+ Partially destructible environments
+ Partially destructible environments + Absolutely jaw-dropping, stunning soundtrack; does wonders to set the mood and keep you immersed in the game + Voice-acting was borderline flawless, and the dialogue superbly scripted + Authentic German and other languages pervasive throughout the game + Tons and tons of lore-friendly articles and collectibles throughout + A hidden, Wolfenstein 3D minigame that almost deserves a review of its own accord; the nostalgia was overwhelming + Interesting, creative, and lore-friendly weapon designs + Facial animations, particularly the protagonist, were done very well and did much to convey the nuances of emotional expression + So much attention to detail, in every respect + Weapon customizations, while somewhat sparse, were a delight and really enriched the gameplay + The narrative was well-delivered, meticulously thought-out, and shattered my expectations with an intense emotional depth + Gunplay, melee, and stealth mechanics were all solid and well-designed (though, didn't sport much in the way of innovation) - Poor environmental textures - Moving down ladders is a massive hazard and a minor design flaw - Minor fetch quests in the Resistance's 'secret base' are good for enriching the plot and character developement, but could have been better implemented in that it noticeably breaks up the pacing of the game and felt tedious above all else LockeProposal's Big Day Out

Worth every hour
I remember watching gameplay during E3 2013 and thinking it looked like just another "generic FPS with the Wolfenstein brand slapped on". Here I am a year later eating those words, as Wolfenstein: The New Order is most probably my game of the year for 2014. Serious Sam style over-the-top one-man-army gameplay that feels amazing, with a meaty arsenal of weapons (all of which can be dual-wielded) and a heavy reliance on health and armour pickups as opposed to health regeneration. The alternate post-WW2 setting is also incredibly well realised, with varied and interesting locales that stay interesting over the course of the games 8-10 hour length. Not to mention the game's soundtrack featuring Nazi-fied versions of famous real world songs is worth a look on its own. Combined with a surprisingly well told story featuring characters that you'll actually care about (with special mention going to Brian Bloom's performance as BJ Blazkowicz) makes this the freshest single player FPS I've played this generation. Hands down. If you're even remotely interested in this game, pick it up. I hope you'll be as blown away as I was.
