It's like an adept of kantian philosophy getting all riled up when a dudebro calls kant a nerd and a virgin. Not So MMO: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Review – An Important Game Instead of being insecure it's a much better time to look at the dummy's antics and giggle to your heart's content. Today marks the launch of three incredibly anticipated non-MMO games, but if there’s one I didn’t expect to be so thoroughly engrossing, it’s Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. In a day where publishers and press are bemoaning the decline of single player, MachineGames and Bethesda give us a surefire contender for game of the year. This is our Not So MMO - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus review. The sequel picks up precisely where The New Order left off, and if you didn’t play Wolfenstein or The Old Blood, don’t sweat – there’s a nice opening sequence that gets you up to speed. Wolfenstein 2 is a true-to-its roots FPS, and comes with a melee system and weapon upgrades that immediately reminded me of last year’s excellent DOOM reboot. Two mighty fine systems to add to BJ’s repertoire, to be sure. ![]() Wolfenstein 2 is a fairly linear experience, but only in terms of the narrative it tells. Levels are expertly designed, and while environments are not very interactive the way in which you can approach your goals is wide open. Weapon upgrades are a nice way to choose special goals for different tools (silencer on the pistol? Yes, please). And there are loads of side missions and activities to do with the Enigma codes that you collect throughout missions. But the honest heart of the game lies in its narrative – so much so that there’s no multiplayer to be found. Rest assured there will be lots of blood and Nazi murder, but at its heart Wolfenstein also manages to pack serious moral questions, a gut-wrenching love story, and as much human soul as possible. Yes, MachineGames asks you to revel in the murder of Nazis, but at the same time it asks you to value human life. Race, religion, even child abuse are all covered in the scope of the 10+ hour narrative. ![]()
