- XboxEra7.0Wolfenstein II: The New Order is almost great but is held back by a number of issues. A few design choices Machine Games made far too often took me out of the game and frustrated me to no end. For such a great feeling game, the lack of damage indicators to and from enemies made the game feel off far too many times.
- Way Too Many Games8.0More than just an impressive port of an excellent game, the Switch version of Wolfenstein II is a statement that anything is possible in that little console if you put enough effort and care into your project. Despite its impressive performance and despite how fun it is blowing up nazi brains on-the-go, I wouldn’t recommend making this port your main version of Wolfenstein II, however. If you’ve never played the game before, check out the PC or console versions instead. The Switch version is great but it’s clearly inferior to the others: grab it if you really want to have an extra copy of this excellent shooter on-the-go.
Gamer reviews
A good attempt by Panic Button
I'm not going to sully this review by comparing it to the other console ports (which is an apples to oranges comparison). I have a Switch Lite, so I also don't have to be concerned about whatever it looks like on a 1080p or greater display. I'm rating it an 9 because Wolfenstein II holds up well against the masterful Switch port of Doom Eternal, but taken as it is, it demonstrates the Switch's surprising ability to do FPS well and Panic Button's continued demonstrated ability to crank out quality ports. I'm impressed at what graphical and audio fidelity they were able to eke out despite the Switch hardware limitations. It does a great job compared to the glitchy \[though loveable\] mess of the Crysis Remastered Trilogy. The Switch may be yesterday's news in terms of hardware, but devs are learning it through and through and are increasingly able to perform miracles on it. Gameplay wise, nothing has suffered and we still have the excellent gunplay we all know and love. My only complaint thus far is that the game will freeze and crash sometimes when reading collectibles.
Great way to go back and forth with the timeline of this game
