Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Any game that lets you slaughter Nazis en masse and in particularly creative ways is A-okay in my book.

This game is easy because whenever you are about to die you just have to remember that you are playing as Billy Blazkowicz. If you are really about to die though just stop playing because Billy doesn't die.

I played The New Order and I really liked it. I wanted more of that so I bought this game. I really, really wanted to like it but I can't bring myself to do that. They completely botched the stealth which was my favourite part in The New Order. I have more thoughts on this but I don't really have the energy to write more. This is just an inferior version of Doom 2016

This game is very very fun, I'd highly recommend but only if: - You like short action packed shooter games with a strong emphasis on fighting - Blowing up Nazis (which is the core premise of Wolfenstein) - a cheesy Hollywood-esque plot - Fighting Nazis and most importantly, blowing up Nazis The graphics in this game are superb and arguably hold up really well today. The levels look really superb and the pacing is, for the most part, maintained reasonably well throughout the game. It's enjoyable, the levels (for the most part) are unique and fun to fight in and who doesn't like using laser weapons to explode a dozen Nazis. Some issues I had facing the game was it occasionally telling that it "had ran out of graphic storage space" or something on that line but I just ignored it. I've had nothing bad happen after continuing to play it so I guess its chill? 10/10

This is a masterpiece. Although I am old enough to have played the original Wolfenstein, I have not. The New Order was my first and I enjoyed that a lot. Arguably the story is a little better, but this is rock solid as well. The complexity of the environment, the diversity, the textures and the color. They are all 9,5/10 in my book. Just gorgeous. Not to mention the voices, the acting and the game itself. Killing Nazis is just a bonus for this amazing experience. I have played this 4 times and my girlfriend twice. I cannot recommend this more. It's my top 3 favorite games of all time for this genre with RDR2 and Metro Exodus. I can't even think of one serious negative side of it. I hope I will be playing this a long time from now

Stomp a fascist. Hit a fascist with a fire extinguisher. Blast a fascist with a big boomstick. Be very rude to a fascist. Richard Spencer hates this game.

Mid. They took the good parts of the new order and scattered it between a bunch of pandering slop. Grace's character writing feels racist cause of how unbearable every scene with her in it is. Also why in the hell is the pregnant woman being sent out fighting? Its like no one on the writing team has seen someone 5+ months pregnant, let alone one pregnant with twins. In one scene she is written like a sickly victorian child that needs to sleep constantly and sounds like she is on the verge of throwing up and the next she is running around full speed with a 4 foot long big ass rifle after jumping out of a helicopter, then she gets topless and covered in blood after blowing up a squad of nazis and the near unkillable flamethrower dog robot that the devs love to throw at you with only 2 grenades in a cheesey and really forced cutscene where for some reason BJ suddenly has the reaction time of a dead deer. Its like they flipped a coin on who was going to write each segment for the game except the people who actually knew how to write a good story had to win 2 coin flips in a row to be allowed to write. they flesh out BJs backstory really well and venus fit wolfensteins theme pretty well, but then you have litteraly anything with grace in it and it is like hearing nails on a chalkboard because it feels like she was written by an HOA wine mom who talked to a black person at walmart one time and now wants to try to be hip with the kids, and she litteraly does not change at all until the final like, hour of the game (plus all but one character seems to care about her being an absolute bitch to everyone around her) Also the level design is complete and utter dog ass. It looks pretty but they love to hide important interactables amongst a bunch of random junk (like a generic computer terminal model with a small button or lever being at some random point amongst a bunch of other, near identical generic computer terminals with fake buttons and whatever). And they love to hide objectives and level exits behind weird pathways that are tucked in random corners or amongst doors that arent real. They also love to design levels to loop around to the start for no fucking reason. Like, I spent 10 minutes running in a giant circle twice trying to find the pathway forwards just to realize that it was a random door nowhere near where any of the enemies I had just fought were. If you can get it on sale its alright. Play it on easy or something and have fun shredding nazis. I say play it on easy because the games hardest points arent hard because they are the fun kind of hard, they are hard because the devs drain your ammo and health then throw massive bullet sponges at you that deal a gazillion damage.

sloppy enemies logic/mechanic. fun cutscenes

The Game is really fun Although the end was a little dissapointing.

This game is a technical mess. Sound issues that insist on being in surround during all cutscenes so you can't hear dialogue. Only way to fix this is to do a workaround in your computers software. Keep in mind you never had issues with any other game or program, just this game. Then the game has vram issues. Once again, never had issues with any other game, just this one.

Grace is easily the worst part of this game. Gameplay is alright, story is eh.

the story is lame and the twists is cool but the gameplay was bad overall 5\10 "waste of time tbh"

Constantly Freezes with my 5080 to the point where it's unplayable...I've tried everything to fix it and nothing has worked...yet another reason to NEVER buy games at FULL price...

just play the first two games dont bother playing this, crashes alot, gameplay and story are a massive downgrade from previous games in the series.

beautiful graphics, overall a pretty fun game. some odd bugs here and there. 8/10

This game will always be my favorite shooters. Not only does this game provide super cool weapons and gameplay you also have to be strategic.

