Killing Commanders before you are noticed will keep the alarms in that area from sounding, meaning there will be fewer enemies to fight.

Players still have the option to go stealth or run right in and start blasting away. Gameplay-wise, if you played Wolfenstein: The New Order, there’s nothing terribly new going on here. Listening to conversations between two friends on Eva’s Hammer, or eavesdropping in on Nazi soldiers spreading rumors about your exploits provides some great worldbuilding, and these moments are often darkly comic. However, when you don’t have a gun in your hands, the game makes you take your time. When in combat, you go as fast as you can and blow up everything that moves into your path of destruction. While the events going on around you (and happening to you) are nothing you could expect, these interactions between characters help ground the story and make you care about what’s going to happen next. Thanks to Wolfenstein 2’s hub level, the massive submarine Eva’s Hammer, you have the opportunity to talk more with each character and get to know them better. New this time are Grace, Super Spesh and the eloquent madman Horton, among many other memorable characters. That choice determines the timeline you play in, which has a few minor effects on the gameplay and story. Your pregnant girlfriend, Anya, remains by your side along with the hilarious Set, kind-hearted Max Hass and your choice between Fergus or Wyatt. Joining Blazcowicz are friends both new and old. Blazcowicz is now taking the fight home to America, and crazy shit happens. Players once again take on the role of “Terror-Billy” Blazcowicz, joined by your gang of resistance fighters in an alternate-history 1961 in an effort to rebel against the now world-dominating Nazi regime. However, Wolfenstein 2 somehow manages to ground the story with enough emotion to make it all work.ĭressed up as an alternate history shooter, Wolfenstein 2 picks up immediately after the events of the first game.

The story takes some twists and turns that, in any other game, would be outright laughable. Whatever you do, don’t ask anyone about the plot or what happens until you get the opportunity to play it. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is insane.
