Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Any game that lets you slaughter Nazis en masse and in particularly creative ways is A-okay in my book.

I played The New Order and I really liked it. I wanted more of that so I bought this game. I really, really wanted to like it but I can't bring myself to do that. They completely botched the stealth which was my favourite part in The New Order. I have more thoughts on this but I don't really have the energy to write more. This is just an inferior version of Doom 2016

I am giving this a positive because the game looks gorgeous and the combat is top notch (and also because I am a fan of the series). However! It's easily the worst Wolfenstein game I have ever played. Let me explain why. To start off, the story carries from Wolfesntein: The New Order, but it's incredibly weaker. Initially, it's pretty strong, but as you get further, it gets weaker and weaker until you just stop taking it seriously. A shame really, because the first few levels were just fantastic. Goes from a 9 to a 6 in story very quickly though. Stage design...well, apart from a few levels, pretty forgettable in my opinion. Return To Castle Wolfenstein is still the king here, and by far. Characters are nice but they are too many with little introduction to each one of them and they are stuck in a badly written story so you start to not take them seriously either. I liked Anya in The New Order, but here...well, while I still cared about her, she just felt all crazy at times. Like why is she going on missions while carrying a baby AND being all ninja?! Combat wise the game is so good but it drags. It reallyyyy drags at times. It took me over a year to finish this game because I was bouncing off of it pretty quickly. The pacing of the previous games is gone. Feels like a slow burn here, even with the high action going on. I can't even explain it. Difficulty wise, if you play on normal, be ready to have your cat reflexes on because the game just throws so many enemies at you without any balance. Some areas may even seem impossible. So if you go in casual, you'll be destroyed in seconds. Use cover, keep moving, aim for the head, be super duper fast about everything and you'll be fine. Otherwise, I suggest lowering the difficulty if you find that you have no more hair left to pull. TLDR : Good game with great graphics, even by today's standards. Weak story and average design and problems with pacing pull the game behind though. Fans of the first game's story and characters will be disappointed. Fans of shooting anything that moves will be satisfied (if you can endure the pacing of the missions). Final Score : 7/10

Constantly Freezes with my 5080 to the point where it's unplayable...I've tried everything to fix it and nothing has worked...yet another reason to NEVER buy games at FULL price...

I only bought this game to see Ronald Reagan get gunned down by adolf hitler on his space movie studio on venus

I love this game im also a big WW2 fan and love learning more about it this adds a twist to history and makes it work lovely game.

Best depiction of Hitler ever (Venus scene). And I say that as a german.

was a lot of fun. i recommend everyone to play all wolfenstein games on a higher difficulty to turn them into a very strategic shooter. had the greatest fun like that

This game is genuinely one of the greatest i've ever played. The replayability is crazy and the various difficulties really challenge you in so many ways. Blazkowicz, through his actions and inner thoughts, portrays vengeance and tragedy so well its like you can really feel for him. Aside from the story, the gameplay is really addicting and the variety of the combat reveals Bethesda's genuine efforts into creating this game. They really needs to make more games like this cuz money would just be coming in nonstop.

Pretty good, allot of action and big scenes/fights, very short and ends abruptly.

A modern FPS masterpiece. Singleplayer FPS games like this are not common anymore.

obra maestra, una joya, literalmente coronado de gloria junto al Doom Eternal.

Wolfenstein II remains visually stunning, delivering impressive graphics alongside consistently smooth performance. The gameplay experience is seamless, offering solid frame rates and responsiveness throughout.

It's a very good first person shooter game. Gameplay is great and there's a good dark story with quirky characters and also some humor.. Play the game with a keyboard and mouse because it's much harder to beat it with a xbox controller..