The often criticized sequel to the beloved New Order, New Colossus is not undeserving of SOME critique. Such as the final boss being really terribly built up, I didn't even realize it was the boss until it was dead and some weapons being a bit dull or just not too interesting, such as the Magnum Pistol and Heated SMG. But overall? An excellent game. Its got lower lows than TNO, but TNC has higher highs. Its gunplay is excellent, its got a nice few biting points with its story and political stance, and the story being fun with some nice characters. Its goofier than TNO, but I feel works with it well. I wouldn't say its better than TNO, but its able to stand near enough to it for it to be a matter of preference. A game well worth playing.

Exceptionally well made game. Talented bunch of dev's. Quality of the art/ animation/ game systems is absolute top notch. Get's very arcadey and a bit silly/ over the top. Wolfenstein was always a bit like that but this goes to the extreme of the absurd at times. Overall a very well crafted experience that's worth a go if you like FPS's.

Doom guys grandpa is hella awesome. And blood and gore is normal. I love this game. Mick Gordon you are a goat for the soundtrack for the new order.

good writing and worldbuilding gunplay is not as good as TNO or OB difficulty increased just because enjoyable

One of the greatest games I've ever played, artistic direction and stylizing is amazing as well as combat system it's recommended by my side :)

AMAZING GAME hitler was so retarded definitley buy this if its on sale

Had this game on my watchlist for ages and finally got around to playing it. Amazing story, funny characters, cool dialogues, quality cutscenes, good level design, and a very satisfying combat system. Playing it as a German (or at least knowing both German and English) is peak, since you understand everything without needing the translation. Sadly, I haven’t played the prequel yet, but I might pick it up next. Big recommend

The writing for the characters is all over the place, some levels are just unnecessarily difficult, there is way too much unnecessary bullsh*t going on and my god Grace has to be one of the most insufferable characters yet. The only positive is that you get to slaughter nazis and thats hella fun.

I want to play the game, it looks really good... but ive crashed 14 times in 3 hours of playing and its just unbearable. Also the game is awful at telling you where you need to go i keep getting lost maybe im just a moron

Over the top shooter with completely ridicolous story and cast which makes it insanely fun to play. Gameplay is great graphics are good

Legitimately fantastic game, with great gunplay, and a gripping story

Every single cut scene or death there's a freeze. So also a restart of a part you just completed. No solutions so far after 3 years. If not the freezes the game is fun to play and has awesome story but at this staqte its unplayable...

very fun, i like sneaking up on people and killing them, i hate the big robot with gernade launchers and flamethrowers. story is good. WOULD RECOMMEND

Outstanding! From combat to gameplay to visuals, everything feels deeply carved.

I love this game im also a big WW2 fan and love learning more about it this adds a twist to history and makes it work lovely game.

Pretty good, allot of action and big scenes/fights, very short and ends abruptly.

A modern FPS masterpiece. Singleplayer FPS games like this are not common anymore.

obra maestra, una joya, literalmente coronado de gloria junto al Doom Eternal.

Wolfenstein II remains visually stunning, delivering impressive graphics alongside consistently smooth performance. The gameplay experience is seamless, offering solid frame rates and responsiveness throughout.

It's a very good first person shooter game. Gameplay is great and there's a good dark story with quirky characters and also some humor.. Play the game with a keyboard and mouse because it's much harder to beat it with a xbox controller..

Best depiction of Hitler ever (Venus scene). And I say that as a german.

Fun gameplay overshadowed by completely dogshit writing, killed the series

This game is awful, and absolutely tarnishes what New Order had built. For the love of god, skip this game. I gave up at the submarine hub being sent back and forth like an errand boy collecting information through that gd labyrinth of nonsense. You'd think being newer it would be better, but it isn't. It runs worse than it's predecessor, and plays worse too. Skip it.

As mentioned by a lot of others, there is a fair bit of anti-white bigotry in this game. The developers echoed a lot of this anti-white racism during their promotion of the game.

Don't buy it at full price. Wait for sale less than 8 hours to beat the main story line. Didn't like the BLF stuff, any race that believes one is above the other is terrible. And some girl boss stuff kinda ridiculous. Other than that, its a okay game. New order was better.

I think this game was actually made by the nazis to destroy my computer because I am yankee scum. This game is a technical mess that just froze, didn't allow me to close the game in any way, and thus forced me to shut off my computer. The video memory bullshit was also a fucking nightmare to deal with and none of the solutions others have provided have worked for me (this may be my fault because I'm not a computer savvy person). The game itself is pretty good and I had a lot of fun (when it worked). Ever since it froze and forced me to shut off my computer, I have decided to give up on trying to finish it. I hope MachineGames have since released their domesticated spider-monkey that they forced to program the PC version of this game back into the wild.

