Re: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Will Be Playable On Switch Next Month At PAX East

I'll go against common consensus: I think it's a decent (as far as shooting is concerned), hugely over-hyped game.

Story-wise it pales in comparison to The New Order and also The Old Blood. Quite boring, despite starting really well. Level design feels erratic at best, there's little to no diversity and some areas (i.e. post-atomic NY) feels really bland.

Didn't like B.J. Blazko's character developement. AT ALL.
He switched from the silent hero that carried the weight of the world on his shoulders to an Inglorious Basterds-parody thrash-talking brat. Which he SHOULDN'T be.

Ending is lackluster to say the least. I won't spoil it, but if you didn't already play it on PC/Console prepare yourselves to be hugely disappointed.
Epic boss battles? Forget about it. No London Monitor, no Deathshead, no Rudi Jäger... almost nothing memorable on that side. Just lesser enemies zerging you from all sides, with the occasional super-trooper or iron-man joining the party.

It's without a shadow of doubt my biggest letdown of 2017.
They pushed it too far and failed to bring the franchise to new (and deserved) heights. I would give it a 6.5, max 7 (on a sunny day when my mood is right) on 10, and mostly because shooting feels more than decent and (often) satisfying.

Now 7 isn't bad per-se, you know... but I was expecting more, way more.

[EDIT] That cover tho... sick.

@Fake-E-Lee yeah not meaning to sound harsh towards anyone, I know that every indie developer feels like his game will be the next big thing... I really hope they will learn the lesson and manage to channel their passion in the right direction next time.
