Wolfenstein®: The New Order reignites the series that created the first-person shooter genre. Under development at MachineGames, a studio comprised of a seasoned group of developers recognized for their work creating story-driven games, Wolfenstein offers a deep game narrative packed with action, adventure and first-person combat.
Intense, cinematic and rendered in stunning detail with id® Software’s id Tech® 5 engine, Wolfenstein sends players across Europe on a personal mission to bring down the Nazi war machine. With the help of a small group of resistance fighters, infiltrate their most heavily guarded facilities, battle high-tech Nazi legions, and take control of super-weapons that have conquered the earth – and beyond.
Key Features:
The Action and Adventure Wolfenstein's breath-taking set pieces feature storming a beachfront fortress on the Baltic coast, underwater exploration, player-controlled Nazi war machines, and much more – all combined to create an exhilarating action-adventure experience.
The Story and Characters Hi-octane action and thrilling adventure weaved together into a tightly paced, super immersive game narrative featuring memorable characters.
The History and Setting Set against a backdrop of an alternate 1960s, discover an unfamiliar world ruled by a familiar enemy—one that has changed and twisted history as you know it.
The Arsenal and Assault Break into secret research facilities and heavily guarded weapon stashes to upgrade your tools of destruction. Experience intense first-person combat as you go up against oversized Nazi robots, hulking Super Soldiers and elite shock troops.
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!!
If you're looking for a game that has anything at all to do with Wolfenstein, then you can forget this thing. After playing for about 10 minutes I quit the game and immediately deleted it from my hard drive. The original Wolfenstein 3-D from 30 years ago was, of course, absolutely great. The sequel, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, was also outstanding. This game, though, is nothing but loud noise, endless fast moving cinematics, constant ridiculous shouting at you, stupid goals to achieve, and an all around feeling that you're having your hand held. It's a perfect example of how culture has changed over the years. The constant noise and dumb eye candy is annoying. The game is 45 GB when installed, and 44 GB of that must be cinematics and a huge library of very loud noises. It's really nothing like any of the previous Wolfenstein games. Sorry I bought it.
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.
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.
