Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Digital Deluxe Edition

I really don't understand the culture wars on here. This is a bloody game people. If you get triggered because of wokeness or lack thereof, you are all a bunch of snowflakes and maybe you should start considering that the people you are fighting on the other side are not that different from you, when it comes to your fanaticism. As a game it is OK, but it does not bring anything new to the franchise. It's visually beautiful, but weak, when it comes to level design, action and story. Play it, if you are a Wolfenstein fan or a casual FPS player. Play it, if you find it heavily discounted. Don't bother, if you have limited free time for games, there are better games to spend your precious free time on.

Here is an edit of my Steam review: If you like Mel Brook's The Producers (1967), Iron Sky or Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards, you will love this!! The New Colossus is (anti-=Nazi comedy in this vein. When evil Frau Engel enters the scene, you are in for ride! NC - more than the previous games- really enjoys to show off how schmuck these Nazis and their sympathizers are, when they think they are witty and funny. The Nazi-Dialogues and letters are so idioticly hilarious I'd been laughing hard most of the time and the ending (Ausmerzer and TV-Sation) is as over the top as it is satisfying - more than New Order!. Though it leaves the door open for a 4th game that will most likely never come. At the same time BJ is more human and soft-touched than ever and it suits him, the story, the characters around him and the contrast to the war he's fighting. The overall atmosphere is not nearly as bleak and oppressive as in New Order or Old Blood. I like it a lot what Machine Games did to the series! Gameplay-wise W:TNC brings nothing really new to the table, actually most of the fighting and scenery seems a bit too save and stepped back in scope, similar to what happened with Evil Within 2 and Dishonored 2 compared the first games. And with the map-replay-grinding of the Überkommander-elimination the game surely outstays it's welcome and then, the game expects you to play it again on the second, alternative timeline. Nevertheless, this is still a perfectly solid fun FPS with a bit of tactical depth and a great story.

As some reviewers have pointed out, it isn't as good a story as New Order. However it is still fun and a continuation of the main story line. The only issue I have is the coding from Bethesda. About 1 in every 5 launches will cause my gaming machine to completely lock up requiring a hard reset to get back control. Other than that it is an enjoyable game and good first person shooter overall.

I love killing Nazis, what more can I say?
