Wolfenstein: The New Order is out now, and like its predecessors in the series, the game is chock full of secrets that range from gold items to find, to the new additions of Enigma Codes and letters. Needless to say, there are plenty of collectibles in the game for players to find and discover.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is a shining example of how to revitalize an old-school franchise. Its alternate history of World War II with the Nazis coming out on top is both far-fetched and over-the-top, but it keeps it grounded by being an extremely fun shooter, having a compelling story with well-developed characters, and a main protagonist who you’ll truly care about to the end. For some gamers, the $60 asking price for a shooter with no multiplayer might stop them at the door, but in the end they’ll be the ones missing out on one helluva ride!

While the player and supporting cast get a fantastic coat of paint, there are occasionally downright ugly textures. Some objects seem to be melted into the surface of desks, others just look jagged and untextured when closely inspected. The vast majority of the time you’ll hardly notice these items, but when you do see them occasionally pop up they stick out like a swastika spraypainted on the side of a church.

With such a bewildering mix of elements this has been one of the hardest games to score in a long while. Ultimately the fact that it’s simply an excellent shooter, with a lot of interesting and unique (or at least half-forgotten) ideas is enough to ensure an unreserved recommendation. If the storytelling doesn’t quite fulfil its potential as well as the gameplay that’s fine, not just because the game’s enjoyable without it but simply because it tried at all.

Nathan Lawrence can be found fragging n00bs in a variety of digital battlefields, but most commonly the ones from the franchise with a capital ‘B’. He loves games with a strong narrative component, and believes in a gaming world where cutscenes are no longer necessary. In his lack of spare time, Nathan can be found working on a variety of wacky script ideas, and dreams of freeing cinemagoers from unnecessary sequels and pointless remakes by writing films with never-before-seen twists and turns. But mostly he’s all about the fragging of n00bs.

Finally, the choice to create two alternative timelines based on a choice in the first chapter is an obviously artificial way of stretching playtime (perhaps to compensate for the lack of multiplayer): It succeeds only in calling attention to the more frustrating parts of the game. This is a step backward at a point when everything else about The New Order—the best entry yet in the Wolfenstein series—is moving forward.

None of it is new or groundbreaking. Players familiar with the last 10 years of FPS gameplay will instantly recognize all the trappings of stealth, tactical uses of cover, and overpowered dual-wielding. But The New Order is commendable for effectively gathering all those play styles in one place and making them work so well together. When you botch an attempt to stealthily take down a room’s commanders, who can radio for reinforcements, you can instantly flip out a pair of assault rifles and mop up your mistake. You can quickly go from taking cover and methodically dropping soldiers to sprinting to a mounted turret, pulling it free of its moorings, and bringing it to bear against a giant robot.

Even Blazkowicz stands somewhere between, sometimes appearing more human than ever in his reminiscence of the old world. Then it’s back to whispering obscenities at the moon and saying utterly painful things like "War: the undoing of life itself." He probably whispers so nobody can hear how bad his lines are.

Furthermore, its stealth sections boast a satisfying end should you be skilled enough to approach them successfully. The New Order’s claims of offering a choice wherever/whenever are a little audacious – killboxes are often designed with a particular offensive in mind – but the option, and awaiting sense of pride, is always there.