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Nazis. Guns. Gore. Existential dread. Also, space Hitler. Yep, it’s one of those games. Let’s get something out of the way: this game is fun as hell. Blasting fascists with a laser shotgun while sprinting through America’s worst alternate timeline is every bit as cathartic as you’d hope. The gameplay is fast, violent, and satisfying—like DOOM with daddy issues. But boy, this game is also a hot mess... and I kinda love it for that. 👍 What I Liked: Exploding Nazis in every direction with dual-wielded weapons and perk upgrades that encourage all-out chaos. Level variety is solid. Nuclear New York, Nazi-occupied small-town America, New Orleans, and… Venus. Yes, that Venus. The visuals and effects are stunning. Blood, guts, and detailed destruction everywhere. Very cinematic. Very crispy. That wheelchair intro level? Genuinely one of the most creative FPS openers in years. BJ’s early vulnerability and internal monologue hit hard. The guy is dying, and you feel it—until, well… he doesn’t. Symbolism and setting: seeing American culture slowly Nazi-fied is uncomfortably powerful. The DC execution scene alone deserved an entire act. 👎 What I Didn’t Like: The Enigma code mini-game feels like they threw in Sudoku to slow down the Nazi-killing. Should’ve been automatic. Navigation sucks. No waypoint system. You’ll be opening the map more than your inventory. BJ gets a shiny new body halfway through, and suddenly the whole “I'm dying” plot feels like emotional clickbait. Enemy AI is dumber than a concrete sandwich. They charge at you like they’ve read “Tactics for Dummies” and stopped at chapter one. The story tone is all over the place. One moment we’re having powerful scenes about oppression, next we’re in space doing slapstick with a farting Hitler. The DLC is short, sweet, and forgettable. Like a microwaved Twinkie. 🤔 Final Thoughts: Wolfenstein II is like a flaming Nazi-killing rollercoaster designed by a sleep-deprived philosophy student. The highs are high—violent, satisfying, beautiful. The lows are narrative whiplash, weird pacing, and a few design choices that made me want to gently punt my keyboard out the window. But overall? A wild, cathartic ride worth taking, even if you occasionally have to drag it over its own weird design choices. Buy it, boot it, and bash a fascist. 8.5/10: Would detonate space Hitler again.

i want to keep my reaction short [spoiler]but i think the ending was poetic in a sense that this was the death she truly deserve, death with humiliation [/spoiler] anyways solid game, tho gameplay wise i still like the first one more but this aint bad either. i love the shotgun in this game like every shot feels rewarding from sound to its gameplay, and i wish more shotguns in games are like that.

Pretty good fun. The enemies are very dumb though. Quite often you can take out the bosses by camping somewhere they can't see you and then shooting a leg or an arm.

It's a good sequel, but it feels like it wasn't as thought through as its predecessor. The characters are great though, can't complain.

this game was super dope, great game to get blazed and kill some nazi scum 1000000% worth when on sale

This game is great, I get some of the hate for it but it keeps one thing, hatred for nazis and the things they stand for.

some may dislike this game for its lacking story or characters, but in my opinion, it is on of the the better wolfenstein games for its gunplay alone. and i still believe the story this game tells holds up.

Great story-driven fun, visually stunning & beautiful yet violent. Sometimes, for me, it was annoyingly difficult, which made me want to not play the game for long periods of time. Despite that I wanted to return to W II and finish the story. Was worth the time, and there’s still lots to be done if I want to come back to it.

Fun gameplay overshadowed by completely dogshit writing, killed the series

Can't recommend this game with all the bugs and crashing. Play on console instead.

I really, REALLY wish I could recommend this game, but I absolutely cannot for one reason and one reason only. This game was programmed by an amalgamation of shit and crusty skin flakes. It crashes every 10-30 minutes, even with low graphics settings, none of the hotfixes that are shared in the community work (believe me, I have tried them all) and of course because of the unskippable intro that reminds you which companies are responsible for the programmatically-induced aneurism you will suffer from all the crashes, restarting the game take way too long for how many times you gotta do it. BTW if your autosave is way too far back, as it often is, you gotta go through the fight again so make use of the manual saving feature or suffer the consequences. I really really wish these were just launch issues but I am playing this damn game in 2025 and we're still here so I don't think it's gonna happen. Unfortunately, my completionism will keep me coming back until I 100% or suffer a rage-induced stroke but you who hasn't bought the game yet, go watch someone else play it. The story is nice and you should see it, especially if you've played the past games (WHICH DO NOT CRASH AT ALL, HOW THE FUCK DID WE REGRESS SO HARD IN THE SEQUEL?!) but you don't deserve to go through this torture of a gaming experience.

i would say the weapons and combat make the combat punishing in an unsatisfying and un-enjoyable way. the story is a whole nother thing, i wont get into that but the first game is better.

liberal idealogical garbage. cringe in 50 different ways.

