I just played this game and holly shit. It's like the enemies are trying to makeup for the lack of throwing grenades in "The new world order". Damn almost every second they threw a grenade!
New Order and Old Blood are, and may forever be my favourite entries in the series. I don't think we'll ever get a Wolfenstein as good as these. Magnificent games I'd love to forget just so I can play them again like a complete noob.
***** If exploding nazis heads and limbs and shooting them so hard that you can see their internal organs isn't very graphically violent then i dont know what is...
I LOVED this game. took me 10 hours to finish because I really wanted to take my time. Best shooting in a modern shooter in a very long time. At this price it's a steal.
Big truth probably the coolest Nazi like i could’ve seen him and bj going at it like snake and revolver ocelot through the series like metal gear also something about rudi he looks low key anime looking especially him and his dog together
I just got this for $5 for PS4. I am impressed with the graphics, it actually looks close to PC. The beginning was really frustrating but once things get rolling, it's a lot of fun to kill the enemies. I haven't had this much fun in a single player FPS in a while.
Machine Games have the smoothest shooters ever. No other FPS gave me so much joy only by shooting nazis. I will wait for purchasing the retail version for PS4. It Really worth it. Great review as always.
Thanks for the review. Took me 11 hours on Uber difficulty, and challenge mode gives enough replayability, so the price is really good in my view. I love that all the best aspects of The New Order return here. Top notch shooting mechanics and choice, even better combat scenarios, cool and emotional character moments, memorable Blazko narration, just being absolutely hilarious, humanising the Nazis with either funny conversations or poignant ones like the guy crying over his wife in the tavern. I found being able to turn AI vs AI a lot of fun in the second half, which is especially useful for the end battle in chapter 6. They even bothered putting in one choice which affects the ending, considering this only took 1 year of development.
You keep saying DLC, it's a standalone game like Dead Rising Off The Record. It has the same amount of achievements as The New Order (51), 7 Chapters, 10 Challenge maps, 64 Gold collectables like 10+ letters to find, 16 perks upgrades and just like New Order you choose which person you want to save... My point here is your getting a whole lot of game for just £13.85 on PS4 or £12.25 on PC. I preordered it on PS4 when I sell it on I might actually make money considering I got £5 a voucher on amazon (payed £7.60).
A game's worth should NOT be based solely on playtime. This is one of the very things that plagues the industry's ability to price effectively. I'll take a quality 6 hours over a monotonous, inflated 40 that has little to offer in the grand scheme.
I personally found the difficulty to be complete bullcrap half the time, and that's coming ftom a guy who thought Doom 2016s ultra violence difficulty was a little to easy.
Don't rush too much, if you expect this game to play like Doom then u are wrong, I completed in on Uber and i didn't have much problems except for 2 or 3 sections. Also if you are dying too much, try to use stealth since it makes game way easier
I like the system which forces you to pick up your ammo/armor. It makes you explore more and for me it made me more wise with the ammo and armor I had. I think it was a good thing for the game and a nice throwback. The game doesn't just hand everything to you.
Gggmanlives They totally did it on purpose, there's even an article on Gamasutra about it. Even after significant disdain they decided to keep it for TOB. It's a shame, but it doesnt detract from the experience that much.
@@Gggmanlives ironically, for me both Wolfenstein games are like a "best of" of everything ass about this generation of games. checkpoints, screen shaking, messy to inexistent IA, broken stealth with completely overpowered melee, etc. they sure tried to develop fps friendly for console players it seems. to think same editor more or less killed Prey with bad marketing, investing everything in Wolfenstein licence..
For me this game is much longer than 5 hours and I'm just playing on normal with occasional, but not frequent deaths. I like exploring the secret areas as well. The only thing I'd disagree with in the review is that I find picking up items is great and makes it more frantic. It also makes you more aware of your environment and what you have picked up and what you haven't. The stealth section also wasn't that bad, it was actually quite tense and the atmosphere was good. I definitely didn't want any MORE of it but it didn't take away from the game imo. This game takes me around 10 hours to complete, and a lot of other people are getting the same time. This definitely is more like an old school EXPANSION than it is a "DLC" imo. This is the Resurrection of Evil to your Wolfenstein. New weapons, some new enemies, new environments, solid narrative and story and the same great gameplay. Average length of 8-10 hours on normal difficulty. It's worth every penny. If people don't support this and torrent it or wait for sales then you all deserve DRM and more EA style DLC. Machine Games did us good here.
