MachineGames and Bethesda's newest adventure first-person shooter video game "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" received positive reviews from both fans and critics. Gamers commended the storyline of the game with the Nazis winning World War II.
According to IGN's review, the developer managed to fully maximize the campaign story accompanied with an extensive first-person shooter gameplay. The main story of the game tells an alternate result of World War II, with the Nazis being victorious and taking over America. The main protagonist of the game, B.J. Blazkowicz, faces Nazi soldiers with heavy arsenals and advanced warfare technologies.
Gamers have the chance to defeat the Nazis regime in an original story tailored just for the game. The game also featured the infamous leader of the Nazi Party, Adolf Hitler. Instead of a strong, cruel, and charismatic chancellor, Hitler was portrayed as an old, sickly, and pathetic old man. A few members of the Ku Klux Klan appeared in the game and they are receiving language lessons from a Nazi solider in full tactical gear.
All in all, most of the reviews focused on the story of the game rather than the gameplay. Many are amazed on how the developer created an alternate reality resulting to bloodshed and revolution. The game also introduced a new set of weapons from stylish handguns, a hatchet, 4-barreled guns, and even a flamethrower that shoots fireball. The enemy variety of the game was also well received by several players.
The game received a 9.1 score from IGN, 9 from Polygon, and 89% rating from Metacritic. "Wolfenstein: The New Colossus" is also the recipient of several awards during the Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3. Based on score ratings from video game critics, the sequel is well executed and improved in many elements. The initial game "Wolfenstein: The New Order" got a 7.8 score from IGN and 79% from Metacritic.
