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.

Coming from a market where thoughtless shooters and pay-to-play online games are dominant, I found that Wolfenstein: The New Order was a wonderful breath of fresh air. The writing in the game is excellent, giving a compelling narrative that distinguishes this game from others on the market today, and allows you to understand more about the B.J. Blazkowicz that we've come to know and love over the decades. The ethical dilemmas presented in the game add a dimension not seen in previous incarnations, and help enormously with the replay value. The graphics were decent (probably look better on next-gen systems) and game play is smooth. The only drawback I found was the somewhat tedious task of stockpiling ammo, armor, and health packs, but this hearkens back to the earlier games, so some may find it more charming. Overall, I would highly recommend this game for purchase and look forward to many hours of replay.

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.
