I'm not a fan of first person shooters but these new Wolfenstein games somehow found a way to draw me in. There's something about being able to dual wield every gun while sprinting around that is undeniably fun. The perk system is fun to work through although most of the rewards for it don't make much of a noticeable difference in gameplay. There's a surprising amount of variety in the level design and the stealth sequences give me a wanted break from the shooting. Humanizing a character like B.J. Blazkowicz who would be very easy to just make into angry badass is impressive. They tell a surprisingly touching story with a likeable cast of characters. They manage to ground the story amongst the over the top carnage.