Story, gameplay, everything is just... bad. I remember The New Order having a great story and great gunplay. The gunplay in this feels floaty and all enemies are damaged sponges. The story is incredibly aggravating, with even friendly characters treating you like poop, and they succeeded a little too well with the bad character. Maybe I could have forgiven them if I knew what I was buying but Wolfenstein: The New Order was a power fantasy where against all odds, no one could stop you. So I expected the sequel to be the same but better. Instead playing this game feels like playing Stephen King's Misery, a psychological horror where you are helpless to stop a disturbed women from sensually rubbing a gun around your mouth after shooting one of your allies. It's one sick mind f___ of a story and not what I thought I was buying.

was a lot of fun. i recommend everyone to play all wolfenstein games on a higher difficulty to turn them into a very strategic shooter. had the greatest fun like that

This game is genuinely one of the greatest i've ever played. The replayability is crazy and the various difficulties really challenge you in so many ways. Blazkowicz, through his actions and inner thoughts, portrays vengeance and tragedy so well its like you can really feel for him. Aside from the story, the gameplay is really addicting and the variety of the combat reveals Bethesda's genuine efforts into creating this game. They really needs to make more games like this cuz money would just be coming in nonstop.

This game supplement some of the best levels I've ever played with some of the most infuriating levels and level designs I have ever played. Do not play this game. It is not worth the struggle or pain that it has caused me.

I was really expecting some cool graphics and no crashes, but it is literally blurry as if someone is rubbing soap over my eyes AND it crashed 7 minutes after I launched the game. Downloading and playing it is a waste of time, REFUND

I wish there was a neutral option here as a choice for recommendations. First off, I liked W2. It built on the concepts introduced by TNO and TOB, but it feels like the game tried to be a bit too ambitious that it should have been, really. PROS + Awesome modern graphics with volumetric lighting and other eye candy + The voice acting is very good, and I liked the added NPC dialogues added to add a bit more depth to the lives of the resistance and the Nazis + The game isn't too long, unlike most modern games + You can kick Hitler in the head CONS - The story tries to expand on W1 in a way in which it doesn't do justice to its own premise. While I understand that linear shooters have limitations to their scope set by the level design and etc., the devs tried to go around this by inserting cinematic cutscenes, which...they didn't really land for me. I feel like they were edited very strangely, with extremely random cuts and scenes which should have been part of the regular gameplay. While in W1 the story is very tense, here there are so many tonal changes that they feel as if the directors kept being replaced during development. This makes the whole game, which wants to focus on the story, uneven, and honestly, boring some times. The first half is especially terrible with BJ going full emo. - The gameplay segments aren't varied. You go from Nazi bunker to Nazi bunker most of the game, with some more interesting sights in the second half, but those don't make up for the first 5 hours or more of gameplay. In W1, there were different set pieces sprinkled in with the regular shooting, going from one interesting location or gameplay segment to another. Here that's, sadly, not really the case. - Too many collectibles with haphazard placing. - Too many commanders, also haphazardly placed. Wherein in the first game they'd be tucked away in secret rooms, here they just wander around. Additionally, there are far too many of them, as if the game was trying to push the player to be all stealthy, while having levels and a stealth system that's just not well thought out. - I don't think the guns are great. They don't feel substantial. The hit indicator is also terrible, you really don;t know from where you're being hit sometimes. - I get that the devs probably wanted to make BJ's body more...real, in a sense...but with mouse controls, his movements are jerky and it feels like he gets caught on random stuff in the environment. This makes some powerups more annoying than they should be. - The powerups. So I thought that the levels would be built in a way in which they would use the three existing power ups in creative ways but they don't really matter at all in the grand scheme of things. - Not much mysticism compared to W1, which was an interesting part of that game. - The enigma machine - For a game that tried to sell you on a revolution, there's not much of it in it Don't get me wrong, I wrote quite a lot of cons here...so why do I still recommend it? Despite its flaws, it's an ok FPS. Could have been better, but honestly, if you just want to kill some Nazis and robots, you can't go wrong. It's not a bad game, it's just disappointing as a sequel. 6/10

Great game, but way too short, it only took me 10 hours to complete, and the story felt a bit lacking compared to the previous game. would recommend besides that though

This game could have been pretty good, yet despite interesting concepts and ideas, the game falls short of them in many areas. Gameplay: feels like a step down from TNO, since enemies either are bullet sponges or encounters just tend to get pretty overwhelming quickly. Mind you, I don't mind large amounts of enemies, but TNC just doesn't strike the same balance as TNO did. Story: easily the most forgettable, in the best case, and infuriating, at worst, aspect of the game. TNC is all about killing Nazis - so why do we have to have contemporary leftist-politics with obnoxiously patronizing characters inserted in an already pretty clear message? Is killing tons of Nazis not left enough? It feels one sided and mostly annoying. Having the story optional such as System Shock 1 would actually be a net positive in this game. Without a doubt it also gets more and more silly, the further the game goes on. It feels like a fanfiction written by a radical communist-feminist at times. It is still not as bad as Young Blood, tho that isn't a particularly high bar to cross. Overall a strong let-down. Graphics: neat. Is it worth it? - Get it at a discount and enjoy. Still tons of Nazi-Killing with cool guns and a ton of interesting scenery in this alternate history setting. Shame tho how cringey characters and politics had to drag down what is otherwise a cool franchise.
