Wolfenstein: Youngblood Reviews
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is great action game with awesome graphics, decent set of weapons, huge bosses and good shooter mechanics. Levels have become wider and now there's even more nonlinearity, however the project suffers from a weak plot, repetitive random side-quests and character' level constraints. If you liked the previous games in the series or you are a fan of the genre, ready to put up with new problems, you can try. Especially since Youngblood is sold at a price twice lower than the usual release.

Wolfenstein Youngblood looks great and has solid shooting mechanics, but misses the mark when it comes to the things that have become Wolfenstein’s greatest strengths.
All MachineGames and Arkane Studios needed to do was make a straightforward, cooperative Wolfenstein experience. Instead, Youngblood replaces the series' celebrated narrative twists and turns with humdrum XP grinding and a live-service model. It would be bad in most games, but the fact that it's in a Wolfenstein title makes it sting a little bit worse.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood feels like a non-essential addition to the franchise, and a game that is sorely missing the humanity of BJ Blazkowicz.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood maintains the quality of other deliveries and improves on other sections, such as multiplayer. Possibly one of the best in the series.

If you're looking for combat, which I imagine most fans of a dystopian Nazi-killing game would be, look the other way. Likewise, if you're looking for a great co-op experience to try out with a friend, prepare yourself for disappointment. And if you do end up buying this game, for the love of all that is holy, please turn on your own music.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is as run-of-the-mill as you can get. The Nazi-killing angle and co-op functionality give the game an interesting edge, but the forced RPG mechanics and limitations that arise from it keep Youngblood from greatness.
Wolfenstein Youngblood is a pretty good FPS, with solid gameplay, nice level design and intersting cooperative mecanics.

With this latest installment, it feels as though Machine Games is both running out of ideas and losing the plot a little with what fans have celebrated about this modern era of the Wolfenstein.
It experiments with all the weakest parts of the series and ties them together with a new, tedious progression system.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a game with interesting ideas, but not so bright execution. The multiplayer mode makes the experience fun, but the level design quickly makes the game tedious.

Wolfenstein Youngblood is a disappointingly bland shooter that fails to capture the intensity or passion of New Order and New Colossus, delivering a humdrum experience plagued by uninteresting design and grindy gameplay
Wolfenstein: Youngblood offers entertaining co-op fun, but it can not keep up with its predecessors

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is about freedom in more ways than one.
This "supplementary" episode recovers the typical gunplay of the series, looks with interest at the structure of The New Colossus, but adds some new ingredients to weigh the formula.

The usual Wolfenstein brilliance is here, and MachineGames have shown they've got a great handle on splattering fascists.
Considering it's 'only' a spin-off, this is a riotous and well-designed entry in the series - however, it's built with co-op in mind. Solo play is fun if flawed, but play with a friend, and you'll both have one of the best shooter experiences of the year so far.Chris J Capel
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is more or less just as good as its predecessors but the implementation of some of the new gameplay features leave the tiniest of imperfections in an otherwise excellent game
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a stylish detour that allows the series to safely explore some new directions while setting the scene before the next game. But it's not taking the risks where it really counts. In an era where right-wing extremism is an increasing threat, and the line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred, the visible politics of Wolfenstein can't shoulder the weight of the game alone.
