A high quality, brutal FPS.
While I don’t have as much enthusiasm for The New Order as some people seem to, I still consider it a really good game, especially put in the context of its 2014 release. For starters, W:TNO has undeniable atmosphere. The graphics are good, the technology designs and set pieces are pure eye-candy… It takes its sweet time to build its world and characters, telling its story through cutscenes and playable sections devoid of combat, and ends up being very compelling as a result. Also, despite being a pulpy tale featuring alternate history, giant robots and eccentric characters, W:TNO has no qualms about putting the most horrifying aspects of the Nazi ideology on display, so brace yourself for some very crude scenes. The gunplay is very straightforward and satisfying. The awesome thing is that pretty much any weapon can be dual-wielded and handles like an anti-aircraft gun, tearing through walls and Nazis alike and unleashing chaos with each pull of the trigger! The stealth system is pretty simple, but it’s very functional and overall one of the most enjoyable I’ve seen in an FPS game – plus, it’s always an option and never forced upon you! However, I found TNO’s campaign to have a weird pace (it’s not uncommon to have long intervals between firefights), and uneven game design at times. The combat areas and enemy placement feel hit or miss: a few combat zones are just kind of empty and uninteresting, making for bland hostile encounters, and the game overrelies on bullet-spongy enemy types as a cheap way to amp up the challenge. It’s the type of game that makes you want to go all guns blazing, but instead mostly encourages you to cower behind cover. So yeah, W:TNO can be rough around the edges… But in both its gameplay and its storytelling, it’s a compelling, daring and uncompromising game, even more so considering that it was released in a time when this type of old school shooter was not in fashion anymore. Every FPS enthusiast out there should give it a try.
