I should have learned after my first Wolfenstein experience with The New Order that this series just ain't for me.

Above all, the graphics are great, everything looks fantastic, from the atmosphere to the character models, to the giant warships that the Nazis somehow managed to put together in the 1960s (no way technology moved that fast).

The health system in this game suuuucks; running around looking at the ground for medkits and smasking E, along with any armor that might be lying around. Then there are ambushes you find yourself in, and the game is ridiculously relentless in the fact that it gives you no reasonable cover space to do so much as reload your gun without getting killed. The story concept is interesting, but there's not enough substance, at least for me, to actually feel anything towards any of the characters; I felt more for the dog in the beginning of the game than I did for the pregnant lady running around. Everything just seems way more over-the-top than it has to be. Just because it takes place in an alternate reality doesn't mean everything else has to be this grandiose and technologically advanced even though the game takes place in the early 60s. I wanted to like this from the internet bait, but the gameplay is just annoying.

I understand and appreciate the importance of the series as a whole from a revolutionary FPS standpoint, but it's just not my cup of tea.

Level design is a downgrade from previous games, stealth is completly gutted as enemies somehow see and shoot at you when they are few pixels only. New weapon selection is AWFUL, Holding V and it opens a wheel menu which requires mouse movement, in the middle of combat?

Weapon upgrade system is a neat idea but locking silencer on pistol on said upgrade is stupid. The new character dialouge is just stupid and annoying.

boring and linear. alt f4'd, uninstalled, removed game from account after spending 10 minutes looking for potatoes to feed to a pig because apparently that's an engaging side quest.

speaking on the boring and linear part; it's way too linear. and it's way too boring. nothing makes this game special. just kill all the bad guys and save the good guys and you win. end stage and queue cutscene. this garbage makes the game a 4/10 in my opinion, but since i heard around 5 hard R's I'll add 5 points, bumping it up to a 9/10