What I love about The Old Blood is the level design, when I got killed (uber difficulty) , it's my own fault for not moving constantly, there are always enough armor and health in each arena, and covers for run, stop, shoot, run..... Great review!
1:03 Why did Germans develop a combat shotgun as a weapon of war when they've always been scared shitless of shotguns as "inhumane" weapons of war? Because alternate timeline, maybe. Also, why does that shotgun eject casings to the right if it also feeds from the right? See also Bandit pistols from Borderlands 2. 3:01 Again with the toggle-lock pistol! Yeah, it's supposed to be reminiscent of the Luger P08, but that was obsolete long before it was replaced by the Walther P38. In the Wolfenstein series, toggle-lock pistols are still being issued in 1980! Why would Germans, who are known for technological advancement (for better or worse), still be clinging onto an obsolete pistol decades after it had been outmoded and outclassed by other designs?! 6:04 When you saw off shotgun barrels, it leaves burs which have to be sanded off or you won't get good patterns. A disc sander works best, but a belt sander will do. Otherwise, if you have to use improvised means or manual tools, it'll be a pain.
Ugh yeah the opening really does drag, but once the game really started its great. Although personally I've been having more issues with the stealth than I remember from the last game. Detection and just the general balance feels a tad bit off compared to what I remember of the bigger game. Still a great DLC game, and I love that they brought back and developed Helga's character and the supernatural stuff.
5 hrs? You must have runned and gunned through this game. Im playing it full stealth with exception of few forced alarm sections and it took me 5 hours to beat the first 2 chapters. To each hus iwn, im actually really glad that you can stealth most of this game (hell, there are certain sections I don't even kill anyone and just sneak by after some trial and error) because stealth games are my favorite genre, wdll open world too. I plan on doing a full on murder run after I finish so I can use more of the weapons except the silenced pistol but fir now its stealth all the way. And I liked the beginning, its something wd dont see a lot of, most fps games are run and gun now. I also love the dream levels where you're taken vack too wolfenstien 3d with the current weapons, brings back so much nostalgia. For me, this was the besf $18 I spent on games in a while, im sure ill get 20 to 25 hrs out of my first play through, sneaking and exploring every nook and cranny plus a few play throughs of run and gun.
I thought I might be the only one who hated the prison escape at the start. In my original play through I got so board waiting on the guards I just set it to the easiest difficulty and ran through.
That... is a great idea. I might try that just so I can get to the good parts of the game. I rage quitted out of impatience trying to get through that prison escape then dying countless times.
playing along with New order after some time, and holy fuck i dont know many fps's with such a satisfying shooting, those headshots in particular are daaaaaaaaaamn!
I completely agree on the forced stealth level overstaying its welcome. Probably my least favourite part of the game but everything else was solid fun.
yea I forgot I had it. I have like...481 games on steam lol. I just randomly decided to install it about an hour ago and saw it was over 30 gigs. definitely gonna uninstall after I'm done playing through it. I generally dont play many single player games these days. Just feeling giving it a shot.
was looking for a review from mainstream sites like ign, gamespot, etc but came through this. really good review, everything seemed and sounded thorough. anyways, $20 for 5 hours? ill get this when its cheap
Really great expansion, weird thing is that the TNO has loads of stutter for me but TOB runs butter smooth. I think machine games better optimised this standalone.
I figured this game would be no more than 2 or 3 hours, let alone 5. With that much time, surely some parts stand out for the sake of replayability, and the drop in price is more valuable than a few more hours of material.
Well... About that first prison stage. After you power down that super soldier, you can kill him with your pipe, take his gun and not lose it until you proceed through another powered door. And I do not consider this stand-alone prequel to be DLC.
