On one hand, it actually feels good to be killing Nazis again. It’s up to him to stop the Nazis and their horrible new world regime. You play as BJ Blazkowicz-yes THE BJ Blazkowicz from all the Wolfensteins past-fresh out of a coma from a piece of errant shrapnel embedded in his dome. However, this time around, the game doesn’t take place in World War II, but an alternate timeline where the Nazi’s won World War II, hence the name The New Order. Oh it wouldn’t be a Wolfenstein game without Nazis. Let’s start by talking about the centerpiece of Wolfenstein 3d: the Nazis. However, I did manage to have fun with it, flaws and all, and that should be the thing that counts right? Heck, I wouldn’t even call it a shooter that will be fondly remembers. The New Order certainly isn’t a AAA shooter blockbuster. All things considered, I didn’t have high hopes for Wolfenstein: The New Order, the latest in the Wolfenstein franchise, but these sane and skeptical expectations did me well.
Back when polygonal graphics were new, the franchise revolutionized the first person shooter, but these days it seems more concerned with cults and zombies and demons and generally creating mediocre attempts to revive the franchise. Wolfenstein hasn’t exactly has the best run in recent days.
