Wolfenstein: The New Order

i cannot evey get through chapter 2 all the assets are reused so badly everything looks the same and i keep walking back to the start. how bad of a designer do you have to be for that to occur?

Like many, I purchased the two pack on sale; started with Old Blood and had zero issues. Right after beating Old Blood, started the New Order. For the most part, it was smooth sailing with New Order, and the game runs fairly well (ran at mostly ultra settings, with zero crashes, and a constant 1440p 60fps on a i5 6600k and 1070 with 16GB RAM); it seems the patch everyone is talking about is pre-applied to the game and is no longer an issue. That said, the long loading times still exist. Whereas Old Blood had neglible load times (e.g. between deaths), New Order still has significant load times (by modern standards) after every death or reload. Generally, load times were betwen 20ish seconds and over a minute (both games running off a HDD WD Black). Such long load times likely could be frustrating for some players (especially when playing on higher difficulties). Second issue is that Achievements appear to be broken in New Order. While in Old Blood I regularly unlocked achievements (though the GOG Galaxy overlay never popped up to notify me), New Order failed to unlock any achievements for me even upon completion of the game--despite many of the achievements appearing to be tied to progression of the campaign. If these relatively minor gripes don't bother you, then absolutely grab and play this game. The gunplay is smooth and crisp, and it still looks fairly good for a 2014 game. There are also perks which are unlocked through gameplay (e.g. get 5 silent kills) though their effect doesn't impact the gameplay too much (I played through Old Blood without knowing that it even had perks until halfway through). Even better, the story is engaging and relatively well told, and will likely keep you hooked up until the end.

Game froze two times in the tutorial. AAA-gaming in its best.

I'm obviously late to the party, but man what a game! Sure the engine and graphics might be a little dated but the storyline and character development is fantastic - it's not just another run of the mill shooter, and what a fun shooter it still is! The ending.... outstanding and moving!!

While I haven't finished the game as of this writing, I think I played enough to write a review. This game has good story, graphics, sound design, overall gameplay, but! I have one issue with it. While stealth is optional in this game, the game encourages you to be as stealthy as possible, but it sadly lacks elements found in other games with optional or mandatory stealth, like detection indicators, a way to mark or locate enemies out of view, that kind of stuff. But, if you don't care about stealth, you can just go all guns blazing, and you won't miss a lot of the experience.
