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.

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

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus begins with the father of B.J. Blazkowicz, the hero of the franchise. Blazkowicz is a child, and he's about to learn the extent of his father's hatred after being caught playing with a young friend. A young female friend. A friend who is black.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus builds on the first game, making for another superb linear first-person shooter campaign. It's an empowering journey that BJ goes on-rising from his near death experience from The New Order to be stronger than ever, befriending others who are just as tough and ready...

Despite a flawed final act, Wolfenstein II is a master class in storytelling, and a thrilling scifi shooter.

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

A few difficulty spikes; The odd enemy lag glitch

Bethesda's new Wolfenstein sequel is even more over-the-top than before, and it's also one of the best shooters of the year.

Incredibly assured story elements that tackle serious subjects and toilet humour with equal aplomb; Excellent combat, augmented by optional stealth and non-linear exploration

The wildly shifting tone sometimes struggles to connect, and some plot points don't quite work as intended; Samey visuals fail to complement the excellent level design

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...
