Despite some poorly developed topics such as racism or Nazi regime in America, Wolfenstein 2 is a funny and very well-made fps title able to entertain for a fair amount of hours.

To sum up, Wolfenstein II is a quality shooter, complemented by a great story and a number of surprises in the alternative history of the world and also of Nazi-dominated America. MachineGames show how to do sequels.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a great follow up to The New Order, though it isn't necessarily that much better. The gameplay presents a solid first person shooter while the narrative gives us a protagonist who bears scars of battle outside and in. There are some issues when it comes to how difficult the game can get at times, but fans of first person shooters and compact single player titles should definitely give Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus a shot.

Unless you're a perfectionist who doesn't mind constantly reloading, you'll need to learn to thrive in the chaos.

By far the best first person shooter released this year. It is often brutal and totally unflinching in its depiction of the violence people do to each other, but it is also hilarious and moving and tells a very human story.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a powerful game that tells a relevant story. It doesn't innovate much in terms of gameplay, but everything else about the game is executed at an impressively high level.

Part political commentary, part comic-book farce, completely bat**** insane, and as primal as an FPS title can be, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is certainly recommended. It has a great cast, stunning visuals, breathless combat, and unforgettable story moments.

Wolfenstein 2, a first person shooter in which you can dual-wield shotguns to slaughter hundreds of robotic fascists in a secret Nazi facility suspended above the surface of Venus, is the most skilfully written game in years.

Wolfenstein 2 offers slick shooting, plenty of spectacle, and heaps of fun characters to interact with. The plot is far from perfect, and levels are a touch dull, but overall it's a must-play.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a rock ‘n roll rebellion that manages to blend thrilling shoot ‘em up action with heavy subject matter and a narrative that begs players to rage against the machine with as many bullets as possible.

Wolfenstein: The New Colossus subverts the old-school shooter tradition by featuring an incredible cast of characters with varied personalities in a world that makes you want to explore more and more of the society it features. The gameplay is very engaging, though can sometimes outstay its welcome at parts with a mixture of levels that range from the extremely interesting to dull and repetitive. Whatever its flaws, Wolfenstein is a great game that's well worth playing and will keep you coming back for more as you purge the US of Nazis.

The New Colossus crafts a world that can deliver exciting action and human drama. The messy gunfights give way to something much larger. The New Colossus examines violence, resistance, and the necessity of revolution. It's bloody and occasionally silly but never stupid or crass.

Brutal, bloody and oneliner heavy: Nazi-killing machine BJ Blazkowicz is back in another action packed, yet oddly gripping adventure. It might not be as good as the previous game, but it sure is entertaining.

Evil doesn’t need to have a name, sometimes not even a face. Through its excellent cast The New Colossus is a stark reminder that it is through hope, survival and unity that humanity can overcome dark times.