Hey Gggman! i know its a bit different from what you normally review, but think you could look at Verdun? its a realistic WW1 shooter similar to Red Orchestra, looks really cool but i want your thoughts on it before i buy it? Thanks Man!
The only issue i have with the game is you cant auto pick up items, sure it makes it a bit more challenging in some circumstances, but i wish it had a setting to enable it, aside from that its a great game. And its locked at 60fps
I am still ultra confused about which games are canon (currently). I still believe RtCW comes first followed by Wolfenstein2009. Wolfenstein TNO would have to be next since it not only features Caroline Becker who recalls being shot by Hans Grosse, but BJ and Deathshead are still strong enemies. Plus BJ recalls swimming through the pools of water in the X-Labs from RtCW. However, there is Wolfenstein TOB which is a direct prequel to TNO, but it would strongly contradict the events of RtCW. But since it does not contain Hans Grosse (instead Rudi Jaeger in his place), it would imply Wolfenstein2009 is still canon(Once again, Caroline remember the event s of that game).
No disrespect, I just have an honest question. I always find it odd that so many TH-camrs focus their views of a game largely on the "bang for your buck" mentality. I personally don't understand that mindset, but I would like to have an honest discussion with you about why you may focus on that. (Just judging by your critique on the length and price of the game)
Gggmanlives No not really. Because personally, I would rather a game be 4 hours long and it be fantastic all 4 hours, than a game that is 60+ hours and it overstayed its welcome 40 hours ago. I mean we all loved Star Fox 64, and that game you can beat roughly less than an hour.
Gggmanlives I would rather play Journey or Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeros hundreds of times over then play say, any of the Final Fantasy XIII games once.
Gggmanlives Also remember, most people don't even beat the games they buy, in fact statistically, 9 out of 10 people don't even beat the game they are playing. kotaku.com/5832450/nine-out-of-10-will-not-finish-the-game-they-are-playing Not to say long games are bad, I just don't see games being short as negative at all. Hell there are plenty of games that are long that I love, the Arkham series, Bioshock 1 and Infinite, Far Cry 3, Deus Ex series, Half life series, etc. They have their place, however, saying a game is bad or "a negative point is that it's only a few hours long" in my opinion, is flawed. We love Star Fox, FTL, Portal, GunPoint, Braid, Five Nights at Freddy's, the Stanley Parable, etc. these are short games that we all love, so I personally don't understand why shortness is considered bad. Length of a game shouldn't be as important in the way you are presenting it. It should be about pacing. I mean Final Fantasy XIII is 15 hours until you get out of the damn tutorial, it lags and lags and lags and you're 13 hours in and still in a tutorial (not to mention that game borderline plays for you) and you just want it to end already, where you play games like FTL or Portal, both games you can beat in like an hour or 2 and guess what? You constantly go back to those games over and over again, why? Because they are paced extremely well and are fun in their own right. But if you keep focusing so much on how long a game is and factoring it as a positive or negative critique, you kind of pigeon hole developers, saying that their games need to be at least 15 hours or longer or it's not worth my money and then greedy publishers see that and then you start seeing arbitrary ways being forced into games to make them longer than their proper lengths. I.E. Final Fantasy XIII, Infamous: Second Son, the infamous "Find the pieces of the Triforce in Wind Waker" nobody liked that mission (though (I still love that game) etc.
How much did the game cost in your country? "I would have liked it to last a little bit longer, especially consider the pricetag" For me that was a pisitive thing, because of the short story, they sold it for only about 15€ (hungary)
it would be awesome if they could release multiplayer for TNO game some day. Great Review as always, definitely buying this DLC when I have the budget.
The forced stealth was a slog but (I guess this is considered a spoiler so yea) I kind of thought zombies where a bit of a pushover enemy type. When I first saw them I just used the luger and one bullet to the head, dead. I just didn't see them as a threat kind of more of a joke. Which made moments like the sawn off shotgun scene kind of a joke to me.
***** Gggmanlives I found the same to be true after searching the channel just now. Unless there's an alternate account you have, Ggg, there is no BM review.
