prob my favorite of the new Wolfenstein games. (haven't played youngblood and I doubt I ever will) I love the setting, the more simple set pieces and the level designs. Playing this after new colossus was like going from a cramped taxi to a first-class private jet, just because of the WEAPON WHEEL. What in the world were they thinking with the new colossus weapon wheel?! I barely switched weapons because I didn't want to have that atrocious garbage piece of UI on my screen. You expect me to balance my checkbook in the middle of a firefight to hold two assault rifles? Anyways, the game starts really strong but the final couple levels lose my interest because of the plot twist which I wasn't really a fan of (not that it doesn't fit the game or the tone just it wasn't done well) and the bosses were questionable, but the base gameplay and movement were just too good. And the best part? No in-between levels hub area where you do random menial fetch quests so you can go back into the shooting. And thank you Jesus lord in FPS heaven, they finally smartened up and gave us the double-barrel shotgun for more than a single level. In both TNO and TNC, in an act of pure malice and hatred for humanity, they gave us double-barrel shotguns and took them away. We were stuck with an admittedly decent other shotgun but nothing can replace the double-barreled perfection of this sawed-off.
