Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

In 2014, the Wolfenstein series of first-person shooter games returned to us, a preboot of the series that is the mother of this type of games, ensuring distinctive levels and wonderful graphics on current generation home devices. Now, after three years later, the series returns to us in its sequel Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, returning with the savage and barbaric hero BJ Blazkowicz to eliminate more Nazis.

The story of the game begins with a brief reminder of the main events of the first part. The events begin five months after the end of the first part, when Blazkowicz wakes up after those five months, having sustained a serious injury that claimed his life, and finds that the submarine that his friends from the Resistance had taken over from was attacked by the Nazis after he faced the danger he was exposed to. With the heading you begin the next step in the fight against the Nazis to the United States of America to liberate it from the Nazis and make it the cornerstone of your plan to completely rid the world of this unjust rule.

Blazkowicz learns he has two children along the way, giving him greater motivation to finish the tiring war against the regime that has taken over the world. He will meet many new faces who will join the resistance to fight a new war. Story sections are told cinematically, as was the case in the previous part, and the story is not as deep as it was. It’s to be expected from an arcade-oriented genre game, but the narrative is entertaining and reasonably funny with a few dark jokes here and there.

Graphics and Visuals

The game offers amazing and beautiful graphics with precise details of the environment and attention to the various visual effects while paying attention to lighting, shadows and other elements. The game runs at a frame rate of 60 frames most of the time with a slight drop in frames during battles where the screen is filled with enemies in a way that doesn’t detract from the experience and you may not notice it when you get into battle immerse yourself. With the battle you fight.

The melodies in the game come from the creator Mick Gordon, who gave us the melodies in the first part and the reboot of the DOOM games, and his work here is no less than his work in previous games, where you get distinctive and enthusiastic Melodies as you enter the main battle zones, where the environment around you is full of enemies of all kinds and you hear them. Melodies that put you in the battle atmosphere and urge you to destroy your enemies with all ferocity.

Gameplay and Mechanics

The game system is the same as in the first part, with some changes, since now you can carry two weapons at the same time without them having to be of the same type, using the quick selection wheel, and this time you use the ax instead of the knife At a certain point you can deliver the knockout punches, which have become increasingly wild and violent. Based on experience, you can choose between 3 specific additions to your character that will affect the way you play the game in the next stages.

Experience and Missions

You can choose the ability to charge through walls, which also allows you to charge through enemies.

Finally, you have the ability: High Jump, which gives you a strategic advantage in combat, with the ability to reach high places and create alternative paths.

The gaming experience follows the same philosophy as the first part by being based on classic shooting games, and the experience is very similar to the first part, except for the additional mechanics that we mentioned in the previous lines. Although they don’t offer major changes, they are still an exciting and fun experience, and you will go through two or three different missions, such as: B. driving one of the vehicles. Enemies or moving around in a wheelchair at the start of the game.
