Wolfenstein: The New Order
Any video game that lets you kill Nazis is already doing something right. And in MachineGames’ Wolfenstein: The New Order, you certainly kill a few truckloads of SS officers and other Nazi scum. But what really makes this soft reboot of the classic id-developed shooter series worth playing is the story it tells and the intense gunplay.
You’ll actually care about the characters you meet in New Order and when some of them don’t make it, it stays with you after the credits roll. Plus, the combat is fantastically brutal, loud, and fun. Guns feel heavy, bullets and bombs rip Nazis apart, and being able to lean around corners and ledges to fire off desperate blind shots really adds to the intensity of it all. Truly one of the best shooters released in the last decade and easily the best Wolfenstein game ever made.
