A fall from grace
It's a shame how they botched it. The game is less of a shooter than the prevous installments - it is clearly just an excuse to aggressively shove left-wing ideology and political leaning in your face. It makes it extremely annoying, spoils the story (also, Blazko's family backgrounds story is such a politically cynical bs) and, unfortunately, in terms of quality anticipates the failed follow-ups in the Wolfenstein series released later.

Cause it makes them cry (+ a solid game)
It looks and plays as well today (4 years since release) as good as nearly any modern day AAA title out there. The guns are familiar Wolfenstein fair, more of a good thing with some more of that insane alternate WW2 history we all know and love. And no kidding, this is some of the best voice acting I've seen in my life. Writing aside (which is pretty solid) the verisimilitude is far beyond what you find in most video games. Stellar voice work all around. It's a fun game with a ton of "wtf" moments that will amaze all but the most jaded edgelords. But the fact that certain fragile sensibilities are enraged (by some pretty believable depictions of what American guerrillas might look and sound like in the face of a Nazi regime on US soil) makes it all the more enjoyable. Seems they cant even put aside their rabid ideologies long enough to enjoy a fictitious video game, but that's okay – some people are just very sensitive. Those who can appreciate a fun ride, some solid gun play and capable storytelling will enjoy this. Those who carry their political dogmas with them everywhere clutched in their trembling fingers like a police whistle, they might be in for a bumpy ride.

Help Make America Nazi Free!
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus is a fantastic mix of great action gameplay combing modern and traditional shooter mechanics, a strong cast of fun characters, and a story actually daring to put the still ongoing threat of fascism front and center for the audience to behold. Yes, it's "alternative history", but one deliberately evoking the bygone era of late 50's/early 60's America and showcasing how disturbingly comfortable many people would be Nazism prevailing. It's best encapsulated with the main character's father, who whines about the coloreds and the Jews and the queers keeping him down while abusing his own family. He's not a Nazi, but happily supports them after they conquer America, as do many other bigots and cowards who don't fall into one of the groups marked for extermination. Rank and file Nazi soldiers are humanized in a way that does NOT detract from their atrocities and instead serve as a stark reminder that "normal" people are capable of heinous acts when what's "normal" is so horrible. It's true to history as a common defense of concentration camp guards was they were "only doing their job". By bringing the focus closer to home, in an "alternate" America with dashes of the modern world slipped in, it unnerves those who prefer to remain willfully ignorant and only see the threat of Nazism as something far away and defeated long ago. It's also just a fun game in its own right, with a wide variety of fun, upgradable weapons and new abilities to slaughter Nazis with. It's not perfect by any means. There's issues with pacing out your new abilities, I'm not a fan of the "perk" system, and stealth is very wiggy compared to previous games. But I'm hard pressed to think of a better way to get catharsis after being forced to glimpse the horrors of Nazism then dual-wielding triple-barreled shotguns and turning them into a fine red paste! Also the standard edition is likely a better value. The DLC episodes are just too thin to justify the price for most.
