"I really wanted to love this, but it just became a chore." I went into Wolfenstein: The New Order wanting to absolutely love it, especially with all the hype surrounding the reboot of BJ Blazkowicz. But honestly? The execution left me deeply frustrated, and by the end, I was just glad it was over.

As an American writing this in October of 2025, playing this game is very cathartic and reminds me of the good ol' days when Nazis were the bad guys. Good times. I am having fun with this for what I paid ($4), for sure.

It's 2026 and there has never been a better time to blow up Nazis. Incredibly fun gameplay with a story that has no right to be as compelling as it is. Rich and varied characters. Doesn't overstay its welcome.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is a great FPS game with satisfying shooting, a surprisingly good story and a unique alternate-history setting. The weapons feel powerful, the characters are memorable and the campaign stays interesting from start to finish. The story was much better than I expected and personally, I enjoyed it a lot more than The Old Blood because it had stronger characters and a more engaging campaign. …

The game is good and I liked it, it's a really good shooter - meat, swearing, etc. The graphics are good in my opinion, the machines and Nazis look perfectly scary - these huge robots look terrifying, but that's great, it works for the atmosphere. The game also has a lot of great jokes and the plot is presented in a cool way. The impact of the weapons is the best, everything gets blown apart, etc. The only memorable …

Been on a fun little kick playing the Sniper Elite series and the Wolfenstein series and want some suggestions for what can replace it once I run out of campaign missions to do in those games. While I would love to replay the campaign missions of COD, I ain't paying like $30-60 for a two decade plus old game from EA. While I do prefer shooting nazi nazis, I don't mind suggestions that have you shooting fascists in general.…
