Luitenant_Gruber Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus - The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe Review

*Warning: Spoilers* Okay DLC for the main game. I thought Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus was a great game. It has a great story, beautiful graphics and intense and smooth gunplay. In the core, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a linear game in which you finish missions in chronological order. The maps are huge and offer many different paths or approaches to achieving the end goal. The game offers possibilities for stealth, Full Rambo mode or a combination of the two. Your full arsenal from the first game is back, with the addition of some new weapons. Between every mission, you return to Eva’s Hammer, the submarine and your base of operations. Here, you can search for collectibles, play Wolfenstone 3D and accept side quests in areas you have already been to. In the Hammer, you can also revisit areas which are called Districts. These come available later in the game. These bring even more content in the game with the addition of the Enigma machine, in which you hunt Übercommanders in all districts. The perk system is also back from the first game and is now a little more refined. You can replay missions by visiting Districts and level up your perks, even if the game ends. The only problem is that there is a flaw in which your perk progress is saved when you reload the game or die. This means that you can spam a certain action over and over again to fill up the progress meter. The amount of content in this game is the main reason I thought it was good. Both in terms of gameplay and overall value. You got your main story line, side quests, the Killboard, DLC, and collectibles to find. This is not a game that you rush through in a few hours if you want the full experience. After the main campaign, I played this first DLC: Wolfenstein II: The Freedom Chronicles - Episode 1 – The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe. In this DLC, you are an American Rugby player that turned against the occupying Germans in the United States. You are thrown into prison but break free with your immense strength. You go on a quest to kill the Übercommander Metze, who builds a giant space cannon and imprisoned you and your father. Throughout the campaign, you visit places from the original game, including Venus. The DLC is basically just a reskin of the main game, with some added achievements and a few unique weapon upgrades. Every DLC has a contraption from the main game, and in this case, you use the Ram Shackles. I thought this DLC was “okay”. It features an hour of extra gameplay, some challenges and a short, but interesting enough story. This DLC also features the most unforgiving and sadistic challenge of them all: The Nightmare Challenge. Here, enemies shoot you from every direction in a burning, round arena and you die quicker than you can say dead. Although intended as a serious challenge, it removed half the fun I had with this piece of DLC. A major issue in the DLC is the “Getting stuck” glitch, which is the absolute worst in the level design here. You need to enter many areas with “submarine” steel doors. Every door has a little edge before entering. You get stuck constantly behind these ledges, giving the enemy plenty of time to pump your back full of lead. In the end, I give Wolfenstein II: The Freedom Chronicles - Episode 1 – The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe a pass and would still recommend it.
