Now, This review is very similar to my New Colossus review with some tweaks, that is because the games are very similar. Read to find out more:

Wolfenstein New Order is a pretty good game. It is simple in the sense that you simply run and gun, but the length of the game never made the running and gunning feel tedious. It has moments of optional stealth, by optional stealth, I mean sneak in and kill the two captains before they can raise the alarm then gun down the rest of the enemies in the area. This game by far has the best segue sequences to connect two parts of the story at two different moments in time.

New Orders plot isn't anything to go home about, You are BJ, the American soldier, Nazi-killing master, and after Nazis do more bad things, it's up to you to kill the head Nazi while a helping a growing resistance turn the tides. Decent, never dull, average and predictable.

The music is great, a combination of hard-hitting rock with moments of emotional acoustic guitar, for me it was a Spotify save that is great to work out to.

The gameplay is smooth, I played it on the hardest difficulty first time through and only came across about 3 frustrating sections in the whole campaign. This makes me think however that anything easier then Uber would make this game not challenging in any way and more of a stress relief for psychopaths.

The graphics are nothing to complain about, if you have a weak stomach some scenes may not be for you is all I have to say about that.

Overall, the game is average. In my opinion not worth the full Triple-A price. I picked up both New Order and the prequel to it, Old Blood for $20 CAD, which seems the perfect price for this experience.

A side note, if you played Return to Castle Wolfenstein, then I 100% recommend purchasing "The Old Blood" for some nostalgic feelings in the stand-alone prequel to New Order. Not necessary to understand the story, but a very fun and worthwhile lead up to New Order.


Story - 3/5
Music - 3/5
Gameplay - 3/5
Graphics - 3/5
Overall - 6/10
