    The most memorable of these had to be the concentration camp running Frau Engel and her paramour Bubi, their creepy relationship and mind-games will haunt me for some time to come. So all in all, WTNO gets a big thumbs up from me and a strong recommendation for anyone whose love of FPS predates online multiplayer. If you fancy some Nazi squishing madness, this is definitely the one for you.

    In terms of replay value, Wolfenstein noticeably lacks any form of multiplayer, which is a shame considering its unique arsenal and solid combat mechanics. Since the game’s enemy AI and boss battles were so bland, multiplayer could have helped round things out in terms of satiating our need to blow things away with futuristic Nazi weaponry. Instead of multiplayer encouraging you to keep playing, Wolfenstein offers choices you must make for B.J. which tremendously change the plot.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a blast from the past that many will surely see as a breath of fresh air. While some archaic design choices and patience-testing difficulty spikes will attempt to compromise your enjoyment on occasion, the moments to follow generally smooth over any past transgressions. It's a campaign built around memorable settings, circumstances and characters, with gameplay that allows for the freedom and variety to keep things fresh and interesting throughout.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is fantastic and one of the best narrative-driven FPS games I have played since Bioshock. Taking these characters and settings and crafting a compelling single-player experience was an amazing feat; crafting a Wolfenstein game that I cared about without multiplayer was a miracle. I cannot recommend The New Order enough.

    Limited graphical and audio faults aside, altogether, Wolfenstein; The New Order is a very good game — a true gem among shooters in a sickening sea of shooters. A story that captures interest and characters that hold it until the end, gameplay that falls somewhere between Killzone, Call of Duty, and Duke Nukem, and a complete focus on the single player experience create a roughly 10 hour campaign full of Nazi slaying goodness.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a surprisingly strong shooter that aspires to be more than its premise should allow. While it can only do so much with its cliché magnet of a story, and its graphics don’t hold up to close inspection at times, it’s easy to overlook these shortcomings in the face of everything else that it does well. As a result, the inspired but disturbing world, excellent roster of characters, and exhilarating action make it very easy to recommend this over-the-top rampage.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order

    BLOOD, FIRE, AND METAL! Killing Nazis has never been this fun! A 9-10 hours of gun-blazing action.  You can play either be a "RAMBO" or just plain stealth-like "SNAKE" except for some boss fights. The game lets you decide on how you will play the game. From what weapon to use, like having just a knife if you want some stealth action or a silenced handgun. To a loud assault rifle or a shotgun for barraging enemies. You can also dual wield weapons by picking up weapons from your dead enemies. Strategize how you will defeat the enemy by studying the area. Discover secret passages and use it to your advantage. Story-wise, I skipped most of the cutscenes since I felt bored due to its plain vengeance story and technologically advanced "what ifs" throughout its plot.

    Well realized and executed first-person action, set in a shockingly brutal, bleak, and bloody alternative history. A fun story, great feeling gameplay, and bombastic set pieces make this "Wolfenstein" a keeper.

    Wolfenstein The New Order is a great first person shooter action game it's a bit like an action movie with non stop action and intense gun battles with strong foes. The gun play is smooth and fluid and you enjoy shooting the nazi's more in this new installment in the franchise. The only thing i don't like is that there aren't many boss fights in the game. And there are less guns for an Action game like this. But other than that, this is a great FPS game. And A must try. 8.5 from me :+1:

    A good shooter game that suffers mostly from outdated graphics, The New Order is an entertaining new game in the beloved Wolfenstein series. But, is "good" enough for a series that is known for kickstarting the FPS genre? Don't get me wrong - the gunplay is fun, but it could've been way better. There's just something about it that makes it feel a bit unsatisfying compared to something like DOOM 2016. Add to this that some enemies are literal bullet sponges. At least the story is good, but it's not something that's going to score the game any awards. If you're looking for a new shooter to play, this game might be what you're looking for. But wait for a sale.
