The New Order Preview
This isn’t to say there aren’t problems. Paul Tassi had his own issues with the digital version of the game earlier, and Alex Knapp is playing the PC copy and preparing his Forbes review even as we speak. The game isn’t perfect, naturally. But on my Buy/Hold/Sell scale, I give this one a Buy. It may be a bit of an oddity—silly overarching plot coupled with a remarkably serious tone that handles the Nazi menace as a truly despicable thing—but it’s a lot of fun.
Machinegames should also be commended for artfully working unsanitized references to real-life Nazi atrocities into its alternate history story without fear of offending anybody. You're given startling glimpses into Nazi's systematic mistreatment of the mentally ill and handicapped, a first-hand look at a forced labor camp, and plenty of allusions to Nazi treatment of non-Aryan people around the world, including in occupied America. All of this, peppered into in-game and pre-rendered cutscenes, makes The New Order feel surprisingly human, and your situation quite desperate.
Gameplay There’s something about the game that is so much more than that. Yes, it’s competent. But it’s more than that. It’s a thoughtful, invigorating shooter focused entirely on its single-player campaign. The game is as tight and well-tuned as any shooter I’ve played in recent years. Bethesda Reveals Wolfenstein Xbox One And PS4 Resolutions Dave Thier Contributor People get a little skittish about licensing their music when it’s about Nazis, even when it’s about shooting and killing them,” said Pete Hines , vice president for public relations and marketing at Bethesda. Of course if you have a mandated requirement for testicles in your World War II shooter, you might want to check out this gameplay from Sniper Elite 3 instead.
This combination of old ideas and new hooks seems mismatched, but I was taken aback by how well it all worked together. As a stealth-inclined player, I was happy to learn that I had the space and equipment to focus on that more often than not. And when I was forced to engage in direct combat, I still had everything I needed to get the job done. The New Order finds a reasonable balance between presenting enemies that don't feel like fodder without getting in the way of its own narrative momentum and world-building.
The maps are a good mix of multiple paths and linear hallways, although they tend to err on the side of the latter far too often. It's not nearly as open as say, the new Rise of the Triad or even older Wolfenstein games, as you'll usually know where to go, or where secrets are hidden. You'll also get to make a major choice at the start of the game that will influence your skills and the storyline ever so slightly, but the differences are marginal.
