Groovy, Baby - Wolfenstein: The New Order Review

Post by Steve Farrelly @ 01:55pm 20/05/14 | 33 Comments

MachineGames' Wolfenstein treatment has been an up-in-the-air prospect ever since it was unveiled. Veteran shooter fans will always be happy to sink their teeth into a game borne from the grandaddy of all shooters, but it's also fondly remembered as a multiplayer goldenchild with Enemy Territory -- a facet The New Order does not carry over.

But it's not all doom and gloom. In fact, all signs point to a solid and enjoyable single-player romp with replayability up the wazoo, thanks to Nathan Lawrence's review of the game for us. We won't mince words, you're better off just reading his.

Here's my review: You blow s*** up and kill Nazi's, the PC version looks gorgeous and guns shoot people. Also lots of gore. Fun corridor-ish shooter, has a bit of tactic to it and you can stealth if you want to (even rewards you through perk upgrades).

Looks good, but the gameplay and AI looks pathetic. Won't be buying.

Just finished the campaign yesterday. Many hours were sunk into it over the weekend. Fantastic game. I haven't had a single player game interest me this much in quite a while so for me to actually sit down and finish over a weekend is saying something. I'm also not much of a replayer but think I will be with this one.

I also really enjoyed the cut scenes and story telling in it.

A mental block regarding what I think a Wolfenstein game should be and what this game is, is preventing me from enjoying it much as I'd like to.

In saying that its a great SP shooter that's tons of fun. It's best feature is it's ability to allow the player to switch between fast pace shooting action to slow stealth and allowing that switch to be completely optional. The AI is dumb as dog s*** and it's the games greatest weakness.