20$ for 5 hours of entertiment is fair in my opinion you go to a movie, the ticket is about 15$ and that's just 2-3 hours of entertiment and that's now considering the costs of drink or popcorn
Gggmanlives you know you can just make a US account on the PSN just add fake US details and bam, 20 American dollars i find sony's exchange rate to be completely absurd sometimes and if you're on steam... then that's even easier with G2A
I prefer this to New Blood. Better weapon models, more diverse gameplay, less fat on its bones when it comes to pacing, and the entire Wolfenstein 3D remastered in glorious form. It's a lean, mean, muscular machine of an FPS game.
ive known about these wolfenstein games i even played and owned New Order for awhile. but this went under the radar for me, i just saw a trailer outta curiosity in another video and it blew me away, got on steam and just bought it, cant wait to try it out, i love doom, duke, shadow warrior games.
+zubin arya I just bought both on black Friday and I'm having trouble deciding which first. I know tno came out first and that's the developers intention, but knowing the old blood is a prequel its a toss up.
+TheC0ckPushupMaster you mean the old game from 2003 ? i loved that game, much better than this one. sure its old and doesn't have much in cinematics, but it was more fun, less controling the user and directing him like cattle.

Old blood is a DLC? I thought its a separate game of wolfenstein?
It's not as good as TNO but it doesn't need to be. It was a very fun journey back to Castle Wolfenstein and had some cool twists.
I completely agree on the forced stealth level overstaying its welcome. Probably my least favourite part of the game but everything else was solid fun.

For what it was, it was a damn good piece of DLC.
This review begins, and ends, with Blazko saying the same word, in the same tone 0:07 - 6:25
Definitely agree with you, G-man, in that this game is one of the best FPSs I've played. I had much fun with it. Love those meaty arsensal of weapons.

My only real problem with this game was that I felt like I was gunna have a fit every time someone fired there gun.
Great review gggman ! But how is the level design of the dlc ? Much more open or linear ? :/
Nacho-fu91 Sarkasmo Very linear, but in a good way.
I'm glad to hear it's good. I loved The New Order and was looking for more of the same.
The locked 60fps limitation of the id tech 5 engine is a real downer on this series :(
This,blade of agony and the new order are my favorite wolfenstein games
I didn't like all the welding and searching in The New Order. I aslo didn't like the fact that the reload button is also the same to pick up stuff
gabeeee323 re-bined keys. Nuff' said.
pepper Mill lmao!!! PC
+gabeeee323 i really liked creating paths and access hidden areas by welding and cutting though a bit scripted
So this Game looks much better than the main game? In your review you said the new order was a mixed bag yet this looks gorgeous.
Main issue with idTech 5 & 4 to extent is their engine compatability with Nvidia GPUs, so ATI/AMD users get shafted there.
Excellent game and I don't really consider this a DLC.
Thanks, Brad.

You're one of my favourite video game reviewers!!! Can you please review Subnautica?
Is the smg in this dlc? If not I'm probably not going to buy it because it was my favorite gun in the new order but you only get it for one mission
Well... About that first prison stage. After you power down that super soldier, you can kill him with your pipe, take his gun and not lose it until you proceed through another powered door.
And I do not consider this stand-alone prequel to be DLC.
I got this game since I already preordered new DOOM, can't wait to play it ;)
Does It have the zombies from Return to Castle ?
Sure does
Wolf ET those were the days
Hey Gggman! i know its a bit different from what you normally review, but think you could look at Verdun? its a realistic WW1 shooter similar to Red Orchestra, looks really cool but i want your thoughts on it before i buy it?
Thanks Man!
+Salokin Sekwah i want him to do a review on red orchestra but verdun was originally a browser based game
Great review, i expect this game to go down in price. Will buy it when it's either $15 or $10
My game looks fuzzy and not a whole lot of detail. Is it just me or can someone help?
Tyler Oberuc have you got film grain on?
joshua powell No I figured out it was my digital vibrance I have that on for counter strike
The only issue i have with the game is you cant auto pick up items, sure it makes it a bit more challenging in some circumstances, but i wish it had a setting to enable it, aside from that its a great game.
