Besides some ill-fitting RPG elements (for real, the damage-type mechanic made me tear my hair out), Youngblood is ultimately a entertaining small-scale addition to the Wolfenstein canon. That's partly due to the dorky-ass protagonists Soph and Jess, who prove a breath of fresh air from the gruff BJ of previous games. But the FPS also benefits from an enhanced sense of non-linear traversal, likely thanks to Dishonored dev Arkane's contributions. In all, I had a totally tubular time.
