Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014 Video Game)
6/10
A Game That Takes Itself Way Too Seriously
27 November 2021
If you played Wolfenstein as an early 3D shooter back in ye olde days of 1992, you know that it was ridiculous fun. Fast forward to 2014 and games since then have passed a lot of waters and have become way more advanced both in graphics and story telling--which I love tbh.

Come the new day, comes Wolfenstein: The New Order, an updated retelling(?) of the classic Nazi shooter romp. I say romp because you're still dealing with ridiculous levels of cheese, mutant cyborg Nazis, giant mechs, going to a Nazi moonbase. My problem that all this was interspersed with a lot of dramatic weight and I mean A LOT of drama. After BJ Blazkowicz's umpteenth grumbling soliloquies about how life is terrible and how the Nazi's do terrible things to good people, you begin to want to tell this roided-up yank to lighten the hell up. You're a walking box of a man with a sexually suggestive name who kills Nazi's in mechs or on a space station.

All the while I played this game, the cuts scenes simply get in the way when something this out there takes itself way too seriously. Have some fun while you can in between the cuts scenes too because it's a surprisingly short game too.