And its locked at 60fps
As long as the gameplay is refine, I don't mind being the same.
I am still ultra confused about which games are canon (currently).
I still believe RtCW comes first followed by Wolfenstein2009. Wolfenstein TNO would have to be next since it not only features Caroline Becker who recalls being shot by Hans Grosse, but BJ and Deathshead are still strong enemies. Plus BJ recalls swimming through the pools of water in the X-Labs from RtCW.
However, there is Wolfenstein TOB which is a direct prequel to TNO, but it would strongly contradict the events of RtCW. But since it does not contain Hans Grosse (instead Rudi Jaeger in his place), it would imply Wolfenstein2009 is still canon(Once again, Caroline remember the event s of that game).
Nazi go brrr is all that matters everything else is decoration
Looks really good! Thanks for the review
i was going to get wolfenstein the new order and rise of the triad but i really don't know how they play compared to other shooters bryan t
No disrespect, I just have an honest question. I always find it odd that so many TH-camrs focus their views of a game largely on the "bang for your buck" mentality. I personally don't understand that mindset, but I would like to have an honest discussion with you about why you may focus on that. (Just judging by your critique on the length and price of the game)
Logan Spence How is that NOT important? Don't you care whether a game is 2 or 8 hours long?
Gggmanlives No not really. Because personally, I would rather a game be 4 hours long and it be fantastic all 4 hours, than a game that is 60+ hours and it overstayed its welcome 40 hours ago. I mean we all loved Star Fox 64, and that game you can beat roughly less than an hour.
Gggmanlives I would rather play Journey or Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeros hundreds of times over then play say, any of the Final Fantasy XIII games once.
Gggmanlives Also remember, most people don't even beat the games they buy, in fact statistically, 9 out of 10 people don't even beat the game they are playing.

Not to say long games are bad, I just don't see games being short as negative at all. Hell there are plenty of games that are long that I love, the Arkham series, Bioshock 1 and Infinite, Far Cry 3, Deus Ex series, Half life series, etc. They have their place, however, saying a game is bad or "a negative point is that it's only a few hours long" in my opinion, is flawed. We love Star Fox, FTL, Portal, GunPoint, Braid, Five Nights at Freddy's, the Stanley Parable, etc. these are short games that we all love, so I personally don't understand why shortness is considered bad.
Length of a game shouldn't be as important in the way you are presenting it. It should be about pacing. I mean Final Fantasy XIII is 15 hours until you get out of the damn tutorial, it lags and lags and lags and you're 13 hours in and still in a tutorial (not to mention that game borderline plays for you) and you just want it to end already, where you play games like FTL or Portal, both games you can beat in like an hour or 2 and guess what? You constantly go back to those games over and over again, why? Because they are paced extremely well and are fun in their own right. But if you keep focusing so much on how long a game is and factoring it as a positive or negative critique, you kind of pigeon hole developers, saying that their games need to be at least 15 hours or longer or it's not worth my money and then greedy publishers see that and then you start seeing arbitrary ways being forced into games to make them longer than their proper lengths. I.E. Final Fantasy XIII, Infamous: Second Son, the infamous "Find the pieces of the Triforce in Wind Waker" nobody liked that mission (though (I still love that game) etc.
Gggmanlives But what your thoughts on what I've said, I honestly want to know. Promise this is legit and not a troll.
How much did the game cost in your country? "I would have liked it to last a little bit longer, especially consider the pricetag"
For me that was a pisitive thing, because of the short story, they sold it for only about 15€ (hungary)
I love FPS but never played New Order. Should I start with this...or play N.O. first?
Jerry Joe TNO
Should I play old blood and then new order or new order first?
The Stalker thank you
If they could mix everything from The New Order and make it open world like that one Wolfenstein game, was it 2009?
Is this being released in two parts?
"Shooting nirvana"
*see a super shotgun at the beginning*
*BOI*
What about the challenges.
Does this look and play better on pc vs xbox one x?
it would be awesome if they could release multiplayer for TNO game some day.
