I've been replaying the 3 major modern wolfenstein games and wanted to comment a bit more on them in their own forum. Getting which one I think is the best out of the way it's The New Order AKA W1, then Old Blood WOB and last New Colossus W3. I'm not going to bother with a badly reviewed co-op game called Young Blood, didn't play it not going to.
The over the top campy nature of these games is a strength but it also wears thin and the 2 major games W1 and W3 are bloated with cutscenes and cringey woke characters and such. I think we could have used more varied gameplay levels and a LOT less of the "the crew" nonsense. I mostly hated the hideout banal "missions" of find this take this to them, find toys, etc etc And don't get me started with the AWFUL traversal of the submarine hideout which is way too big and way too confusing to force people to navigate and gatekeep the real gameplay. Thankfully we don't get much or almost any of this in WOB.
WOB is way too short and really needed to be a DLC to the first one IF the first one had cut out a LOT of the annoying cutscenes and hideout nonsense it would not have been the 90gb or so size of a resulting single game with DLC. I'll get into the game structure in the next post.