I wish there was a neutral option here as a choice for recommendations. First off, I liked W2. It built on the concepts introduced by TNO and TOB, but it feels like the game tried to be a bit too ambitious that it should have been, really. PROS + Awesome modern graphics with volumetric lighting and other eye candy + The voice acting is very good, and I liked the added NPC dialogues added to add a bit more depth to the lives of the resistance and the Nazis + The game isn't too long, unlike most modern games + You can kick Hitler in the head CONS - The story tries to expand on W1 in a way in which it doesn't do justice to its own premise. While I understand that linear shooters have limitations to their scope set by the level design and etc., the devs tried to go around this by inserting cinematic cutscenes, which...they didn't really land for me. I feel like they were edited very strangely, with extremely random cuts and scenes which should have been part of the regular gameplay. While in W1 the story is very tense, here there are so many tonal changes that they feel as if the directors kept being replaced during development. This makes the whole game, which wants to focus on the story, uneven, and honestly, boring some times. The first half is especially terrible with BJ going full emo. - The gameplay segments aren't varied. You go from Nazi bunker to Nazi bunker most of the game, with some more interesting sights in the second half, but those don't make up for the first 5 hours or more of gameplay. In W1, there were different set pieces sprinkled in with the regular shooting, going from one interesting location or gameplay segment to another. Here that's, sadly, not really the case. - Too many collectibles with haphazard placing. - Too many commanders, also haphazardly placed. Wherein in the first game they'd be tucked away in secret rooms, here they just wander around. Additionally, there are far too many of them, as if the game was trying to push the player to be all stealthy, while having levels and a stealth system that's just not well thought out. - I don't think the guns are great. They don't feel substantial. The hit indicator is also terrible, you really don;t know from where you're being hit sometimes. - I get that the devs probably wanted to make BJ's body more...real, in a sense...but with mouse controls, his movements are jerky and it feels like he gets caught on random stuff in the environment. This makes some powerups more annoying than they should be. - The powerups. So I thought that the levels would be built in a way in which they would use the three existing power ups in creative ways but they don't really matter at all in the grand scheme of things. - Not much mysticism compared to W1, which was an interesting part of that game. - The enigma machine - For a game that tried to sell you on a revolution, there's not much of it in it Don't get me wrong, I wrote quite a lot of cons here...so why do I still recommend it? Despite its flaws, it's an ok FPS. Could have been better, but honestly, if you just want to kill some Nazis and robots, you can't go wrong. It's not a bad game, it's just disappointing as a sequel. 6/10

Great game, but way too short, it only took me 10 hours to complete, and the story felt a bit lacking compared to the previous game. would recommend besides that though

As mentioned by a lot of others, there is a fair bit of anti-white bigotry in this game. The developers echoed a lot of this anti-white racism during their promotion of the game.

This game could have been pretty good, yet despite interesting concepts and ideas, the game falls short of them in many areas. Gameplay: feels like a step down from TNO, since enemies either are bullet sponges or encounters just tend to get pretty overwhelming quickly. Mind you, I don't mind large amounts of enemies, but TNC just doesn't strike the same balance as TNO did. Story: easily the most forgettable, in the best case, and infuriating, at worst, aspect of the game. TNC is all about killing Nazis - so why do we have to have contemporary leftist-politics with obnoxiously patronizing characters inserted in an already pretty clear message? Is killing tons of Nazis not left enough? It feels one sided and mostly annoying. Having the story optional such as System Shock 1 would actually be a net positive in this game. Without a doubt it also gets more and more silly, the further the game goes on. It feels like a fanfiction written by a radical communist-feminist at times. It is still not as bad as Young Blood, tho that isn't a particularly high bar to cross. Overall a strong let-down. Graphics: neat. Is it worth it? - Get it at a discount and enjoy. Still tons of Nazi-Killing with cool guns and a ton of interesting scenery in this alternate history setting. Shame tho how cringey characters and politics had to drag down what is otherwise a cool franchise.

