Wolfenstein: The New Order

Game Info

Wolfenstein: The New Order is an action-adventure shooter game played from a first-person perspective. It is the semi-sequel to 2009's Wolfenstein, however utilizes very little from the game and drops any direct references to veil or supernatural. To progress through the story, the player battle enemies throughout levels. The game utilizes a health system in which players' health is divided into separate sections that regenerate; if an entire section is lost, the player must use a health pack to replenish the missing health. In combat, a cover system can be used as assistance against enemies. The player have the ability to lean around, over, and under cover, which can be used as a tactical advantage during shootouts and stealth levels. The game gives the player a wide variety of weapon options—they can be found on the ground, retrieved from dead enemies, or removed from their stationary position and carried around.

Introduction

I was quite impressed about such interesting game. Toady, at the end of 2024-th it looks like film ‘The Wizard of Oz’ or ‘The Godfather’. It’s not new, but the story takes you back to those old good times. I remember how I was playing old Wolfenstein on my phone, and those times I was enjoying that game very much.
Personally I wanted to play Wolfenstein 2, but I did understand that I need to pass previous games, to understand what’s going on. So technically I had the same story which I had in Witcher and Witcher 2

Main Plot

I don’t see really necessary to go deep in the plot. For those who just want to get to know the universe it’s a good start. You are playing for some analogue of cpt. Price from COD, the same legend in Wolfenstein universe. And here is also going a war between U.S. and Germany, but the only difference - here Germany got their Victory. Your main mission to find your teem-mats to make normal opposition to Germany.

Gameplay

I had a feeling very similar to Half-Life - you have same much weapon, all the time you need to change the weapon. But it’s not just a shooter. This game is something similar between Dishonored and Half-Life. You will have more chances to pass the level if you go by stealth, but if you want to make noise - be ready for much harder pass.
The same as in Dishonored - after each hard level - you will have some relax time in your Hub, where you need to do some easy quests.
A thing which I want to mention - when the character goes to sleep - your game doesn’t finish, you start a new level but in that old phone style of the game, with those pixel structure, which looks really cool and takes you for a decade earlier.

Visuals and Love letter of Wolfenstein

As I said before - the game is something as a ‘the Godfather’ film - today on Ultra settings game runs only in 60 fps, and in 30 fps in cutscenes. Graphics looks really poor today, but with all the gameplay and story the graphics problem doesn’t look such important. So be ready for it.

Conclusion

I can’t say it’s an awful or an awesome game. Today it looks just good. Good to get to know the story of legendary Wolfenstein. It’s just a good game, but maybe those times - it was really wonderful example of how games may look. So today it’s just a good option to spend time.
