Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - PC

I love this franchise. I've played nearly every iteration of Wolfenstein since it was released years ago, and couldn't wait for this one to release. Haven't been disappointed, either. Gameplay is smooth and fluid, and I LOVE the fact that Bethesda hasn't added the current gaming bane lootboxes and other forms of microtransactions. Great storyline progression, and if you take the time to explore and interact with the other actors in the game, there a LOT of interesting side stories that enrich your experience.My only issue is older equipment. I'm running an Alienware 18" gaming laptop with dual Nvidia 970M processors, so peak game settings cause the game to lag and stutter a bit. I've also run into an issue where the game will crash back to the desktop on occasion, even at lower settings. Fortunately, you can save your progression wherever you are in the game (though there doesn't seem to be a Quicksave option), and the game itself saves checkpoints pretty frequently. I haven't lost much forward progress when it crashes and I forgot to manually save (which I forget regularly). Knowing Bethesda's habit of posting game updates to address such issues, I'm pretty confident there'll be patches and DLC that will fix my one issue.Weapons are pretty satisfying, as their results on your targets are pretty spectacular. There is some pretty graphic violence and gore, but this is in keeping with this game's theme and natural progression throughout it's history. Game controls are pretty straightforward (I'm using the PC version), so they're quickly learned and easy to cycle through.What I like most about this game is how it devotes a great deal of time to BJ as a person. There are plenty of flashbacks to his early life as a boy and young adult and even the previous Wolfenstein episode that offer insights to the present day protagonist. His interactions with other actors and surroundings in the game are many and varied, and add a deep and rich in-game experience. The enemies are challenging; the expected Nazis in very high-tech armor sporting very potent weapons, and some enemies are rather surprising, and difficult to kill for other reasons. I won't go into those enemies, as they represent an altogether new element in the Wolfenstein franchise, and are best left to your own discovery.All-in-all, a fantastic gaming experience and great continuation of the BJ Blazkowicz saga. Despite the crashes from my 2013 hardware, one of the best games I've played in a very long time. Great Job, Bethesda and Machine Games!

My impression of this game is 9/10.The game has annoying launching crash problem.I played this game with desktop PC.In my case, disable "steam overlay while in game option in wolfwenstein2 properties" in steam app,then it solved.The graphic performance is good enough.I played this game with GTX960_GPU, but looks nice, even "low" setting of game graphic option.This game has many of interesting tactical combat option. You can enjoy both of stealth and intense shooter combat. And,it also has funny mini game and challenging contents. Especially, I like enigma puzzle game, and commander hunting. I also like excellent immersive art and nice graphic quality of this game. Many of mechanical object show up in this game, and it has great detail and fine design. At last, about story. Previous wolfenstein has two different story line.In wolfenstein2, you can *choose both of two time line as simulation at the early in game play(*like withcer3 system).You can enjoy both of previous two time line with great character acting cut scene.The story writing is very nice! I enjoyed very much. But...I think,it's a SUPER CRAZY story.It's hilarious. Just don't expect serious story for this game.

These games are so much fun, the presentation, over the top story and action are top notch and attention to detail is astounding. Yea there isn't multi-player but thats in most games so you won't miss it much. Like a good book it's over before you know it and leaving you clamoring for more. It remains to be seen whether the DLC will fill that need or we have to wait another couple years for the follow on. If you are still entertained by killing over the top evil baddies (don't think I can even name them here but you know who they are) get the game, been on sale down to $25 since I bought it (full price :P) so it's decent value too. Go get 'em tiger.

The game is installed with a download that takes over an hour with high speed internet. Once I finally got it installed the very long introduction movie freezes and will not let me play the game. I wasted money and time on this purchase.Update: I foolishly bought this again hoping the bugs had been worked out. No so. Thirty minutes to copy 50 mb from the DVD, then over an hour to download the "updates." For reference, Windows 10 took 10 minutes for installation on this machine. After the cumbersome install my I7-9700 32 gigs of RAM will not run the game smoothly, and my Nvidia GeForce video card ram out of memory. Twice burned.Heck with it...uninstalling for the second time.

Outstanding game. They really did a great job with the story, gameplay, and character dev one this one. I took off one star because certain scenes and parts of the story were truly too over-the-top. Certain characters and scenes seemed to have no purpose, like basically Wyatt's entire roll.I was able to play this game with the HIGHEST settings using a Asus GTX 1070. Beautiful and smooth.If you're having issues, update your drivers and you'll be fine.Also LOL at the political haters.

I built a computer, and up until the release of this game have been using it as a media player. I kept debating on buying a console until I realized my computer with the addition of a Xbox 360 controller works even better. This game is amazing on pc. The graphics are unreal! The story line is awesome. It's like watching a movie with awesome gameplay. The story line and collecting the hidden items took me a little over 2 days of gameplay. After the vault opened extra playability has been added. There is no multiplayer, but the quality of single player more than makes up for it. I would recommend anyone considering purchasing this game to do so.
