A COMMON FPS game with impressive graphics, that's Wolfenstein: Youngblood (W:Y). It brings nothing new to the game genre, something expected from the franchise that carries the title "grandfather of 3D shooters". The game is not an open world, neither a mission based. It's an "OPEN MISSION WORLD". You can travel around the city blocks as you wish but there is no reason to explore as you will only find the same dynamics, Nazi soldiers to kill.
PC players: before buying the game make sure you have a top tier PC or patience to custom the graphics settings (this link may help). |

STORY
Vertical Divider
|
SOCIAL STATUS POTENTIAL |
Traditional UI with in-game menu divided by TABS and usual FPS overlays. The game doesn't provide a "world map" with your location, map is LIMITED to the traditional circle overlay at the top of the screen.
But, as an "open mission world" some players may feel the need of this feature, even more when searching for the collectibles.

To have fun playing W:Y, set your expectations to a really SHORT main story and for having to grind side missions to complete main missions. Beyond that, every mission is LINKED to the plot of the story and some collectibles offer more content to those who see pleasure in details. Storyline missions start and end with cutscenes to help players understand and get involved with the story.

Wolfenstein franchise is LEGENDARY in the gaming community. Every new game that carries that name will get its portion of attention. On the other hand, as most PVE games, W:Y has a short life span attention, which is limited to its release date and walk-through content generation. As gamers complete the game and jump to the next title, so does their interest.

MOOD ANALYSIS

Best moments of the game were while playing the main missions as there was a sense of achievement and progression.
Besides that, my mood was at NORMAL levels during the entire game. It didn't feel bad playing the game as it didn't feel good, and for those reasons my mood didn't oscillate. |
GRIND FEELING

Side missions SEEM to be optional but they are not. Playing main missions without grinding levels, character abilities and weapons upgrades, certainly means death at missions bosses and spamming back at the start of it. The grind feeling GROWS after storyline ends as the new side missions happens at the same places and with same soldiers.

LIKED THE MOST
In-game arcade with the game Wolfenstein 3D (1992).
DISLIKED THE MOST
Long time spent setting up graphics to game run smoothly.

EVALUATION SUMMARY
Along-side with the "perks" of carrying a known game title, also comes the "obligations". Wolfenstein: Youngblood benefits from the brand awareness but fails to deliver what this franchise represents to the gaming community. The sensation it leaves is that every effort was invested on how good the game should look, while every other element was put aside.
There should be no limit on a Wolfenstein game, the brand is strong enough to carry any price tag. If every game element was as perfect as its graphics, this would have been a cheap game to buy. Sadly, ends to be an expensive game, as perfect graphics alone will never be fun. |
