However, now that the first reviews for Wolfenstein: The New Order have hit, it appears that, despite prior concerns, MachineGames was able to deliver a competent shooter with surprisingly strong character work. B.J. Blazkowicz’s latest journey may not be without flaws, but as another intriguing next-gen title it apparently delivers.
Boasting an alternate history timeline that encourages two full playthroughs, some unique riffs on stealth, and plenty of Nazi-killing goodness, Wolfenstein: The New Order might just be the other must-play title for May. Read on to see what critics around the Net are saying about the game:
