Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus Reviews
Other than a few technical issues, I have to say the game exceeded my expectations. Sure, the story can be a little all over the place, but that's the cost of taking the franchise in a little more in-depth direction. The New Colossus firmly establishes the alternate universe that we were introduced to in The New Order and is an excellent foundation for future entries in the series.
Wolfenstein II brings the gruesome thrills and spins an unforgettable story filled with believable characters fighting for a better world
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has become the new benchmark for single-player shooter campaigns. The sheer amount of freedom that players have to go along with the excellent gunplay make it one of the best shooters in years on those merits alone. Add in what is one the year's most compelling, important narratives and you have a recipe for an instant classic on your hands. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus isn't just 2017's best shooter, it's a game that will be looked back upon as one of the standout titles of this generation when it comes to an end.
The New Colossus is a fun and frantic FPS, even if it doesn't feel quite as fresh as The New Order did.
In a week that has seen speculation about the future of this type of big budget singleplayer game, for all its flaws, this is a reminder of how powerful and vital they can be.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus repeats the formula of delirious shooter, excessive and entertaining, and able to put in trouble any player. But this time has a better story, deeper and loaded with critical, uncomfortable and even politically incorrect messages. Secondary missions and hundreds of collectibles bring many hours of game to their fans and the technical and artistic work is great.

By the end of Wolfenstein II; The New Colossus, I felt overwhelmed. It was a lot to take in, so much so that 15 hours felt like so much less. It was like going to a rock concert, riding a roller coaster, and reading a thinkpiece condemning the alt-right all at once. When I jumped in, I wasn't sure what to expect, especially with so much of the marketing playing up the comedic elements. What I got was more of what I liked in The New Order, but on a much larger scale, with ambitions that cared little for AAA conventions and comforts. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a project that wears its heart on its sleeve, and that sleeve is on a bright yellow motorcycle jacket with a red devil on the back that is being worn by a Texan Terminator who finds great joy in hacking away at Nazi soldiers with a hatchet.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a fluid, brutal, and challenging first-person shooter and one that is insane and over-the-top from start to finish, but it is the unique cast of characters and the story they're a part of that shines. B.
Though its subject matter was heavy, I had an incredibly fun time playing Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. I can't wait to see where the series goes from here.
Despite some small issues that can be patched up pretty easily, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a breathtaking game that combines Oscar worthy storytelling with game of the year quality gameplay.
MachineGames' classic shooter sequel delivers on multiple levels, the most unexpected of which is its emotional depth
Wonderful Shooter, that stages a serious subject with a lot of humor.

One of the most charismatic shooters of 2017, attending to screenplay. Other features aren't as surprising, but overall we have a remarkable action experience.

If you ever played a Wolfenstein game in the past and enjoyed it, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus might be the best one so far. Don’t expect the gameplay to be much different from it’s predecessors, but do try to immerse yourself into the story as much as you can. You won’t regret it.
With The New Colossus, MachineGames has created a very complete game, in which everything has been processed unabashedly. The stereotypical characters are brutal, the humor is sharp and the story offers depth but remains nice and simple. In terms of gameplay, the game offers you the same as the previous part: shooting Nazis in the face!

Wolfenstein 2 is an insane ride that starts strong and never lets go.
Some of the most fearless and idiosyncratic storytelling ever seen in a video game, married to one of the most viciously entertaining shooters of the generation.
