MODERATORS
I finished Wolfenstein: The New Order and moved on to Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. I already made a couple of posts about it, but The New Order was legitimately a great game and I was surprised by how well-written it was for a big dumb console FPS. The characters and dialogue were on point- like they could've easily made BJ Blaskowicz some boring generic badass soldier archetype but he's instead a kind, good-natured but kinda dumb himbo. The game as a whole gave me really strong Half-Life 2 vibes throughout.
I've enjoyed The Old Blood so far too. It doesn't have as much going on narratively and it definitely feels like a smaller scale project but I like creeping around a medieval castle killing Nazis who are up to supernatural shenanigans. It simultaneously reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Indiana Jones as well as the spookier levels from the PS1 Medal of Honor games
I was really suprised by this when i played too. I was not expecting much storywise, i just wanted to kill nazis obviously, but wow what a great way to be suprised by a game. I also loved the characterization of BJ and his single minded devotion to nazi killing.
Skipping The New Colossus?
That comes next. I'm definitely skipping Youngblood though
Oh, I misread your comment and thought you went from The New Order directly to Youngblood
