Wolfenstein: The New Order shows that we can trust that Bethesda and Machine Games can handle the franchise. The review is coming from a person, who played Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein. Now, let's list the pluses in W:TNO.
1)Nice graphics.
2)Good voice acting.
3)Better story.
4)Awesome gameplay, that mixes regenerating health and the need of health packs.
5)Plenty of guns.
6)Great level design.
7)Section where you can choose to use stealth or to go guns and blazing.
8)Various animations when you kill an enemy with knife. They don't get old.
9)Various enemies.
10)Great concept.
11)Collectables are fum to find.
12)Bits of the soundtrack.
13)Interesting characters.
14)Levels are fun to replay.
15)Game is replayable with 4 different mods.
16)The setting.
17)Newspaper articles in the game, like this is a real world.
18)Nice voice acting.
19)Finally Nazis speak German.
20)Dialogue, not only in English, but in German and (not 100% sure) Polish.
21)Great villains.
I may have missed some pluses, but now I'm going to talk about the minuses.
1)The two different timelines, that you choose which to follow, don't affect the story much.
2)When replaying the levels, I wish you could skip the non-action parts. I wanted to skip them.
3)Loading times when you die are kinda too long.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is a fun first-person shooter. From BAD 1 to EXCELLENT 6 I give it EXCELLENT 5.50 - it's better than a VERY GOOD game, but not a truly EXCELLENT game. I hope that the new Doom will be better, or at least as good as this game.
