The sequel to the fantastic Wolfenstein: The New Order is here, with BJ Blazkowicz leading the charge to reclaim the world taken over by the Nazi's in an alternative history setting in which Hitler had won World War II.

Superb; well told narrative; Impressive visual cinematic's; A lengthy (but not stretched out) campaign; Easy to pick up and play; challenging to master

Difficulty can be infuriating at times; No multiplayer (but don't let that put you off

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: The New Colossus is part war drama, part sci-fi shooter power fantasy and all parts bat-shit crazy – in a very good way.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus picks up after the events of 2014's alternative-history first-person shooter The New Order . Unfortunately, things did not pan out as expected following the events of that game: despite having mowed down hordes of Nazis and seemingly saved the day, hero BJ Blazkowicz...

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

Audio issues are annoying; Tags

BJ Blaskowicz is the epitome of the Aryan Übermensch: blond, steel blue eyes, big as a house, and with the chiseled features of a Greek god. How ironic then that BJ is also the biggest threat the Third Reich has ever faced.

The Wolfenstein franchise was seemingly resurrected from the dead in 2014 when Machine Games launched The New Order. The game hit all the right notes in terms of nostalgia, while offering players a brand new experience and fresh take on the series in terms of narrative.

Story & characters well written and often hilarious; Array of weaponry is fun to use; Fantastic soundtrack

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

I never thought I'd be sitting here writing about how my favourite thing about the new Wolfenstein game was that it had a fantastic story and characters. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is the follow-up to 2014's The New Order, and while the tradition of fantastic, well designed shooter gameplay is...

This is not only a fact of our actual world, but a fact within the world of the Wolfenstein games as well. For the decades that the game franchise has existed, players have slaughtered countless computerized Nazis in a myriad of brutal and bloody ways.
