Story: The game is set in an alternate timeline where the Nazis have won WWII and now rule over the world and we are part of a rebellion to take them down. It has been a long time since I had such a great all round FPS game experience. This game was selling it self as an old school shooter in modern times, never did I imagine that it had a great story too. My advice to potential purchasers would be to examine what exactly you want from the game: If you are only buying it for the 'Wolfenstein' name, you might very likely be disappointed. I had to play on the easiest difficulty level to make any progress, and I kept looking for nods to the past when none were to be given. However, for what I was looking for, this game didn't cut it. Thus, a 100% objective review of this game would probably bump it up a star (or maybe even two if you really, really like shooters).

'New Order' is more about moving forward than it is about hearkening back to a 1990s PC shooter. I really was hoping that the game would have more nods to its history, but after a number of hours playing it I concluded that wasn't the point. Anyway, the main reason I'm cutting ties with this game after only playing through a few of the missions is because it didn't provide any of the nostalgia factor that I was looking for.

The controls were a bit difficult for me to pick up, but I will readily admit that could be due to my newness to the PS controller after years of Nintendo/XBox. But, it seems straightforward enough: you have objectives to meet and you have a kill a lot of Nazi's and Nazi robots/creatures to get them accomplished. I don't usually dabble in this genre, so I'm not really the one to be asking about this sort of thing. As far as shooter games go, this one is probably pretty good. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by the story and a bit overwhelmed by the level of difficulty/controls. I spent many hours as a child in front of my computer monitor playing Wolfenstein 3D, so I was excited to see the game given a modern tweak. The reason? I consider myself more of an 'old school' gamer, very much intrigued by games (or re-workings of games) that I used to play once upon a time.

8/10ДЄfter recently purchasing a PS4 and wanting to check out what games would go along with my initial purchase, the title 'Wolfenstein' caught my eye.

Overall, this is one of the more enjoyable FPS games of the 2010s, principally because it focuses on its shooting mechanics and doesn't encumber the player with a weapon limit or a slow movement speed. Here, you can interact further with the game's rag-tag cast of characters, cementing them within the world-space. This makes it rather replayable, as each mission feels distinct and the few hub locations you visit have a variety of rooms to explore. The game's level design is almost labyrinthine at times, allowing you to explore at your own pace and search for secrets if you so wish. A lot of time is spent on delivering the plot, which isn't an issue since it's so well-written and enjoyable. Ultimately, though, it maintains a tonal balance and works as a kind of schlocky, 'what-if?' science-fiction. This does sort of clash with the thing's story, as the narrative attempts to be somewhat serious with just a dash of satire here and there. It's gory, over-the-top and a lot of fun. Thankfully, then, this aspect of its design is highly satisfying, thanks to the piece's refined controls and large arsenal of weapons. The game really only has one thing in its mind: shooting Nazis.