Great Review as always, definitely buying this DLC when I have the budget.
The forced stealth was a slog but (I guess this is considered a spoiler so yea) I kind of thought zombies where a bit of a pushover enemy type. When I first saw them I just used the luger and one bullet to the head, dead. I just didn't see them as a threat kind of more of a joke. Which made moments like the sawn off shotgun scene kind of a joke to me.
+Waluigi666
well, that scene was suppose to be a joke...I think.
Great review, mate! Did you prefer this to the main game then? Oh and was this game as pulpy and cheesy as they said it would be?
baxopoka98 I prefer the main game because it has a better length, but this is a really fun remake of RTCW.
Gggmanlives Fair enough! RTCW is one of my favourite FPS games of all time so can't go wrong there!
baxopoka98
Then you've got good taste!
Gggmanlives Coming from the gggman himself... that's quite the compliment!
I liked this over the New Colossus and The New Order. I like the plots of the older games better too.
Do you plan on reviewing Black Mesa now that it's in Early Access on Steam?
Steven Cropper Yeah but I reviewed the mod, not the Early Access verison.
Gggmanlives Oh, I must have missed the mod review. Thanks for replying!
Gggmanlives You don't actually have a review for Black Mesa on your channel...
***** Gggmanlives I found the same to be true after searching the channel just now. Unless there's an alternate account you have, Ggg, there is no BM review.
20$ for 5 hours of entertiment is fair in my opinion
you go to a movie, the ticket is about 15$ and that's just 2-3 hours of entertiment
and that's now considering the costs of drink or popcorn
TheSharpmarksman It's not $20 in Australia. I need to put a disclaimer on the video or something...
Gggmanlives you know you can just make a US account on the PSN
just add fake US details and bam, 20 American dollars
i find sony's exchange rate to be completely absurd sometimes
and if you're on steam... then that's even easier with G2A
TheSharpmarksman
I'm playing it on PC...
Gggmanlives it's 18$ bucks on G2A
don't tell you don't know the exitance of third party sellers?
I prefer this to New Blood. Better weapon models, more diverse gameplay, less fat on its bones when it comes to pacing, and the entire Wolfenstein 3D remastered in glorious form. It's a lean, mean, muscular machine of an FPS game.
What do you all think about id Software? They are legends
If I havent played wolfenstein the new order and I want to play that should I play this first?
Eruntien killbane You don't have to, it's meant to work well being played after TNO. Either way, it'll give you a good background story.
what happened to wolfenstein 2
ive known about these wolfenstein games i even played and owned New Order for awhile. but this went under the radar for me, i just saw a trailer outta curiosity in another video and it blew me away, got on steam and just bought it, cant wait to try it out, i love doom, duke, shadow warrior games.
Wolfenstein TNO or Old blood?
i don't know which one to get
Andrew Kelley Both.
Maybe TOB first and the TNO then?
Andrew Kelley Get TNO, it has a very good story & long gameplay.
For this one, the gameplay is around 20 hours but the story doesn't really mean much.
+Andrew Kelley definitely prioritise tno it has much more content but both games pack a punch
+zubin arya I just bought both on black Friday and I'm having trouble deciding which first. I know tno came out first and that's the developers intention, but knowing the old blood is a prequel its a toss up.
After playing this game, I think my body is ready for the upcoming DOOM
Same.
The game itself was too short for its price tag, would you say it was worth its price tag?
Ghostly Gizzles It's $40 in Australia, which is too high for the length.
Gggmanlives Holy hell! 40 bucks? Australians get screwed! I mean, I knew regular games were $100, but $40 for this dlc? That's insane.
The stealth section was boring? Gtfo mate
waiting for months for wolfenstein TNO price drop for pc and still waiting
I will buy this. When is offer. In meantime, I am busying on my real life.
Any plans on making a review on Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection?
+TheC0ckPushupMaster Nope.
+TheC0ckPushupMaster you mean the old game from 2003 ? i loved that game, much better than this one. sure its old and doesn't have much in cinematics, but it was more fun, less controling the user and directing him like cattle.
