A decision made in the first chapter will subtly change your game throughout. No plot spoilers here, but every chapter has two versions across two timelines, unlocked separately. It’s a cheeky trick, really – your decision affects which exploration skill you learn. One way, you learn to pick locks, in a mini-game that’s short and pleasantly annoying. The other path teaches you to hotwire certain panels. So to get 100% you’ll have to play through twice. Cutscenes will also be changed to reflect your decision. It’s a good reason to replay, perhaps on a more difficult setting.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is an excellent entry in the series. The gameplay is varied, with a combination of decent stealth and very solid gunplay. The levels may sport drab colors, but the variety in location and inclusion of secrets in the level design make up for that. The story works well in a series that’s not really known for telling a good narrative, and the dual pathways mean that an already long campaign is made longer for almost all the right reasons. If you gravitate toward a strong single-player experience in your shooters, The New Order should be high on your list of games to play.

Impervious to boulders to the face, shrapnel, knives, explosions and bullets, Blazkowicz is a force of nature. “You were born to kill Nazis,†one character remarks late into the game, and during the course of the story, you’ll have killed thousands with a big stupid smile on your face. One of the most flexible FPS titles we’ve played in some time, Wolfenstein: The New Order is blemished only by some laughably stupid enemy AI in places and a slightly finicky weapon select menu. Otherwise, this is one of the most deliriously enjoyable and engaging first-person shooters you’ll play this year.

The New Order’s greatest success, though, is the fact it rejuvenates this classic franchise more than any game that has tried before it. It looks absolutely stellar, and its surprisingly strong—if sometimes over the top—story highlights the experience. With its brilliant level design and copious replayability, The New Order more than lives up to the Wolfenstein name.

War is not nice," Barbara Bush supposedly said, and it’s often difficult for creative media to get across just how nice war isn’t. Wolfenstein: The New Order has all sorts of war stories it wants to share with you and it knows how it wants you to feel, but it’s not convincing. Its stories are more sensational than poignant. It’s a decent shooter with a good few impressive moments, but it can be buggy and it doesn’t offer much you can’t find elsewhere, with little to tempt you back when it’s over. Where it most tries to stand out, in its narrative and setting, it often comes off as juvenile. Overall, it’s built on an impressive world but it doesn’t do enough with it, and as a result it’s curious, but hardly compelling.
