Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Store Page:
PlayStation 4

Total play time:
~15 hours

My thoughts:

Graphics:
Right in line with part 1. Varied locations in this one are pretty nice.


Sound/Music:
Leaning more on hating than loving. If it was there the music was very low and barely audible. Could've been used more to set a mood.


Gameplay:
A mess. I don't think the game has any idea what it wants to be. Stealth shooter? Run and gun? Cover shooter?

Yahtzee describes it perfectly here:

Story:
As much as I hated the game play the story is the complete opposite. The story beats are big, bombastic, ridiculous, unrealistic and I loved it. Maybe just watch the cut scenes on YouTube instead of playing the game...?


Outro:
As soon as the credits rolled I was done with this game. Glad I got to experience the story, but I don't see myself going back for another sequel.


Rating:
3/5 stars.

Next game?
Monster Hunter: World
