Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 22, 2026)

A loud, cinematic shooter about leading an armed resistance, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus scores 77.2 from 435 analyzed reviews.

👍 Strengths

90 reviews find it cathartic fun, enjoying the over the top action. 90 love the story and characters, with some praising its emotional moments and bold twists. 70 say the combat feels solid, with weapons that hit hard, fast movement and a real choice between stealth and loud play. Gameplay ranks 547th of 1396, and Visuals & Sound ranks 612th of 1249.

👎 Where it falls short

62 reviews dislike the story's tone, which they say swings awkwardly between serious and silly, with dialogue that can feel cringe. Story & World ranks 822nd of 1096. 51 report crashes, freezes and memory leaks, and some lost progress or saves. 38 find the difficulty harsh, with sudden spikes, a fragile hero and stealth that feels unforgiving, and a few struggled even on easier settings. Tech & Support ranks 867th of 1399.
