In 1946 Captain BJ Blazkowitz U.S. military is on a mission with Richard Wesly to retrieve a folder containing the location of Deathshead's compound. The whole game took me under 6 hours to complete and is a really nice (prequal) compliment to New Order. In fact, I might prefer this game to New Ordee. The first mission after the prologue has a bit of an overreliance on stealth, but after you get some guns it's alright. Every gun is from the first level of Wolfenstein: the New Order and feels perfectly punchy, are super satisfying to shoot, and have their own situational use. At the beginning of most encounters you get a reminder that the enemy doesn't know your here yet. That means that you can, optionally, sneakily take out the one or two nazis that call reinforcements and then go guns blazing. The shootouts will have you: throwing knives and grenades, mowing down hordes nazis with guns, running out of bullets, changing guns on the fly to mow down more nazis, and it's so fun. After the shootouts you're back to proceeding to the next location to progress the story. The levels in this game look really good. From the dank dungeons, to the castle tunnels, to the bridge, the cozy town, the fucking cemetery its all very atmospheric. The story is pretty grounded this time around, until the end, again just providing more incentives to kill nazis. The way the stakes keep rising and you're combat gets more violent really kept me engaged the whole way through. I loved this game and I really wouldn't skip it if you plan on playing any of the 3 newer Wolfenstein games.Updated 5 Months Ago
