Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is the eleventh installment of the Wolfenstein series and a sequel to the 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order. The game follows the main protagonist, William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz, in his efforts to ignite a Second American Revolution. The game is played from a first-person perspective and most of its levels are navigated on foot. The story is arranged in chapters, which players complete in order to progress. A binary choice in the prologue alters the game's entire storyline; some characters and small plot points are replaced throughout the timelines. The game features a variety of weapons, most of which can be dual wielded. A cover system is also present.

Wolfenstein: The New Colossus takes the series to new heights with its gripping story and relentless action. The game’s intense gameplay and compelling narrative make it hard to put down. The strong character development and innovative mechanics enhance the overall experience, solidifying it as a fantastic entry in the franchise.
The story is a hell of a lot of fun, but the gameplay fails to uphold its end of the bargain. Stealth is treated as an afterthought compared to the New Order, and the level design is dreadful at times, opting to be labyrinthine seemingly for the sake of it. This, combined with the hollow side-missions introduced partway through the game, paint a grim, unnecessarily-open-world picture for the future of the series. Still, it's worth the price of admission for the places the story takes you.
