2/5 ★ – SpaceManta's review of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

some of the gameplay beats were cool, i liked the contraptions, but it just felt pandering otherwise. theres this whole thing in the first game about the concrete that the nazis build their cities on growing mold and crumbling and its a cool metaphor about the foundation of the nazis ideology being unsustainable, but there is nothing of the sort in this one. the new order we also go after general deathshead, the driving force behind the nazis victory and it feels not only like the smart tactical move but also an emotional one given the first mission of TNO. feels like we go after frau engel just because she was a good antagonist in TNO, but carry over almost nothing else from it. that being said, i had fun with it but id rather just play old blood if i want more wolfenstein.
