I think the concept of Youngblood , i always think could have been really interesting. A mix of Dishonored non-linear exploration with bombastic in your face FPS gameplay of Wolfenstien seems like an unlikely but interesting pairing in my book . Unfortunately, The narrative design wasn't great and coupled with forever scaling Far Cry 4/5/6 gameplay really just made it feel flat. It's a shame cause the game looked great, sounded great, and at times in the co-op was pretty rad. I liked the Blazkowicz girls, and I thought their sort of goofy 80s teen worked but the game just never really got off the ground for me.

It's really frustrating that people never really talk about the game design or its issue, it's always the same ol' "WOKE BECAUSE TWO GIRLS! WOKE BECAUSE BLACK GIRL! WOKE BECAUSE NAZI ARE SHOWN TO BE BAD!" . It's a game worth talking about, but not really for the dumb gamer reasons.

I never got around to playing this because I wanted to do it entirely co-op and could never find anyone with enough time or interest.

As a dude who played it front-to-back with my homie i'd say it's "fine". It's one of those games I'd recommend you'd rent if that were still a thing, but you're not really not missing much. It's not a great addition to the Wolfenstien legacy, but it's fun at times. Just not all the time, and sadly the highest of fun aren't as high as they ought to be.
