooter. It doesn't bring anything better, but for what it was it was OK to play it once.

This game is awesome. Story, gameplay and graphics are all good I just want the boss battles to better but apart from that it's a 9/10.
