Wolfenstein: The New Order

I bought this in the hopes that this release would have an option to raise/remove the FPS cap, which isn't this case. This is game is locked at 60hz. For some people this is a non-issue, but for me it makes the title a no-go, sadly.

I somehow missed out on MachineGames' take on the Wolfenstein franchise and I regret it like crazy now. THE NEW ORDER is a story-centric FPS that takes place in an alternate history where Germany won the Second World War. You play as Captain Blazkowicz as he joins the resistance against this new world order, which amounts to you gunning down scores of Nazi soldiers, supersoldiers, and robots. That alone would be fun enough, but THE NEW ORDER boasts a tremendously engaging story and interesting characters to carry you through the length of the game. For a game that does not skimp on the outrageous, it also does *not* shy away from an honest narrative that treats the violence, dehumanization, and sundry other depravities in which the Nazis often engaged with admirable realism. I'll be thinking about THE NEW BLOOD for some time. As for the GOG version of the game: I have no point of reference for how the game is supposed to perform, and I've heard its initial launch six years ago was fraught with instability. In my experience, the game generally performed well. No crashes or freezing during gameplay. The biggest problems I had were cinematics freezing when the level in the background was finished loading. I also felt like the sound mixing was messed up, since some things seemed quieter than they should've been, voices were almost unintelligible during actiony sections, and a handful of sound effects seemed to be missing.

This ran fine on my 12400F, SSD, 16Gb DDR5, RTX3080 - the problem was I completed it in 23 hours of gaming! Forget free roaming and butterfly effect - this is a plain run forward and shoot game. If you want that, then go for it.

- Lots of time wasted by being force to collect stuff - Terrible stealth - Sound mixing is off - Has some of the least satisfijng guns to use (with exeption of assault rifle) - Controll are terrible (both keay biding and feel, it is like being on ice all the time and jumping is completly off) - Story is uninteresting - Loading times are quite long - Game is ether cake walk or fight against bullet sponges, nothing in between - Game crashed atleast 1 per level - Repetetive """"puzzles""" - Entire levels of doing nothing - LaserKraftWerk + It looks nice + Assault rifle + Voice acting is good for most time One of the worse FPS I played, and it felt like the game was embared by being FPS

I HAD TO CONTACT SOMEONE FROM SUPPORT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY HAD TO UNLOCK THEM MANUALLY THAT IS AFTER I SENT THEM A LIST. I RECOMMEND YOU BUY THE STEAM VERSION INSTEAD AND AVOID THE HASSLE.
