Unfortunately this game bungles some good ideas by leaning too hard into ra ra American nationalism. It wants to delve into important themes, like the USA's long history of institutional racism, but can't really stick the landing because BJ is at his very core a patriot. This game recognizes that racism is deeply ingrained in American society, but thinks that recognition is enough.
This game cracked up the game to 11. Difficult? Yes. Time consuming? Possibly yes. Riddled with bugs? At times, yes.
But hey, an amazing followup to The new order. Take it or live it, I choose to take it.

it really could have been better if it wasn't sequel bait
For me, this game was a misstep. Less guns, a more grounded story, and less action. I felt like this wasn't as good as the first one, but couldn't have predicted the steaming shit that was YoungBlood. Still, the scene with Hitler in this game is iconic.
Much better than TNO and TOB in almost every way. Especially enjoyed the story this time around, a fun romp with a fantastic cast of characters. Had a really, really fun time with this. Much better than I expected.
Great writing, tremendous characters, solid FPS design, killin' Nazis.
yo this fuckin ruled.
like, everything about it. It was the first game in awhile that truly surprised me at points and made me give a shit about basically all the characters, and was at points chilling as hell with a lot of the Nazi America stuff. It was good as shit.
The only criticism that comes to mind is that I know the next Wolfenstein game is set in the 80s in France(?) with BJ’s daughters so I wouldve liked to have seen what the in between of that wouldve been. besides that this was good as hell. Probably my Game of the Year through the halfway point of 2019

Probably the worst of the new series so far but still a fun shooter with some killer moments.
This game killed my love for games for a few months.
Had some interesting elements, but most of the missions felt really half-baked.
Is fun, can't wait to meet h*!!!
The level design in this is maddening.
This game starts off so incredibly in the first half. It's the first game times a million in every way. The gameplay's way better, the game looks and runs like god on ultra even on an RX 580, the tone's goofier and not as good but moments of character interaction and building had my jaw on the floor in a lot of scenes. So many more taboos and risky ideas and themes, it's great. Easy 4.5 stars. But then something happens about halfway through. After an awesome level, after a character building moment between BJ and another character that had my jaw through the floor and on my scalp, followed by an awesome gameplay sequence with a fun setpiece, something happens. It's so fucking jarring, so fucking out of place, so fucking stupid, and so fucking mind-bogglingly offputting that it hurts my head to think about what the devs were actually hoping to achive. I think they just ran out of ideas. After that point, every aspect of the game apart from the gameplay just fucking stops like they hit an orphanage while driving at the speed of sound. All the stakes and worry are removed from the game. The hints of the darker and more mature tone are thrown out the window.
Si el primero me gustó regular este no me gusta nada, encima el monologo interno sigue
No sé como lo han hecho pero se siente más generica y menos especial/propio
Tenía ganas de jugarlo, pero después de pasarmelo creo que he perdido el interés en la saga

Great nazi murder fun, great story up until the literal last minute
BAD:
- story
- difficulty curves
- level design
And it has no mission select?? A linear FPS with no mission select??

dont waste your time
Wolfenstein 2 has amazing moments, unforgettable sequences but confusing level design and a bloated end game keep it from being great.
haha nazis go dying sounds
I don't know what they did but this just.....lost the spark that "The New Order" had. Still a very competant callback shooter though
Solid middle of the road affair that tries way too hard to be more emotionally deep than it should.
great improvement from the first game on almost every aspect (levels are a bit short and gameplay is not as good as the first BUT the story and overall atmosphere are a lot better), overall a pretty solid old school styled fps.
I'm one of the few that thinks this is the best of the new Wolfenstein games.
My favourite part of these reboots has been the deconstruction and subsequent rebuilding of BJ as this generic action hero into an empathic, vulnerable and intensely relatable character.
This game doubles down on adding layers upon layers to BJ - but it admittedly falters in almost every other aspect in comparison to the other reboot entries.

Good game not as good as the previous one but still very enjoyable
8.5
Downgrade de mecanicas, niveles extremadamente lineales y desinspirados (algunos mal diseñados), bonitos colores desperdiciados en 20 capas de gris, historia mal escrita que tiene un tono inconsistente y llena de identity politics, las armas sonaran bonito pero son meh, la dificultad esta mal testeada como el sigilo, al morirte tan rapido lo mejor es evitar los tiroteos con run and gun, en vez de eso es mejor tomar cobertura o correr al siguiente checkpoint, cosa que choca con lo que deberia ser lo contrario, buena parte del juego son cinematicas y un largo etc.
Shittier story, shittier level design
Honestly overstays its welcome, gameplay-wise. Lots of fun initially but then really doesn't introduce enough new wrinkles to the gameplay to make it consistently feel fresh and fun throughout its entire run time. Thankfully the writing more than makes up for it! Not only is the satire genuinely consistently funny, it's take on an alternate universe where the Nazis won WWII is really clever and well-executed. Ronald Reagan getting shot by Hitler still an all time great video game moment.
Not my kinda game, especially on the Switch lol
Welles had a point when he said that a movie's message could be inscribed on a napkin. Though that doesn't excuse The New Colossus, which proves incapable of solving the most obvious of equation :
To relate the sacred body of Blazkowicz to the Nazi Übermensch, and then interrogate this troubling connection.
