"Wolfenstein: The New Order is smarter than a game called Wolfenstein probably has any right to be, yet it still manages to capture the hyperviolent spirit of its predecessors."

New order, new game, and new storyline

In an alternate post-WWII Europe (1962) in a world where the Nazis emerged victorious in the Second World War, war veteran William "B.J." Blazkowicz (Terror Billy) thwarts the Nazis and puts an end to… Read more

Wolfenstein: The New Order - Review

I might be five years late to this game but damn was this good. B.J. Blazkowicz is back and he's at his old game of killing Nazis. In an alternate time line type of narrative, Blazkowicz is fighting f… Read more

Why is it so good?

Now I know what you’re thinking. Jeff, with someone of your extreme sexiness, how do you deal with not having any flaws? Well...what do you mean you’re not saying that? Oh it’s the voices in my head a… Read more

Clumsy game play design and stupid glitches hurts this shooter.

It has been out in the open for awhile now that video games have gotten quite easier over the years, and for some people this is a bad thing while for others it simply isn't. I'm more towards the midd… Read more

Let's all invent fake german versions of our favorite bands! (or just another review of Wolfenstein The New Order)

Fun Fact: I bought Wolfenstein here in Austria at a local store went home to fire it up just to realise that it had FORCED German voice over in the PS4 edition and that put me so off at first that I a… Read more

Not Fun to Play, And Not as Smart As It Seems to Think

Wolfenstein: The New Order has the pretense of deep storytelling and rich characters, but it's a game where you go to a Nazi moon base. It's a game where a concentration camp is the setting for Summer… Read more

The 60's Are Less Groovy and More "Filled With Nazis"

I was about 3 hours into Wolfenstein: The New Order when I realized something.I cared about the characters I had met in the game. Which isn’t something I find happening all that often in games in gene… Read more

A Fundementally Excellent Singleplayer Shooter

Wolfenstein: The New Order is the best shooter to come out in some time. All indications say that it’s a game from a smart new studio that knows well it won’t beat Call of Duty or Halo in a “let’s mak… Read more

An old FPS franchise wakes up in an unrecognizable future, yet manages to adapt adroitly all the same.

Wolfenstein: The New Order once again drops its beleaguered action hero Captain B.J. Blazkowicz into the most audacious World War II alternate historical fiction since Inglourious Basterds . It's fair… Read more

Dumb, Derivative, and Deductible - And You Know What? That's Just Fine.

In 1992, the FPS genre was forever changed with the addition of Wolfenstein 3D . It is widely regarded among the most important and significant video games in history. Following the success of Wolfens… Read more

A Lesson in Shooting

I feel like every first person shooter in the world can take a page from Half Life 2's book. Probably one of the greatest games of all time. Now we can add a new shooter that COD and Battlefield can l… Read more

Wolfenstein The New Order

THE PREMISE: Wolfenstein The New Order looks to bring the Wolfenstein franchise back to the stage by stringing together brutal FPS combat, next-gen graphics, and an over the top setting where Nazi rob… Read more

Shootin', Killin', Stranglin' Nazis

Woflenstein: The New Order As someone who doesn't really play many FPS games aside from Halo, I can safely say that this was indeed a very pleasant surprise, and I don't think I've had this much fun w… Read more

Return to Classic Wolfenstein

Wolfenstein: The New Order is a sort of direct sequel to Wolfenstein (2009), but much like the Nazis resurrecting the tombs of Ancient Germanic Warriors, Wolfenstein: The New Order plans to resurrect… Read more

The New Order is a near-perfect marrying of old school and modern shooter design

The Wolfenstein series has gone through a weird trajectory over it's lifetime. Despite existing in it's known form as the premier first-person shooter franchise for 22 years, it's only just now gettin… Read more

Hyperviolent old school shooting and a story worth caring about make The New Order a welcome surprise

Wolfenstein: The New Order opens with a turret sequence, an egregious use of modern action game’s most tired cliché. You’ll shoot Luftwaffe out of the skies as series mainstay B.J. Blazkowicz, leading… Read more

Mostly competent but unremarkable

I'm going to be a little bit raw with this review. As a shooter, this game is merely competent. All of the weapons are useful but purely functional. The laser gun is somewhat unbalanced as it doesn't… Read more

Great return to Wolfenstein!

As a longtime fan of the series I had been waiting for this game since I first learned it was in development. That's a long time to build up impossibly high expectations. Well, I'm happy to report tha… Read more

2014 Ways To Murder A Nazi

Its a real shame that the new Wolfenstein game doesn't quite live up to the potential of it's best story and character moments. What a weird thing to read in 2014, eh? It's an honest sentiment though,… Read more

Wolfenstein the new order

I enjoyed the game especially the artificial intelligence of enemies. Graphical PS4 station in history is very good and very nice. I'm not a fan of the series but now I Wolfenstein fan. I recommend th… Read more

Wolfenstein: Alt History is the Best History

The game opens in an alternate 1946 where the Nazi army has pushed the Allied forces to the brink of destruction with a series of highly advanced armaments, including robots, genetically altered super… Read more

Blauer Montag

It is hard to envision Nazis in video game form without thinking back to 1992's Wolfenstein 3D . As one of the first major shooters, it helped shape the genre as we see it today. With so many attempts… Read more

So fun and refreshing to break the monotony of Call of Duty!

I can write a two page long review over this game, but I will leave it to a quick synopsis of my thoughts. I have played all of the Wolfensteins to date, including Raven's dud of a 2008 Wolfenstein. H… Read more

Returning to Wolfenstein('s Roots)

It's hard to recommend the 2009 Wolfenstein "reboot". In fact, based on the lackluster story and strange, supernatural gameplay of that game, it shouldn't be expected that Wolfenstein: The New Order w… Read more
