Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus

Coming from a long time fan who loved pretty much all the wolf games. This game is very frustrating.

This game is pretty mid nearing bad. I dunno why it is the way it is but god damn if it didn't frustrate me to no end.

Gameplay is pretty boring. You go from a to b and during that you gotta kill commanders asap before more enemies spawn if you are spotten. The game really doeesn't do much more than this. No enemy variety and no scenario variety aside from like 3.

The level design is horrible. The levels are very linear yet the game attempts to make it seem otherwise by giving you so many dumb hallways that lead to nothing but some collectables (and even that isn't really a given). It also doesn't help how every level is bland and pretty much a wasteland or sewer looking thing.

Combat can be good. But its rare its fun. From the weird difficulty spikes to the stupid decisions like having you mash square to pick up stuff. First game and dlc also did this and I am still not sure why they do it. Actually I know why for the health at least, for the overcharge health system. I wanna understand why it is even here. What's so bad about walking over medkits and getting health? Same with ammo and armor. Why do you want me staring at the ground while I am being shot at instead of just cutting the bullshit.

The story was also weirdly dumb. First game was very well done and charming. Meanwhile this one attempts to be serious and handle serious things only to then turn around and insert toilet humor out of nowhere destroying the tension and the mood.

In comparison Wolfenstein 2009 and Return did so much better in their design. From level variety to enemy variety to weapon varity (no seriously, why is this game so limited compared to the old games? And the enemies... Fighting the same types over and over got boring fast.)

4.5/10 Mediocre,
