Wolfenstein: The New Order was a bold, flawed attempt to reinvent the first-person shooter that kickstarted the genre. Taking place in an alternate history where the Nazis won the war, long-time protagonist B.J.

If there was a Mt. Rushmore of gaming, William "B.J." Blazkowicz's face would be plastered on it beside Mario, and the other founding fathers of gaming. Wolfenstein was one of the first-person shooters that laid down the foundations for what the genre has become, and B.J.

B.J; Blazkowicz gets a much-needed backstory, Controls and gunplay are tighter than ever, Overall the story is enthralling, Lots of Nazis to Kill

This hatred is fully earned by some increasingly disturbing imagery that defines the opening moments of The New Colossus . These moments, which are so grotesque that I wound up looking away from my television screen at several points, are why the game's brutal acts of violence become so satisfying...

You get to kill a lot of Nazis; Surprisingly extensive post-game where you get to kill even more Nazis; Memorable Nazi killing moment after memorable Nazi killing moment

Lacks a big finale

Buy Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus The Wolfenstein franchise has always been about killing Nazis. Wolfenstein: The New Order and its sequel Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus are all about Nazis being evil monsters who need to be obliterated.

Hit detection and feedback on taking damage is poor; Slightly overstays its welcome

When MachineGames went back to Wolfenstein with The New Order back in 2014, they did the first-person shooter genre a great service. The follow-up DLC, The Old Blood, was a feather in their cap to celebrate their no-nonsense approach to shooting Nazis.

Compelling story; Weapon wheel; Weapon upgrades

No multiplayer; Switching guns can feel clumsy; Easy to get stuck on objects

Wolfenstein II is packed full of great and memorable moments, not only in the story it tells but also the combat it presents. From walking the streets of Roswell, New Mexico and seeing KKK members walking together with Nazis to sneaking up on an unexpected soldier only to gruesomely amputate and...

In 1946, the greatest war in human history came to a close with the Axis forces being victorious and the German National Socialist Party took control of the world. Wait, that doesn't sound right?

Fun and intense gameplay; Runs buttery smooth; Decent story; Great supporting cast of characters

A few difficulty spikes; The odd enemy lag glitch
