The story, while not the most thorough, is something that comes across as a huge difference from your average FPS. Blazkowicz you are an all-american walking machine of death that manages to survive until 1960 in an almost vegetative state, until one day, when threatened with death, your functions come back to you and it’s payback time. It’s not clear why or how this happened but it’s something we’re promised we’ll find out while plowing through the twelve to sixteen hour story. Your standard Thompson, for example, even in 1946 has a more mechanical look to it, due to the alternate history timeline the game’s narrative follows.Īt the beginning of the game it’s 1946 and World War Two has been going on longer than in real life as the Germans seem to have acquired some advanced technology. As if giving you a large arsenal of guns that you can switch to at any point wasn’t enough, the visual design of these is all fantastic. There is an obvious and very old school design ethic behind this game as it allows you to carry more than two guns at once. This leads to frantic firefights where switching up your weapons is important. There is the choice of precision but also the ability to dual-wield any two of the same weapon in the game - even the knives which can lead to some hilarious gameplay. Wolfenstein: The New Order does shooting Nazis in the face better than any game in recent memory. That’s all good in theory but does it stand up to scrutiny? I’m happy to report: it bloody well does. While maybe every now and then Call of Duty manages to have a decent campaign and every couple of years we get a Halo famous for its story mode, there really aren’t many other FPS games with attention lavished upon the solo experience. This choice may seem like a bad business decision but the gap in the market for an awesome single-player FPS experience, over six hours in length, is huge. So, getting down to it, this is an FPS that has taken a very unpopular route and is single-player only. I found myself constantly surprised with how violent, gory, yet hilarious the game is. The whole time spent playing the first few hours had me saying the phrase “Oh wow!” continuously.

WOLFENSTEIN 2 CAMPAIGN LENGTH SERIES
This being their first game causes the feeling of a fresh start for the series to be even further exaggerated. This new entry into the illustrious series is being handled by Machine Games from Sweden formed by ex-Starbreeze Studios founders. Now, there is plenty of that so no need to worry but there is also a sizable amount of interesting options added to back up its single-player only choice. Let’s be straight here Wolfenstein has always been about shooting Nazis in the face. We weren’t prepared for just how much fun the experience was. We were invited down for an afternoon at Bethesda in London to get our hands on the new Wolfenstein game, to which we graciously accepted.