Except a few fun weapons, the first one is better by miles

What a letdown. The game was fun for the most part. played on the highest difficulty and the stealth mechanic made it actually really enjoyable. But then there is that last level.....not only does it not make sense that nobody knows about the thing getting attacked, but the "boss" fight was just 2 stronger dudes? it felt tedious. not fun, not challenging, just tedious. and it didnt even look or feel like the final boss of the game, so i was confused, disappointed and annoyed.. the ending legitemately destroyed the game for me. Unless they release a third one, do not play this. the ending fucks up the entire experience

Bad: First of all the game is mid and then it crashes every 45 seconds and the only way to prevent is is by setting fps to 60

As one of the world's foremost enjoyers of Wolfenstein, specifically the brand of neo-Wolfenstein presented by The New Order, my pump is particularly primed to love New Colossus. My favorite cover mechanic in any FPS returns, the dual wielding is improved greatly by a mix-and-match structure, the sound design is particularly on point, the art style/direction is top-notch. Love a melodramatic speech, love a giant submarine, love a character-driven arc of violence cutting a bloody swath through literally thousands of Nazi bodies. Levels of "no way, dude" heretofore seen only in anime, New Colossus has got it all. Well, it's almost got it all. What it also has is two of the most frustrating levels in video games, and potentially the world's most unsatisfying "final boss." That only knocks off a little bit of points, though. It's relatively short, brutally efficient, brilliantly executed, and a joy to experience. Long Live Terror Billy.

fucking brilliant simple fun, good ol natzi storyline

1 with better graphics and lazy writing

this game is so peak, if you like bloody shooters, and you hate nazis, buy this game.

Awesome follow up. Gibmoarplz. Feels proper, fighting Nahtzees in 2025.

The best game I ever watched. The """writers""" took everything they can find in the Hollywood dumpsters and DEI trash cans and put it here. But they forgot to put the game.

I thought hitler was going to nut after he started to moan out blazkowicz name Also little bit of help from me if you are struggling to launch this game. Set the executable to be launched as administrator, disable every overlay you have on, put this into your launch options +com_skipBootSequence 1 +r_enableAsyncCompute 0 and in case if your game is crashing while changing the resolution, set it manually via cfg(local) file which is located in user/saved games/machinegames

Fuck, Venus Nazis... (I only have 29 in game hours; I left my pc on, on accident.)

really love this game to say the least, nothing like defeating some fascists!

Max Hass. Max Hass (+)Max Hass (+)Max Hass (+)Max Hass Max Hass (-)Max Hass Max Hass: Max Hass/Max Hass

So y'er telling me, a guy like William Balls Blazkowicz, fits inside a pipe that i can only deem as smaller than 12 inches, because of a harness?

W_HERE 2 F_CK ARE MY OLD SAVE-GAMES :-( ...IT SAYED I PLAYED 175 h ALREADY... ALSO IT PROCLAIMS TO BE """UP 2 DATE""" ....SO WHY DO I HAVE TO PLAY FROM SCRATCH ...THAT COMPLETELY SUCKS BETHESDRA ....whats the purpose of STEAM if not HOSTING MY SAVEGAMES IN THE FIRST PLACE !!!! ??? SO ANYBODY HAS AN SOLUTION FROM THIS HUGE PILE OF SHIT !!!!!!! ?????

insane experience bettter from the first one and a twisted story

Has an option to boot in safe mode...1st indication it is buggy. I have a very good graphics card, only this older game gives me memory over run errors on my GPU! VERY BUGGY!

Some scenes are gripping, until they get interrupted by unfunny toilet jokes.
